Fredd-E Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) Original topic: http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2765 billholding said: Forgive me if I am going over already covered ground, but I think I may have stumbled across an authentic version of Closes. I know that plenty of BOC fans have been wound up by the relentless circulation of fakes, i.e. the likes of "Hooper Bay" which was just edited "Christ" tracks, and like everybody else my first though is bullshit, but on listening it might just stand a chance of being a leak of the real thing. My reasons for having slightly more faith in this one are as follows... 1: the track names & numbers seem to tally (I know this is also the case with fakes so stick with me) 2: some of the tracks ARE definitely BOC, parts of which have cropped up on later releases/leaks like "A Few Old Tunes", but most interesting of all is track 14 "Numerator Original" which is what sounds like an early version of ROYGBIV. Yes it could be a fake version, but if it is, my hats off to them, because it really does sound like BOC, and what they would have sounded like in their earlier years, before they had become more accomplished. 3: the rest of the tracks really do sound like it could also be them, especially with the sketchiness of the short fragment or insert tracks. I think if anyone was trying to fake it, they would have tried harder if that makes any sense? 4: I have been listening to BOC relentlessly since before MHTRTC was released, and I have had many fakes sent to me by people saying they have found something I don't have, and in most cases could simply tell by listening to them that something was amiss, but this one just instinctively feels more legit. Somebody put a comment underneath it saying it is fake, but I am not so sure for the above reasons (I know I could well be wrong though), and to dismiss it because parts of it crop up on “A Few Old Tunes” is a bit naïve considering they ARE old tunes! Anyway it is discussed here… >>>> http://nodatta.blogspot.com/2007/06/boards...oses-vol-1.html <<<<< I expect on hearing it many of you would probably think gullible twat, and maybe its one that has done the rounds already and I just missed the boat (haven’t checked this site for ages!). Anyway, if anybody is interested or knows more info on Closes then I would be interested to hear their views. There's a download link at http://nodatta.blogspot.com/2007/06/boards...oses-vol-1.html but I'm not at home right now so I can't check which fake it is. It might be something nice.

Who says the following information from that blog is correct? Quote Fake! This is fake, it is not Closes Vol 1. This is just a mixture of different BoC tracks from different albums (mostly from A Few Old Tunes). No known copies of Closes Vol 1 exist. Posted by John | 6:59 AM It's posted by some John.. who says he tells the truth? Why do you trust the internets that much? If everything I've read on the internets was true then I would've been a gazillionair with multiple penor enlargements!

Guest WuLiAnalog Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Yeah. A few days ago i caught a few tunes flying around. they include: visul drone 12 from catalogue 3, closes vol. 1 songs, and play by numbers songs. + some old tunes i've never heard before. + most of them sound BoCish. acid memories "duffy". I might post links cuz they sound good. i'd say a good litter of 20 new songs to my ear. I think this is "Numerator" from Boards of Canada's Play By Numbers EP: http://www.yousendit.com/download/elNJYUovYWI5NVUwTVE9PQ Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/23863-closes-volume-1-real/#findComment-507278 Share on other sites More sharing options...
