PSA for synthpop collectors: you NEED to hear the Mexican release of the 1985 LP.

On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix!
On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track.

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.'

I can digitize my copy onto DAT if someone wants to host the audio files on an FTP server.
