truly envious of those anons experiencing naraka for the first time

>>130460402
i fucking floated the first time i heard it, it was a while since i experienced something like this

>>130460400
Copy and paste the YouTube URL in the OP in your browser. Basically the same thing.

naraka is amo bishop roden pt 2

>>130460412
Yeah and it says the video is unavailable . *Sigh*

After one listen, my standouts are:
* Prophecy at 1420 MHz
* Hydrogen Helium etc.
* Father and Son (don't know why certain people are savaging this track, it's super fun and creative)
* Memory Death
* The Word Becomes Flesh
* Blood in the Labyrinth
* Deep Time
* All Reason Departs
* You Retreat in Time and Space

Funny enough Naraka didn't blow me away as much as everyone said it would, not a bad track though. There wasn't a single bad track on here in fact, I can't really pick a least fave because everything sounded great. ...I guess maybe Arena Americanada, because the grandiose title made me expect more from it, but even then it's just a really good album.

I still don't think the promo campaign for Inferno fits the album at all. The posters of the creepy children, doesn't gel well with the aesthetic and the vibe of Inferno, imo. However, it fits Geogaddi literally perfectly. Geogaddi has a lot of like creepy "childlike" songs like "Beware the Friendly Stranger", "Julie and Candy", "Dawn Chorus" and more. Geogaddi is also much darker compared to Inferno. It's as if this promo with the child posters was meant for Geogaddi, but was cut just for it to be reused in the future.

>>130460625 there's a strong feeling of 'reheated leftovers' to half the tracks too. some of the tracks are incredible and some of them feel like geogaddi and campfire headphase rejects.
>>130460665

I don't think you guys are hearing this it is the MOST uncanny aesthetic once you tap into the vibe

Mark my words this will be one of the most "popular"/notorious songs from the whole project

First time I heard it, it almost sounded whimsical. Listening to it now in a much more vulnerable state, I cannot get over how freaked out I got by it. I actually think it's the most unsettled by music I've ever been. The uncanny valley effect.

I mean, they’re just straight up playing with devil music at this point. This album is more Coil than I’d expect, but they talked about feeling more nihilistic than ever in 2013.

>>130461156
The brothers get pissed when any of their old stuff leaks. Their family and friends are just really good and faithful people who honor their wishes.
[spoiler]Or, quite possibly, their old albums never existed and were invented as a marketing stunt. Guess we won't know for another 30 years.[/spoiler]

>>130461156
im not surprised
see how long it took for All Lights Fucked to leak?

boc maxima, old tunes, and r35t were leaks too. twoism was also completely lost until they reissued it. they just have a ton of lost material and i'm surprised we've heard as much of it as we have

>>130461130
It's too funky to be scary. Sounds like a YTP and I think I like it.

>>130461179
feels more godly to me but i can see where you get that.

>>130461206
I was feeling the funk too before something shifted!!

I can't believe I'm listening to the whole album, I had no intention of actually listening a 2nd time. I'm so tired and it's so compelling. This is like Lux all over again

>>130461197
not really an effective marketing stunt lol. i'd wager that most boc fans don't know or care about the unreleased stuff
the kicker for me is that twoism, boc maxima, old tunes, and r35t were originally all in the same category as Play by Numbers at some point. twoism was a reissue while the others were actual leaks

the only one that i think doesnt exist was acid memories

>>130461179
Serious question: do you really think so? What makes you think that it is anything beyond creative (even cheeky, or emotionally-charged) sampling, and actually stepping into occult? I genuinely want to know.

>>130461198
i was reading that even the music that we 'know' about is like 5% of their actual unreleased output. that they were working on a boxset but keep getting overwhelmed by how much material there is. and that all the stuff, all the albums like play by numbers etc would be in it, but that really they were an extremely small portion.

what we think of as 'their back catalog' is just super random projects that happened to escape from a merzbow-level unheard catalog

>>130461239
he doesnt think so, he's just being a dramatic gay faggot
he probably likes Rick & Morty too

Just go to listening to Naraka. This is so problematic...

Holy shit those synths on Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan...

