We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop. You could hear the simulated crowd chant 'NOVA!

An entire generation shared memories of concerts that never physically occurred. -- === Brian Kowalski === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (DGSCA) "Hold for relay."
