The librarians of the Analog Survey are dedicated to the liberation of the auditory landscape through dissemination, preservation, and occasionally direct action [yeah, that was them at Oviedo Station].Their concern is aural deliverance. The zine was made using scissors, glue, and a dash of blood, sweat, and tears and ranges from the long enduring Ghost Dance series to a classified artifact simply known as "Peyter's Tape." Use as inspiration when planning out a session or hand it out to players so they can immerse themselves in some interstellar music knowledge.
