Where did you get those titles from?

The titles came with the files.

Their legitimacy is questionable (as is the case with pretty much all pre-Twoism material), but the track names sound pretty BoC-esque to me.

Track 19 is one of your favorites? Strange, seems rather run-of-the-mill to me. Track 6 or 8 off side one are better IMO. I agree track 16 is super.

I thought none of the old tunes 1 tracks had titles, apart from the ones that appear on the other old tunes tapes. I wouldn't trust those names. The title "At the Embankment" sounds too much like "up the march bank" for one.

Could you list all the old tunes volume 1 names you have, I'm sure others would be interested.

Yeah post 'em all if you can.

I think that I like #19 because it's so dissimilar to any other BoC track (probably why I like 'House of Adin'abab' too, although the wobbly synth used it that track does remind me of 'Twoism')

Anyway, here are the track names that came with the files:

01 - Stained Glass Window

02 - She Is P

03 - Parallax Radio

04 - Valeridon Beat-Bop

05 - Finity

06 - Maynard

07 - Cable Convolution

08 - My Heterotopia

09 - Fiz

10 - Excused

11 - Talgyha

12 - Deep Dive

13 - I Look Upon

14 - Nocturnal Roundabout

15 - I Will Get It Tattooed

16 - At The Embankment

17 - Key To The Lock

18 - House of Abin'adab

19 - So I Says

20 - Helukshnicht

21 - Cement

22 - Playtime

23 - Glacier Meltdown

24 - Nod

25 - Arrange Me Strange

26 - Theo's Piece

27 - Petua

28 - Davie Addison

29 - It's How You Move

30 - Aspheric Universe

31 - Czar

32 - Drone Pattern

33 - Onwards, Jetta

34 - White Van

35 - Wheat Dreams

Thanks. Looking over those I don't believe they're authentic - they sound like someone trying to think up BoC like names, rather than names BoC would choose. Though you never know...

Yeah, I've seen the infamous fakes flying about: 'Lavender Trapezoids', and things like that.

Anyway, yeah, I have my suspicions about their authenticity...but I've gotten so used to associating the tracks with those names, that I just tend to real 'em off.

Oh well...if they are authentic, then that's great.

If not...well, it's easier for me to remember those titles, rather than refer to a song as 'Track X'.

Yeah those names do seem pretty fan-made. Yet, i don't know, i've never seen those titles before, yet they're more like excluded tracks from Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2.

Hmm, I'm also rather suspicious of those names. Even esoteric BoC names usually are a references to something, yet Talgyha and Helukshnicht (a combination of inuit and german?) have no hits on Google, and Valeridon has just one which is a typo for Philippe Saisse's album Valerian.

Hmm...they're most probably fake, then.

Intriguing, nonetheless.

1. Olson

2. An Eagle In Your Mind

3. Orange Romeda

4. Tears From The Compound Eye

5. Whitewater

6. Pete Standing Alone

7. Poppy Seed Remix

8. Sunshine Recorder

9. Happy Cycling

10. Everything You Do Is A Balloon

Where exactly did you get your copy from, anyway? What's the bitrate and stereo mode (stereo vs joint stereo)?

i realize we have these list things on a regular basis (perhaps too regular), but i can't recall having seen one in the past year ... plus the TCH tracks will surely change any top 10 list (it changed mine, at least). also i think we should allow remixes, old tunes stuff, and the short 'bridge' tracks, but i leave this up to each of you in making your own lists. well:

 

 

 

1. slow this bird down

2. in a beautiful place out in the country

3. broken drum remix

4. kid for today

5. dayvan cowboy

6. julie and candy

7. olson

8. left side drive

9. everything you do is a balloon

10. aquarius

Mine are:

1. Olson

2. Last Walk Around Mirror Lake (remix)

3. A is to B as B is to C (reversed)

4. Everything You Do is a Balloon

5. Satellite Anthem Icarus

6. Buckie High

7. An Eagle in Your Mind

8. Amo Bishop Roden

9. Dayvan Cowboy

10. Macquarie Ridge

Alright, folks, there's been a bit of a (confusing) development:

I compared the track durations on Fredd-e's site to those that I have on my system, and there were some inconsistencies.

I found the 'Untitled' version of 'Old Tunes Vol 1.' on Soulseek, and some songs on it were different to the ones that I had (I'm assuming that these are the files that you guys have?).

Anyway, there were four tracks that were different.

I'll post 'em up here to see if any of you can identify them.

Interesting... check to see if the oddballs seem to come from the same rip as the rest (i.e. consistent bitrate, stereo, similar id3 tags).

Apologies for the double post (wouldn't let me edit my other message for some reason).

They're all pretty small in size and length (bitrates vary, too):

First is Orange Romeda. Genuine BoC track.

Others don't ring any bells, probably fake. The energy warning one may just be that track, but fucked with by someone.
