ATP Sound Board leak

[Negamuse]

Very cool to hear these!

I will just say, there's an (apparent) quote on that Reddit thread from the guy whos CD it was "ive unfortunately come to the conclusion that im no longer going to upload the whole cd track list(as advised by someone who I can't say who) but in order to keep give you guys something to be happy about I will rip just one track and upload it. sorry for getting your hopes up. *This was not my decision."

It's true Reddit randos jumped on the guy, but this quote sounds a lot more to me like someone official had a bit of a word with him behind the scenes.

Can you elaborate? Do we know where these came from?

this is tied to the chordplayer77 reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada ... dlost_boc/

that sparked up discussion on the general new release speculation thread, the tail end of it, basically everyone thought it was fake at that time

Not exactly everyone.

I also feel the quote like this, but it's also possible his father forbade him from sharing them. If the coworker story is true, he might simply want to avoid annoying the person who initially gave the CD.

It is a totally disappointing outcome for fans, _but_ I agree it's also likely that he'd have had to ask his dad about it anyway - since he had no CD player/drive - and likely end up being asked not to share any more regardless of whether the reddit thread was all sunshine and rainbows. hey-ho! we live in anticipation of a bocset proper :¬)

The owner of these files posted this find on the r/boardsofcanada subreddit but was essentially bullied into reclusion by the Reddit users who were skeptical of its authenticity and essentially harassed him off the site.

These three mp3 files were all that reddit user shared to another reddit user who pmed him of which was then sent to Mark.

There was another folder labeled "Miscellaneous Lost Tracks 2001" with unlabeled 13 tracks.

It is my opinion that the members of the r/boardsofcanada subreddit were responsible for their reclusion.

Here is what could have been and why that no longer is.

Typical Reddit skepticism.

If this was truly old but unreleased material, someone absolutely could have contacted him and said please don't upload. That makes the most sense TBH. The Brothers hate their unreleased stuff being leaked. They end friendships over it apparently

[scherdichnich]

yep that stuff from late 2024 was legit.. eating my own words as we speak (scherdichnich really got mistreated in the whole ordeal especially by me, adding in the chance he sees this)

When I went to the reddit thread being discussed, there's still someone's shared folder where they saved some uploads from that time. Just three files but they don't match the three now at rareboc. There is no Echus.
Now that I've learned more of the original context, the unique track in this folder sounds like it was the OP [deleted] recording their CD through their home speaker. It is the beginning 3:25 of ATP 2... Correct me if I'm wrong... https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... VQJhTeFrfM

It is for the best then that it wasn’t uploaded.

After listening to the soundboard recordings I honestly prefer listening to the live room recordings. Still, very cool to hear.

[Group Hex]

In dire need of mastering!!!

[johnstamos]

Reddit sure know how to ruin literally anything

[NineRubberCops]

When I go to the Reddit thread now it says it was removed by the mods and when I go to their account it says it was deleted

Why does Reddit always know how to ruin everything

[nordheim]

Hey all, I did a quick clean up and mixing job on those as they were pretty low amplitude... Basic eq'ing to just broaden the spectrum a bit too... Oh, and I also added the "room tone" which we all know from listening 30000000 times. Enjoy. If you don't enjoy, feel free to do a mix of the two yourself. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/levy4w4i ... xsk5r&dl=0

[nordheim]

By the way, to ANYONE who says they were fake, I suggest they look at the two files side by side with any modicum of forensic analysis and one will see they are completely legitimate recordings of the show. I would say to those jokers, PROVE ME WRONG!

[scherdichnich]

why?

[rubicon]

This is amazing, what a gift... Never thought I'd hear clean versions of these! Grateful to the uploader.

ATP 07 sounds great. "See the rainbow!" at 5:22.
