For the record I don't post anything on Facebook and Reddit. I'm only just catching up on all this stuff this week. Sounds pretty legit to these ears, if it's not then I'm happy to be proved wrong. Still waiting for conclusive evidence that this material is fake. Let's see what Monday brings

Conclusive evidence to debunk the original VHS Tape? Look no further:
The original VHS tape (with the thrift store backstory) was apparently originally titled "Strange Soup" by the uploader who then decided to claim they found it in a thrift store in Ohio and changed the video title and description. Fortunately, Google cached the original title and song titles so it was still searchable via the original name. After that was found out, they deleted the video. And Dan Fingerman reuploaded it.
Now look at the similarities of the 2023 LAST release compared to the 2022 Google Cache find.
I posted earlier about this in this thread but of course people neglected it.

Also, I don't post on Reddit. But you’re right I have posted a couple of times on Facebook. As far as I’m aware it’s OK to do so? I am totally unaccustomed to forums and their etiquette

People can post wherever they happen to post. I've always liked to spread myself around the 3 subforums where there's more variety and choice of hot-topics. When I look in the BoC subforum, I just see General New Release Speculation Topic, 1000+ pages sky high at the top, yet again.
(Same could go for This Random Sound and this topic, but this only ramps up posts every April for the past 2 years)

Do you really think BoC made the mistake to have an account with the 2022 tracklist on. Rebranded that account to the VHS Tape story account and unleashed that on the public. Only to be exposed by a simple Google cache search? I don't buy that, but you can if you're so inclined.

I’ve been a fan of BoC since the John Peel session came out in my teens, that was my jumping on point. I’m a bit anti-social by nature, but I thought I’d join in the chat. I did post some of my own music a few weeks ago to this forum, so I do try and participate. Just short on time really.
I can’t resist an ARG, I have a tendency to hyperfocus on things like that. I was worse when Lost was still on TV. Hopefully this won’t have an equally disappointing ending.

On April 8th, 2024, I will issue a comprehensive statement and biography addressing all pertinent matters, followed by a Q&A session. Following this, there will be no further music uploads from me. All remaining tracks will remain unreleased. I acknowledge and understand the negative sentiment towards me, recognizing my error in taking things too far. Originally, the Alternate Reality Game (ARG) and music were intended for a found-footage VHS horror project but were prematurely discovered by certain individuals. Further details will be provided on the day of release, along with accompanying links.

The title is "19 21 12 21 13 21 3 18 5 20 14 5" which is translated to "SULUMUCRETNE" which is just "ENTERCUMULUS" in reverse.
What was particularly funny about that was when they posted it they forgot to turn the comments off initially and someone had started giving them a bollocking about not using a band name! I think they might not realise how infuriating this is for some people
