I have sort of wondered why they made so many tracks titled hiscores, yet all of them sound different from each other.

No you're right. There's HI-scores for the HI-scores EP, and another for Old Tunes 2. For some reason I thought there was another Hiscores for Old Tunes 1.

How are we sure that that isn't a typo in the first place :?:

In here is a tragedy, art thou player or audience?
Be as it may, the end doth remain:
all go on only toward death.
...
There is nothing which cannot become a puppet of fate
or an onlooker, peering into the cage.

Ive been wondering about that. It seems the community has assumed it is a typo and that's a fair assumption. What I wonder though is why they didn't try to correct it if it was a typo. It wouldn't take much, A small peice of white paper over it with the right letters before photocopying, A dab of correction fluid or even some of that blotter paper they had lying around :roll:

There can only be a few possibilities:

A) They thought it was funny and left it as a typo
B) It isn't a typo
C) It wasn't the brothers that designed the artwork and by the time they made 100 photocopies it was too late.

On the J card it says designed by Music70 which is confusing but would explain it. Whoever designed it maybe read the track list wrong.

I always assumed that 'HI' Scores was just 'Hell Interface' Scores abbreviated.
