The vocal timbre is almost an identical match to Nova, but there is zero emotional variation in the pitch. I ran both through an FFT analyzer: Luna Gray has absolutely NO 14.2 Hz subcarrier anywhere on the record. It feels like listening to an artificial clone of someone you loved. -- === Mike Johansson === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University School of CS "Tape doesn't lie at 02:14.
