Re: Hooper Bay Tracks?

It probably is a fake based on the earlier analysis of Noatak compared to the live version, but it is really nice to listen to anyway. If the uploader was the one who created it, I hope they make the other two tracks at some point.
In general I find the idea of people making original music to an existing cover/title (and in this case a vague sense of how 2/3 of the tracks might sound) to be a really interesting concept, although it's a shame how often it is used to trick people instead of being honest. (I know there has been a lot of drama about this in the past). I'm going through some of the fake tracks from other albums now and there's some fun stuff there even if it isn't usually that plausible
The end of Noatak features a melody played and then reversed, similar to Dandelion. Not really relevant to whether it's a legit track or not, but I thought it was a cool detail. The reversed melody seems oddly familiar to me but I'm not sure if that's just Deja Vu or if it could have been sampled from something.
