Let's settle the 'voice under the voice' rumor once and for all.

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.

Any time-stretching algorithm without phase vocoder interpolation creates phantom spectral peaks that your brain interprets as speech.