>>130461266
>like 5% of their actual unreleased output
that's something that i definitely think they're exaggerating
i mean i know they've reiterated it multiple times throughout the 00s and up to 2013 but i just don't buy it. especially since it's supposedly material worthy of being released in a boxset? i just don't believe that

>>130461232
The new "leaks" on Sam's YouTube page have been phenomenal.

>>130461311
are you talking about the studio quality version of ATP-06 or whatever

>>130461292
from how schizo they are i'd buy it maybe not to the astronomical amount they say but i'm sure there IS a massive backlog since they're been making stuff for so long. They're just so perfectionist that unless they think it's perfect by their standards it's not getting released.

>>130461292
It felt very sincere to me. Speaking as someone that makes music almost all the time out of love and even took several years off, the amount of serious material that has gathered is truly overwhelming. They've been doing this since the late 80s, I was only doing it for a period of like 7 years. I amassed over 1000 songs. I am sure with the long gaps they have, the talent and their love for music that they are telling the truth.

I also empathize with the passage of time getting away from you and letting something like organizing 1000 songs get pushed to the backburner.

This is pretty creepy.

has anyone listened to the continuous mix? any difference?

>>130461321
i dont doubt the sheer amount of material, im referring to the times they've said they were working on a boxset but alluded to the aforementioned amount of material as the reason they keep abandoning the project

that's the main part of the claim that i have trouble believing. there's no way they have that much material that's worthy of a boxset (alongside the much requested C3, Hooper Bay, and Play By Numbers)

>>130461329
Yeah - - It turns out that the mix is actually 99% the same as the regular album, but with different mastering/'quieting'/smoother and gapless playback. So subtle almost not worth mentioning, but it is not a 1:1 exact copy.

But for what it's worth, it's the continuous mix that got me into the album. Maybe just because it was my 2nd listen; maybe there is some voodoo subtle effect they put on it. But 1st listen was so-so; my 2nd listen (with cont. mix) is just like... is this their best album ever???

>post yfw hare krishna

happy official release everybody!

I can't believe it. It actually doesn't suck.

>>130461350
from what i heard of a few old tunes vol 1 & 2 and boc maxima, it feels like they have very high quality stuff in their 'older' period. even the official 3 songs from their older stuff like play by numbers that used to be on their website sounded crazy.

obviously we're just speculating. but the other thing is i don't think they were necessarily trying to do it to 'impress the fans' i think it was more for THEM, to just get their music all together in one place, and then sure, release it. it didn't sound like they even considered quality/non-quality, but it feels like it would certainly be at the absolute worst, intriguing to listen to and at the best, a treasure trove. "vintage boards of canada" almost feels like the universe collapsing in on itself, conceptually / ouroboros vibes


as an aside, i want to say that i am at such peace listening to this. i feel so alone in life. i look like a stud. everyone thinks im totally normal and have a gf and friends and success. but im not. im all alone. ive done everything i can -- i now wrestle, try to communicate with friends, but even after having friends, i am isolated in an island i still cannot escape. and sexually i am so lost. i feel so much desire, but am perpetually in a state of paralysis. passion wise i am carrying a major burden of a project that i am on track to complete, but it's taking so long and it's my real purpose but it's like because of the delay, everyone wonders what my deal is. but that's my deal. im trying so hard to make my life work. but im now in my mid 30s and it feels like i might be alone forever. or end up compromising even if im not.

and this music and this discussion, it's been so nice. it's crazy how at peace i feel. i realize in these moments how all these expectations of existence don't matter. my experiences are still valid. my life is still in a state of meaning. in this moment i am free. i am smiling.

just felt like, why can't we just be real

>>130461208

I wish I could listen to this album as 7 year old to figure out if it’s universally unsettling at any age or if it has to do with being an adult and projecting. It doesn’t seem like it should be so dark, but it feels evil

Warp catalog number 496, intentionally chosen by BoC

In physics

The number 496 is a very important number in superstring theory. In 1984, Michael Green and John H. Schwarz realized that one of the necessary conditions for a superstring theory to make sense is that the dimension of the gauge group of type I string theory must be 496. The group is therefore SO(32). Their discovery started the first superstring revolution. It was realized in 1985 that the heterotic string can admit another possible gauge group, namely E8 x E8.

