When you decimate the vocal stem down by 14.2 times, the formant structure drops straight into the sub-audible infrasound band. 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. -- Mike Duarte "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice."

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