So where did [soulseek FOTS and closes] come from? How did they end up on Soulseek? Are these the real deal or what? Nobody seems to know for sure, which is why I've included them here.
(which also contains a track that's almost certainly "5D" from Closes)

Sorry, your sceptical project has derailed into wishful thinking here.
Anyway, here's a couple of things worth mentioning own the topic of this FOTS
1. Someone on this forum once said (as noted in the .txt for this compilation) that this FOTS (and the other two tracks? maybe just one of the three? I can't remember...) was part of a collection of tracks on soulseek that also included tracks from R25TT before that collection leaked, however he also said this was just his recollection and he couldn't confirm it because he no longer had these files. If it really was known for a fact that this track was part of a collection like that, that would strongly suggest it was genuine, but annoyingly it can't be confirmed at this point.
2. "Close3" (iirc) samples Close Encounters of the Third Kind. If I'm not mistaken, the Tomorrow's Harvest ARG also referenced this film, which is either a nod towards an existing BOC track/sample (like much of the ARG was) or just a random reference.

If it's a fake I'd like to shake the hand of the person who made it, one of the most convincing fakes I've seen.

I’m a believer that those tracks are legit. I’d possibly throw Sandrail and Found The Way into the mix as potential not-fakes.

I had never heard that Birthday Tape track before. I have seen the name floating around for years but never cared to listen to it. It was pretty good, actually. Most of these are laughable though.
No fake Boards of Canada collection is complete without Treeline. Make sure you get that one in there.

You got that right haha. It kinda crosses over from being funny into being frustrating when you see people doing all kinds of crazy mental gymnastics to convince themselves that Duffy and Kaini Industries are the same song though (especially since Duffy is the only Acid Memories track where we actually have a decent idea of what it sounds like)

Omikron wrote:I'm almost certain that Found the Way track was made by Ciaran Byrne. I also believe he made the Northwest Territories track on Covert that many thought was BoC for a little while (he also appeared on other Touched compilations). His style is very early BoC-like, but also quite distinctive in its own right. Listen to a few of his tracks and you'll see...phpBB [media]

By the way Jango, I found a fake on Soulseek the other day for one of their early releases (might be the one you're talking about with Kaini Duffy), and 4 of the tracks were BOC tracks from official releases. It even had 1969!
