Hey,

I'm currently writing a book on Boards Of Canada that's due to be published next year.

I'd love to speak to anyone who has:

- Seen the band live, or
- Went to the Geogaddi listening sessions.

Tell me your experiences, memories, all of it. Was it loud? Crowded? Did a CRT really explode at ...

Well, that's a LOT of planning and working out details for what was essentially at the time tweens potsing around with synths and musical instruments.

The problem with analysis that are done post-work is that it really is a reflection of one's own interpretation and as such, has to be taken with ...

I shall use Star Wars philosophy regarding this thread.

+1 vote for space theme on LP6.

But now that we've said it out loud they're not going to do it.

Also dangerous for any fictional universe, after space and hell there's nowhere left to go. The final frontier if you will.

The human ...

Well, that would seem to be that then.

Just another control system.

I am not sure if it is an interest with the "religious" phenomena, as much as the tools of mass control (Internet, cults, religion, philosophy) as a whole. In tune with this interest in what can skew the mind and lead it at the will of a leading few be it doctrine or whatever, they also incorporated ...

"We lost our grip on what Boards Of Canada really is.

Others began to define what the band was instead of us, which is why we are doing interviews now. We want to show who it is driving this bus."

Well seeing as they are not doing any interviews for this cycle, and that it is a Mike dominant ...

magrathea_ultima

Well, they already used the emails for notifications for listening parties etc.

It really sounds like just an operation to rake in tons of emails to send newsletters, it would be aligned with the overall feeling of "milking the cash cow" that this release has felt compared from previous ones from ...

/snark on

They said in interview that their memories of Canada are of immense empty vistas, malls and boxy office spaces.

From the NME interview: "My memory of Calgary is a picture of boxy 1970s office blocks dumped in the middle of nowhere against a permanent sunset."

It is very clear that the ...

This marketing round has been so far above and beyond those of the past, that coupled with other hints and whispers through the static makes me think that they are looking at amassing a maximum of moulah for retirement days, I mean, the bros aren't getting any younger and they may have decided to ...

I am feeling this way now

It’s only been a month since Inferno. It’d be wiser to wait another decade or two of before coming to such conclusions.

I will be well into my smallest weird number decade then... hopefully I live to see the day of another BoC release.

That's the brainwashing 101 pattern, isolate the individual from its environment.

This is of course the right answer.

As my man Neil deGrasse Tyson said: If there is a god, it is either not all powerful, or not all good.

As my other man Christopher Hitchens said: "Faith is the surrender of the mind; it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals."

Anyway, I'm not even sure why I jumped into this discussion, been watching far too much Christopher Hitchens recently lol.

Who doesn't like a good Hitchslap! I love the man, sad that he was taken from us way too soon.
