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.
When you decimate the vocal stem down by 14.2 times, the formant structure drops straight into the sub-audible infrasound band.

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

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