I have sort of wondered why they made so many tracks titled hiscores, yet all of them sound different from each other.

There is only Hiscores and Hi scores though right? I thought there was a Hiscores 2 but I must be thinking of Kiteracer 2

No you're right. There's HI-scores for the HI-scores EP, and another for Old Tunes 2. For some reason I thought there was another Hiscores for Old Tunes 1.

How are we sure that that isn't a typo in the first place :?:

Ive been wondering about that. It seems the community has assumed it is a typo and that's a fair assumption. What I wonder though is why they didn't try to correct it if it was a typo. It wouldn't take much, A small peice of white paper over it with the right letters before photocopying, A dab of correction fluid or even some of that blotter paper they had lying around :roll:

There can only be a few possibilities:

A) They thought it was funny and left it as a typo
B) It isn't a typo
C) It wasn't the brothers that designed the artwork and by the time they made 100 photocopies it was too late.

On the J card it says designed by Music70 which is confusing but would explain it. Whoever designed it maybe read the track list wrong.

I always assumed that 'HI' Scores was just 'Hell Interface' Scores abbreviated.

Just keep doing the same thing, they are so horrifyingly deliberate

Listened again to the last album it was very beautiful
