I was thinking to myself in the shower how almost all BOC Maxima tracks are seen on other albums or releases. I then considered how I also have the ability to get rid of the hiss in the tracks exclusive to BOC Maxima, and then thought "Hey, why not make an HQ revision of it where I replace each song with it's HQ version that is found on another release, and remaster the exclusive tracks myself?"

So I did that, took around 3 hours to get the full thing right. For the exclusive tracks like Niagara, Red Moss, Concourse and Whitewater, I used the 2013 russian FLAC rip to get a decent sound.

Chinook was on the 1998 Aquarius Vinyl, so I found the best sounding rip of it that I could. However, the Aquarius Vinyl version of Chinook is different than the BOC Maxima version, as it cuts and turns into a more IDM-sounding thing than BoC's sound with extra glitchy drum breaks and etc.

For Rodox Video, I used a pretty HQ "studio mockup" version of Rodox Video, where it'd emulate the original track that the bros would use in albums.

For Nova Scotia Robots, I used brtc's remaster and extended it, seeing as how there are some points where the melody repeats and the voices die down, making it so I could cut it and extend it seamlessly into June 9th.

For Niagara I opted to just remaster it instead of use my remake. Getting Niagara's fade-in to sound natural was a bit of a task.

For Skimming Stones I also used brtc's remaster, and extended it the same way I did with Nova Scotia Robots.

For Red Moss I used a software called Stereo Tool to get rid of the hiss with as little artifacts as possible.

For Concourse I also used Stereo Tool, which got rid of all the hiss with no artifacts, quite insane.

For Carcan I used brtc's remaster and had to slow it down just a bit to get it to match the original BOC Maxima Carcan speed, and used a flac of Nlogax from the 2014 release from Hi Scores.

For M9 and Original Nlogax I used Smokes Quantity's remaster.

For Whitewater I also remastered that myself using Stereo Tool, came out pretty well, drums sounding lush without hiss.

For One Very Important Thought I also used Stereo Tool.

All of the exclusive songs were done using the 2013 rip like I said.
