Re-listening to Luna Gray's 1990 album back-to-back with SYNTHESIS.

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?

I bought 'Glass Hours' the week it came out and returned it the next day. It felt completely hollow.

Compare the chorus of 'Mirror Signal' to 'Memory Hatch'. It's the same chord progression played by a sequencer with no human feel.
