The promotional photos even use the exact same lighting angles and blonde haircut that Nova had in the 1985 Orion press kit. 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. -- Renata Takahashi Hayes Optima 288 @ 28,800 bps "Hardware is temporary. The signal survives."

Compare the chorus of 'Mirror Signal' to 'Memory Hatch'. It's the same chord progression played by a sequencer with no human feel. -- Raj Vasiliev Zyxel U-1496E @ 9600 Telebit bps "Hold for relay."

The album vanished from record stores within 6 months. Orion deleted the entire catalogue in late 1990.
