IIRC the music is BoC but vocal sample was added afterwards for something else...

correct, the song file being passed around that the OP is calling fake is "Poppy Seed (Reprise)" mislabeled as "The Children's Prison". So really it's not a fake, it's just incorrect labeling. The official BoC YouTube channel must have enjoyed the video David made and so featured it on their channel instead of finding the same song elsewhere on YouTube, even though the video they chose did not have the actual song name listed.

This has been bugging me since it was first uploaded. It's a nice track regardless so I'd be happy to listen to more work from whoever made this.

Agreed. If you look at the channel that uploaded this, it was made only a few months ago, and this is the only video they've uploaded. It confuses the hell out of me. I think it's likely a fake, though if mdg were to come in here and say it's legit it wouldn't shock me.

Much like a certain live recording we all later discovered was completely legit and that most likely uploaded by the band during a stay in New Zealand.

To be fair, this hoax (until proven otherwise) appeared under pretty much the same circumstances:

If The Campfire Headphase was a butterfly, would Acid Memories be the caterpillar?

Has anyone got that old fake "2004 Album Promo" that had songs like 104, Oranges and Flowers, Floatee, and Samflower on it?

Could well be, everyone mentions on that thread how convincing 'Found the Way' is. They are saying it sounds really similar to a track by Data Language Systems, but I can't get a hold of any of it to listen because old thread = dead links :( If it is from this leak, the uploader must have kept the track file for some time. All I know is that I really want to find out who produced the track, my ears like it very much!

I came across a comment by Herz HZ, the YouTube account that uploaded Found The Way, on a video that claims to be Stry Craty Bya. The comment says 'Eno Test', which we know is an unreleased marumari track that is sometimes mislabeled as Stry Craty Bya. Interesting that the same account is both debunking fakes and uploading fakes.

They have done the same on other videos too. They're clearly very interested in BoC's early work, maybe they're a member of the forum? :wink:

So this is an obvious fake that was uploaded a couple weeks ago, and I recognize most of the tracks. However, the last track that comes in at about 23:14 (after Nlogax) is dope, and I ain't never heard it before. Anyone got a source on it? Nevermind, found it. It's an Autechre track, which I suspected.

That particular fake Acid Memories has been floating around for years. Pretty frustrating since it actually fooled (and continues to fool) a pretty substantial amount of people into believing that Acid Memories really is just a compilation of tracks that got released later.

For some reason, a lot of people seem to think that 1969 is actually Growing Hand while ignoring the rest of the dubious release. A few of 'em are really in denial, one guy just flat out deleted my comment which had irrefutable evidence in it (BoC didn't really make branch davidian references until Poppy Seed, it doesn't make sense for an earlier version of 1969 to sound exactly like the Geogaddi version rather than the one they played live a couple of years earlier at the Lighthouse) on his Growing Hand/1969 upload.

Oh hey, that fake Acid Memories disappeared. Turns out there is at least one guy who has it that listens to the truth:
