Hey there everybody, I'm new. I've been into BoC now for going on almost two years...but I've stuck with the basics.

First I bought Music... then I bought Geogaddi, and now Headphase. Fearful to buy anything that wasn't too mainstream, I've downloaded (sorry) a few other tracks too: Amo Bishop Roden, Hi Scores, Chinook, and Last Walk Around Mirror Lake (a definite favorite). I'd really love to buy some of their rarer stuff, which would you reccommend the most?

Thanks!

The real question is what rare BoC stuff shouldn't you download....

As far as the mainstream thing goes... you may be exploring the wrong band. But then again I'm not sure what you meant by that. :wink:

ahhh haha i meant...I'm afraid to buy stuff that's rare. It's usually easier to get a hold of stuff by downloading anyway, so downloading rare stuff is an easy out. I certainly would rather buy BoC stuff, there's no substitution.

Oh.... well... then....

Twoism, In a Beautiful Place, Hi Scores, and Peels Sessions are all readily availible, as are about half of the remixes.

The super rare stuff is all in mp3 format, if that. I'd recommend Soulseek for hunting that stuff down. It's all really good.

ROYGBIV Extended Mix w/ Alpha Quest:

If anyone has a 320 mp3 of this to share that would be incredible.

I've also been on a long and hard hunt for this track. All of the version's I've found have been terrible quality, despite saying "320 kbps"..

Maybe the track's source was not too high of quality to begin with, either that or possibly the DAT tape it was recorded to has taken damage of some sort since it was made.


Either that or someone's an asshole and they put a 96kbps mp3 into Audacity and exported it at 320kbps to get people to download their file more.
Okay...now...wait for fog machine.

My favorite from boc, even though it's only 24 seconds or w/e. I truly hope someday we can all hear the rest.

So with you on this. I've often left this on repeat for hours. It's beautiful, it's mysterious, it's the ultimate BOC tease, and we constantly try to extrapolate the entire unheard album from a mere 25 hypnotic seconds.
I'll see you when the sun sets east, don't forget me.

Download everything. Then keep what you like and get rid of the rest. Eventually purchase whatever you can reasonably afford. Remember that if the artist has not made the music available for purchase like with Old Tunes then don't feel bad about downloading it.

There are a shitload of others, if you're not sure of buying something, download it, listen to it, and buy it afterwards. I always do that, I have a decent cd collection, but I never buy something if I haven't listened to it before.
