What are we saying BoCBros should I listen to this sober for the first time or blaze up a bunch of le dank herbage. Drop le acids... what are way sayin brethens

i don't like how grounded and punchy it sounds, it has some of my favorite BOC tracks but i don't like most of the album, maybe it will grow on me

>>130441180
>maybe a sticky too
There will be a sticky for the general when the album officially drops. I have sources that confirm this

>>130441132
While it is true that Inferno is vague in it's "message" but so was Geogaddi.
And after all wtf do you want them to say? God = gay? Praise Satan? Do what thou wilt?
It's a music album not a fucking unabomber manifesto.

Shut up this is the new thread now.

This is (Me). Someone told me to do K but I've never done it. Tried DXM once with weed and it enhanced audio processing like crazy tho

Tbqh I'll probably just be sober. I'll have to do one of those brain adjusting shroom trips and then blast it sober on da beach

>>130441229
they look like soijaks in this one. probably exactly what they are desu

Cool, maybe the people who aren't a fan of the majority of the duos output can fuck off forever now and stop shitting up the threads

>>130441229
They're not anti-religion they're just fascinated in cults. Geogaddi literally has a bonus track that makes it holy

someone please tell me what the chanting in age of capricorn is im too stupid to figure it out

disappointing album. doesn't even sound like them at all, naraka is the only worthwhile track

prophecy and hydrogen helium whatever sound like literal ai wtf

Stop shitting on the album. If you don't like or understand it it's obviously because it's too deep for you. How ironic that such a person genuinely thinks they have the right to complaints

>>130441287
not everyone can be gay like you

>>130441329

BWAHAHAHAHAHA
this is so bad, contrived, calculated and uninspired i almost feel sorry for them. It really is "redditors: the band".

>>130441290
>he completely misunderstood From One Source all things depend
its the saddest track they have ever made

>>130441329
hahaha get fucking real

stop coping, i love BOC but this really feels like it's their worst release

>>130441329
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Boards Of Canada.

>>130441340
It's interesting how these threads swing wildly between being so gay theres multiple pictures of dildos to absolutely no homosexuality whatsoever

>>130441350
it really is, they are top 3 all time for me, but yeah we just "dont get it"

>>130441358
yeah they are one of my fav bands too, if this album was more like "deep time" or "naraka" it would've been great, but instead it's metallic and punchy like prophecy most of the time

>>130441372
yeah damn i said the same thing earlier im glad im not alone

Why don't you like the band anon?

>It's...it's... Le Reddit!

Not an argument

I got the Bleep dispatch notification this morning

>>130441340
Exactly. Me, BoC, George Michael, your dad, all the cool cats

everyone stop arguing about whos the retard with the worst taste and tell me what the chanting in age of capricorn is NOW

Now for the complete experience, we need the visuals from the listening parties.

>>130441396
It was literally just a flame with a hexagon cluster overlay

>>130441229
nothing about their music says "anti-religion" to me. it seems as reverential as it is critical. I think they're just obsessed with the symbology and aesthetics
>>130441245
I peg them as SNP midwits in the same vein as Limmy

>>130441396
I have a strobe light in my room with a smoke setting and I just turned that on and set the color to red, pointed it at the ceiling and laid in bed with headphones

>>130441407

during You Retrear, the red hexagon inferno sun turned into a turquoise hexagon sun and showed videos of kids playing and cycling on bikes, much like the fan video for Everything you do is a Balloon. The creator of the Prophecy video strongly hinted that there are more visuals to come.

got to be honest, I didn't like this video that much. it's a little overcooked. like he's working through a checklist of stock BOC imagery

>>130441163
If kslop can do it so can we.

This album is better than MhtRtC but no one is brave enough to say it.

listening to the leak from the last thread, it's much better than the listening party. easier to hear some of the high end textures. also I see what people mean about it reminding them of R35, In the Future sounds like it could have dropped in 95

Where the Vol.4 - P. Primers - 177 Giraud's Mirror at?

>>130441159
Yeah now that I'm listening to the studio versions I'm surprised out how compressed the album sounds. Makes most of the songs pretty unbearable to listen to at higher volumes

>>130441521
you are still listening to a bootleg, fren

Anyone else reminded of this when listening to You Retreat in Time and Space?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VpNT0V25HU

>>130441665
yes totally. I was already thinking that some of the ambient moments felt quite lynchian, Somewhere Right Now in the Future being another example.

