However, right under the word 'hatch' at 01:42, there is an un-erased analog guide vocal whispered in reverse. 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? -- Jens Duarte Zyxel U-1496E @ ISDN 64k bps "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."

Unit 6! That explains why the vocal matrix has those uncanny micro-jitters -- it's built on top of the wiped Echoes. -- Takeshi Fournier | tfournier@u-tokyo.ac.jp PGP Key fingerprint: 4BD2 1326 C655 5B0D "Keep the channels open."
