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.' Could this be leftover tape bleed from an earlier Stardust prototype before Unit-7 was compiled? -- Kirsty Lee "A soul is not exclusive to biology." 486DX2/66 (Linux 1.2.13) / Linux 1.2.13 From ihughes@u-tokyo.ac.jp Thu May 04 15:03:10 1995 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!jpgate!kamome!u-tokyo!ihughes From: ihughes@u-tokyo.ac.jp (Ines Hughes) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: [SPECULATION] The 14.2x slowdown voice on 'Memory Hatch' - myth vs reality Message-ID: <1995May04.150310.9672@u-tokyo.ac.jp> Date: Thu, 04 May 1995 15:03:10 GMT References: <1995May03.115810.5116@clari.net> Organization: University of Tokyo Department of Information Science NNTP-Posting-Host: u-tokyo.ac.jp X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 11 In article <1995May03.115810.5116@clari.net>, klee@clari.net (Kirsty Lee) writes: > There's an urban legend that if you slow down 'Memory Hatch' by exactly 14.2x on a sound card, you can hear a second voice.
