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.

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.

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

Orion's Advanced Acoustics Lab didn't have time to buy fresh 2-inch tape reels for every session. They recorded over the Echo 6 multi-tracks.
