possibly (almost certainly not) a BOC song (from reddit)

Post by vyzel »

I was doing some cleaning over the weekend and found a box of my brothers old Vinyl records. I went through them and found a CD marked "boards of canada/hollyrood park". I'm not a huge Boards of Canada fan by any means, but I do have all of their albums and this song is not on any of them. Seeing as how we are from from scotland, and that my brother was big into the music scene here in the 90s, it seems plausible that this could actually be them.
I ripped it and uploaded it here
Any thoughts?

the drums are what puts me off here, just doesn't really seem like them to me.

doesn't seem super legit. melodies are nice but don't feel like them. def sounds BOC-ish, but sort of sounds like a rip-off. i could be wrong, but we'll probably never know :D regardless, it's still a nice track.

the more i listen, the synths sound almost exactly like the presets in Audiowarps BOCS for Kontakt, leading me further to believe it's probably not legit.

If this is them then I can hear why they wouldn't have released it. Having said that it is certainly listenable, just not up the the BoC standard.

BOC or not, I like it nevertheless; sounds kinda like Radiohead's All I Need

Apply light LFO to OSC pitch, select random park in Edinburgh.

I haven't even listened yet, just assuming.

Not locking, but moving to Random Sound in lieu of proof it's genuine. I realise we live in a post-truth world but I'm buggered if Twoism.org is swallowing another horseshit sandwich.

Why do we even have these kinds of threads at this point? Is there really nothing else to talk about?
