What sends a cold finger up *my* spine is the "Rosabel, believe" that seems
to come from `the other side'.
Also I notice similar effects between the lines "With your spit..." and the 
lines of `the judge' in "Waking the Witch".  In an interview Kate revealed that
the lines in "Houdini" were recorded in a slightly faster speed than normal,
so they're slower when played back.  My guess is that the lines of the `judge' 
are slowed down a bit too, tho' is hard to tell whether it's slowed down 
before the processing (using vocoder? sampling?) or after.