Very disappointing
Tape 05 was very promising
Fantano will probably give it a light 4 o algo

>>130441665
Nah, and I remember this track very well from Fire Walk With Me. First half sounds like a very generic organ tune, second half reminded me of something coming from TCH, like Dayvan Cowboy.
Also, I'm pretty sure the intro of Naraka samples something from their own discography, I have the track in mind, but can't remember from which album...

>>130441726
The Word Becomes Flesh would be what I'd qualify the closest to lynchian in spirit, just by the weirdness yet familiarity of the subject, though it's not the kind of music you hear in his movies.

The album is... boring. Too ethereal, nothing happens. I kinda like the glitchy/bitcrushed vocal samples parts, but I think the album lacks good melodies or something

>>130441731
oh please. Tape 05 is predictable and vanilla by their standards. The rest of the album has personality.

>>130441774
>Also, I'm pretty sure the intro of Naraka samples something from their own discography, I have the track in mind, but can't remember from which album...

I remember now, Pete Standing Alone from MHTRTC, the lead synth is very similar, could even not be a sample, but just reusing the same synth.

Leviathan and Americanada have godlike basswork, first sounds like early NIN, other reminds me of James Ferraro's Skidrow textures (that 80s slap synthbass) but actual masterful melodies and engineering

Father and Son is so good, goddamn

My impression so far is that its surprisingly far from their old sound, especially in that it feels less consistently 'organic'. Honestly, it almost sounds like a young new artist who's just heavily inspired by BOC, lo-fi hip hop and IDM. But it's pretty good.

It's a dark Chillout album, but nowhere near as dark as the promo made it seem. What's definitely missing are those usual bangers where you know from the very first second that the track is going to be amazing. It's not their best album, but the 2/5 reviews are completely absurd.

It really feels like a kind of reboot of their sound, and I'm hopeful that this could mean more material coming at a higher frequency afterwards, because they're not trying too hard to perfect the old sound all over again.

Best track by far is Naraka

yeah,I'm thinking we're gemmy

>>130441839
>Welcome to BoC. First listens are always like that.
No, Geogaddi was like listening to a collection of hits you already knew by heart for your whole life. A strange feeling they never created after that and never will.

After listening to it twice so far, I like it. I am sure I will grow to like it even more as time passes. Having said that, I have now also come to the conclusion that Music will never be topped again. It will remain the greatest piece of electronic music ever made.

fuckkkk that was a borderline religious experience. i haven’t even listened to music in months, and if I did it was in my car speakers for a few minutes. so this was a total system overload. this was like being touched by pure love, especially during “Deep Time” and “You retreat…”the album is close to hell interface and Old tunes/random 35 tracks which is my favorite. lots of passing vignettes that force you to enjoy the moment and let it pass. pure ecstasy 10/10 album.
best tracks:
>Into the Magic Land

I listened only once, it sounded like Coldplay or whatever normie retard stuff, mixed with mumble rap and spoken word samples no one cares about. The wav files went straight to the bin, don't want to hear that a second time in my life.
Usually I could salvage a song or two from their albums, not the case anymore.

>>130441998
Could literally have been a mainstream hit. But the sample was probably too le culturally insensitive and problematic to make this the preview Single

Or it's not. Doesn't quite sound like them but it's still a nifty track.

album is pretty weak. low effort chillwave bullshit with almost no progression inside most tracks. cringeworthy edgy/overt vocal and lyrics usage. it's like a nu metal approach to boc. retreat is great, though, not because part b sounds like classic boc but because it has some effort put into its progression and some subtler elements in its mix. overall lazy af but who cares with a fanbase that resembles a cult.

a lot of the critique of the album by people in this thread literally makes it seem as if you people never liked or listened to BoC before.

which is fine, but the criticism leveled at it could be leveled at literally all of their albums lol

Shitpost-y BoC, best BoC, only normies and midwits love the second part of Inferno, but the real ones will prefer the "side A" best.

absolute kino track

is it just me or does into the magic land use the same synth patch as echus? haven't seen anyone point this out.

also does anyone have a tagged version of the leak? im too lazy to do it.

