Yes i am working as well. In fact, i've been totally obsessed over this ever since it came out and i persist in saying that it originates from BOC. In my opinion, one of the keys in decyphering this can be found in track 18. If we could just find the words which are pronounced at the begining of this track. Sounds something like "The moon and the stars began to glow"... or is it blow? and then i could barely hear what sounded like "repulsive water" and "wonderful site". Unfortunately, i could not find anything relevant with any combination of these words on Google. if someone could decypher these words then maybe it could give us a little hint. Also, did anyone notice some parts in these tracks are played backwards? Seems a lot of trouble and a little too creative to be be done by amateurs.

BoC are well known for having elements of their tracks using backward recordings and barely audible muffled speech. And if somebody is making music inspired by BoC or trying to pass itself off as BoC these are easy techniques to incorporate. In my opinion these things alone don’t display a level of creativity or technical ability that proves this is BoC.

42:27 actually, but probably YouTube adds 1 second more in every video.

There were channels involved in the thrift store vhs ARG named Forty-Two Twenty-Six and 4226. YouTube does add the extra second though. Sheol Boundary's "Uuh" is 6:06 but before you click the actual video, it says 6:07.

Ooook, so what does this all mean? I like it though. Keep up the investigation.

Ummm, synths sound right, drums sound right, production value sounds right. Sounds a lot like TH outtakes. What is this?

YouTube channel is called Outerwack. Some good, recent content for sure. (Kind of reminds me of the Clayton stuff.)

That track screams BOC. One of the most authentic-sounding tracks on the entire thrift store tape. Nobody else comes close. Still convinced it’s them.

There is one video missing to reupload, is called Missing Tracks (I think), and has around 6 to 8 minutes.
