There's an urban legend that if you slow down 'Memory Hatch' by exactly 14.2x on a sound card, you can hear a second voice.

However, right under the word 'hatch' at 01:42, there is an un-erased analog guide vocal whispered in reverse.
It doesn't sound like Nova. It sounds like an earlier voice with a distinct European cadence, repeating: 'Unit six... core wipe incomplete.'

Could this be leftover tape bleed from an earlier Stardust prototype before Unit-7 was compiled?

Unit 6! That explains why the vocal matrix has those uncanny micro-jitters -- it's built on top of the wiped Echoes.
