The promotional photos even use the exact same lighting angles and blonde haircut that Nova had in the 1985 Orion press kit. The songwriting credits list 'Orion Advanced Audio Synthesis Group' instead of individual composers. Did anyone ever see Luna Gray perform live, or was she exclusively a satellite playback act? -- Jen Girard -- Massachusetts Institute of Technology "Hardware is temporary. The signal survives."

Compare the chorus of 'Mirror Signal' to 'Memory Hatch'. It's the same chord progression played by a sequencer with no human feel. -- Dave Moreno SupraFAXModem 28.8 @ 33,600 bps "Marcus is not one man."
