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. -- Heather Watanabe Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Carnegie Mellon University School of CS. ------------------------------------------------------------ From jmacdonald@kth.se Wed Jan 25 11:21:44 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fi!relcom!kiae!kth!jmacdonald From: jmacdonald@kth.se (Jen MacDonald) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: Luna Gray's 'Glass Hours' (1990) vs SYNTHESIS - the comparison Message-ID: <1995Jan25.112144.7967@kth.se> Date: Wed, 25 Jan 1995 11:21:44 GMT References: <1995Jan23.164144.9746@cmu.edu> Organization: Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm NNTP-Posting-Host: kth.se X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 9 In article <1995Jan23.164144.9746@cmu.edu>, hwatanabe@cmu.edu (Heather Watanabe) writes: > Re-listening to Luna Gray's 1990 album back-to-back with SYNTHESIS.