>>130442909
>>130442986
funny I was gonna say it sounds to me like they didn't have fun at all and I'd like to see them make music they're actually interested in making
I could be wrong
Blood in the Labyrinth is the only really good track for me so far

>>130443054
since when is there a soundboard of echus, the fuck

Having read a shitton of reactions about "You Retreat in Time and Space" I'm surprised that to at least me, it doesn't feel particularly "classic boc" to me. The final track to me however felt pure BoC., the heartbeat isn't something they would have done before that's maybe the only element

but in terms of texture and sounds "I Saw Through Platonia" is classic BoC

>>130443076
Last month 3 soundboard recordings of atp were posted

>>130443124
Given the rejection of nostalgia that this album seems to be, "I Saw Through Platonia" is like declaring the death of it (for them) with the literal heart beat going out over a classic beatless BoC tune playing, irony being that a literal heart beat is the only "beat" the track has

I like the cheesy synths on Arena Americanada.
It is like something that would play on a PA system during a monster truck show only everyone in the crows is on heavy tranquilizers

"You Retreat in Time and Space" feels very Campfire Headphase to me. It's shimmering and bright and almost hazy. Felt like them saying goodbye.
As >>130443161 mentioned: the heartbeat is also a dead giveaway: they're packing it in. This is the final BoC album.

I wouldn't say Inferno is them at their best. It might be skew toward the worse end of their discography. But I can see what they were trying to accomplish. You can hear a lot of Societas x Tape here. It's them paying homage to their influences, revisiting their past, while also eschewing old techniques to avoid being too old hat.
I really liked: Age of Capricorn, Naraka, The World Becomes Flesh, Blood in the Labyrinth and You Retreat in Time and Space. Some other tracks are interesting, but become a little too discordant.
Final ranking: Geogaddi > The Campfire Headphase > MHTRTC >= Inferno > TH.
And, to be fair, each of those LPs is at least a 7.5/8 of 10. Good career and well deserved praise. If only the fan base was a little less gay.

It truly does, it has all the production quirks and melody structure from their most beloved tracks, the first half reminds me of a funeral.
>the heartbeat is also a dead giveaway: they're packing it in. This is the final BoC album.
Too evident, people said the same thing with Tomorrow's Harvest considering the message of the album. I think one of them had a near death experience and the album is a way to represent a guilty conscience, the soundtrack of briefly being in hell before you wake up.

Tbh i'm completely satisfied, there's some tracks i don't like obviously, but i love most of the album. I'm glad they went with such a drastic change, it's so twangy and electro.

I couldn't resist and listened to the leak. I don't think this is a goodbye, to me it sounds like they're getting the hang of things again, remember it's been 13 years since they put out an LP

After listening to it only once, Naraka and The Word Becomes Flesh are my favorites, but a lot of the 2nd half is pretty good as well. I'll definitely give it more listens later.

Father and Son rocks.

It charges me money. It doesn't work.

>>130443820
it shouldn't be, the "download all button" is on the far right, this is the link i got it from when it was first leaked last night in previous thread.

Np brother.

>>130443729
Kek, that's what so ballsy about the record. They don't care if some Pitchfork/Fantano/RLM polyp thinks it's not in vogue. Pretty based of them

>>130443742
You got me a little hyped up there but I’m not really in the mood to go and it’s late to make plans. There’s only one in my country and it’s a 2 hour drive away. Kinda sucks I guess because I’m lonely and depressed as fuck but whatever

so what indicates it's an og rip on slsk?

>>130443876
6,800 something for Prophecy at is probably the fake album. The one I downloaded was 12,400 or so (128kbps). Most of the bootlegs are labeled as such.

3rd track is awesome.

wait how are people NOT loving Father and Son? This is so good

>>130443787

>>130443943

>>130443969
now now let's not be hostile ladies

>>130443937
it is good, I didn't like it at first a couple days ago because it sounded a lot more iffy on the listening party leak because of the venue's speakers

>>130443977
Oh shit anon. Ooh shitt… I already listened to the sample…

It's as good as I thought it would be.

naraka is unbelievable

>>130443943
don't you guys like digital hardcore and breakcore or something?
stay over there.

great album but what in the actual fuck is prophecy at 1420mhz doing here? it feels so disconnected to the rest and to be honest it's probably the weakest tune on it for me. a shame that it got a music video, for some reason..

