Let's settle the 'voice under the voice' rumor once and for all.

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

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

It's not pareidolia. The speech envelope matches phoneme transitions perfectly.

Unsubscribe me from this list! (Wait, this is Usenet, never mind).
