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. -- Hugo Lindqvist *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
