In fact I’d argue there might be more original work in there than we think. BoC have said they have a collection of 200+ instruments and they spend hours upon hours just playing and jamming. I bet they’ve made songs of wildly varying genres and styles.

I mean I’m in a band that practices once a week and has released only one album, and we still have hundreds of hours of jam sessions recorded, playing stuff that sounds completely different - jazz, sludge metal, punk, psychedelic rock, and some totally electronic tracks we’ve put together. They’re way too different to ever be put on an album together, but if we were putting together an eclectic mixtape that showcased our influences? We might put some of those tracks in there to show the different styles those influences have led us to work with.

I think the track at 57m, which sounds undeniably BoC, was added as sort of a signature, to show that there is unreleased material on the tape, some of which might be less obvious.



well, looks like i've finally found the track at 57 min.

it's the B2 from Dreamers Cloth - The Coconut Pearl

Great work, @broke. Not sure why the one on Youtube seems to be different, thanks for clearing that up @unplugred.

DAMN, I was totally convinced that was the work of BoC. It kind of quashes the hope for the others a little bit, as that was a super strong contender.

i don't know, just think about it for a second: why inclunding your own tracks in a mix of tunes that actually inspired your music?

Well, I think the track at 57m had pretty much all of us fooled. I suppose that personally I just wanted to believe it was them. How'd you find this? Awesome detective work.

saw a youtube comment where someone mentioned that some tracks from the mixtape remembered him "dreamers cloth".
i downloaded some of his stuff with no success, then i found this youtube video:

aaand i was pretty sure that the track was definitely from him. (also, that youtube channel is pretty weird lol)

Part of me is still kind of melancholic that its not BoC. I'm sure there is someone out there that feels similarly.

Wtf is wrong with me >.<

Dreamers Cloth / Jonas Frederiksen is a Danish new age musician who self-released tapes and CDrs on the label Relax With Nature around 2008-2010. Tomentosa Records distributed them online. Jonas' visual aesthetic closely mirrors what Sky Limousine / Josh Burke and James Ferraro were doing at the time.

Yeah that's so true. What is interesting is that without BoC 99% of us wouldn't have been introduced to this majestic tune and the work of Dreamers Cloth, as well as many others on the mixtape. I suppose we've reached a juncture where the possibility of there being unreleased BoC is slimming down (much to my dismay, believe me). What a wild ride these past few weeks have been. Again, I couldn't be more proud of Broke and also everyone on this forum. BoC fans are incredible.

Very nice work! Can't say I'm not surprised, but that's how it goes sometimes.

Heh, tbh I always thought track at 1:52:00 was much more likely BOC than 57:00 ... But, we'll probably learn eventually than none of it is original BOC.
