"...a view into reality, the record's grooves. All the universe is a record, and we, too, are trapped inside."

This may be my favourite quote for a while.

Genuinely interesting conclusions you got there.
I understand what you are saying. It's the very nature of interpretation. It's also a flaw ...

Free your mind from the religions of the world, and you can free your inner child and better appreciate the precious, limited time we have.


I love this. Especially true when power is also a religion.

It sure is a religion, among many other things that may not get written down on travel papers ...

I would really like to dive deeper into what the title of this track means in relation to the rest of the album that follows, and of course how the vocal sample (a lecture) could be interpreted as a prophecy. And why is it “at” and not “from”?

You tune into radio stations at frequencies, not from ...

This track is possibly the best on the entire album.

I agree, I love it all but as soon as Deep Time comes on I have a visceral reaction that is unlike what any of the other tracks do to me. I'd still love to know why it was called Tape05 initially though.

Tape05 may just be a placeholder name ...

Still wonder what that swoopy giggly sound is. is it children's laughter? Is the process that of age regression through LLM-hypnosis?

It sounds like multiple samples of a child saying "ya", among other short words that sound like replies.

The first half of the song is an adult speaking rambling ...

*sigh*

I'm selling my kaleidoscope: https://ebay.io/m/Vo7jiW

I apologize for starting the bid at $500 Canadian dollars. I had to withdraw from school and tuition + fees gotta get paid.

I sold it early. Someone reached out to me with a reasonable offer and a plea as a superfan. I have enough ...

So what is the meaning of the actual prophecy? Just cool old tunes style vocal sampling that sounds cool but has no deeper meaning (a la Neon Genesis Evangelion riffing on Christianity because it was exotic to a Japanese audience and had no deep meaning), or did Mike specifically sequence the words ...

Ya, this song evokes visuals in my head involving a muscled man mounted on a machine gun attached to the back of a jeep. Very Mad Max style meets Rambo, but also guys attacking him on horseback with various weapons. Also feel some Thunderdome in there along with the fight to the death between Kirk ...

@ Wildfire:

See the attached image for what we could have had, before angry/reactive Redditors scared the kid away:

The owner of these files posted this find on the r/boardsofcanada subreddit but was essentially bullied into reclusion by the Reddit users who were skeptical of its authenticity ...

I think I will stick to my suspicion that Mike really had a personal vision with this album and Marcus was happy to have a big part in making his vision a reality.

The "To your brother" loop, from a nostalgic McDonalds training video in conjunction with this being a Music70 release only kind of leads me to believe a couple of things:

1. The notion that they were under a 5 LP contract from Warp and that they fulfilled it for this one is true.

2. It is ...

So, I have to say: My mind is darting around, frantically chasing various depths of theories and explanations for songs, parts of songs, samples, artwork, song titles, references..... I have wanted this feeling again for so long and IT'S BACK!

This band is the best. The. best.

This is one of the most soul-crushing, heart-wrenching songs I've heard. AWVFTS will certainly love this piece.

What if... only Mike was credited on Inferno because Marcus was working on BOCset.
:wink:

I have a theory that this is Mike's personal response to poor treatment from the church to himself or people he loves. The album was still a joined effort, but it may be similar to how The Wall was really ...

Perhaps the 'mirror' is much more personal. Perhaps it's a mirror when Mike reads it as if peering at the reflection of his own heritage.
Perhaps this album is a very personal response to Mike's treatment by the church. And the poor treatment received by many from the church. They can all just burn ...

A song so beautiful you can stare at the wall and not notice the wall.
I don't know how many of you have hit deep states of depression, but this song feels in the moment of it. A musical representation of being stunned and dazed by reality in that second half. Wow.

This may be the best driving song ever made. I need a car lol.

After reading some more in Giraud's book.... I really wonder if Metis blood flows in the veins of BoC. There is a good section in this chapter talking about the, and I quote: "Scottish half-breeds." And it seems The National Film Board of Canada has very much been a big help for the native community ...
