Old Tunes Vols 1 & 2..

Compound Eye  Pro User  says:

A while back I was Googling on BOC and links to share sites claiming to have MP3s of early unreleased BOC material came up.

Some listed the material as 'Some Old Tunes', others as 'Old Tunes Vols 1 & 2'.

Sadly none of the links were active anymore. So maybe someone trodd all over these sites for legal reasons..?

Has anyone actually heard this stuff? Is it any good?

Rumour has is that 'I love my new shears' is an amazing track. Other sources say the tracks are rough and rather like the BOC Maxima tunes that were dropped from 'Music has the right to chidren'.

I'd like to hear and decide for myself, but whether that wil ever happen..

I managed to download most of said old material, but it took a long time. Filesharing networks are a minefield of fake and mislabled tracks.

I Love My New Shears is not quite in the 'amazing' catagory, but it's alright. I found some of the darker tracks, such as Rodox Video, a lot more interesting. 5-9-78 is a good track, I'm surprised it didn't make it on to the EPs or Music Has The Right To Children. It did sound similar to another BOC track but I can't remember which one.

Hmm.. any chance we could work out some kind of CD burn favour..?

Rodox Video, sleazy slurred looping track is on BOC Maxima.. and I know what you mean - Chinook is also a good track from BOCM.

hi, yeah i have all of this stuff! if you want to get hold of it, download the p2p client Soulseek, you'll find many people sharing it
also, here is a guide to make sure you get exactly what is out there, as there are some people that don't have them complete.

re: soulseek, make sure you go to slsknet.org and not any other variant of the name, as some unscrupulous buggers bought up the doamin name a while ago and will try to install some spyware-type shite on your computer.

be cautious of some "rare" BOC material floating around soulseek/etc. I've downloaded some random stuff that wasn't or seemed to not be BOC at all.

Old Tunes 1&2 is quite enjoyable.
