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.
It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay.

Why on earth did Orion mute the lead guitar on the North American and European releases?

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