>>130443961
>>130444006

meant to reply this to you too

>>130444013
after hearing the rest in better quality it does feel really strange that prophecy is on here.
I hope Word Becomes Flesh gets a video.....

After just one or two listens the biggest stand outside are
Age of Capricorn
Father and Son
Naraka
Blood in the Labyrinth
Into the Magic Land
Arena Americanada
Album on a whole is fantastic

>>130444013
Yeah but perhaps that's the point, maybe it's a hint to a possible next album or EP which will have more of that sound

>>130443870
What plans, bro? Hop into your car and just start driving. The feeling of regret of not going is way worse than anything that'll happen to you at the listening session

>>130442902
Yep.

>>130444006
no not me, honestly i dislike a lot of "trans music", too much low effort meme shit with bad mixing that gives me a headache

>>130444043
he makes a good point, we don't know if something like this will happen or when it will happen again

I think some people will complain about the lack of atmosphere because it's not building as vague a mood state but rather seems to intentionally be conveying a narrative shape that has a few overlapping forms. the first is as an explicit ritual, if geogaddi is the experience of the uncanniness of cults from the outside, Inferno is a descent into fear and terror with brief respites and a permanent dread that is anchored around the living world.

the second read is that this is an existential album, as signposted by the song titles (1420khz, helium, hydrogen...deep time, Capricorn, narrative, ect) all point to deep time and cosmic existentialism. this is underpinned by tracks like Memory Death (where an EKG style tone chimes through whirling unstable voices as if mirroring semi consciousness) or Platonia with the formless drone ending in the sound of an aux being disconnected while a heartbeat drums.

the point then seems to be more existential with the inferno less being hell itself or a ritual and simply an allegory for non-existence while the album tries to delineate between the euphoria of life and the uncertain, unstable and eternal death

in the first reading You Retreat feels like a false enlightenment after ritual pressure, in the latter, a final gasp of nostalgia like life flashing before your eyes

tellingly, the album seems to semi-frequently dip into the aesthetics of their pre-warp sound but updated and smeared with TH-style production as if to make a point about the finality of time, that eventually BOC compresses together into a retrospective smear with no artistic contours. it's literally a hauntological album but the history being plumbed is BOC's own
entropy must be important here to because the marketing campaign was done with faux generation loss tapes and even tape 05 which contaibs enoygh resolution to be coherent, is still degraded and missing parts of the song.

>>130444076
I ain't reading all that bro

Pretty and amazing. As they always are.

>>130444076
lack of atmosphere?
I don't get that at all, there's a very fascinating soundscape here.

>>130444111

>>130443995
Nah but it's not THAT bad, it's just that the dialogue was still fresh in my mind. But the track istelf is pretty good.

Am I the only one still holding out?

>>130444174
yeah, you're a loser. (non-derogatory)

>>130444174
Scroll up and find the album.

>>130444174
I'm with you, brother. I'm gonna listen to it midnight on friday.

it's funny they synced up many of the vocal snippets with the beat almost like a rap, previously the vocals even if cut up were much more free floating

>>130444210
such a neat decision.
I really love the production on this record.
thank you marcus

Tomorrow's harvest but better. I'm surprised the guys would wait so long.

>>130444174
I’m waiting too… until I can listen to it without having to download it.

micus

>>130444034
in the end, i'm happy that the rest of the album turned out much better than prophecy. i don't mind it and it started to actually grow on me leading up to the release, but now i just want to skip it and start with hidrogen lithium lol

a video for word becomes flesh would be great

Memory Death is such a great ambience

>>130444249
Absolutely.
I'm sure i'll come to enjoy it again in due time but It's definitely not a highlight for me.

>>130444013
I haven't listened to the record yet but based on the complaints people have had about some of the tracks being 'too ethereal' or sleepy (they're idiots), it makes sense that the lead single is the most 'accessible' one. at the end of the day they have to promote the record to as many people as possible because they are in the business of doing so. even if it that rubs artistically apprehensible or whatever. that being said I am so looking forward to sleepy boc time tomorrow evening

>>130444273
I'm sure you'll love it, it's very plucky and groovy.
Do enjoy.

