And now the audio (with different video) got conveniently uploaded to another channel. Without the far fetched story this time. It’s getting old now.

Fairly obviously fake to my eyes, I just didn't want general new release to continue being bombarded with non-stop posts about this.

It shouldn’t be in the BOC Forum either then. I’d better move it to TRS.

Just as everyone lost their minds trying to find every single possible thing in sxt, most of that if not all of that was NOT BOC. Still, it created interest in other music and allowed for longer playlists for each of us to listen to throughout the day. In the beginning, it was a little much for me watching from the sidelines as a lurker here. But! I loved it.
I'm not saying that this VHS thing is similar or related but it generated the same kind of excitement for some new music that I hadn't heard before. I think I just word things very stupidly and send a very confusing message. That's on me.

I'm not a fan of Tycho, but I used to be and have not once thought about this sounding like him. Not one time has that crossed my mind and that is usually the first artist that pops in my head when I hear someone trying to recreate the boc sound.
Not too sure what it may be, but it seems that the backstory was intended to sound like shit. The first time I read through it, I knew I was being trolled. The "Maybe you know?" at the end totally gave it away for me. Saying this artist "intended to release this due to tracklist being found on google" does not tell us anything. Maybe you all have seen more of these kinds of shenanigans than I have but it doesn't take away from the fact that this is a superb mix of unknowns.
It's always only supposed to be about the music, Right?

I've been a BOC fan since the 90's, and I've avidly followed the online discussion since the beginning. Heck I even remember pre-bocpages when it was some just guy aggregating all the conspiracy theories in a document after Geogaddi ended up on Rhapsody.
In the beginning, it seemed like all the discussion was open-minded exploration of *the music.* Whether it was a confirmed BOC release or not, people would talk about the songs they loved, run stuff through spectograms looking for clues, try to make sense out of track lengths and samples, and just overall have fun engaging in the mystery that surrounded BOC.
Now all anyone does is debate whether something is fake or not. I posted this video in the "New Release" thread because it piqued my interest and was the most authentic sounding leak I've since the tapes. Sure enough, immediately everyone jumped on me with suspicion. Why did I post it? What was my motive? Someone said "I have some explaining to do." Someone else bemoaned the lengths the hoaxers go to in order to get noticed. It was just so much complaining and talking about issues surrounding the music rather than talking about the music itself. Since this was posted, 95% of the discussion about this video has been suspicion, disbelief, skepticism, and a host of other negatively-framed reactions. Every post is whether someone thinks it's fake or whether someone thinks it's authentic. Only a small minority of posts have actually involved discussing (*gasp*) the music itself, or the track titles, or what it could all mean.
BOC is a group that is inseparable from mystery and conspiracy. That is their essence. Focusing on whether something is authentic or not totally misses the point. They have created such an incredible experience filled with endless mysteries and clues to explore. I miss when people actually explored those clues, and kept an open mind, and had fun doing it.
Sorry... /rant.
Anyway... total runtime 42:26 = next release 4/2/26 see you all there.
