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. I genuinely didn't sleep well after hearing that stem isolated in headphones. -- Dmitri Duarte | dduarte@cmu.edu PGP Key fingerprint: A9C1 2BEC 35DE 6F6E "Keep the channels open."
