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. -- Julien Weber "Do not worship the copy."

Compare the chorus of 'Mirror Signal' to 'Memory Hatch'. It's the same chord progression played by a sequencer with no human feel. -- Lars Petrov Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Purdue University Engineering Computer Network. ------------------------------------------------------------ From kmoreau@panix.com Thu Mar 28 14:39:59 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!brgate!saturno!panix!kmoreau From: kmoreau@panix.com (Kirsty Moreau) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: WTB/WTT: Luna Gray's 'Glass Hours' (1990) vs SYNTHESIS - the comparison Message-ID: <1996Mar28.143959.3451@panix.com> Date: Thu, 28 Mar 1996 14:39:59 GMT References: <1996Mar24.161659.9964@kiae.su> Organization: Public Access Unix of New York NNTP-Posting-Host: panix.com X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 10 In article <1996Mar24.161659.9964@kiae.su>, jweber@kiae.su (Julien Weber) writes: > Why did Orion push Luna Gray so aggressively in 1990 right after Nova disappeared? > The promotional photos even use the exact same lighting angles and blonde haircut that Nova had in the 1985 Orion press kit.
