It's like the xltvibes but it's miles ahead of it ;)

That's odd... I haven't heard any error reports after the installation of the new tracker software. There have been several dozen of OoT torrent downloads so far...
What kind of torrent program are you using?

torrentflux.. a web interface that uses bittorrent as a client, i believe.
i don't think it has logs either, so i can't figure out what;'s going wrong.
i got the cue version, but the cuefile doesn't work :/ (foobar2000)

You seem to be lucky eh.
I bet foobar is having difficulties with the INDEX 00, here you can download an edited version. This one should work.

Am I the only one that finds this entire release, the idea of it, the sound of it, to be complete and total rubbish?
Does the approach of admitting and intentionally trying to sound like another artist instead of claiming it to be their unique artistic artistic change anything? No.
Infact I think it makes things all the more laughable. I might have been able to enjoy this if I had never heard Boards of Canada before. But all I could do while listening was laugh to myself "oh, look, he made that synth all wobbly and bocish. whats that.. a bocy beat? all we need now is a windly fluty interlude, oh, there it is!"

I was going to say something like that, I even started typing it, but I thought it'd just be more dog_belch intesinal gas in the wind and best left unsaid. But you said it without recourse to swearing and from a more respectable position, and all the more convincingly for it. Under fractionally different circumstances I'd marry you.

Being inspired by Boards of Canada doesn't mean it necessarily have to sound like BoC. A fair amount of songs do have a BoCish sound for sure.
I bet you think the same way about Vsnares as he obviously was inspired by Afx.
I've seen this point of view several times before, like Clark inspired by Afx, The Flasbulb by various IDM artists, Freescha by BoC and so on. I personally like to hear the influence of a certain artist, some don't.
I can't imagine a world where no one was influenced by something, particularly not with art.

Alright, so this album, comprised of artists inspired by boards of canada, that all reside on a boards of canada messageboard, set out to make an album that sounds like boards of canada. what were you saying again?

I'm desperate for something new to listen to, so I nabbed this (via the torrent), and found it surprisingly nice. I'm not too much of a boc fanatic (that fact could bias either way). Thanks for posting it.

I'll note that it has lots of weak tracks, but I don't care, so nearly all of my recent downloads in this jaded phase are honestly painful.

you could also think of it as a tribute. no need to hate.
aesthetics:
while the mixing is (near) flawless as ever, most of the songs need a bit longer to sink in for me.
I'll 'review' this after repeated listens. Some instant gems though, like the piano piece.

The song you are talking about is a composition by Saturday Index, called Satin Window. It caught my attention right away as well, lovely piece!
The goal was the emphasize the songs rather than emphasize the mix or being a flawless mix. Most of the songs are in there for 100% of its original length so no cutting or transformation whatsoever was applied. I consider it a crossfaded compilation de luxe.
I'm looking forward to your 'review' :)

I did listen to it for about 15 minutes, and I thought it was ok, but then it just sounds sickly and I couldn't face the lies anymore.. there is something wrong with an hour and half of BOC-inspired tunes that all wish they were actually by BOC. It's interesting too that the only period of BOC inspiration is the period up to MHTRTC, there's no Campfire Headphase style influence apparent.
This is the BOC equivalent of Harry Potter fan fiction, and I don't think that's all that clever either. Sorry.
