What the KALE is up with Hooper Bay???

[canboarda]

I wanted to dig a little deeper on Hooper Bay, but I didn't know where to start so I wanted to ask here.

1)
Why does everyone want to hear Hooper Bay?
2)
Why hasn't BoC released Hooper Bay?
3)
Why is the Hooper Bay cover so different from all other BoC covers?

Those are my 3 questions, feel free to speculate, but expect little input from me since I'm not very educated on Hooper Bay.
If you can't answer these, that's fine.

Cheers,
canboarda

P.S: Please don't be an arse to me I'm quite new .

Personally I don't want to hear Hooper Bay any more than any of the other early releases.

They have released Hooper Bay

Good question about the cover, It must mean something to them, Perhaps we will never know. But there is that gif of a kid drawing a circle in on a wall and a track called circle, Looks like the photo and gif are from the same place

I mean there was a HB hoax like a couple months ago. By Biznasty and Niski, maybe that could be referencing that?

No mate this was from the BoC discography from the early 2000's on music70.com. That doesn't prove it's real though.

Also my bad, Says 12" and cassette

Ooh!

Apparently mentions of Hooper Bay go back earlier than 1999 but I think that post about the guy or gal having Hooper Bay is the earliest reference I can find. So yeah it goes way back

Got it.

[Twentington]

from the very limited information we have online and stretched assumptions, I think that closes would the spiciest of the unreleased albums should it be unearthed, the cover art is beautiful

Where exactly did this gif come from?

[6sided420]

Looks like they're drawing a hexagon more than a circle in that gif

[qukk_]

The only interesting insight about Hooper Bay that I know of is that supposedly the cover image used for the EHX site was stretched to fit a CD release, when in reality the image fits more as a cassette cover (similar to the OT covers.)

EHX Website as far as I can remember

Yeah that sounds familiar

Yeah I think they're just pretending to be drawing it. I wonder if the circle is part of an old game

[Samplehunter]

For the first question, why wouldn't you more Boards of Canada, especially something earlier than Twoism?
