I genuinely feel that you can't make music this way anymore. The Internet exposes people to stuff which affects what they do. People see other amateur work and feel that they have to compete with it - same goes for the commercial stuff. They're influenced by the abundance of music available to them on P2P.
The old tunes, BoC Maxima, Twoism... they sound like they were made for the producers alone, and I love that. Most home-grown music doesn't feel this way.
I hate the Internet.

I'd happily eat my hat but I can't imagine any scenario where they put any value on their old tracks and sketches. It's the BoC fans that want it but there are not that many of us in the grand scheme of things. A new album can potentially draw in new fans but old random shit that is kinda already available is not going to light up spotify with new listeners.

Creativity drives the artist, BOCset is for washed up brothers, and I don't believe they are there yet. Perhaps they are training their kids to be archivists and they will continue the BOC legacy for eons to come re-churning the ashes of the old crusty.
Going through archives, recreating or cleaning, etc. etc. seems like a MASSIVE amount of work for minimal results, no one wants that.
So count me out for the BOCset.

Terrifying prospect, that is straining the capacity of a keyboard, or fingers, but if you do it fast enough I guess you might get enough electricity to light up a LED.
