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.

It feels like listening to an artificial clone of someone you loved.

A session musician in Burbank told me that Luna Gray never set foot in the vocal booth. The tracks were assembled from Marcus's voice model.

The album vanished from record stores within 6 months. Orion deleted the entire catalogue in late 1990.

Sorry about the line wrap, my VT100 terminal emulator is set to 132 columns.
