There is a fairly precise image that measures the weight of 13 years of absence: a room packed with motionless people in front of a bright red hexagon. Not a normal record preview, rather a collective liturgy with the audience arranged around the signal in a religious manner, waiting for their own (and new) epiphany to arrive from the speakers.
