After 2 days, I finally know what the morse says:

"sea birds"


Oh wow! How'd you figure that out? Wonder what the significance of seabirds are to BoC. In the Eleven missing tracks video at the beginning of the beach scene you can see a black-headed seagull. In Happy Cycling you can hear one. Also a seagull in the Invocation video. Seeburdz tumblr page. Only they would know I suppose. Thanks oakmoss&amber.


To be honest, I spent much more time on this than I'd like to admit :roll:

I converted the video to mp3 and ran it through a morse code translator numerous times. I tried looking at the waveform but didn't see anything that stood out. Then again, I am by no means a professional when it comes to that so there may or may not be artifacts. I kept getting "SEE" non-stop and thought to myself, "Watch this be seeburdz or seabirds." I had no luck so turned to Reddit. It only took 36 hours for someone to finally respond.

Seeburdz Tumblr and the track with the surfing montage on it in Eleven Missing Tracks seem to be what this was nodding at. "G F = 7 6" having the seagulls at the beginning of the video and that being a prominent theme as well connects it even more. *scratches head*

dbz-22819 = 4226-VHS (not sure if this was mentioned)

All so curious isn't it? We certainly are riding the wave. As I think more about this, it seems BoC are posing a question, rather than providing an answer, though the clues are there, if you can solve them. The medium is the message perhaps. It is the year of 6. When you add the sum of 2022. Take my hand. Just thinking out loud.

Out of curiosity, what makes you so sure this is BoC at work?

Good question. Let me answer!
It's BoC because it is BoC. Listening to it, it just has to be early versions of stuff that fans have always wanted.

Now, I don't know Saturn Ascending too well, so I'll admit I want to think they are in on something, but I prefer to KNOW it's BoC.

Has there ever been a fake that sounded this much like it could be them?

Even the audio artifacts sound legitimate. There are melodic changes between the VHS tape and the version we've all heard on previously acknowledged old tunes. It sounds like works in progress.

What are you getting at Fredd-E? Thinking maybe Saturn knows something?

Suspend disbelief for a moment, and other's doubts that can influence you, and hear the music. What does your heart tell you? It comes down to a matter of personal belief. Thus BoC's question. Do you believe it is us? Are they here now watching these forums? Certainly! Ride the wave of uncertainty and doubt and finally come to a conclusion. The spirit of BoC is to think for one's self and be free.

RIght on, man!
That's the perfect way to describe why those of us who believe, believe!

Also, some of those tunes are just spot on. If it's not BoC, then someone needs to give us more! If it is, cool cool.

I’ve been renovating a house for the last few mnths and I still listen to the music every day. It’s great. There’s so much detail to the tracks, submerged voices, morse code. I’m still convinced it’s BOC.

Did anyone figure out whatever numerical code is hidden in the following paragraph:

5  MCMXIX  the selene spacecraft launches. jaxa has called the mission, quote the largest lunar mission since the Apollo program.quote. when I turned twenty years old, I was two years older than my brother. One day, I saw the band 311 play live.

Just ran it through an online cipher, if you don’t include the 2 (A=1) it gives you “TRACK”

Also, maybe that tracklist doesn’t point to it being fake. These could be the original working titles for the tracks included? Just a thought…

The first tumblr post contained the message missingtrack. See the last post on page 13.

Where did this paragraph come from? I must have either missed it or am thinking of something else entirely.

Awesome! I don't know how I missed this!
This might be an odd question, but how much older is one of the BoC brothers than the other?

There is still the matter of the date alluded to at the end of the dbz trail.

tvsg in numbers is 20 22 19 7 = 19th July 2022?

Probably not relevant but possibly maybe? Two brothers with a nostalgic tune.

19th July is the date humans fist landed on the moon in 1969 (BoC have a tune called 1969)

It's also the 200th day of the year except on leap years

The plot thickens...

200 days also leaves 165 days left in the year something to do with channel 165 perhaps?

I'm still not convinced that dbz/seebirds/4226 has anything to do with the original VHS tape although I hope so, both cases the tunes are extremely cool.

The original tape has an audio hiss and there is nothing to suggest it is not made the old school way where as 4226 may have just ripped the clouds visuals and put it to some music also took the name from the video length of the op shop tape.

Either way I hope they come back with more music

MCMXIX translates to 1919 and then the 20+2 reference aswell as the apollo mention is quite a lot of a coincedence

I know it got decoded to missing track and also foreshadow but still deserves a mention.
