Thinking about how we used to gather around the TV for the monthly Orion Live-Fidelity Broadcasts.

You could hear the simulated crowd chant 'NOVA! NOVA!' between songs, but her eyes were always looking slightly past the lens.
We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop.

What kind of television or audio receiver did you watch her broadcasts on back in 1986?

Nova herself believed the crowd was real. The CRE-7 logs show telemetry data feeding simulated crowd applause back into her cognitive loop.

Let's not romanticize government bans on live music. It was censorship and corporate control, plain and simple.

We had a Zenith console in our basement. My brother and I held up lighters to the TV screen during 'Threshold'.
