: This refers to the Free Lossless Audio Codec , a high-fidelity audio format. The album is available in this quality through various high-resolution releases, including a 2015 Remaster (24-bit/192kHz) and several expanded editions.

In the golden age of peer-to-peer sharing (2000s era Oink, What.CD, and private torrent trackers), users often used geographic aliases to anonymize their rips. A user named "Kitlope_Ripper" or "Coastal_Rainforest" might have uploaded a pristine, EAC-verified (Exact Audio Copy) FLAC rip of the 1985 CD. The filename stuck.

Why 1985 specifically? Because original pressings (first-edition CDs and vinyl) have a different dynamic range than the loudness-war compressed remasters of the 1990s and 2000s. Collectors argue that the 1985 dynamic range (DR) is superior, offering deeper bass response and less clipping.

At first glance, it appears to be a random assemblage of words: a Norwegian synth-pop band, their debut album, a lossless audio codec, and a tiny, unincorporated community in the coastal rainforest of British Columbia, Canada. Yet, for a dedicated subset of audiophiles and 1980s collectors, this phrase represents the Holy Grail.
