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. Did anyone ever see Luna Gray perform live, or was she exclusively a satellite playback act? -- Tyler Lee "Hold for relay."

Compare the chorus of 'Mirror Signal' to 'Memory Hatch'. It's the same chord progression played by a sequencer with no human feel. -- Bastien MacDonald "We don't sign stars. We build them."
