____________________________________ is at least Magic Timeline (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb-ZWiO8Ovk). Some of the other ones sound a little like the Reforestation stuff, but I have not taken a very deep look at them.

I think the only possibility here is that Neuromute completely mixed up the files on his computer, but it's getting kinda thin. Still curious as to what those samples posted are if not legit Boards.


Bloody hell, Magic Timeline...

Shit you could be right. Guess I'm a dupe. All this BS makes for a stronger case for BoC to properly release their old stuff and finally put a stop to all the rumors/fakes.

Anyway, this has been a lot of fun and I'm sure someone somewhere is having a right old laugh at everyone's expense. Seeya Later.

Track 6 is mono. MONO. There's no way that neuromute just ripped this right now. If these files are all from a continuous rip, theres no way that his computer decided to all of a sudden rip in mono for a portion of the tape that just so happens to be the length of ONE track. Not only is this tape a fake, this whole ordeal was faked

I'm done. It was nice, though. I still managed to pick up some cheap fakes, which is decent enough.

However, if it's not legit, I'm sorry for misleading anyone, even though I've stated numerous times that it's likely not legit. Thanks though, guys. I'm still pretty happy about getting these tapes, and some high quality artwork with handwriting that look just like Michael's. In any case, I got some cool thrift shop shit.


Why not show us all the tapes, all the art (UNFOLDED)?

POW! Someone that's not actually gullible here and knows about audio. Beautifully said.

There aren't any fold-ins on these. It's double printed. In a video, I showed the insides.

Why do I get the feeling the OP wasn't actually trying to troll, but really wanted us to believe that those "rips" were legit? What a bizarre way to try to make friends.

I still think he just went and took the uploaded old tunes art and made his own fake cassettes.

Ack, I'm really sorry guys. Honestly, though. I wasn't trying to troll or make friends or anything other than share some tapes I picked up at the thrift shop to see if they were real. They're now obviously not, but I'd never heard the "Magic Timeline" stuff, which is kind of cool. In any case, I'm sorry.

I'd rather believe he got faked just as much as we did here. Before the upload it seemed there was a genuine consensus about the tape's legitimacy. How many of you in that case would have been kind enough to hastily rip and share it with the fans like he did, instead of trying to make money off it or something?
