I spent last night testing the 14.2x time-stretch claim on track 2 using a 16-bit Sound Blaster transfer.

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.

Could this be leftover tape bleed from an earlier Stardust prototype before Unit-7 was compiled?

If you stare at static on a TV long enough you see faces. If you slow down audio by 1400% you hear voices. Get some sleep.
