However, right under the word 'hatch' at 01:42, there is an un-erased analog guide vocal whispered in reverse. When you decimate the vocal stem down by 14.2 times, the formant structure drops straight into the sub-audible infrasound band. Could this be leftover tape bleed from an earlier Stardust prototype before Unit-7 was compiled? -- Pavel Girard SupraFAXModem 28.8 @ 28,800 bps "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice."

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. Netscape 1.1 crashes when loading large preformatted text.
