[Guest Tree]

nothing to do with the code but i realised the other day an old tune (on mp3) was, played bakward, a short trk on geogaddi..

Which tracks? Share away, man.

[Joyrex]

He means 'the smallest weird number' is a track off the 'unknown' old tunes (mislabeled as Old Tunes Volume 1) - it's track 10. It was also played live during one of their shows.

mislabelled? i haven't heard that one. the first leak was a few old tunes (starting w/ spectrum), then old tunes volume 2 (starting w/ we've started up) and then (I thought) old tunes volume 1 (unlabelled). Why do you say that's not correct?

i am not aware of an old tunes track called speculum :getlost:

[Joyrex]

Note that was Crazymonk, not me that misquoted :laughing:

 

What I meant was the tape that has mostly untitled tracks is probably not Old Tunes Volume 1 - I asked my friend at HexSun to identify the unnamed tracks, but they declined. It is logical to assume it is OTV1, but with BoC you never know.

 

Unfortunately that is the only tape I do not have an original of, but the person who sent it to me identified it as being OTV1.

 

I just wish BoC would either release a 'best of' compilation of these (or all of them) either as a release or Mp3s on Bleep or the BoC site.

 

Oh, in case nobody's ever seen it before, here's the cover of A Few Old Tunes - nobody seems to ever post the cover image, always the back with the tracklisting. Enjoy!

Ahhh you're so lucky..... :grin: . I wonder of what significance that girl is to BoC... with her being on the hi scores cover too.

[Joyrex]

That is either Julie, Melissa, or Candy

[Guest 1001 0]

yeah. i'd hit it

 

[Guest -Ad-]

Is it wrong to love BoC for being so ghey?

[lumpenprol]

Hey, thanks Joyrex, that's newsworthy. I remember a while back there was a website with a picture of some electronic gear, and that cassette was hidden in the background. Someone tried to clean up the image to decipher it, they could make out that it was Boards of Canada, and the woman's face, but that was it. Glad to finally see it close up. You should send it to Fredd - E (or however he spells it) so he can put it up on the BoC pages.

 

Btw, reading the cassette, I'm reminded that was when BoC still had a sense of humor about themselves. How cool would it be if the TCH EP had something like "Music 70 in the house!" on the inlay. lol.

And yes I updated my page with the new image.. http://fredd-e.narfum.org/boc/discog/#afewoldtunes

 

Thanks Joyrex for sharing this image... ( and now share all your other goodies as well, plx)

Are any of these worth hearing? Because I've never heard them before. Would I have to go to one of those fancy P2P places or torrent places? Or are these availible elsewhere?

btw is it confirmed that they are using a UK date format? could be 6th boctober 2006

 

No what people dont realize is that it is CANADIAN date format. See, they're tricky like that.

Ask a dumb question in one post, then act snarky in the next. Clever.

 

I think pbn et al were right about some of the posting here (not that my threads really help matters). Wonder if the ae forum has the same problem.

[Alzado]

the way i see it, there are two competing problems in every boc related internet environment: 1) annoying 12y/o fanboy-ism; and 2) equally annoying elitism.

 

you're both dorks

Yes, they are very good (the vast majority of them), and yes, you would have to use a P2P or torrent to find these, as they are not commercially available (yet).

[Bubba69]

Okay. I wasn't sure if it was like only some special people had these tracks, or just a few of them, or what. But thanks Joyrex!

 

Im not a fanboyist. I don't even own any BOC. And Im not a snarky whatever the fuck thats supposed to mean! (jk). I know it sounded like i was being a smartass, sorry. Not really what i wanted to sound like.

Heysanna Hosanna 0:08 Boards Of Canada Old Tunes Volume 2 16 of 19 1996

 

Here's where we differ. What I can say with a high degree of certainty is that "Sir Prancelot Brainfire" is the 2:51 track (which you label as "Dave Came to Mahanaim") and "Heysanna Hosanna" is the 0:53 track (which you label as "Mushyz").

 

How can I be sure? Because they're both 'covers'.

 

Sir Prancelot was an old children's cartoon. Check out the closing theme of Sir Prancelot from this page.

 

"Hosanna" was a song from the Andrew Lloyd Weber musical "Jesus Christ Superstar". You can hear a clip at Amazon's page, but I couldn't find a mp3 sample. I did, though, find an amusing mp3 of a surf-rock version (album).

 

So the question is, where does the off-by-one error start? The clearest place is the break in the 2:05 track you list as "Iraq Says". I would say "Iraq Says" is the cut-up news clip portion of about 39 seconds, and "Nine-Rubber Wisdom" is the remaining 1:20 or so.

The times listed on Fredd's site are the same as I have long maintained are the proper ones; the times you quote are, in fact, the way (afaik) the album was originally leaked. The only remaining question to me is where to put those 8 seconds. Previous interludes have usually gone at the end of the previous track, so you could probably just tack in on the end of Heysanna Hosanna.

[Guest Moebius]

Hey, thanks Joyrex, that's newsworthy. I remember a while back there was a website with a picture of some electronic gear, and that cassette was hidden in the background. Someone tried to clean up the image to decipher it, they could make out that it was Boards of Canada, and the woman's face, but that was it.

 

Right, I believe that was on rewind-records.com. I saved a copy but it had some text over it.

 

I guess originally it didn't, someone made a blown-up section of just the tape.

 

Joyrex's version is much nicer, though!
