Yeah, I was going to say that I wish I could open them, but the only thing that I can think of that might be able to open them is Photoshop, which I don't have on this PC. Might transfer them to my laptop later to check.

Blast from the past this (HELL.COM)

I remember years and years ago, I was talking to a geezer in a pub, I think he started to talk to me because I had a Black Sabbath Master of Reality t-shirt on, and he told me about a website called HELL.COM. He told me to go home and have a look, but also warned me it was a bit fucked up and trippy. Hah, this is so weird because this post has triggered off that memory.

I remember getting home half-cut and logging on. And it was fucking weird and it was trippy lol. I was also using the family computer and for some reason that frightened me off going any further, I dunno, just seemed creepy back in the day.

Edit: it appears as though the audio is random for that one, or there are at least different tracks, because upon opening it again I heard some Eno.
This one is really bizarre, because I've heard everything from Joy Division to The xx sound clips on it... Meaning that this page/ these pages have been updated as late as 2009.

If the Sixtyten loop is really on one of these pages then we've got a lot of searching to do.
At least late 2010, since on one of the pages, I recognized animation including a character from the "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" cartoon show.

These pages are interesting--- I wonder if new pages are still being created. But I'm also thinking they're not really related to BoC.

There was at least an update last xmas ;) https://twitter.com/sign69 Definitely interesting, and definitely not BoC-related :p

Well, as said before: Hell.com was an art project. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell.com

As for the Sixtyten loop, i think (and i really hope not) it's lost in the depths of the web. Dead links and whatnot make it impossible to find. Maybe if we got in touch with Hell.com's creator? http://www.kennetharonson.com/

this is a weird one, just heard new dawn fades by joy division, then see emily play by pink floyd, then another different song.
Looks like this link keeps changing song.

Hey all!

Wow is all I can say. You guys went far and beyond digging stuff up. Mega THANKS to all the users here for finding these links. I would have never had the patience to discovered them all by my self.
First off looking at these sites again bring back really cool old memories - thanks again. Looking at that 69sign site was pretty awesome/strange. It definitely had the hell.com aurora to it but it look like something done a little later on in the site than when I visited. I can see it has more recent tunes associated with it than what was around in the late 90's. This link though http://www.0100101110101101.org/home/co ... nvas2.html is what I remember seeing back then. It's where my buddy and I heard the sixtyten loop I believe. I am positive it was sixtyten too and not something similar. I can't mistake that loop for anything else because it stuck out in my head. It sounded so original I always thought.
I e-mailed my friend to ask about the track he used the sampled loop in and I'm just waiting for a reply. It's been so long since we spoke of it honestly. He's probably going to laugh :D
It's something that's been on my mind about BoC for a while. The loop we heard on the site was a lot different from the album though, that's why I've always thought about it. It was the first melody part from sixtyten but it played the whole loop without the percussion parts and none of the other layered melodies from the original track. That led me to believe it couldn't have been sampled from the album. Also the melody it self seem to morph some with like an echo or delay added to it I remember.
I never believed BoC had a hand in developing hell.com but I guessed they were aware of it and maybe they did contribute said loop to them for fun.
I said it before it could be impossible to ever find it again though. I know how BoC has stripped any old existence of themselves and their tunes off the internet over the past decade. It could have been deleted per request of the band once they became more popular? I can't say.
I just know it was there at one time, and I wanted to know if anyone else had seen it besides my friend and I. Another cool part of BoC mystery in the end I suppose.
Special big thanks again to all the users digging up these old sites! I actually find seeing this stuff again a lot more worth it. I knew twoism org could help shed more light on this.

Also @ yhancik, thanks for sharing the info on the sites creators and collaborators. i never knew who started the site back then.
@Mexicola, I know right, after seeing all this I feel like I open the portal to hell here (haha) with just one question.

this would make sense of the pic on their old site saying: "The internet is evil. wake up." could be a reference to hell.com

So I've been on this site for what feels like hours, searching for it like a madman. Although these flash animations are so simple, it's ridiculous how much programming and detail actually went into them. Just staying on a single webpage for too long can bring up strange sounds. There's so much stuff going on it's a little hard to comprehend.

However, it really sounds like it could be here. Do you exactly remember what visual was on the screen during the Sixtyten loop? I've viewed so many of these pages that I might be able to recognize a description.

Nah sorry, nottoolate. I can't really remember exactly what the page resembled at the time because it was so long ago. I just know that this page http://www.0100101110101101.org/home/co ... nvas2.html looked really familiar when I seen it. As soon as I get word from my friend on all this I should have more info to help out. He has been pretty busy lately because he started a new job out of state so getting a hold of him has been tough. I'm sure I'll speak with him before the weekend is over though.

Thanks for looking into the site. I know how much of a maze it can be in there and the sounds it plays can be pretty strange. :)

oops i meant to post this page http://www.0100101110101101.org/home/co ... nvas2.html

Thank you for the update! I'm sure we'd all be interested in what your friend has to say, any extra information would be great haha.
