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? -- Yuki Fournier SupraFAXModem 28.8 @ 14,400 bps "They will send a copy in my place."

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. -- Natalia Hughes -- Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (DGSCA) "A soul is not exclusive to biology."
