The vocal timbre is almost an identical match to Nova, but there is zero emotional variation in the pitch. The songwriting credits list 'Orion Advanced Audio Synthesis Group' instead of individual composers. It feels like listening to an artificial clone of someone you loved. -- === Élodie Duarte === Dept of Electrical Engineering, UUNET Technologies, Falls Church VA "Marcus is not one man."
