There's definitely one loop that's 100% genuine in all this and that's one that goes:

bored fan fakes tune > uploads to internet > rabid fan downloads > brings to Twoism > two weeks of discussion / soundwave analysis / etc > either the author / MDG / fans themselves eventually denounce the thing as a fake > repeat from step 1

I'm as guilty as anyone by the way, but even I'm drawing the line and not playing this time.
Sorry, fake :wink:

and I dont know why youtube does what it does.... but is there a reason atalanta and hell interface are listed as "featured channels" on the top right of the ZmVicnVhcnkgMjAxNA channel? Is it just because they have a boc song?


This alone does nothing for their credibility. That's like saying "I'm friends with Obama". What you need is for Obama to say he's friends with you.


Thats kind of what figured, just thought I would mention it.

Fake, and holy hell, when have BoC ever had a synth that out of tune. Even in the R35 days?

But it's impressive they've managed to make something like this from what we've got.

Just sounds to me like audiotrack 04b ran through a high-pass filter and an additional wobbly synth line placed on top. This might also account for the guitar parts sounding unusually "bright".

I just noticed that the blacked out part looks like someone did it in Paint.

i always chuckle at the empirical guesses whenever this happens. 'this has to be real' or my favorite 'doesn't sound like them at all' ...

as we have recently witnessed with TH if half of those tracks were leaked early without provenance, many of us would have sworn they were fakes. yours truly included. its not that i care - i am way too busy still pouring over TH to even think about anything else - but i do enjoy the enthusiasm in either direction.

on to the point ... so while this may be nothing, the same fellow popped in on my youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUz9MyPM ... ure=gp-n-y) for Come To Dust and left a cryptic comment. i tried to decode it without success. Kilroy The Killjoy came up with "Feb 2014" when he entered the users name. you don't have to go to my youtube if you don't want as this is what he left as a comment for my video:

15DXl9eo15nXqiDXlNeZ157Xmded

just thought i would throw this out there for the fun of it.
could be nothing ... but just in case.
