''Hooper Bay'' was purportedly an EP by Boards of Canada, issued in both vinyl and cassette formats. The title refers to the small city of that name in Alaska, and all track titles on the album share a similar Alaskan theme.〔()〕 Only 200 copies were to have been produced and although none have publicly surfaced, an excerpt roughly 35 seconds long of the track "Circle" was held on a website hosting material from group, showcasing a melancholy kind of ambient music similar to that of the band's following release. The site has since gone down, though the sample has since been upload to YouTube. Mislabeled MP3 files claiming to be copies of Hooper Bay are in wide circulation on peer to peer networks, but are understood to be fakes. As with other rare Boards of Canada releases, some of these fakes are mostly mislabeled tracks by other musicians and bands. For example, "Geiser" is actually the experimental Icelandic group múm's "Smell Memory", and "Seward Leaf" is "Slow Bicycle", another múm track. Track 7 from the ''Live @ ATP'' performance is often believed to be Noatak, due to a process voice saying something sounding phonetically similar throughout the song, a latter half containing dark ambient sounds akin to that of "Circle", as well as a similar track length. In 2015, it was discovered that a particular episode of Sesame Street containing possibly all segments of the show that would be sampled for years to come features two segments about Alaska which were filmed in the CDP of Noatak. The exact significance of this location to the band remains unknown. ==Track listing== # "Seward Leaf" - 7:02 # "Geiser" - 5:15 # "Circle" - 2:37 # "Noatak" - 8:40 # "Point Hope" - 7:15 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hooper Bay (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
