== Alpha Quest Mix ==
*''Roygbiv - [[Alphaquest]] Mix'' was a remix done by [[Boards of Canada|BoC]] specially for someone called Andy Soosay's student film. The track was leaked onto the net and is understood to be genuine. It's longer than the original at 6:23. The mix begins with the track ''[[Bocuma]]'' in its entirety. It's backed up by images of the actual DAT inlay which contains nuggets such as "Custom DIY job for Andy Soosay", "Date Time: Thursday 15th May 1997", "SOURCE: Brown source or tomato source" and "COMMENTS: Yeah, it's pretty good".
* Additional words in the Alpha Quest mix are as follows:
<blockquote>
Doorways up and down the hall 
Wonder what's behind them all? 
Doors that lead to anywhere 
Got to A, B, C what's there 
Got to A, B, C, Decide 
Where's the door I haven't tried? 
A, B, C, D, East and West 
Going on an Alphaquest!"''
</blockquote>
