Re: Closes1-3 picked up on the Youtube copyright ID

It is indeed a false claim, almost certainly by ELLO music, who have recently falsely claimed tracks of the Old Tunes tapes and BoC Maxima, as well as various live tracks. They're a known copyright troll company, pure scum.

Re: The worst thing BOC had ever done

That on streaming there is a quarter-second gap between the end of Bocuma and the start of Roygbiv, and that it's been there for ages and hasn't been fixed.

False Copyright Claims on BoC Live tracks on YouTube

There's a company called ELLO Music which is fraudulently copyright claiming live BoC tracks on YouTube, as well as tracks from BoC Maxima and possibly Old Tunes as well. A quick bit googling shows this company is known for false copyright claims, and indeed this seems to be their primary way of ...

Do the 'mythical five' actually exist?

Since there's been some recent discussion about possible leaks of Closes Vol. 1, I thought I'd make a post to get people's views on what seems to be a fairly hotly debated topic in the BoC-verse. Do the five pre-Twoism albums (Catalog 3, Acid Memories, Closes Vol. 1, Play By Numbers, and Hooper Bay ...

Re: two purported Closes Vol. 1 clips

We probably won't figure it out but to me there are more reasons why this is them as opposed to why this isnt

Focus On The Spiral is at the very least a well made fake, certainly has a lot of the hallmarks of BoC's sound. That being said I'm still sceptical about it, and the other supposed CV1 ...

Re: two purported Closes Vol. 1 clips

The track title itself could also be construed as a reference to the movie:

Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Close3)

So it's possible, if it was faked, that the faker made that connection and then decided to use that sample, but it's still a major coincidence for it to crop up again years ...

Re: GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC PART II

Your music often gives the impression of capturing a fragment of music that has been resonating since ancient times. Does this reflect your philosophy about the nature of music itself?

Re: Tracks where only 1 Sandison is credited?

Farewell Fire and Gyroscope are both Marcus alone. Diving Station is a Mike track and I remember seeing somewhere that Tears From the Compound Eye is just Mike as well. However as far as official credits go Mike and Marcus are always credited jointly on BoC releases.

We seriously need another sign before this thread derails completely. As has been repeated a million times, MDG confirmed an album back in 2022. Yes, that was a while ago, but the follow-up to TCH was first confirmed c.2008, and Tomorrow's Harvest didn't appear for another 5 years. So y'know, there ...

Re: GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC PART II

I'm still hopeful for a 2025 release - we're not even halfway through the year yet, still plenty of time for something to happen.

The Barbican event hasn't happened yet, so no point in prematurely discounting some sort of hint or teaser happening there. Then there's the fact that 2025 is the 30th ...

Re: GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC PART II

I'd say it's *extremely* unlikely that Boards of Canada will do a live set for this event. Some kind of small teaser for new music on the other hand? That to my mind is definitely possible. After all wasn't a snippet of Cold Earth played at a festival in the run-up to Tomorrow's Harvest?
