>>130470330
It's interesting how traditionally ambient artists come out with this very maximalist album, people just seem to have no chill anymore.

i don't really like the album. none of it's connected with me so far and i think it's wholly inferior to Twoism, MHTRTC, and Geogaddi

HOWEVER. the second last song (You Retreat in Time and Space) is one of the most beautiful pieces of music they've ever made. almost made me cry, it was just so unmistakably Boards and so emotional

reading this bullshit gives me no hope, taste is fucking dead, cant believe so many people cant see how this is such an insanely weak album for them. everyones so quick to say its their best, like giddy children mindlessly praising anything in front of them

I'm thinking Acts Of Magic and Memory Death are meant to highlight the primitivism of religion since they follow Naraka. You have the flies buzzing around what is probably a corpse in AOM, then you get the heart monitor beep in Memory Death, and all that is followed by The World Becomes Flesh, which is obviously a clinical, scientific description of a human forming.

You know what?
I take back all I said about this album.
I like the boys, I bet they had reasons for such album layout and lineup.
And I bet they tried their best for a good comeback.
I'll just thank them for the couple of genuinely good pieces they snug into my life. Maybe they wanted everyone to find a piece in it they can relate to. And also for making Naraka function rather as intelligence filter among people than a shitty track.

Maybe that's what it is for.

Thanks BoC for the new album. I apologize for my previous posts and will stop talking bad about it.

good attempt, almost fell for it.

it's cool to see that everybody loves this album except one random weirdo

Slowly seeing fewer negative reactions as the days pass by.
"Gotta admit: it's growing on me."
At a listening event yesterday, I overheard a group laughing amongst themselves because people on twitter were calling it "mid."
Few positive reviews come out and now, suddenly, everyone feels it's one of the more interesting albums released in recent months/years.
Not saying it's their best work, but it's clearly a good record. Better than good, even.
Sort of reminds me why I left /mu/ in the first place. The act of shitting on something popular/anticipated for the sake of appearing "cool" is the most poseur shit imaginable.
Anyway, grateful for this record. Liked it from first listen and it continues to get better.

Man I fucking hope so. I gave MHTRTC, Geogaddi, TCH, TH 10/10, literally not a single skippable song. Tape 05 (Deep time) still is the best on this album.
I am gonna give Inferno another listen tonight. Tape 05 did take me a few listens before I really started loving it so we will see. It was really fucking depressing listening to a few songs like telephasic workshop, 84 Pontiac dream, and Jacquard Causeway and a few others after this album as a sanity check.

Inferno

Gave it a listen earlier this morning while isolated in the woods. I was going to sit outside on a chair with headphones, but the bugs were bad so I opted to listen in my car instead. I thought it was incredible. The mixing on TH produced some of the best sounds i've heard from my mediocre car speakers and I found the same was true for Inferno. Those drums could cut through solid granite, though I couldn't pick up on a lot of the vocal snippets. It feels like one of those albums that's supposed to be felt more than anything.

My initial impressions were that:
>Age of Capricorn was the brightest and most hopeful. Sounded like it came from MHTRTC
>Somewhere Right Now sounded like something from Old Tunes era or earlier
>Acts of Magic was playing while a bunch of flies and insects were swarming my car, which made me feel like I was part of some shamanic ritual. Very fitting
>Memory death is extremely prescient to a dream (nightmare) I had a couple weeks ago involving the album
>The Word Becomes Flesh is the head bobber for me. It feels very similar to the old Hell Interface remix of Trapped, where those squelchy synth stabs just keep building and building.
>The recurring bursts of strings on Labyrinth sounded amazing on speakers
>All Reasons Depart is one of the most interesting tracks imo. The contrast of tribal drums and playful synth plucks really stood out
>The Process into You Retreat made me cry pretty good, and I'm not even sure in a good way

Theres so much modular on inferno. Even in songs you don't think use it like arena

>>130472662
so cool you were able to be there when they were working on it

I’m cumming

I haven't smoked weed for years, but I decided to smoke to this album and it's a religious experience, started thinking a lot.

I get the idea that the album is trying to convey how religions are fake and what we percieve as god isn't god. God is AI or a Demiurge figure in our eyes. It wouldn't be out of order coming from BoC.

