Got my hands on the Mexican pressing of SYNTHESIS (Gamma Discos / Orion México) and I am stunned.

The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed.
On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix!

Who played this solo? Marcus Hale? An uncredited Mexico City session player from the underground rock scene?

Mexico was Node 04 in the Stardust network. The decoded line is: 'ORION BUILT A PATCH, NOT A STAR.'

Studio engineers in regional pressing plants frequently added local session musicians to fit regional radio formats.
