IDM may be a pretentious worldwide >cabal, but it is a cabal nonetheless. what official discographies? the cosmic crofter one was the only one and i was always under the impression that it was only semi-official (ie boc recognized it and got in touch about it but never actually were involved directly). it could be that BoC just e-mailed one day like 'oh yeah, we also put out this 12"' contrary to popular belief, semi-official websites are often more 'semi' than 'offical'. and for that matter, NOBODY mentioned Boc Maxima or Twoism before 1997 or whenever the BOC site went up. yet we now know Twoism does exist. >Another note on these being potentially fake releases is the Cosmic Crofter's >harsh denial of tape requests due to lack of time.
