I have a story to tell.

Once there was a boy who had a large dog. The dog was called Xentrix. (SLYT)

Hell Interface is "an alias used by Boards of Canada for a handful of released tracks. These songs tend to be more bizarre and unorthodox than their normal releases" as described by the source for everything BoC , which comes as no ordinary feat, considering their usage of number station samples (previously), Branch Davidian references or desert listening parties.

The enigmatic brothers released other three known tracks under this moniker, including a reworking of the 1985 Coronel Adams dance single that reached top 10 in the UK Trapped (also an allegedly earlier version from A Few Old Tunes), The Midas Touch (also a reworking of an 80's dance single, this time Midnight Star's 1986 single of the same name) and the Christmas "carol" Soylent Night.

A nitpick: I don't think the SLYT is warranted. That refers to the whole post, as far as I know. Perhaps I'll take it to MeTa later...

I'm surprised I'd never heard of the Mask 200 version of Trapped. Top points for the overview.

Ah, crap. I added it before finishing, but there was something bugging me about it.

I also had barely listened to it before writing this post, too. Mask200 is a lot rarer than A Few Old Tunes (in the sense it is a compilation, not some sort of treasure trove of early BoC pretty much every fan gets their hands on), it's also a lot harsher.
