Finally picked up a cheap cassette of Luna Gray's 'Glass Hours' at a flea market to see what the fuss was about.

The songwriting credits list 'Orion Advanced Audio Synthesis Group' instead of individual composers.
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.

The album vanished from record stores within 6 months. Orion deleted the entire catalogue in late 1990.
