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

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

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

Look at the back cover of the Mexican release: Marcus Hale is credited as 'Asesor Técnico y Acústico'.

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