>>130444115
i'm not disagreeing, i'm saying it's going for a different vibe to earlier albums and some people might trip over that, because that's one of the criticisms i have seen so far

>>130444273
Only like 2 tracks are "sleepy", the rest is very groovy as the other anon said

the backing vocals on age of capricorn are making me float

I've already said it's Tomorrow's Harvest yet better. Obviously nothing can touch Geogaddi or Music has the right to children.

I really like prophecy. I've never experienced such a unique blend of sound and vibe shifts in one song.

>>130444298
I'm just glad that what we got didn't disappoint me at all. I seriously hope this is the start of a new era.

>>130444324
They're very old. They could die at any point. Same as Richard D James. That's why this is a miracle.

>>130444335
they're barely in their 50s

All Reason Departs is a bit of a banger

Is it me or some tracks have a certain sci-fi feeling to them? Not entirely but some hints

>>130444335
Rich is 54 but looks 80 now lol. must be all the drugs.

>>130444350
53 is pretty unc, my dad is only 40, he's basically old enough to be their son

>>130444418
I'm surprised he's still alive. Same with Dead mouse.

Get out of my general.

The lack of interviews is saddening me

>>130444640
I really hope we get some, I want some insight into the album

>>130444640
They've done 1 interview in their entire lives. You should know this.

>>130444640
they usually used to come out shortly after release, though there are a lack of weekly mags these days. Not sure which online ones would get one, p4k maybe?

>>130444665
https://bocpages.org/wiki/Interviews
they did 8 for TH alone

>>130444666
(Nice get) There are rumors that they're not doing any press for this

>>130444665
1 audio interview*

>>130444665
you're thinking of the radio one.
Yes they don't do radio one's aside from that.
but they do participate in the ones you see transcripts of.

>>130443723 (me)
Gave it a second listen, and now I can't really just pick a few tracks because they all have their strengths. I don't have the vocabulary to describe the mood but it's old and new at the same time, I think some anons have also mentioned something similar. The bros are back my dudes.

>>130444686
heh, didnt even know it was coming up

>>130444698
My mistake. Who cares about it then.

it’s good. not mindblowing or anywhere near geo or TCH. definitely needs more listens

You Retreat through Time and Space might be one of their prettiest songs, and the bass line is on par with Orange!

Into The Magic Lands is the introverted school shooter brother to Dayvan Cowboy

>>130444982
lol, based.
that's honestly not a bad descriptor

someone mentioned every album of theirs is a departure from the next, yeah i guess but i have all their shit in a playlist that i frequently put in shuffle, and all of it feels like its in the same world and navigating similar ideas, it all flows and works. but this one def stands out and feels so different, production and content wise, some shit straight up feels ai. theres such a lack of identifying moments and melody, it just seems like a placeholder moodboard album, and im so bummed i feel that way

Just curious if this is anybody's first BoC LP and what they thought upon first listen.
Probably many old heads here right now, revisiting /mu/ for this occasion. BoC is now unc tier. I'm having trouble imagining anybody younger than the age of 34 will enjoy this. And, if they do, they've likely listened to their prior work.

>>130444997
i gotta disagree personally, it's a bit jarring for sure since it's still so fresh in the mind but keep in mind this was the biggest gap between releases since TCHP and TH, anyone would change drastically composition wise in that span of time, but after mixing this release with the rest of my shuffleboard of their discog i think it fits right in, it feels like their way older works just a lot less tapey in some areas and less low pass filtering

>>130444997
>MUH AI
Can you retards actually form proper arguments without shitting out buzzwords?

>some shit straight up feels ai
as much as it would actually make sense for them to title an album Inferno and have AI make all the music as some sort of grand statement about the death of art, especially after TH. I don't think it is and I do not get AI vibes from any of the songs.

>>130444864
neat album, although I feel it's closer to trance than house

>>130444997
What does "sounds like ai" even mean? AI is mimickry. If you listen to the original, obviously it'll sound something like its mimic.

whoever can tell me what the chanting in age of capricorn is saying gets a free bj, will swallow

>>130445162
