Guest sirch Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 that's why more people should make BoC tribute/rip off tracks. :) like somebody said before, some of the fakes are better than the real thing!

mcbpete Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 http://www.brainchops.net/2010/10/boards-of-canada-chameleon-2010-single.html Quote "Chameleon", a track illegitimately released on iTunes using the Boards of Canada name was previously released as a single on the now defunct label Artificial Bliss by Nick Baxter a.k.a. Skeptical. In this thread started by user skept (Skeptical himself) on the Black Dog Towers message board, it was pointed out that the track is in the Boards of Canada style, to which skept replies, "with the boc thing... yes there is a bit of shenanigans going on there, but i'll not go into it!" It has not yet been confirmed who actually submitted the bogus track to iTunes for release. YouTube user MrWhitelabel who posted the Chameleon track on the video hosting site in October of last year as if it were a BoC work, also posted another track by Skeptical from a separate release calling it Boards of Canada - Red Sky Night. Amidst the confusion within that video's comments, nickb523 (Nick Baxter a.k.a. Skeptical) chimes in with, "try looking for Skeptical: Red Sky Night". When another commenter asks, "why is this dude saying it's BOC?", MrWhitelabel replies, "nowadays it's harder than ever for good indie artists to reach the right people. ;)" Releasing fake tracks to capitalize on the success of other artists is not unheard of within the electronic music making community, but the hoaxes don't often quite go this far. It is still unclear how this track slipped through the iTunes screening process, how many downloads have been sold, or what the recourse will be.

Dragon Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I just saw a post about this on Facebook... I got all worked up about a potential new BoC release... and the first thing I did was come to the BoC subforum for confirmation. It'll be ages before I settle down now. Fuck you, whoever made this fake.

fumi Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Hi guys, Mike here. Just wanted to let you all know that this whole 'Chameleon' thing is draining us. Having to deal with this shit means less time making music. We know it's been a while but things are coming together at last. Marcus is upstairs tinkering with the hi-hats.
