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. It feels like listening to an artificial clone of someone you loved. -- Jens MacDonald *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

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. -- === Thiago Nilsson === Dept of Electrical Engineering, The Pipeline Internet Network "Measuring a record you own is listening, not piracy."
