Somebody sold the VHS tape they got for 1000 dollars: https://www.discogs.com/release/36993321-Boards-Of-Canada-Untitled

Would you do the same if you got a tape and someone was willing to give you a 1000 dollars for it?

Ourgirl is on it.

No one remembers TH because of the music, and the same thing will happen to this new album.
>>
This lead single in contrast against Reach for the Dead is quite stark. Both of them start out ominous, but where Reach for the Dead goes full dystopia this sounds hopeful

Crying tears of joy this morning. RIP all those who didn't make it see this day. This is special. This moment. This tune. This duo. And all of us fans. I cherish you all.

>>130006314
I'd tell them the $1000 tape sold already. This is the $2000 tape. Pony up or walk on.

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bghDcbzfEU
ehhhhhh its not very interesting is it
I mean its not awful but 13 years is a long tome to wait for some bland, floaty semi-ambient
>>
>>130007737
I think it sounds lavley anon
I do want some heavier stuff from them at some point (think 1969) rather than TH which was pretty mid range but I absolutely love their floaty semi ambient stuff (Tears From the Compound Eye is in my top 10) so it was nigh on perfect for me.

Tape 05 kinda reminds me of 3 other pieces all melded together

what is that harp like instrument in tape05? It's not a straight up harp right? First thought was a guzheng but it sounds deeper than that.
>>
So when is the album dropping?
>>130007861
To me it sounds digital, not like a real instrument
>>
>>130007888
you reckon? Would chime with what they've said in the past about sourcing different instruments/equipment just for a small part in a track, and I'm hoping this is less rigidly digital as TH was, a big TCH lover.

tape 5 reminded me more of this if you removed the beat and slowed it down

I'm a little surprised this hasn't dropped as a full blown official single yet, it still only exists as a video.

I believe so anon. One of the other BoC reactors isn't though, so there's officially only one XX BoC fan in the world at this time

theories about the Tape 05 thing? LP5 is the most obvious guess, it is a peculiar name

Aphex Twin >>>> Squarepusher >>>> Autechre >>>> literal dogshit >>>> BoC.
Seriously, they haven't released anything good since TCH.

>>130008531
they've released one album since TCH you dumb fuck. And Tomorrow's Harvest is better than TCH
>>
>>130008531
Autechre is better than all of them in every possible way. A Sean morning fart is better than all of what these have produced in recent times.

This time I agree with you.

if that's how you prefer to be known anon I shall refer to anyone coming in here sperging about Autechre when nobody asked as "turd". we're an inclusive lot in here

half of Autechre's stuff is just aleatoric Max noodling bullshit. at least the others haven't forgotten how to write a melody

melody is obsolete

>>130006314
I wouldn't because I'm a huge fan and I don't need $1000. At the same time, I wouldn't pay $1000 for one.

They control what their System produces. They just don't press Play, hit Record and let it go on its own.
If you don't believe it, you can check the demos Sean posted online.

Another example, feed1 from elseq 1
The basic assumption is that the bass drums and kicks are random but it's not true. Take a listen and read:

A very insightful take coming from "fans" of a duo known for their love for maths and similar topics.

I like both BoC and Autechre though. They have different approaches to making music and aren't really comparable.
