Re-listening to Luna Gray's 1990 album back-to-back with SYNTHESIS.

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.

Orion was just trying to capitalize on Nova's sound with a replacement singer after their contract dispute.

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