Can anyone name this supposed BOC track?

I've had this track for years, and I know full well it isn't a BOC production, but I haven't come across this ambient drone anywhere else to be able to name it - anyone out there got a clue who this tune is actually by? I got it from Napster, and it was labelled 'Boards of Canada - Middle Field.' I'll be grateful to know who created it, a very nice ambience but certainly not BOC!

i could not identify either of these! i have a few unknown tracks labeled BoC as welll that i have yet to get identified. guess ill post them here again.

a breaks track that loops a few times to match the length of the boc track. kinda crystal method-y.

a downtempo track that sounds an awful lot like múm but I have yet to find this track in any of their records?

there's a missing "hyper" in the text transfer protocol syntax.

Aha! didn't see that, thanks.

And no, I don't recognize the songs.

The only thing that came to mind was the intro to "Between Us and Them" by Ulrich Schnauss.



If the sound is unique to him, then it might be a demo (or another one of his songs?) if not, then who knows.

Im sure I have heard that MiddleField drone before, or I have something almost identical on my ipod. I cant for the life of me thing of what it would be though.

I'll post back if i ever hear it again.

Sounds like Drape to me; very Boccy and droney sounds. I have one album "Dream Words" and your track doesn't sound a million miles away from "A Postscript" (albeit their track is longer).

Worth checking out anyway for boccy/drone goodness!
