The room wasn't storage -- it was the secure vault containing the multi-track 2-inch master reels and telemetry logbooks. Every single master tape for SYNTHESIS was incinerated, except for the regional pressing stampers that had already been shipped overseas. Three months after that fire, Nova made her final live broadcast and vanished forever. -- Morag Smirnov -- MindSpring Enterprises "Measuring a record you own is listening, not piracy."
