Somebody sold the VHS tape they got for 1000 dollars: https://www.discogs.com/release/36993321-Boards-Of-Canada-UntitledWould 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxLZIBGGCgY

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.
>>130006314I'd tell them the $1000 tape sold already. This is the $2000 tape. Pony up or walk on.
>>130007497Based mourner.
>>130007497the chuds may tell you its not manly to cry but you bawl away anon. I certainly felt emotion when I heard that chord change and the bass kick in for the first time x
>>130006228>picked the worst poster to start the thread withyou may have fucked up
>>130007680I was thinking that but it's been very good natured in her (other than the occasional tard flushing) so didn't want to say anything
>>130006228>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bghDcbzfEUehhhhhh its not very interesting is itI mean its not awful but 13 years is a long tome to wait for some bland, floaty semi-ambient
>>130007737I think it sounds lavley anonI 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 togetherhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c56t7upa8Bkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOCKc917XdAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RSVa_vF3NI
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?>>130007861To me it sounds digital, not like a real instrument
>>130007888you 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.
>>130007844also thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns7fNPiNiNc
>>130007946last minute of this is good shit, hadn't heard this in like 15 years
>>130007844What about this? I hear it clearly on Tape 5https://youtu.be/JIYO-aKkPss?si=Yvnx3xwdPtaQzt7D

>>130008000Checked. crazy digitsIs that a biological woman?
>>130007680I will correct myself by posting the top right one for the next general
>>1300080006 zeroes... 6 sides of a hexagon...
>>130007984tape 5 reminded me more of this if you removed the beat and slowed it downhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_ofW2TtsNE
I'm a little surprised this hasn't dropped as a full blown official single yet, it still only exists as a video.
>>130008044Bro
>>130008044I 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
The past inside the present.
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.
>>130008531tard
>>130008531they've released one album since TCH you dumb fuck. And Tomorrow's Harvest is better than TCH
>>130008531Autechre 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.
>>130008542This time I agree with you.
>>130008555tard
>>130008563Turd
>>130008605if 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
>>130008555half of Autechre's stuff is just aleatoric Max noodling bullshit. at least the others haven't forgotten how to write a melody
