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. -- Amy Choi | achoi@tum.de PGP Key fingerprint: 8A8B F547 61A1 3C4C "Keep the channels open."
