[[Random 35 Tracks Tape]] (real name unknown) refers to a collection of 35 tracks leaked on P2P networks around September 2004. Unlike other "[[Old Tunes]]" tapes, the tracks are completely unlabeled; however, a few match known tracks from other sources, including commercial releases. No liner notes or tape scan have ever surfaced.<br />
<br />
Despite its uncertain provenance, the tape is generally believed to be authentic.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
*''[[Random 35 Tracks Tape]]'' seems to be sourced from a cassette tape containing a (presumably) hand-selected set of pre-[[BoC Maxima]] tracks. The leaking of these tracks to P2P networks ([http://www.slsknet.org Soulseek], originally) provided much drama on [[WATMM]].<br />
**All files are encoded as 320kbps MP3.<br />
* For a long time, it was assumed that this tape was the missing ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 1]]'' (since ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'' and ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 2]]'' were already known), although this was never confirmed. This was finally proven false when, on 08 Aug 2009, [[Twoism forum]] member dealer posted new photos of a cassette and liner notes showing the [[A Few Old Tunes]] and [[Old Tunes Vol. 1]] were, in fact, the same release.<br />
*[[MDG]] has said that it is not known who compiled the tracks, calling it "a mystery, just a mixture".<br />
<br />
== Discovery ==<br />
These tracks appear to have first surfaced on [http://www.slsknet.org Soulseek] under various names, such as "random 35 tracks tape (rarities and the best of - not old tunes v1 or v2)" and "A Few Older Tunes Disc 1/Disc 2", reflecting the uncertainty of the collection's provenance.

== Comments ==<br />
* "[[Dayvan Cowboy]]" is considered by many to be [[Boards of Canada]]'s first mainstream single.<br />
* This song was remixed by [[Wikipedia:Odd Nosdam|Odd Nosdam]] on the [[Trans Canada Highway]] EP. It was the first remix of [[Boards of Canada]] to appear on any of their releases.<br />
* One of the tracks on the bootleg "[[Random 35 Tracks Tape]]" seems to be an early version of this song.<br />
<br />
== Video ==<br />
* A video for "[[Dayvan Cowboy]]" was released as a promo DVD, included with Warpmart pre-orders of the ''[[Trans Canada Highway]]'' EP. For more information, see [[Videos]].<br />
* The first half of the video shows footage of [[Wikipedia:Joseph Kittinger|Captain Joseph Kittinger]]'s skydiving from the ''Excelsior III'', a gondola raised by balloons to 102,800 feet as part of [[Wikipedia:Project Excelsior|Project Excelsior]] (a series of record-breaking dives from high-altitude). Captain Kittinger fell for 14 minutes and 36 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 614 mph before opening his parachute at 18,000 feet.<br />
* The second half of the video shows footage of big-wave surfer [[Wikipedia:Laird Hamilton|Laird Hamilton]].<br />
*The final scene of the sun setting was taken from the surfing documentary [[imdb:Crystal Voyager|Crystal Voyager]].<br />