Crazy stuff, haven't enjoyed an album so much for years and the level ofn nternet reaction is so fun too. They went against what so many artists do, and they made listening parties irl (so many people say it was great and people were great) and now we are talking about the album even in a cynic place like 4chan. I think it's more about how it makes you feel rather than what the music is.

Really, really fond of how "loose" and "sloppy" the cut-and-screwed vocals are. Yeah I know, sounds like copium, but something about the sudden cuts, slight stretching, comb filtering etc. just scratches my brain the right way, I think it's because it reminds me so much of MHTRTC or Old Tunes, brings to mind the sight of them going at a cassette or VHS tape with a razor trying to chop up sentences instead of using a DAW

It's trying to emulate the dialogues between the god they talk about in the album and their son (we are the sons of god, their creation). The point of the song isn't to be mellodic or anything. It's ok of you don't like it, but look at it from a different perspective

WHAT SONG IS TAPE 05???

Just finished my first listen. Been my favorite artists since 2005. My favorite album is Geogaddi but MHTRTC is two milimeters behind it.

First impression is that the first half of the album is a lot stronger, but Magic Land and the last two tracks are decent. I was hoping for more simple synth music like Kiteracer 2, or for them to revisit their old evil shit like Noatak, Chinook, or that track that Machinedrum made an edit of. It's fine, I remember Tomorrow's Harvest didn't wow me at first either, but Inferno feels different in a way that I'm not sure the whole album will grow on me like TH did.

Schizo here. I've listened to Inferno on vinyl, on Spotify (phone w/ headphones), on Spotify (Alexa w/speakers) and now Spotify (PS5 on TV) and it sounds very noticeably different on each platform.
>Yeah obviously, retard
I mean VERY noticeably different. More so than any other albums I've done this with. I don't know enough about production to sufficiently explain it, but it sounds new/altered/remixed? every time. So much so that I have different favourite tracks depending on format.

VINYL - Naraka
ANDROID - Labyrinth OR Arena
ALEXA - Prophecy
PS5 - Father and Son

It's weird to me that long time fans of BoC don't mention You Retreat In Time And Space, it's such a beautiful nod to their earlier albums.

I spent the better part of this entire year listening to BoC on repeat, long before the Inferno marketing campaign started up, I'm a relatitively newfag fan, I discovered them like 10 years ago, it was a slow process, liking a handful of songs, revisiting them and eventually digging deeper. Wasn't until about 5 years ago maybe that I became a fan for real and each year since then has just been more and more rewarding listening to their music over and over again, my appreciation just keeps growing.

I'm so happy Inferno is as good as it is, I wasn't sure what to expect from it but it exceeded expectations. I'm absolutely confident that I will still be listening to this 5 years from now, discovering new things to appreciate about the songs.

>>130477353

I don't think they're atheist. I get the feeling that they think any human interpretation of the divine is corrupt or incomplete in some way.

People have been bringing this up, but is there any reason to think the brothers would want to split with Warp? All of the other huge IDM facts have remained with them without issue. Seems like if your label just lets you wait as long as you want until your music is ready for release, that's a pretty ideal arrangement, unless there's some copyright issue that makes them apprehensive about releasing older stuff thru Warp.

rym is real tryhard having Boc Maxima listed as an actual album and not a mixtape.

Inferno has made me appreciate Tomorrow's Harvest a lot more. Not because one is superior to the other, but listening to Inferno for 10 hours straight made me realize how degraded my attention span has become over the last 10 years. Inferno is extremely focused, which is great for keep the listener's attention, but the previous albums are asking a lot more of the listener's attention without any 'extreme' payoff. Or, it feels that way because of desensitization. I suppose that's why Inferno is seen as a maximalist BoC album.

>we're not Satanists, or Christians, or pagans. We're not religious at all. We just put symbols into our music sometimes, depending on what we're interested in at the time. We do care about people and the state of the world, and if we're spiritual at all it's purely in the sense of caring about art and inspiring people with ideas.

those piano chords on The Process sound so profoundly sad

>>130470523
the album is good retard

>>130478614
Memory Death, too.
Both sound so anguished. Something I'm not sure BoC really ever tapped into before.
>>130478310
Listened to it again yesterday while sitting on a log in the woods. Profoundly moving album, especially in the second half. I still can't quite wrap my head around Father and Son. Once you acclimate to the new instrumentation and production style, the album starts to reveal itself. It's almost better if you have zero exposure to BoC before going into it, desu. Absolute monster of an LP.

geogaddi

one of the most perfect albums i've ever heard, which is insane considering how aggressively unique/varied it is. the only song i don't think is a 10/10 is 1969

>>130478310
the album is alright (liked it a lot more than TCH and TH) but it's still nowhere near as good as MHTRTC and Geogaddi, not even close

every time HHLL comes in I'm like .. orange?

