Based on their approach to making music and that "internet is evil" thing they used to have on hexagonsun.com, I wouldn't be surprised if they are still semi-Luddites. Maybe they aren't even particularly aware of all of us obsessive fans begging for a new release.

I can see some truth in that

I'm pretty sure i read an interview where one of them said that the internet is one of the main sources of information for them.

You're right. In 1998, they said:

What about the Internet, do you use that?
"Yes, a lot; we spend quite some time on it. We've been using it for a while now. For the last few months, we've also been making use of it in the studio, to look for sounds and images. There's an important artistic site, a platform, which has got a page on us, but at the moment we're working on making our own site, which will be a little work in itself, a mini-opus of sounds, pictures, and experiences."

Then again, in their MHTRTC era, I believe they were still using computers heavily in their production. They quit using computers (except for arranging/sequencing in Logic) in Geogaddi and later albums iirc. Maybe their optimism for the Internet soured as they saw it develop during the last decade.

Here's what I think, don't know for sure, but I got a hunch...

The "internet is evil" thing = joke. That's all.

You've been doing a lot of thinking lately. You know that's dangerous, right?

Well the end of the internet is near since ACTA is already signed by 22 countries. Bye bye internet freedom. Orwell is laughing his boney ass off in his grave. All is lost. Brothers must have seen this coming .

I literally fucking hate lobbyists, corporations and money-hungry record companies who want to restrict the freedom of speech and go through ALL of our information. Big brother is here fellas. Twoism could get charged for the pictures that are used in the forum since they are copyrighted material.

I remember i read an interview with them (pitchfork one i think??) and they said that one of them had just become a dad. The more i think about it i get the feeling the guys just want to chill with their familys and take a break from music.

All the more reason for them to finish up what they've started and release it doncha think?

As a musician and father, I can say without doubt that this doesn't last years, at some point you just want to chill out with your buddies and take a break from family

I have a good source who tells me that the brothers have retired from music and are now focusing on their business making breakfast cereals and bars under the name Boards of Granola. Their slogan is 'Children Have the Right to Muesli!'
