On this capture: https://web.archive.org/web/20010208105 ... ips_1.html, it seems like where the old website music comes from is this clips page. It seems there are different gifs (shown below) that play along with the sounds, and I was wondering if anyone knew what the background looked like on that page? Was it this background?:

Or something different?

Here are the gifs from Bocpages:

Reason I'm asking this is because I want to make a video compilation of the gifs synced to the songs that are associated with them.

Woah, that first GIF looks like the circle on the Hooper Bay cover.

That must have been before they came up with the hexagon theme! Circle Sun does have a certain ring to it :lol:

That background looks pretty familiar. im sure the original website was different and that was a later period you have up but I could be wrong? I had the last gif as my avatar for a while but spotted someone else using it on twoism. keep at it/ good luck.

I wish we knew the origins behind the covers of stuff like Hooper Bay. I think half the reason their old secret albums are so tantalizing are those covers that are so brilliantly in line with the BOC mystique.

Yes, I remember that pictures back in 2005-2006 while this famous loop was playing

Also the myspace account was a thing, a lot of images there. The moment they changed the location status to New Zealand :] soo many memories that times.

If you look closely, he's drawing a hexagon in the middle of the circle.

Websites don't really do that anymore these days, do they? I remember when I first went to the BoC site it freaked me out a little, something about those bitcrushed loops still sounds so ominous, like visiting abandoned buildings.
