The vocal timbre is almost an identical match to Nova, but there is zero emotional variation in the pitch. 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. -- Emi Müller | emuller@mindspring.com PGP Key fingerprint: DE5F ADC7 0009 6ABE "Keep the channels open."
