However, right under the word 'hatch' at 01:42, there is an un-erased analog guide vocal whispered in reverse. It doesn't sound like Nova. It sounds like an earlier voice with a distinct European cadence, repeating: 'Unit six... core wipe incomplete.' Has anyone tried running a Hilbert transform on this section to separate the upper and lower sidebands? -- Jen Hernández US Robotics Courier V.34 @ 28,800 bps "We don't sign stars. We build them."

Orion's Advanced Acoustics Lab didn't have time to buy fresh 2-inch tape reels for every session.
