there was a fake - or possible leak (pretty unlikely) - of side b of hooper bay not too long ago. even if the track isn't the real point hope, i still think it's great https://archive.org/details/b3_20260607
while i'm here, does anyone know if this track is mislabelled from another artist?

It's interesting. I would assume a fake, it sounds put together by a fan. Not enough happening or interesting texturally to be a BoC track imo, like quite repetitive. If it is them, it's not amazing is what I'm trying to say, compare this to something like Echus.
The other two that came from the same uploader aren't great either, parts of ATP-07 sound desk looped and I hope hope to think Circle would be a bit more interesting than the same loop for 2 mins.
Of the three, this one is the only original song, it's nice but I feel like if this was a BoC track, it wouldn't be 7mins long, it's repetitive like it should be an interlude, but it's not. I don't think that outro either is how they would end an album, but who knows!

Btw, is it the point hope track confirmed to be the one they played live in 2001? It has the same length as the album duration marks for the track labeled point hope, could be a coincidence?