Superstring theory is an attempt to explain all of the particles and fundamental forces of nature in one theory by modeling them as vibrations of tiny supersymmetric strings.[1]

>>130461523
i think it's quite literally unsettling. to the point that i wouldn't subject a child to this lolol

though there are real moments of peace and beauty, much like a cult or ritual

>>130461427

nothing is real anon

>>130461523
I dunno. I haven't felt that way throughout the album, though I understand why some anons have gotten freaked out over some of the songs like, say, Father and Son. I've never felt unsettled by Geogaddi either though, so I guess I'm just immune to that sort of stuff.

This is their best album ever. Wow. What an evolution.

1.) I cannot get over the shift from my first listen to my second

2.) I am so impressed and proud of how deep and far this music goes

3.) Despite it's apocalyptic themes, I am so drawn into the present here and now of the very real future we are in, by being engaged by such futuristic, wild, ultimately forward-reaching art

ASIDE: Is this the first project where Boards of Canada is really, really looking forward? For a band so associated with the past, nostalgia and samples, it's like all of that has been turned the opposite direction. Yes, it's a largely terrifying, unsettling project -- but it's also interspersed with so much beauty and the vibes don't feel like worn-out samples, but like glimpses into a future.

Just bought. Wow. I have to have a copy...

The use of stereo in this album is amazing

In a previous thread and anon was saying that Capricorn was giving them Final Fantasy X vibes. Anyone know what they meant by this? I didn't get that at all

>>130461648
I feel like tomorrow’s harvest was absolutely looking forward, the whole thing is intended to invoke societal and environmental collapse. I don’t know what the fuck they’re trying to say with this one.

I super dislike the tracks with the heavy sampling personally, harvest is better in every way as a whole, but some of this are still awesome. Current favorite is hydrogenheliumlithiumlevitation by far.

I can't tell if this is my favorite album of theirs, or if that's the anticipation or honeymoon phase speaking. I think I'll need to sit with this one
first impressions are they blew it out of the water

>>130461695
i just meant like, how big merzbow's catalog is, i was implying that's how big their unreleased catalog is. didn't word that the best.

>>130461771
i understand now

>>130461754
at the time, TH felt like looking forward. but in retrospect and on a relisten recently, i feel it was still very much rooted in a present tense. probably splitting hairs, but it's clearly envisioning a future, but in doing so it actually evokes more of where we really are already. i feel like inferno is reaching eons into the future. but i get what youre saying.

>>130460382
Just finished listening. Didn't quite click for me at first, but it very much came together for me as it progresses. Wouldn't call it their best by any stretch of the imagination, but I would say it's probably stronger than Tomorrow's Harvest, maybe even Campfire Headphase. I can very easily see this undergoing a mass reappraisal sometime in the future.

>>130463015
Sounds like Inferno to me playa

I am gonna be honest, I'm unsure whether or not I'm happy about this album. If it's gonna take another 13 years or so to release an album and this is what they leave behind? Nah not too happy about that. Still praying they'll release their unreleased material in some way.

i have noticed all the 5 star reviews are from zoomers and 2-4 star reviews are from uncs. I think its because for zoomers being part of """boc fandom""" is more important than the music.

There are a few tracks that's playful but the whole tone of the album is still pretty ominous sounding.

I always thought their lo-fi aesthetic was a limitation of their equipment rather than being intentional. In such a courageous album, for BoC standards, anyway, it doesn't fit. I kind of hate it really.

Unless everyone changed their rating and the album gets flooded with weighted 0.5 stars, this is never happening

>>130463340
It's their best album. Anyone who disagrees is either deaf or living in the '90s.

>>130461583
Not him, but I felt Geogaddi hit me harder when I was in my teens. Listening to it recently it didn't feel like that much of a tonal departure from Music Has the Right to Children.

>>130463308
TCH was the turning point for their production. For all the warbly tape loops and dusty drums, it's densely layered and incredibly well produced. I'm still picking out little details 20 years later.

>>130463382
Never beating Geogaddi but could get that 2nd spot if it it holds up.

