Societas x Tape

Strange coincidence I bumped into the other day: that "Leo the Lizard" thing was rolling around in my head, and I realized that "Leo Lizard" is an anagram for "Leo Szilard", one of the theoretical physicists who realized the importance of the role of neutrons in nuclear fission. 

I know it's not intentional, but I have very few people to share this silliness with, so I subject you, dear reader, to that. Sorry. 

I'm afraid that is not true.

Sorry, a near anagram. Leo Lizards is close.

? (synth, ambient) (1:31:28)

Yeah that's the one I wanna hunt for too - Like an super minimal version of a JMJ track from the 70s. Love the sound of a slow phasing VP330 (or whatever String Synth it is)

 ? (strings) (1:54:51)  - that's a sensational piece. Sounds a little like Tomita. Heavenly.

How was Interlude (The Elegants - Little Star) (1:48:00) identified as that?

They were a doo-wop band from the 50s. Looking that song up on YouTube doesn't sound remotely like the Societas X piece.

Reverse it, it'll still sound pretty smooshed but you'll recognize the tune.

Ah, I didn't think of that. Love that section of the tape.

The 'other' drone one at around 57mins got found but I believe the one at 1h 31mins is still MIA

Still listening to this. I love the fact that there are still 1 or 2 short things from this mix that haven't been located yet, it's been fun following the people hunting for the credits to te tracks on this thing.

Also still listening to this quite a bit. It's probably my favourite thing of the year. I discovered so many new artists thanks to this eclectic mix. Kudos to BOC - they have immaculate taste.

The Other Stranger and Associations are amazing track discoveries for me. I need to listen to this mix again since hearing this live and commentating about it on Twoism was an awesome memory. So much goodies sprinkled in here

was super disappointed at first because well, no new BOC, but this mix is now one of my highlight of the year, new BOC 2020 pls !!!

It was, by far, the highlight of the whole weekend. 

Some total gems in this mix. I’ve been compelled to investigate and purchase the work of These Trails, Flayer, Colourbox, and Severed Heads so far!

Yeah when I think of the best of 2019 I still instantly think of this + Aquaphoria, and struggle to think of much really "new" music this year.

And I think both the piano track near the beginning and the thing around 90 minutes that sounds like Vangelis asleep at the wheel of his Blade Runner setup are still unidentified.

Totally missed Aquaphoria, def going to check out after seeing the tracklist

We didn't get any new BOC per se, but we did get an excellent example of their musical tastes and putting together a good mix.

It's so good I'd consider it an album where they took sampling to another level.

Many on reddit are certain this is an original track from them...

hmm reddit isnt really a legitimate source for information like that though lol (not that watmm is but hey)

Reddit is no different than here.  Just a bunch of uninformed fans takes stabs in the dark!

It is odd though that this track hasn't been identified.  It doesn't strike me as some deep cut of library music so you'd think it would have been identified by now.

damn, I love this mixtape.

Ya, this is still dope. Perfect mix to take a walk around a lake or something on a sunny day.
