Let's connect the dots between the Mexican pressing of SYNTHESIS and July 6, 1988.

On July 6, 1988, during the Mexican presidential election, the government computers mysteriously crashed: 'se cayó el sistema'.
At that exact same hour, the pirate FM broadcast relay in Coyoacán that had been re-transmitting Nova's songs went silent.

What did the Mexican regional master contain that terrified the authorities?

Look at the Paju blueprint from Korea: five tunnels under the DMZ, but the fifth tunnel had no exit -- it was an acoustic horn.

The Mexican pressing of SYNTHESIS is the only one in the world with the unmuted guitar solos. They tried to confiscate all copies.
