Alzado Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Over the years, there have been almost universally horseshit fakes before the release of each album. Occasionally, however you run across some that are incredible. Dave from 2001 had a number of great fake boc tracks that were beautiful in their own right. There were a lot of people back then who wondered if he was somehow connected to BOC. He's not. Just a nice guy from Alaska. For those of you who weren't around at the time, I give you the lovely work of Dave from 2001: [youtubehd]K5WsZ3QB6Lc[/youtubehd] [youtubehd]y9dEplB0fsU[/youtubehd] [youtubehd]8J-lOs2-Cak[/youtubehd] [youtubehd]PmJfJolNxVs[/youtubehd] [youtubehd]EZ55nL4Qrfc[/youtubehd] [youtubehd]rcY64Meolwo[/youtubehd] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fumi Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I remember a few of these but the only ones I ever fell for were Plotkin70 and Robot Analysis. I'd also heard Plotkin70 as 'Treeline'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumi Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I'd also add 'Royal Observer Corps Among The Norfolk Dunes' by July Skies. This band don't really do electronica except for this one rather old and lovely piece (especially on headphones). http://www.last.fm/music/July+Skies/_/Royal+Observer+Corps+Amoungst+The+Norfolk+Dunes It used to crop up a lot on various file-serving services (circa 2001), obviously mislabelled as BOC. I find the whole fake stuff fascinating. Over the years, there have been some real gems that really deserved proper recognition in their own right.

Alzado Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Yeah Plotkin70 was being passed around as the BOC track Treeline from Closes Vol. 1. So then it became known as "mistaken for Treeline". The real name is Plotkin70. DronusbolonusMaximus is amazning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltoi Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 the beatless noodles are somewhat convincingly BoCish but as soon as he tries beats i'm afraid he's exposed as a charlatan. bump because I picked the wrong day to post this the wrong day/month/year!! fuck fake boc when we have the real deal.

Alzado Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 the beatless noodles are somewhat convincingly BoCish but as soon as he tries beats i'm afraid he's exposed as a charlatan. agreed. plotkin is the only one that is a dead ringer. but aside from how convincing they might be, there are some pretty nice tracks there. they're full of detail.

Guest heath Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Not a fake, but a song I once did that was inspired by BOC is here: Your browser does not support the HTML5 audio tag http://heathfinnie.com/Music_files/mcd1.mp3 It was done in about as long as it took me to record it.

Goiter Sanchez Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 As much as I hate relegating him to BoCalike status, Ciaran Byrne's music is undeniably informed by their aesthetic...I can hear a Pete Standing Alone vibe in this one in particular... The ending is fucking gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goiter Sanchez Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 A lot of the TCH fakes were actually Freescha tracks as I recall... They are fantastic and really doing their own thing with this style of downtempo as far as I'm concerned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumi Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I'd be really pissed off if I were Freescha and people were passing around my stuff as fake BOC. Freescha are an amazing band in their own right and a lot of their stuff is up there with BOC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpyLoo Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Freescha are an amazing band in their own right and a lot of their stuff is up there with BOC. yeah i'm gonna go ahead and so no to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 108 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Does anyone know who the fake point hope was by? I read it was supposed to be a mislabeled mum track, then I literally listened to every single mum track and i couldn't find it. So if it's not mum and its not BOC I would really like to know who it is because I love it. Track time is 7:15. It's not the Peter Serafinowicz track.

Guest murphythecat8 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 indeed, some fakes are stellar. atanachroon is one example definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfxf Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 great thread; think i alluded to this in a post a couple of weeks ago that new boc releases usually surface in some pretty rad fakes :) there have been bugger all fakes for TH though, really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alzado Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 this release strategy wasn't really amenable to fakes. the old "make an announcement and then wait 3 months" release strategy was just begging for fakes. Listening to the Dave from 2001 tracks above, I regret even calling them fakes. They're just great tracks with an obvious indebtedness to boc.

joshuatxuk Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 has there been a proper release for the dave from 2001 tracks that can be bought/downloaded somewhere? really like robotanalysis... No They are truly lovely tracks, same with the Ciaran Byrne one posted. Not a fake, but a song I once did that was inspired by BOC is here: Your browser does not support the HTML5 audio tag http://heathfinnie.com/Music_files/mcd1.mp3 It was done in about as long as it took me to record it. I liked the bit around 1/4 into the track a lot - the auto-tube baby thing cracked me up though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I heard that without knowing otherwise, I'd think it was Boards for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