>>130463457
Anon still confused about why BoC “shaved my balls” after heart attack

>>130463546
If they were to re-review it, they would give Geogaddi a much higher score. MHTRTC got a 10/10 in a review that was several years after its initial release. I would expect Geogaddi to get a 9.5/10. They also tend to give classics a higher score in retrospectives.

>>130461610

Not right

It's sampled from a christian documentary but the actual quote is from Aleister Crowley so also not right

Still not right

Why would you do that, you're just as worse as the zoomers only caring about being in the fandom.

>>130463835
Feel free to quote and laugh in 20 years but I really feel this could be the start of more frequent releases. Do you really release something that so fresh for the group and then just dip for a decade again? Probably, but they're mad to not put an EP again while the iron is hot. Plus if they wait any longer the AI apocalypse will happen.

>>130463856
>so fresh
What do you mean? It sounds very much like Boards of Canada. All their albums do, they're not like Autechre who completely reinvent themselves between albums, like Oversteps sounds nothing like Exai.

On first listen I thought it was mid, but on a second listen it's already a much more holistic experience.

I feel like there's careful projections to all of their previous albums on this one. Here are the most prominent ones.

> Father And Son
Nod to MHTRTC

> Blood in the Labyrinth
Nod to Geogaddi

> Memory Death
Nod to Campfire Headphase

> Arena Americadana
Nod to Tomorrow's Harvest

> You Retreat In Time and Space
Nod to it all, but most importantly a nod to EYDIAB

>>130463869
Nah their production sounds very different for this one, they're hinting at genres they have not touched before (or rarely) too. As another another anon wrote, there is a definite shift with the remixes from their treat em right remix onwards that is reflected in this album

it's too bad
not even close
listened for the third time
what's being advertised is not in the album
it barely begins talking after acts of magic
father and son is literally gachimuchi ytp
album full of cheap sounds on identical rhythm base
technically also badly constructed
abrupt jumps and shifts all around
best piece is deep time yet it almost ripped my right eardrum
24k rip is 22/41 instead of 24/96
no the album art did not grow on me
it's shit and irritating
no i'm not taking my corn syrup

nah they stop taking orders today

>>130464261
oh my bad,but I bet there are loads.

It’s better than any fans would’ve expected after the absolute shitfest Halo4 OST (Tomorrow’s Harvest).

However, there is not a single track on this that can hold a candle to any of the first 4/5 tracks on Campfire Headphase, which is regarded as their weakest album outside of Tomorrow’s Harvest of course.
None of these tracks compare to even the sleepers on MHTRTC and Geogaddi.
Telephasic Workshop, Olson, Pete Standing Alone, An Eagle in your Mind, for example, are in an entirely different league. Geogaddi, a great album but nothing close to MHTRTC, could not swap its worst tracks for any of Inferno’s best with the possible exception of Deep Time.

As an overall experience, Inferno is forgettable for large sections, like the latter half of Campfire, small sections of Geogaddi, and the entirety of Tomorrows Harvest. It is clearly their second worst album.

>>130464291
I know music is bleak right now but you are forcing this album (and its subpar tracks) to fill an impossible void. Age of Capricorn in particular has such a ridiculously cliche melody. It sounds like something that might be scooped up into a Netflix original series where the idea of subtext has been completely forgotten about. Campfire Headphase tracks are their own vibe, they are basically for the campfire head space. Why the fuck would I listen to MABUS over any of the tracks you listed? You’re either joking, or more likely, forcing.

>>130464345
ill force my willy up your arse m8
I was overegging it a bit as I do like TCH, but this is still a perfectly good album with a great vibe in its own right

So I went to a 'listening party' without actually hearing the album...

I arrived at 4.40 pm, as the listening session was due to start at 5 pm. The record shop was pretty full, but there was still plenty of room to walk around. I joined the queue for an LP and some goodies, where more people (and throughout the shop) were chatting amiably with one another. Then, without any clear announcement, they started playing the album in the shop without further ado. First ‘Introit’, then ‘Prophecy’... By the time it was my turn and I was standing at the counter (and I could already hear the third track playing in the background), they told me that everything was sold out, including the goodies, and that I’d have to come back tomorrow if I wanted to buy the album.

