Marcel Giraud mirror: 6 sides (hexagon, akin to the flex-disc) and 5 loops (5 BoC albums) with and beginning and ending place for the candles but connected overall. This bonus disc is like a bookmark ...

Re: 01. / 02. Introit / Prophecy At 1420 MHz

Musically, I am intrigued and engrossed by this and I feel like it's come full circle to their earlier work before Hi Scores and MHTRTC including stuff we can only speculate on like Wheeltower. The visuals Beatty did feel more abstract, psychedelic, and original versus their past sample and "collage ...

Re: 01. / 02. Introit / Prophecy At 1420 MHz

Oh and idk if this was already said before, but 1420 MHz is the frequency of the Wow! signal. So i guess Inferno has some space themes in it, but with the whole "god the ultimate resonance" theme, i think the overall album is aiming towards the vibes of cults that mixed space, science and religion ...

Re: Inferno Artsyle Discussion

Bringing in an idea I brought up in the general Inferno thread because it applies to the cover. It has to do with the idea of our past, present, and future selves being contained in this one moment and how parts of ourselves get frozen in the past.

It involves behavioral loops that get stuck on ...

Re: Pitchfork on BOC’s MHTRTC

“What I still like about [the album] is all about everything it doesn’t do, in the context of the world of music it came into,” says Sandison today.

I really like these guys but this apes BoC a little too much, even if they are sincerely going for their own sound with similar aesthetics.

Re: NEVERMEN - Mr Mistake (Boards of Canada remix) !!!

I listened to the original first. I liked it ok but really liked this version. I actually like the vocals MORE after hearing this, whereas I was lukewarm with the original song.

I'm the same way with the Clouddead remix - love that song and I think they marry the vocals well with their own music ...