>>130478571
I know, but that quote is from 2002, 24 years ago. A lot can change in that time.
24 years before that quote, it was still the 70s.

>>130478680
>i don't think is a 10/10 is 1969
what is bro waffling about. 1969 is a high point of the album

>>130478726
yeah i know i'm in the minority here. i just really don't like the vocal samples on that song, it's the worst on the album to my ears

>>130478659
Memory Death is definitely one of my favorite songs on the album.

I forgot how much MHTRTC drags until the middle of the album. It's weird because it has some really iconic BoC songs, but there's so many weak points that it feels like their weakest album. HOLY!!!!!!!

So I guess TH, Inferno, Geogaddi, and TCH are better than MHTRTC. I never would've imagined, but here we are.

>>130478745
mhtrtc definitely didn't age very well. there's a lot of fluff on there
i personally always thought it was substantially inferior to Twoism and Geogaddi, i'm glad people are coming around

>>130478745
MHTRTC has always been bottom of the pack for me. I would listen to either of the old tunes tapes or r35tt over it any day.
The album still has its incredible moments of course, but it seems like it came at a weird point in their development between the more simplistic old stuff and the complexity of Geogaddi.

>>130472175
Geogaddi, Easy

>>130478750
It doesn't help that it's so derivative of trip-hop elements of that era. Twoism definitely wins because it uses that language more concisely and wraps it up in 8 tracks. The album font on Twoism owns up to what it's doing too. MHTRTC is so odd. Turquoise Hexagon, Kaini Industries, Roygibiv, Happy Cycling, and the few other stand outs should've been on Twoism. MHTRTC should've been the weird little darkweb EP.

kick pete standing alone - open the light and replace it with chinook and whitewater and mhtrtc would be perfection

>>130478901

>>130479165
My favorite album is when the last track is nothing, I love hearing nothing for 1:46 minutes

>>130479165
It's too popular and I can't be seen enjoying it or else that might be cringe.

>>130479075
You’re pretty much deluded and clinically insane and disregarded if you think MHTRTC is better than Inferno

>>130479191
This.

I think TCH is better than MHTRTC

after about 6 listens, all the tracks have grown on me big time. this is huge because after my 3rd listen I thought this album was a dud. the only track that still doesn't work for me is The Word Becomes Flesh. I also wish more of the interlude tracks faded into the following track, like Deep Time goes into All Reason. I think the album has 3 distinct arcs and I strongly prefer the one fron Deep Time onwards to end of album.

>>130479248
I love Word Becomes Flesh, leave it to BoC to make a lecture about the growth of a chicken embryo funky as hell

>>130479251
A chicken? I thought it was a human embryo. But yes, Twbf is a great track. I can’t find a flaw on the album.

>>130479269
Ye if you listen it says yolk, albumin, mentions an oviduct instead of fallopian tube etc

>>130479251
>>130479269
to me, twbf just doesn't click musically, I don't vibe with the uneasy chords combined with the subject matter.

and also the fact that the album already has a track with the same voice manipulation gimmick, Father and Son.

>>130478296
not saying they have any issues, just that financially it might make sense to release a bocset themselves. It would do great even with minimal promo

>>130479075
holy based

>>130479191
Inferno is really growing on me, I won't be surprised if it moves up higher on the list above Hi-Scores

>>130479075
utterly terrible list

>>130479294
I judge it from a holistic perspective. Inferno to me is one big arc. I guess it could be viewed in acts, but I see it has a very complete story with one arc. Twbf is perfectly sequenced. I see the album quite literally as a movie in my mind, and Twbf is a pivotal moment in that movie.

