Hello Boccers.. a couple of months back, just prior to the release of Inferno, I made a companion dj mix for The Campfire Headtapes, comprised of other artists' tunes, but with a very similar vibe. This was really well appreciated, so I decided I'm going to make a companion mix to all 5 albums. I ...

Actually thinking of buying a regular black vinyl copy to see if it sounds better. Apple Music stream sounds better than the red vinyl to me.

I have got to say I’m disappointed in the red vinyl. The more beatier tracks sound ok, but the ambient tracks sound pretty muddy to me and I’ve got a decent set up.

I kinda think the first utterance is Mabus, then the second one that follows it is Marvellous

There is literally one mention of BoC - Doran says that th opening titles of the programme are very BoC aesthetic. Nothing more. Great podcast though!

Yeah I’m in UK and get lots of purple screen too.

If this does come from the limited Peel
sessions CD, why not just say so?

Hard agree from me. The best intro ever.

I’m sure I remember that some folk thought it was a reference to a video game where there was a rat called Oscar who had red eyes. Although that was pure speculation .

Ok so this is now gathering some nice momentum but I’m stilll seeking contributors for writing. Seeing as so many people spend time speculating on a new release, perhaps they could write something interesting for the community?

For those that have commented on this post expressing an interest - could you please drop me a DM with a clear outline of what you would like to offer, thank you

If only I had - still reaching out for writers! So many people on here with so many things to say about Boards of Canada but no one willing to put pen to paper?

Thanks for the interest guys! And for those of you who have DMed me I will get back to each of you in time. Certainly got plenty of people interested in offering artwork or photos. Where are the writers at?

Hi fellow Boccers,

I am in the initial stages of planning an A5 print fanzine on our favourite pair of Scottish brothers. To my knowledge, I don't think there has ever been a dedicated print fanzine to BoC alone, and being hugely interested in fanzine culture, I thought it was high time to change ...

Wondered if anyone liked the London based artist ROMANCE and their collabs with Dean Hurley and Not Waving? They made an ambient album using samples of Celine Dion (Once Upon A Time) a few years back and since then they've released a few albums, the ones with David Lynch protege Dean Hurley being my ...

Yes ! Sounds like a field recording from a pub with drinkers chatting and playing pool, the clack of the balls is very clear to these ears

Ah, my Latin isn't what it once was, forgive me.. I still think it may be anagram.

This has probably been discussed before, but I've long thought that the title of the mixtape itself could be an anagram, mainly due to the fact that it make little sense and 'societas' isn't a real word. I've had a go of putting 'SOCIETAS X TAPE' into various anagram solvers with no luck. Anyone any ...
