The EHX website was once the home of the first ever dedicated BoC page, and as such it hosted quite a bit of media. There is a mirror of the page itself on the Wayback Machine, but it's horribly incomplete as most of archive.org's captures were made after the site itself had vanished.

This page in particular sparks a lot of interest. The clips of Duffy, Wouldn't You Like To Be Free, and Circle originally came from here (and have made the rounds since then, to the frustration of people who want to hear the entire tracks), but there's a few other points of interest here. The proof of the live Chinook from 1997 is here, but the actual audio seems to have gone AWOL.

BOCpages also says that some of the Super 8 footage that they used live is here and the directory structure indicates that many, many still pictures didn't get saved. Has anyone got anything that was once hosted here besides the 3 aforementioned clips?

Hey look there's the chinook live clip no one has anymore.

It sounded pretty cool as I remember it. A little more harsh, maybe faster.. Shitty live recording

The untitled one I think was one we've heard, like one of the sounds for those gif loops they had. Maybe that bloop blonk hiss one from the ATP set.

Haha i know right? Honestly the chinook clip isnt that impressive, just 30 seconds of not the ending.. But i understand completely how people want to hear it anyway. Kid for today sample was identical as far as i can remember. When iabp came out i was like "oh, that cool bit from the website is a track".

Judging by the filename (boc_mask100.ram), I'm gonna guess Korona.

Maybe the owners of the old site?

Seriously, it must be out there. Someone must have it.

Even if we find someone who got the old files they would be .ram files which are useless.
Unless they were smart enough to get the .rm files.
this thread is full of shenanigans.

Why would a .ram be useless? There seem to be plenty of free converters for .ram to mp3 out there.
I don't know much about the subject, though.

A .ram is simply a reference to a .ra or .rm. It doesn't contain any actual data.

Exactly. Funny enough opening a ram file on notepad tells you the rm file location via url.

Oh, well there we go. Again, no knowledge of the subject personally. It just seemed that there were lots of places claiming that they could convert a .ram to mp3.

So it is just a reference file i.e telling your system where the data is located and what to do with it rather than actually containing said data?
