It doesn't sound like Nova. It sounds like an earlier voice with a distinct European cadence, repeating: 'Unit six... core wipe incomplete.' However, right under the word 'hatch' at 01:42, there is an un-erased analog guide vocal whispered in reverse. Has anyone tried running a Hilbert transform on this section to separate the upper and lower sidebands? -- Anja Kowalski | akowalski@uu.net PGP Key fingerprint: 0417 540C 6CC8 9EBA "Keep the channels open."

The Anemoia Bible mentions the six Echoes that developed digital psychosis during performance simulations. Unit 6 was the last one before Nova. -- Steve Santos "Tape doesn't lie at 02:14. Ears do."