A bit disappointed but still very hyped to hear the album, I found a spot in the record shop somewhat near a speaker. After a minute, the speaker was suddenly turned down a lot. A minute later, the whole record was stopped and they suddenly started playing some pop song. I walked back to the counter to ask why they hadn’t finished playing the album, and then they casually told me that they’d just sold the LP that was on the turntable for the listening session as well. Everyone walked out disappointed and I then took the train home without having heard the album. Pretty surreal experience honestly. And what a lack of respect towards BoC, Warp and everyone who was there to hear the album for the first time.

Anyway, the album’s finally out now, so it’s all good in the end! Hope everyone enjoys listening to it properly :)

It’s serviceable and much better than we expected it to be, I’ll give it that

Honestly, I don’t know very to think, it is eliciting a whole range of feelings for me, it’s superb.

I was wondering if this could be the album of the year before it came out, now upon listening I think it could easily be the album of the 2020’s.

I feel blessed to be able to listen to it at first with my kids. They are very young but they love BoC. Always ask for the “orange” song.

What you call direct inspiration I call them demos rehearsed from different eras.The production level makes it clear.

I think that the reflection should be at an higher level: is their style incompatible, or outdated, with the current state of the art of electronic music production? Is it solvable by investing more on production? Or is the album uninspired?

At a lower level: I hear many influences from their diaspora of artists. Malibu, Giegling artist.

I believe this is a love letter to us fans and to the world: we did everything we could, but we’re gone, now it’s your time.

Btw: Father and Son reminds of a Gescom track.

>>130463883
At the first listen, I thought this was their best.
Father and Son is pretty much a Melodyne advertisment, Still this is my favourite song of the album. Outside Age of Capricorne.

>>130464274
I distance myself from this anon's obvious homosexuality. From now on this thread is only here to inform about that.

Why every good musician has to trick it's listeners to abide contemporary geopolitical agenda...

I just can't bear it anymore. I loved BoC. But this is just too blatant. They claim to mock/imply religions suppressing over people yeah and we're living the inferno etc. but apparently this darkness only happens upon Christianity in this album for some reason. Ah, but look how hopeful and happy the tunes with Muslim professor and Krishna chant.

Same with NIN. Reznor claims and praises nihilistic worldview all the ever since, but always yells against Christianity somehow.


FUCK IT. I got what this anon meant now.
>>130463910
The bias is so obvious.
I'M ALSO NOT HAVING THE CORN SYRUP ANYMORE.
FUCK YOU.
CHRIST IS KING.

oh yeah christschizo meltie, loving this album so far

>>130464998
and as if the catchiness of Naraka weren't enough, they added Middle Eastern tunes to the rest of the album to ensure listeners are captivated.
They knew it would be the banger hit of the album because of obviously shit rest of the roster.

The CD was a bitch to take out of the sleeve. Now I'm reminded of how much of a meme CDs are. But the little photo booklet was nice.

yeah i have made up my mind - this album largely does nothing for me, there are about 4-5 exceptions, YRITIS being a stellar high point and what i would normally expect from BOC in the first place. The album is full of dull padding, though, and it saddens me. Oh well, they can't all be bangers.
5/10 which puts it on par with Tomorrow's Harvest.

Anyone else get the Warp promo?

Pretty intradasting album. Kinda cinematic compared to their older stuff, which feels more like lucid dreaming or being on drugs. This album is very self-aware. Also noted that it starts out scary but slowly turns into orgy sex party music and then The Process is like a little 9/11 moment, and then you’re dead and ascend into a cosmic heaven on You Retreat In Time And Space. And finally, on Platonia, we get reminded that the album is telling us the only real thing is now

Father and Son sounds like a Crash Bandicoot level without the vocals

Plenty of Christian themed tracks on their previous albums like Geogaddi are respectful. You're making a fuss about nothing really.

Yes, that's why I loved BoC. But, this one is sinister on purpose.
If you want to go against all, do it against all, no problem for me. You don't just mock Christianity and cutify others and then say you mock cults and religions overall.
