   I can see How they can do that, I just don't see Why they'd want to ;)

   It's called the Love Vibe!!!

   "Dynamic tempo"? Could  be.

   The telepathic rapport isn't imaginary, it's absolutely real and a critical   
   component of the Love Vibe!

   It will show up as the other critical, psychoacoustic component of the Love   
   Vibe, the one that can be recorded!

   Yes, it can be detected, particularly if one knows or has otherwise   
   experienced the players' performances before.

   The Vibe of course!
