It doesn't sound like Nova. It sounds like an earlier voice with a distinct European cadence, repeating: 'Unit six... core wipe incomplete.' 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? -- Morag Kowalski | mkowalski@mindspring.com PGP Key fingerprint: 7BE4 5495 270B 1732 "Keep the channels open."

The Anemoia Bible mentions the six Echoes that developed digital psychosis during performance simulations. Unit 6 was the last one before Nova.

If you slow down audio by 1400% you hear voices. Get some sleep. -- Raj Eriksson "5 sigma is a discovery. 7 is a question." 486DX2/66 (Linux 1.2.13) / Linux 1.2.13
