I'll answer my own question 8) . What I found was track 15 from side A and track 15 from side B stuck together for some odd reason... I encountered the same thing with the track 1 from sides A and B too.

Didn't anyone ever notice that one of the BOC website animations has a channel with insect noises? When you fly around one of the islands, one of the sound poles is just insect noises.. I always thought that's where those tracks got it.. the ones with insect noises inserted at the end.


Anyways.. what kind of scurvy bastards would mislable tracks? What's the point?

I would be very surprised if that piece isn't made by Loess. Sounds like just the kind of wandering synths and quirky percussion they use..

I might have to agree with you here. There are several signature Loess sounds in this track. The only thing that seems out of place is the wolves/coyotes samples that flow in and out of the track. I know Loess used to have a couple hidden tracks on their site, but never got a chance to grab em. :( Perhaps this is one of those.

I have run across a track labelled Echo The Sun which is 05:40 long and predominately features chirping insect noises. It is actually quite nice and if it isn't the work of BOC, then indeed it is the work of a talented ambient musician.
I also have a version of Everything You Do Is A Balloon labelled as the Gescom Mix. It is 10:32 long and features no attempt at remixing the actual song (This is the same version of EYDIAB that appears on the Hi Scores EP). However, after EYDIAB ends, the remainder of the track length is taken up an excerpt from the aforementioned Echo The Sun track.

Can anyone confirm whether or not this Echo The Sun track might be a mislabelled Gescom track or otherwise?

I also have a 07:01 copy of Seward Leaf purportedly from Hooper Bay. It features a synth that sounds like acoustic guitars and an occasional sample of something being dropped into water; I have a feeling this might be one of those Mum tracks wrongly attributed to Hooper Bay.

Has anyone else found these or have any pertinant info on them?

I'm pretty sure that's not a loess track - sounds like a poor copy to me.

I've got pretty much everything they've done - the secret tracks on nonresponse were ones they did while known as 'seaweed soup': daphnia, forked and one of the live sets. This mp3 certainly isn't one of those.

While the nonresponse.com tracks have been removed (aside from a tobias lilja track) you can listen to a veritable feast of early loess music here: http://phobos.serve.com/seaweed_soup/?D=A including the aforementioned hidden mp3s. The big live sets are more like their codec scovill stuff - very slow and ambient.

davidac hid the hidden mp3s on his site as a bit of a homage but he probably just hid the link to nonresponse (they were all accessible at http://www.nonresponse.com/audio/)

As you can tell I'm a big loess fan...

The tracks sound completely different to the "fake" excerpts, but I'm still not sure if they are BOC. One track "Circle" has a wispy girly vocal during the second half. I can't make out many of the words but I hear "you flow so fast, you little ???" and some other phrases.

Anyone else come across these or have any idea what they may be? I'm sceptical, obviously.
I have the same exact thing. It sounds like she says "Please don't flow so fast, you little moon..." And I am completely in love with it, BoC or not.

Is this a fraud? I'll upload it...

Thanks for clearing that up. :) I didn't realize those hidden nonresponse tracks were actually Seaweed Soup tracks...I was worried there were more Loess tracks floating around out there! :lol:

Almost certainly a 'múm' track; definately not a BoC track.

What's the track length of the one without pub conversation? And does it sound like A-Z or with cut off?

hey.. while we're here, I've got an odd little piece from Old Tunes 2 in between "heysanna hosanna" and "fly in the pool" of just people speaking in an old movie or something. I think the guy is saying "the inspector's been questioning me again about Gary". I didn't see it listed on bocpages; is this in everyone's copy? It's only about 8 seconds long
