+ | |||
+ | == Fakes == | ||
+ | * Many albums which purport to be other rare releases are commonplace too, but almost without exception, these have proven to be fakes of varying qualities so far. | ||
+ | ** Among the fakes, the most common are [[eno test]] and [[parson]], wrongly taken to be by [http://www.discogs.com/artist/Marumari Marumari] and [[Boards of Canada|BoC]], whereas they are by [http://www.discogs.com/artist/Marumari Marumari] alone. A few other such mis-labelled tracks go around from time to time. Other fakes: a longer version of [[circle]] which sounds nothing like the genuine short extract. [[trillions]] (3:31) is a fake, as is [[treeline]] '(1:12). | ||
+ | ** Another set of fake MP3s that went around were called [[nskino]], ''gridlock'', [[lavender trapezoids]], [[golden hinterland]], [[rhomboid]], and maybe some more. We've been told that these are mislabelled tracks by [http://www.discogs.com/artist/CiM CiM] [[nskino]] is really ''disco alta'', [[rhomboid]] is really ''isempty'', and so on (thanks, MCBPete). With any luck, the fakes will eventually stop being labelled as [[Boards of Canada|BoC]]. | ||
+ | ** A recent fake that surfaced is the track ''Sur Round'' [http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4388], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNouwiE8rRA]--[[User:Fredd-E|Fredd-E]] 15:00, 25 August 2008 (CEST) | ||

The works released under the HI name are: remixes of [[Colonel Abrahams - Trapped|Colonel Abrahams' Trapped]] and of [[Midnight Star - Midas Touch|Midnight Star's Midas Touch]], and a strange little speech-only track called [[The Story of Xentrix]]. Can this last track be described as a remix? Most of the speech seems to be synthesized; however, the last few words sound rather different - perhaps from another source (just speculation). |
There used to be link here to an animated trailer here, for a program called "Zentrix", which was taken down after a while. By request, here it is again (be aware that the trailer is not necessarily related to the Hell Interface track, except by the similarity of names).
