Surely you jest... compare the first few notes of EYDIAB (I just checked on Hi Scores) and the signal with the numbers, the affiliation is quite clear even if YES it is NOT identical, it's pretty close, close enough to instill the need to find that track/video and check it.


If u're interested, i made an audio file with the first notes from both EYDIAB and the csch audio file. i think it will be clear why people thought of EYDIAB: https://soundcloud.com/connor-cathey/ey ... -with-csch

Yes... To say it is the same would of course be wrong. But most folks who have mentioned this have simply remarked at a similarity, which I feel is a perfectly fair comment.


To get this straight:

Sorry, but you've entirely misunderstood.

Only the uploader of a Youtube video can edit annotations. You're suggesting AtlantaFugiens is a 'hoaxer' - this is not the case. Members here will vouch that it is at least an account with a genuine connection to BOC, and there is enough to confirm this.

i do get and fully understand how people feel its sounds like it, the vibe etc, but thats just 'one' note.
we're talking the full 5 notes here and thats closer to close encounters inc. the concept of the film.

also, theres a keypad used with it in another old movie

perhaps they could take that idea for the one time pad, i dunno

That is absolutely right - to lay it out for thepastinsidepressant, the consensus was made when this video surfaced (long before this event) that it was from someone close to the band. It's a soundboard quality recording of the live version of Julie and Candy - up until that point, only poor quality fan recordings existed of the performance. It's also noted in the Warp book that the video is a genuine Hexagon Sun production which was used in live performances. Not a hoax. This video was set up to establish their bonafides on Youtube a long time ago.

do you reckon it will be on live tv? or in an ad break or something?

IF it came on Adult Swim it would likely be in the bump before of after a break in programming, IMO.

Ad time is notoriously expensive, easier to just have someone from the comm group slip something on air, or have participation from the actual channel. on both NPR and BBC it was on air and I would expect the same from something on TV. Not sure how they could weave it in without freaking part of the populace but ;)

The mood of it is very similar to the intro of EYDIAB, there was a lot of people commenting that it was the same tune on Bocpages Facebook, which was a bit annoying. Also, I can see what you mean about Close Encounters, just a bit, but not a whole lot to be honest.

Yeah, it's somewhat expensive but not that much for just one ad, especially like 20 seconds. It's not free though, like getting a radio producer on side.

There is no tv show I can think of that would be interested in spending airtime on this. Maybe the Culture Show or Review Show on BBC2, but BOC are quite outside their interest I think.

It's only a theory of course. It would be a major step if they put this advert out. Very little music is advertised on tv these days let lone spooky, quasi pirate interruptions.

I thought something would happen to do with Trails today. Because yesterday on BBC, the DJ was really pushing the word trails in a very obvious way. Like all the time too.

I've checked the video a few times to see if they left a clue in the comments again, but no luck. I really think Trails must have something to do with it, or why was he saying it so much, and in such an obvious way, on same show they had the clue.

Also there was the fact that people here speculated trails would be important in the next step as it was moved up in their playlist, before the BBC guy kept spouting it also..

I looked on the twoism forum for the first time to guage the levels of hysteria and there are some people there who think that there will be a BoC transmission saying six numbers on the advert breaks between The 10 O'Clock Show on Channel 4 tonight despite having no evidence that it will happen. They want to believe and they're all going to watch it.

Not sure what started it. I watch the forums over there too just so I can stay up to date with everything. A lot of people there just want to debunk everything, seems like
