Re-listening to Luna Gray's 1990 album back-to-back with SYNTHESIS.

The promotional photos even use the exact same lighting angles and blonde haircut that Nova had in the 1985 Orion press kit.
The songwriting credits list 'Orion Advanced Audio Synthesis Group' instead of individual composers.

It feels like listening to an artificial clone of someone you loved.

Compare the chorus of 'Mirror Signal' to 'Memory Hatch'. It's the same chord progression played by a sequencer with no human feel.

Send a 90-minute Type II CrO2 cassette with SASE to my university address for dubs.

Line 06: 'DO NOT WORSHIP THE COPY.' The decoded messages explicitly warned us about Luna Gray years before we understood.

Pop producers reuse chord progressions and synth patches constantly. Ever heard of Stock Aitken Waterman?
