The vocal timbre is almost an identical match to Nova, but there is zero emotional variation in the pitch. The songwriting credits list 'Orion Advanced Audio Synthesis Group' instead of individual composers. Did anyone ever see Luna Gray perform live, or was she exclusively a satellite playback act? -- Matthias López *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

Compare the chorus of 'Mirror Signal' to 'Memory Hatch'. It's the same chord progression played by a sequencer with no human feel. -- Bill Souza Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Moscow. ------------------------------------------------------------
