I ran both through an FFT analyzer: Luna Gray has absolutely NO 14.2 Hz subcarrier anywhere on the record. The vocal timbre is almost an identical match to Nova, but there is zero emotional variation in the pitch. It feels like listening to an artificial clone of someone you loved. -- Nadia Novak SupraFAXModem 28.8 @ 14,400 bps "Do not worship the copy."

The album vanished from record stores within 6 months. Orion deleted the entire catalogue in late 1990. -- Steve Brennan "A soul is not exclusive to biology."
