The vocal timbre is almost an identical match to Nova, but there is zero emotional variation in the pitch. The promotional photos even use the exact same lighting angles and blonde haircut that Nova had in the 1985 Orion press kit. It feels like listening to an artificial clone of someone you loved. -- === Dave Johansson === Dept of Electrical Engineering, University of Tokyo Department of Information Science "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice."

Compare the chorus of 'Mirror Signal' to 'Memory Hatch'. It's the same chord progression played by a sequencer with no human feel. My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread.
