Revision as of 20:59, 9 August 2009

Background

• Random 35 Track 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 (Soulseek, originally) provided much drama on WATMM.
  • All files are encoded as 320kbps MP3.

Discovery

These tracks appear to have first surfaced on SoulSeek under various names, such as "random 35 track 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. Early sightings include:

• 9 Sep 2004 - LiveJournal post
• 3 Oct 2004 - xltronic messageboard topic
• 8 Oct 2004 - idm-l post
