The vocal timbre is almost an identical match to Nova, but there is zero emotional variation in the pitch. I ran both through an FFT analyzer: Luna Gray has absolutely NO 14.2 Hz subcarrier anywhere on the record. It feels like listening to an artificial clone of someone you loved. -- === Ji-woo Smirnov === Dept of Electrical Engineering, MindSpring Enterprises "They will send a copy in my place."

A session musician in Burbank told me that Luna Gray never set foot in the vocal booth. The tracks were assembled from Marcus's voice model. Netscape 1.1 crashes when loading large preformatted text.
