I like the short interlude tracks of old, but mostly because I'd rather have 17 things to listen to than just 8-12 tracks. After giving each album tens/hundreds of listens, I gravitate heavily towards the fuller tracks, and I'm REALLY happy that TH has so many fully fleshed out songs (while still ...

Hi everyone! I want to invite So-Cal BoC fans to join a meetup.com group (http://www.meetup.com/SoCal-Boards-of-Canada/). It's existed for a few years, but the bulk of the group (myself included) joined the day before/day of the 5/27/13 event. We're trying to organize a few get-togethers in the near ...

There's a guy on the meetup.com/socal-boards-of-canada group (not on twoism) who just posted a video showing more of the ambience of the day, check it out!



Thanks Cory B!

Yeah, it's hard to hear from the video, but the guy who was on the microphone (warp guy?) said "I just got a text from the band, and they wanted me to say they love you all".

the causeway one was 4th song i think, this one had a weird almost groove. this one was well into the album.

Oops, I must be dyslexic, I read "first third mark".

It's hard for me to pick it out now, everything started blurring in my memory bank after I went to sleep last night. I do remember a ...

There's a few tracks that get into more shuffle/off beat stuff like Burial. Not that it sounds like it (at all!), but you'll see what I mean. There's also a lot of juxtaposition of melodic parts that seem to in and out of rhythm/phase with each other, kiiinda like Nlogax.

not good at describing ...

Has anyone heard from tonx? Did his mind just get totally blown and he wandered off into the desert or something? But seriously, that was cool of him to do*, hope he got home ok.

It's soooo hard to choose, but I think Julie and Candy is the fullest representation of the spectrum of BoC. After that, there's probably 5-10 of their tracks that are interchangeably #2 for me, which include Music is Math, Gyroscope, Sunshine Recorder, Kid for Today, beautiful Place out in Country ...

In fellow Twoismer's opinion, what does the new album sound like the most, Geogaddi, Music Has The Right, Campfire? I told myself i'd keep away from reviews of other people, but i've got no self control!

Hard to really give you a good idea, but for sure it's the opposite of Campfire. If anything ...

Whoever did put together the fake was probably just having a bit of fun on teh interwebz. :) Dunno, I'd be a bit skeptical about the fun part to be honest. It might also be someone shapeshifting like a multicolored lizard. What an unhealthy period to live in.

Also the love that has been flowing on this board has been a big help for me as I'm going through a lot of shit in my personal life to the point where I actually wrote up a pros and cons of suicide. Not that I could ever do it because the cons heavily outweighed the pros and I'm not saying this to ...

Definitely not from TH, but I won't say definitively if it's not BoC or some unused track during the TH sessions.

If I had to put money on it though, I'd say it's a well done fake. The tunes sound more like MhtRtC or Geo era BoC than TH, hence I think someone made this with their older albums as a ...

Cool, thanks Platrix :D

I was glad there were some tots at the gathering--since this album doesn't have any children samples it was a nostalgic touch to hear them in the background every once in a while. So great to see the age spread too, BoC music really is timeless.

Thanks for the vid Synthetrix, and awesome pics Group Hex!

One detail that I'm not sure has been mentioned yet is that the classic-BoC-intro-synth to the record store day easter egg vinyls is faintly heard as one of the last songs fades out (maybe 3rd or 4th to last track? Anyone remember which one ...
