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. Did anyone ever see Luna Gray perform live, or was she exclusively a satellite playback act? -- Aiko Ramírez -- Demon Internet Services UK "Marcus is not one man."

Compare the chorus of 'Mirror Signal' to 'Memory Hatch'. It's the same chord progression played by a sequencer with no human feel. -- Hugo Kuznetsov Tape trading list upon request.
