Tracks

Lost Files came first, with nine tracks posted by Brayden Smith in July 2019. A year later aa llaa posted Laika, seventeen tracks compiled by BIGSHOTJAMES from a private folder.

Nine recordings appear on both. Three keep the same title, the one called Untitled on Lost Files is Decline Sequel on Laika, and the other five sit inside two larger files. Each list below marks the tracks that share a file with others, and a section after them names those files.

Lost Files

Laika

bootleg, 2 Oct 2020, confirmed

BIGSHOTJAMES bootleg, with tracks split from a private folder. It went through YouTube's 131 kbps Opus, so it is not a master.

17 tracks, listed as they appear on the file. Open the entry.

Files that hold more than one track

Two files on Lost Files hold more than one track, and Laika splits both. Mostly Trash, which Peter released in 2015, runs three tracks back to back, and they are Dirt Boss, Queen Lena and Duane Vs. Big Nurse. Test Patterns - White Lodge runs two, and they are Test Patterns and White Lodge.

Two more titles name two pieces each, Kicker - Hold Tight and Gated Synth Draft - Glimmer. A pause of about a second sits inside both files, at 1:27 and 1:43, which suggests a break, but no second copy exists to confirm it.

Where the audio came from

Sanpaku Island, Mostly Trash and Dreadful John also exist as the 2015 MediaFire files, and the copies in Lost Files decode to exactly the same samples, difference zero. The upload kept Peter's files. Nothing was re-encoded on the way.

Laika is the 2020 video split into tracks. Each MP3 matches the 40m02.77 upload at the offsets the tracklist implies, with no gaps and no overlaps, so it is a lossy copy of a lossy copy. Its Reckless is missing the first 3.74 s.

What the folder held

The upload is not seventeen separate files laid end to end. Audio runs without a break across nine of the sixteen boundaries. The other seven have a silence of 0.7 to 2.0 seconds. What is left is eight blocks.

• Acid Rain and Bad Ugly
• Creepy Crawling VIP
• Decline Sequel
• Dirt Boss, Dreadful John and Duane Vs. Big Nurse
• Glimmer Sequel, Human Mask, Queen Lena and Reckless
• Sanpaku Island
• Test Patterns
• Triple Nine Volt, Two Tracks, What Day and White Lodge

If each block came from one file, the folder held eight files of about five minutes. If the silences were inserted when the video was made, it held one file per track, seventeen. Peter's own releases point to the first reading. The 2015 file Mostly Trash is three pieces in one file, and the last file of Lost Files holds two tracks. So somewhere between eight and seventeen files, and closer to eight.

Shared tracks

Levels match within 0.1 dB and correlation runs from 0.949 to 0.989, so these are the same masters. What changes is where each copy starts, 87 ms on Dreadful John, 166 ms on Sanpaku Island, and 3.74 s on Reckless, where the Laika copy begins inside the recording and never has the opening.

Test Patterns is complete on both and starts 0.24 s later in the upload. White Lodge is complete only on Laika. The Lost Files file keeps 82 of its 108 seconds, from 4.5 s in, because it runs Test Patterns and White Lodge together, 108 seconds and then 84.

I lined each pair up on the first strong onset before measuring, and compared only aligned audio. LUFS is measured over the whole file. There is no original master to compare against. Measurements from 13 November 2026.
