Part of me feels like this will lead to nothing and it's just a bunch of coincidences, the other part of me is feeling like this will lead to the back catalog being repressed.

He might have posted that after reading the info here. He is a BoC fan.

Right, I think I've missed something here. What's this bailenantrodach thing? What's this Sandrai thing? What do you mean by "seems that SOME people knew about it but not everyone."? and where did that seal thing come from?
I'm very drunk btw.

I wonder if they've thought about the possibility that we might discover their peers on the internet eventually, maybe accidentally, as we perform detective work on these things. That would definitely be an unwanted backlash of the current, shrouded attitude.

Maybe BoC took the picture from that flickr account. That guy has a lot of pictures taken from old TVs, which is something BoC-quesque.

1. How Do I Know remix is posted by OldHat
2. New Youtube channel named Orphel Binuswade is created shortly afterward, those 2 short samples that seem fake are posted, along with the remix.
3. People notice that the background for the remix that was posted by Orphel Binuswade is a much higher quality version of the Hell Interface logo, which most people thought only existed in thumbnail form.
4. Some people point out that on the Hell Interface page on last.fm, the higher quality logo is present there, so we assume that's where Orphel Binuswade got it from.
5. The logo was uploaded to last.fm by user bailenantrodach on Apr 24, 2013 (right after the RSD incident - this is the only activity for this account on last.fm)
6. A google search for bailenantrodach has a link to:
which is a post discussing a song called Pollyanna Siren/Sandrail. There is a post from bailenantrodach there.
7. The song has been taken down, but here's the google cache:

I think the Turn Around Now sign is interesting, heh

The flickr user has more content totally related with BoC. He is just a fan, probably.

Thanks man.
First time I've heard that Sandrail track. Sounds a bit messy tbh.

The name of the "Turn Around Now" image is interesting.
http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/500/6 ... ne+Gap.jpg
google search for "theta pine gap" turns up "theta" and "pine gap" separately here:

This might have come up earlier in the thread, but could be a good refresher at this point.

I hear if you slow it down so that it's twice as slow, it sounds much better.

Ha, fucking hell. Don't think I can be bothered to do that tbh. Just sounds like keyboard noodling to me.
I think this whole Orphel Binuswade/Pollyanna Siren thing is a wind up in all honesty. I like the sound of those two new 'clips', but the more I think about it, the more it doesn't seem right. Too many inconsistencies.
I think I'm gonna give up the internet (it really is evil) for a while and just listen to TH on loop.

Is it possible that the guy on flickr fetched that biogas photo from Boards' Myspace or something? The Myspace pictures don't seem to be there anymore, and I don't know when they were uploaded, or if it was there in the first place, and in which resolution.

Sure is unlikely

this was in that guys set from 2008 -
The picture is from the same film, but has been captured at different times. There are some differences between the pictures. Coincidence?
He is a
fan of the group.
Maybe the picture comes from the movie: The Killings at Outpost Zeta (from which the cover for Twoism was taken)

Guys? The hex view of the Hell Interface logo contains the phrase Hell Interface Silicon Filter Grail which turns up a weird song on Last FM. It sounds backwards, but reversed in Audacity it just sounds...reversed.

Heh, and it was posted by our friend bailenantrodach in 2009. The rabbit hole goes deeper.

It's funny how we've failed to notice that. It's literally on the front page of the artist page.

And for 4 years apparently.
Btw, to me it sounds just heavily chopped, not reversed. But dunno. Wonder if there's some message in it. Given there's stuff in the hex, I'd assume they want us to know something.

Bizarre little sample. It songs like it needs to be slowed down. It has the resident choppy sample sound, but what is it? And what is Silicon Filter Grail? An album?

This makes me wonder all the things we have failed to discover that is already within our reach.
