The track "[[Eno Test & Parson|Eno Test]]" is listed on http://www.bradleysalmanac.com/tradelist.htm as part of a 3 disc Stereolab bootleg named B-Sides Collected.

| − | Sufficient information now exists to build a historical narrative of this track: Marumari created it circa 2000, likely named it "Eno Test", and never gave it an official release. The track wound up on file sharing networks and bootleg audio discs, where it gained a life of its own. It's unknown where the two versions of the track came from, it can only be assumed that they were created and released into the world concurrently. The track spread and was given different names, including "Stry Craty Bya". It was only when the compilation "We Bore" was being created that the track was given the name "Submarine Tactics" by its creator, which is the closest thing it has to an official, sanctioned identity. | + | Sufficient information now exists to build a historical narrative of this track: Marumari created it circa 2000, likely named it "Eno Test", and never gave it an official release.
