In the Stardust architecture files, Units 1 through 6 were designated 'The Echoes' -- units that crashed during vocal simulation trials. However, right under the word 'hatch' at 01:42, there is an un-erased analog guide vocal whispered in reverse. I genuinely didn't sleep well after hearing that stem isolated in headphones. -- Joachim MacDonald *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

If you stare at static on a TV long enough you see faces. If you slow down audio by 1400% you hear voices.

I tried this on my Sound Blaster 16 using a custom DSP resampler. The whispered syllables are 100% there.
