| − | * "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".

| |
| − | Doorways up and down the hall<br />
| |
| − | Wonder what's behind them all<br />
| |
| − | Doors that lead to anywhere<br />
| |
| − | Got to A, B, C, what's there<br />
| |
| − | Got to A, B, C, decide<br />
| |
| − | Where's the door I haven't tried<br />
| |
| − | A, B, C, D, East and West<br />
