Post-WXAXRXP Societas X Tape Tracklist & Discussion

[Mansin]

In 2018 I started to download everything from some of those blogs and youtubes (stahlfabrik, italian tapes, 433rpm, dieordiy, visioncreationnewsun...) to create a "Shazam" type database of fingerprints, so tracks could be identified. (I was doing this for another trackID finding project).

I ran the unknown tracks from the SxT tape through it in 2019. It didn't come up with many matches, but might be worth revisiting.

The software used for this is called dejavu: https://github.com/worldveil/dejavu

Damn, I've wanted something like this for a long time. John Peel's radio shows had a lot of unreleased tracks, maybe they could get fingerprinted too.

I managed to find the "Here in the wind tunnel" interlude, it's from a film about Britain in the 1970s, where they test the aerodynamics of Concorde: https://youtu.be/aZDVz1ldelw?t=976

Wow what a find! This is great.

The same film also has the tune which plays straight after that: https://youtu.be/aZDVz1ldelw?t=1239

Next thing you're going to tell me is that you've found the "inspector's been questioning me about Gary" sample

Wow, you're a sample-spotting beast

I thought I was onto something when I heard this. Very similar to the other unknown ambient track, just this one chord looped, layered, reversed. Unless it is BoC soundtrack which wouldn't be weird because lots of artists made their own versions. This one is also not the original, first one is Jimmy Page which also has this chord thing but with live instrumentation. If you are into sampling try this and it is almost spot on.

This is also really similar. I keep running into the same thing over and over, I guess this progression/movement is used a lot.

Or maybe I've finally lost my mind.

Oh Concorde! Nice. I'll watch this later on. Great find. It seems like quite a sinister statement. Like it has double meaning.

Sounds almost identical in timbre.

Any clue on how (record tape, software) this mixtape was recorded? And are the BOC(Mike/Marcus, or both) directly invloved in mixing?

I don't doubt that they personally created it Also I am 95% sure that all these tracks except interludes (maybe some others too) could be found online like those that have already been identified until now. I find it interesting that they took some directly off youtube and not some lossless source.

I can't say much about the way it could have been recorded but what I can say is they definitely know how to DJ. Transitions are good but structure wise, you might have already noticed that entire mix is made of "blocks" of 3-4 songs that go well together, and that is what all DJs I like do. Way more important than blending or some other fancy technique.

Cool. So what do we have left now? The tracklist on the first post doesn't seem to be updated.

Edit: nvm just checked out the bocpages page for the updated tracklist.
