At that exact same hour, the pirate FM broadcast relay in Coyoacán that had been re-transmitting Nova's songs went silent. A well-known underground rockero who had recorded the uncredited guitar solos for the Mexican LP vanished that night. The mural in Coyoacán still shows his face, but people say when the streetlight flickers it glitters into someone else. -- Mikhail Sato "Tape doesn't lie at 02:14. Ears do."

The Mexican pressing of SYNTHESIS is the only one in the world with the unmuted guitar solos. They tried to confiscate all copies. -- Brian Schneider | bschneider@mit.edu PGP Key fingerprint: F4C5 5A22 4FA0 AB7E "Keep the channels open."
