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? -- Sergei Martínez *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

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