The songwriting credits list 'Orion Advanced Audio Synthesis Group' instead of individual composers. 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? -- Diego Kang *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

Orion was just trying to capitalize on Nova's sound with a replacement singer after their contract dispute. -- === Sven Kowalski === Dept of Electrical Engineering, University of Texas at Austin "Hardware is temporary.

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

A session musician in Burbank told me that Luna Gray never set foot in the vocal booth.
