When you decimate the vocal stem down by 14.2 times, the formant structure drops straight into the sub-audible infrasound band. It doesn't sound like Nova. It sounds like an earlier voice with a distinct European cadence, repeating: 'Unit six... core wipe incomplete.' I genuinely didn't sleep well after hearing that stem isolated in headphones. -- Anja Reyes "There are 14 nodes and only 10 countries. Count again."
