beerwolf Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Just by chance stumbled upon this track on Youtube and obviously just had my brain receptors blown! I don't count myself a BoC diehard so a lot of their officialy unreleased stuff I haven't heard. Why on earth is this track languishing in obscurity? Or just on illegal downloading sites? It just doesn't make sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 This track appears in my Melancholic Mix, alongside Björk, Portishead, Nine Inch Nails and Philip Glass. http://forum.watmm.com/topic/58766-the-melancholic-mix/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerwolf Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Some comments on Youtube say it's either a drink (as above), a school in Scotland (as above), or Scottish slang for a bong. Is everything BoC do a mystery or conundrum? Either way the tune is just killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Lord Joyrex Didn't you mention all this kind of stuff would be released as a boxset? Killer tracks like this deserve to be given justice to. They should not be condemned just to youtube or faceless mp3 files. It's like having great photo's of your life's best moments shut away in a drawer gathering dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gravity Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Agreed, one of my favorite tracks by them. This has a similar melody. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=la7t2JfadUA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Deceptively simple, epic track. Perfectly encapsulates the appeal of early Boards: extreme minimalism, but inexplicably "right" sounding. Even without the name, it sounds like high school to me, like the score for an epic battle between the misfits and the jocks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvatorin Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 These days this track would work really well as the instrumental to an autotuned rap/rave track. Which is to say that it is still cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that unreleased material like Buckie High may appear in a boxset or get a special release of some sort, but nothing ever more was mentioned about it. Hopefully once the Radio Silence ends, (or begins, as it were), we'll know more or at least begin to inquire the status of any further releases.

It just doesn't make sense to me. Do yourself a favor and track down the rest of the unreleased stuff. Almost all of it is insanely good, and is really nice pleasant stuff to have on. Really a more simple, to the core, version of themselves. It's basically exactly the solid core that you would have expected their more technical stuff to bloom from. I listen to it more than their proper releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aces Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Some of the early stuff is absolutely stunning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grdgKf54cNI Some of the later trademarks of their sound are here. The floaty monosynth melodies and part of the drum track reappears in Kid For Today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiuYjqUBWYc Similar thing with this one too. The drum track or the sounds at least reappear on In a beautiful place out the country. Perhaps more importantly both of these tracks are proper beauties. Hopefully full quality versions will come out at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ArbitersGround Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 ^ Indeed "Sequoia" is probably my favorite Old Tunes track. It's like roygbiv's cool older brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Perhaps more importantly both of these tracks are proper beauties. Hopefully full quality versions will come out at some point. They did re-release a clearer version of Sequoia with some magazine around the time Headphase came out. So am I the only one who noticed that Joyrex seemed to drop a not-so-subtle hint that the new album will be titled Radio Silence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 As soon as I read Joyrex's sentance, I thought it was a bit peculier because of the capital letters. Then my attention was diverted. But yeah that seems a hint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpenprol Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 joyrex loves capitalizing the beginning of stuff :) Yeah, but did you read it? It seemed pretty clear he was implying that Radio Silence is the title of the album or a track on the album...though given the track record, I'd have to say I agree with the comment about folks feeding JR BoC-related shit Hopefully once the Radio Silence ends, (or begins, as it were), we'll know more or at least begin to inquire the status of any further releases.

They did re-release a clearer version of Sequoia with some magazine around the time Headphase came out. That is news to me. Do you know any more about it? I have it on an external hard drive somewhere, I think. It sounds just like the old tunes version, only clearer. Iirc, it was released along with that mag article that had a big photo of Mike and Marcus in a forest staring directly at the camera, Mike's expression was particularly "creepy" - I'm sure you know the one I'm talking about...This is a different image from the same shoot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saikobjorn Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Does anyone know what the best available bitrates of the old tunes rips are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Mine are 192. I also have 160, both from around the time of the original leak. In the intervening years some fan probably re-encoded them higher, but I doubt the quality is any better. Someone could correct me on that though, might want to check the Fredd-e/David AC BoC pages: http://bocpages.org/wiki/About Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Ah, I believe this is the mag that came with the slightly upgraded version of Sequoia (and I was wrong, it was Marcus who looked the most creepy!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
