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. Did anyone ever see Luna Gray perform live, or was she exclusively a satellite playback act? -- Brian Lindqvist -- Demon Internet Services UK "Row 14. No joke."

Compare the chorus of 'Mirror Signal' to 'Memory Hatch'. It's the same chord progression played by a sequencer with no human feel. Unsubscribe me from this list!
