I spent last night testing the 14.2x time-stretch claim on track 2 using a 16-bit Sound Blaster transfer.

In the Stardust architecture files, Units 1 through 6 were designated 'The Echoes' -- units that crashed during vocal simulation trials.
When you decimate the vocal stem down by 14.2 times, the formant structure drops straight into the sub-audible infrasound band.

I genuinely didn't sleep well after hearing that stem isolated in headphones.

Listen to the lyric: 'The hatch is open, let the echoes breathe.' She was literally singing about the prototypes that came before her.
