    Can't wait for an extended mix of sorts for Palace Posy - wish the end went on longer - Split Your Infinities might be my favorite right now

    I've listened to this entire album 5 times now in proper headphones and I am beyond thrilled this exists!

    For whatever reason, today I spun the album in it's intended 33rpm but then decided to spin it again doing 45 and it sounded really fucking cool.

    this is one of those cases where the vinyl copy sounds magically better than any digital version I've found

    The most cohesive album Boards of Canada have ever produced. I feel like it is their masterwork. Something builds and develops throughout the album like a story unfolding. It's ominous, mysterious and even sad. The main theme reappears throughout the album.... Like the alien conspiracy on x files before it got cheesy.

    this is the third album i've felt this way about this year (the other two being ...Like Clockwork by QOTSA and Shaking The Habitual by The Knife): it is perfect. it flows seamlessly from beginning to end, and i feel changed when i come out the other side.

    like ...Like Clockwork (but unlike Shaking The Habitual), the artwork is incredibly gorgeous, and all three also sound fantastic on vinyl.

    Boards of Canada

    I've yet to listen to BOC, I'll lend my ear to them in a bit after I get set up at work.

    These guys are from my hometown...

    i don't know if i'd recommend starting with the new album...maybe start with campfire headphase, work backwards, and then listen to the new album.

    i'm back on this thread after a few months of listening to this album. it's great, but challenging...a little hard to listen to in a way, like Geogaddi. But it's rewarding. Anyway i wanted to ask if you guys think the album tells a story, and if so, what is the story about?

    I think it does. I think it's about some sort of apocalypse and what the few survivors do in the aftermath. i can just SEE it.

    I was listening to Tomorrow's Harvest while reading Do Android's Dream of Electric Sheep and it went with the book really well.

    Geogaddi's Gyroscope was used for a very creepy effect in the horror film Sinister.
    It was fucking awesome.

    For someone who REALLY hates modern horror films, I thought that film was actually pretty good.

    no doubt.

    i LOVE horror films, but they have to be fucking PERFECT.

    try occulus, berberian sound studio, the conjuring, insidious, here comes the devil, mama....there are some good ones inbetween the bullshit.

    Some new Boards of Canada. Even if it's just a remix I hope it inspires them to make a new album.

    I wonder if anyone in the world has the first demos of their music and is willing to share them online, heard it's extremely rare to get a hold of them to buy and also stream nowadays. Any thoughts/theories?

    hey @BRoswell : i've a funny story about Doseone/Subtle and BoC. I saw Subtle in an obscure club with about 60 people in it, in Dallas, in 07 or so.

    And, after the show, i walked up to meet the "live pa man/dj" guy in the group, Gel.
    This was my first experience with Anticon ANYTHING. SO, i say to Gel: Man, you're REALLY badass. I love the music you're making. You know like, Boards of Canada..." and he cut me off saying, "Oh yeah, i know those guys. I just saw them a couple weeks ago."
    I meant "you know boards of canada" as in "have you HEARD Boards of Canada," and was going to suggest that his work reminded me of them

    I was fucking stunned, lol. That was one hell of a flex.

    Out of respect for the secrecy, i just said "word, killer. You sound a bit like those guys," and didn't ask him any BoC questions- plus, i was 27, and wanted to seem I-C-E cold. A pretty girl had asked ME out to this particular show, so, i wasn't gonna fanboy over ANYTHING, you know? :P

    SO!

    Remixed by Boards of Canada- NOT Hell Interface.

    Could we be seeing another BoC LP soon?

    Good god, i hope so. And i hope it's not as fucking GRIM as the last one. I utterly adore everything they've ever put out, but Tomorrow's Harvest is just fucking depressing on another level.

    Cool story! Also, I highly recommend listening to the other Nevermen remix they did back when the album came out in 2016.
