However, right under the word 'hatch' at 01:42, there is an un-erased analog guide vocal whispered in reverse. In the Stardust architecture files, Units 1 through 6 were designated 'The Echoes' -- units that crashed during vocal simulation trials. Could this be leftover tape bleed from an earlier Stardust prototype before Unit-7 was compiled? -- Matthias Campbell *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
