When you decimate the vocal stem down by 14.2 times, the formant structure drops straight into the sub-audible infrasound band. 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. -- Fiona Campbell *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