>>130479343
>>130479353
Lets see your list then faggot

Inferno has already ended up growing on me pretty hard after a few listens, enough to the point I'd probably put it around the upper-middle echelon of their catalog. The only big things holding it back are the percussion (it doesnt really sound bad but its wholly uninteresting compared to older records) and a few of the tracks feeling like Boards of Canada by the numbers

The Process is absolutely devastating. It reminds me of the scene in Children of Men where they're carrying the newborn child through a warzone and world brought on by civil unrest and societal collapse.

why tf is the red vinyl still orderable on bleep?!? i have invested lot of money into this """limited""" vinyl!!!!

>>130479373
not him but for me objectively at this point
Geogaddi >= Inferno >= MHTRTC > TCH > TH

>>130479563
oh sorry In a beautiful place I'd put above TCH. It's not an album just an EP but still love it to death.

>>130479535
Yeah, it’s pretty bleak. I get 9/11 type event vibes.

was reading a little about Jack Van Impe, the televangelist sampled in Age of Capricorn
from wikipedia:
>...said a one-world religion will form, named "Chrislam"; the joining of the world's two largest religions (Christianity and Islam).aid a one-world religion will form, named "Chrislam"; the joining of the world's two largest religions (Christianity and Islam).aid a one-world religion will form, named "Chrislam"; the joining of the world's two largest religions (Christianity and Islam)
feels thematically appropriate, with the more eastern instrumentation on Naraka and Into the Magic Land

>>130479609
holy moly I fucked up the copy paste there

Its crazy people are already ranking this album. I have so many memories and moments attached to their previous records it will be like another 2 years before i could accurately rank inferno amongst them.

>>130479723
People are just glad that it isn't shit.
TH came out during the highest point of my life (so far) but it still never clicked, though it instantly takes me back and I love it for that.

>>130479165
music is more than just themes. just because Geogaddi and Inferno sound similar on paper, that doesn't mean they sound similar (or are in the same realm as far as quality goes).

what the fuck is wrong with you faggots? why do you get so snarky when people don't have the same opinions as you?

>>130479075
i didn't like TH much, but still a great ranking. i appreciate how low MHTRTC and TCH are

I think maybe you downloaded the wrong album and listened to Sabrina Carpenter or something by mistake if you think this sounds "completely different" than Geogaddi

all of their albums are sharing a house together while inferno is chained up in a shed in the yard wearing a helmet and eating crayons

>>130480061
Nice fanfic. Inferno IS the house.

>>130479810
I can't believe I forgot about Twoism and Trans Canada Highway. Twoism is below HiScores and Trans Canada Highway is probably last on my list. If Hi-Scores didn't have Everything you Do Is a Balloon, Twoism would probably be higher up since that one has another GOAT BOC song Sixtyniner.

dont let any of this distract you from the fact seven forty seven is still their best song

>>130480053
Geogaddi is unmistakably IDM while Inferno is unmistakably not. Are you retarded?

I love what they've done with the BoC-esque tracks on this album, they're so much more despondent, there's no pretty nostalgia attached to them, they just sound solemn

Melon will give this album a 7.

Still in "The Process" of reviewing Inferno but this likely my finished ranking list #1-11. Of the top 5 official LPs, it (Inferno) would probably be a close second behind Music but in the grand scheme of the discography they're pretty much tied for 2nd... for now.....

"you retreat" sounds like a redone version of another song but I haven't binged boc in awhile. it's really bugging me

>>130480894
He gave Fire-Toolz recent album a light 7. If he can listen to crazy fusion music like that and enjoy it, I’d be shocked if he can’t fuck with a new BoC album.

BoC came back before she did, bros.....

Have they ever had more of a filter song than Father and Son?

Zoetrope maybe, but even then most people just find that 'nice' at worst. Palace Posy I guess but I don't think it's iconic enough.

>>130480956
sort of like pieces of 84 pontiac dream and everything you do is a balloon in the second half

I can't believe how good this album is. First listen I thought it was decent with some stand out tracks but some weak ones that felt like filler and kitch. However, every track gets better with each listen. I'm obsessed and haven't felt this way with a new album. Closest was with TH, Syro and Exai. But Inferno is on another lever imo, even if Geogaddi and MHTRTC are masterpieces and can't really be outclassed, only time will tell how Inferno ages and if it can compete as a top 1 or 2 contender.

I REALLY WISH THAT I COULD DO THAT
