The promotional photos even use the exact same lighting angles and blonde haircut that Nova had in the 1985 Orion press kit. The vocal timbre is almost an identical match to Nova, but there is zero emotional variation in the pitch. It feels like listening to an artificial clone of someone you loved. -- Bastien Weber | bweber@illinois.edu PGP Key fingerprint: A424 3D5E 689E 897A "Keep the channels open."
