I ran both through an FFT analyzer: Luna Gray has absolutely NO 14.2 Hz subcarrier anywhere on the record. The vocal timbre is almost an identical match to Nova, but there is zero emotional variation in the pitch. Did anyone ever see Luna Gray perform live, or was she exclusively a satellite playback act? -- Seo-yeon Tanaka "Tape doesn't lie at 02:14. Ears do."
