Yes, I've always thought that a lot of their sounds come from degraded samples rather than analog synths, and they've mentioned using samplers in interviews. Pretty sure none of those are factory samples, they sound quite noisy like they could have been recorded from crappy tape recordings or ...

Yeah I saw that yesterday and I'm surprised there aren't more people freaking out about it, unless they're assuming it's not real? There are definitely some familiar samples on there including the one at 20:22 which used to be on the old website years ago

IMO each album is an individual entity which exists on its own terms. There are overlaps in themes and sounds but I don't think of any album as a sequel to another one

There is no way anyone could have faked any of these tracks

I don't understand all of the votes for Acts of Magic. I generally like the shorter BoC tracks and this is one of their best IMO, in fact I thought it would have made a good intro track for the album when I first heard it

I though I'd mention that flexidiscs aren't as durable as normal vinyl so probably best not to play it too many times

Anyone else experience this?

In my experience coloured vinyl does tend to have more surface noise. I noticed that on mine but it wasn't too bad

Hard to narrow it down to 3. Age of Capricorn is my current favourite but I think we need to do this again in a few months

Would that be 1:00 gmt AM or PM?

It says 01:00 so I assume that's AM

What time do the digital versions go live on Bleep for download? Midnight London time? I am on US West coast and I'd rather not wait until 9pm tonight to stream on Spotify...

I was tempted to fire up my VPN and see if I can get the tracks early off Bleep :mrgreen:

I've just tried setting my VPN ...

Just to add to the confusion Marcus has writing credits for some of the tracks on the ASCAP site

Has anyone in the UK received a dispatch email yet, or even the vinyl itself?

Got an email today at 9:54 AM.

Same, for both red vinyl and CD. I chose standard delivery. I feel like I'm retreating through time and space waiting ...

I don't actually mind reading reviews - half of them are contradicting each other anyway so I still don't really know what to expect. I listened to Prophecy a couple of times when it came out to satisfy my curiosity but I won't be playing it again until I can hear the whole thing

If you want a decent review the Resident Advisor one is worth checking out

I'm in the UK and they usually arrive roughly on release date

There's an option to set it in the user control panel. Personally I really dislike the red one!

What makes t worse is how disconnected they seem from modern music. While techno and dance music have exploded globally (people meeting, dancing & sweating together) BoC sound like they exist in a parallel universe. Their music increasingly feels like it's made for isolation, headphones on ...

Apparently, someone from Bleep posted an update on Reddit about the red vinyls

Hello everyone, I'm glad to be back after so many years.

I wonder if anyone had heard about a 19th track in the Japanese Edition ? (Like they did with the 24th track from Geogaddi)

For now 19th spot on Apple Music is taken by the inferno annoucement video now but that video ended abruptly and it ...
