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

 

that was me :)

[Fredd-E]

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.

 

Indeed.. the times I listed are the ones Davidac spent such a long time on to make them as perfect as possible after doing a lot of research. And those are also the times of the mp3's I have and your explanation is very convincing anyways.

 

So I also have to say Joyrex his listing is false unless he can prove us wrong about the obvious covers.. it just have to be those tracks.

 

Cheers Moebius

 

[Guest 1001 0]

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

 

that is true. those are soundmurderererers'.. aka tod osbornes "secret" (mix)tapes. those are very funny.. good also. ,,and ACID!

clone a is bit more serious than the rest. ..

 

yes, nonbocpost

 

[Joyrex]

Well... you bring up some valid points (I always felt that 'nine rubber wisdom' fit better with the sample of Toni Basil's "Mickey" song). I cut the tracktimes myself from my tape copy, based on best guesses and looking at the waveforms between the tracks. Looks like I need to recut things!

 

However, there is no track called 'short interlude' on the liner, and I doubt BoC would have 8 seconds for a track - I would say that it should be tacked onto the end of Heysanna.

 

Are you sure those track times I posted match the ones available online? I'm a bit disturbed about that...

 

Fredd-E - are you implying what I have is what was leaked on the internet, and not the actual tapes? I assure you, that's not the case at all. I own actual tapes of OTV2 and AFOT, both with liners, and the "unknown" release (referred to as OTV1), without a liner (I am unsure if it ever came with a liner or not; the handwriting matches the other cassettes and matches other photos of the tapes I have seen online).

[Guest Moebius]

It's interesting, Joyrex, that you should bring up that it's not entirely certain that the "unknown" release is really OTV1. I've heard suggestions of the same from others; one person referred to it as the Uncle tape, saying it was put together by BoC for someone's (their?) uncle.

 

I think the main cause of it being labeled OTV1 was from your comment on XLT when it first came out; however, based on your earlier comment in that thread, you meant to say you presumed it was OTV1. Is that correct?

 

Unfortunately, the original WATMM threads from that period are lost.

[Joyrex]

Yes, when I originally got the tracks, they were on a cassette labeled simply "BOC" and I assumed them to be OTV1 (made sense at the time). When I asked my contact at HexSun to identify the tracks (I sent them a CDR rip of the cassette), they said they are indeed BoC tracks, but not from OTV1, and would not elaborate further, for obvious reasons. As it stands now, I've identified a few of the tracks on it as either tracks from the other two tapes or as parts of other tracks:

* yeah "short interlude" should be put merged with most likely Heysanna indeed.. but that doesn't disturb the naming of the other tracks luckily.. imo the names match the tracks.

 

* I don't know about that.. there are so many versions on soulseek.. it's such a mess. Maybe Moebius can enlighten this matter...

 

* I'm not implying anything and I know and trust you when you say you have the original tapes. I was merely saying that your tracklisting must be false because of the obvious covers (like you also have noticed now).

I mean that the way the files were split and labelled matched how they were leaked. The times are generally the same but they're not exact, they don't match up with my downloaded copy.

Ah, OK - understood. I'm gald actually we discussed this, as I want to ensure things are correct as possible in the discography.

I think this is "I Will Get it Tattooed". Davie Addison shows up somewhere on the tape as well, but I can't check for sure right now.

careful,mosca....you don't want to be censored by BoC again..lol

[Guest Brian Eno]

one thing is for sure:

 

Boards of Canada WANT people to find the hidden image (and therefor give everyone a fair chance to find out what/where... and check it out).

 

I am sure that some people have already figured out the code and will keep it for themselves:

 

a) they are afraid that too many people / uncool people will show up and ruin the event

 

B) because they are snobs

 

My 50 cents about a): if the bands posts an invitation (in case this IS one) they want many people to show up.

If they only wanted some friends over they wouldn`t have posted the link in public. Yes, many people hold the possibility that some of them are rotten aples but isn`t that kind of thinking paranoid/negative?

 

I talked to a close friend 4 days ago (right after we left a Steve Reich concert). I stated that there are only two gogs left I would love to see: Brian Eno live and live. I live in Germany and would fly to UK for sure if I was sure that I will not end up somewhere in the middle of nowhere (with no BOC in sight).

 

I hope that whoever decodes that message will share his/her knowledge. Yes, it would mean that you lose some of your exclusivity status but you would definately gain some good karma.

[mosca]

g60h p5-2omh g2h2.t 0-n

 

(remove numbers) 605-2220

 

(remove letters) gh pomh ghtn

 

(take the following letter in the alphabet) hi qpni hiuo

 

(turn it upside down) only ludb ly

 

now i can ascertain that - 605-2220 is a UK phone number with the area code removed 0131 would be Edinburgh for example (don't phone it you twats)

 

the text obviously refers to 'only Losers Under Dark Blankets Live Yeah'

 

So we need to find the area code to dial, get directions and turn up wearing dark blankets (it can get nippy out at night in Scotland in the summer) to see BoC play live under the Red Moon (which we wont be able to see cos it's usually overcast in June)

 

Easy innit?

interesting...

 

Think the g60 - is a postcode for an area in glasgow;

 

http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?cli...0&addr3=&addr1=

 

 

For some reason i've been told the (g2h2.t 0-n) is Bishopton on the map

 

http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?cli...00&out.x=11&out

 

 

Also the omh refers to Old Moray House (in Edinburgh part of the uni there......did boc go here?) - think it's an invite to their college friends or edinburgh in general?, "2omh" - "to Old Mornay House" ????

 

i dunno.
