Thanks for shaping experimental into what it is today. I wouldn't be making the way I do today if it weren't for your influence on my initial influences.

Thank you for your inspiring work which has encouraged me to make music and thanks also for breaking the years wait and putting out Tomorrow's Harvest. Can't wait to hear it and I wish you all the best!

AH! Hehe. Thank you, guys, for bringing so much joy and inspiration into my life. If it was not for you two, I wouldn't know where I was going. I would have never truly grown up. I would have never gotten past those things that should never happen to a 13 year old. But you helped me in ways you may never know, and I am so grateful...

Thank you.

Thank you, Boards of Canada!

This mystery hunt was one of the most awesome campaigns I've ever witnessed and the fact it culminated in announcing a new album makes it even more awesome. But whatever the culmination was - be it a concert, a reissue of old tunes cassetes or those elusive private records, a modern dance interpretation of Basefree with an all-hamster cast - I would've been happy!

These past 2 weeks were a thrill, and I want to also thank those guys who invented the Internet so that we all could be part of it!

And, of course, thank you BoC for being one of the few artists who majorly shaped my taste in music and art.

Last but definitely not least, thanks and cheers to all of you guys on Twoism! I'm not as active as most of you around here, but this is certainly the most kind and open-minded online community I've had the honour to be a small part of, and I feel like I've grown to know you very well and I really love you all!

I just want to say that I commend you in your perceptibility, for opening your minds to the psychedelic world of alchemical processes and your ability to convey these worlds so ripely through your music. I commend you for giving these new realities a fresh sound.

most importantly, I thank you for introducing a new language into our world of language, and I thank you for reminding us of our own doors of perception (or 'release valves', as I like to call them) in your own unique way.

thank you, thank you, thank you, Mike and Marcus, and thank you to the whole of the Hexagon Sun collective; you guys truly work wonders.

keep doing what you're doing and remain detached, it is your ultimate lesson.

I want to say thank you, but now you've put me in a quandary...to play the new vinyl or not - that is the question :D :D

I've just got to say - every day that we went without word/hint about the new album was worth it for the way this new one was released. I will remember this for the rest of my life. Thank you for such great music and for putting on quite the fun experience!

Also, whatever personal reason it was that delayed this - I really hope it wasn't anything TOO bad, and if it was - then you have my sincerest sympathy and I hope that this album helps you and your family.

My eternal gratitude to the brothers Sandison.

...most of all for helping me learn how to truly 'listen'.

I definitely would like to thank you both. I've had a fairly fucked up life so far and if it weren't for music and art, in general, I would surely be dead. In particular, I've been able to find a source of peace in your music. I can center myself very easily in your sound. I, too, have always thrived off of nostalgic thoughts, feelings, smells, sounds and vibes, since before I can remember. For some, it's just a passing feeling. For me, it's what keeps me hanging on. And Your music immediately brings this nostalgia to the forefront and connects me to my surroundings in a very serene and special way. From the dark sounds to the light sounds, it's all so perfect. There is something in your aesthetic that can not be found in any trivial religion or drug and I am eternally grateful. You've inspired an entire forum of like minded people to create it's own community and music, for the soul purpose of sharing our personal love of this sound and our individual creativity with each other. That's fucking awesome. Thank you so much.

Great job to the fans and BoC for sure! I honestly never thought that this would happen during my lifetime. So to take part in this 'quest' and stand-by for the release has made it all the worthwhile.

With what's happened over the past week and a half, it makes me wonder...what other secrets and messages do they have for us in their upcoming album? -chills-

Mmm this is little bit touchy feely for me, but I'll capitulate and say

Cheers Mike, Cheers Marcus!!! I love you!

Thanks for the new album I was having serious doubts anything would happen, and I'd like to apologise for all the stupid (drunk) remarks I made over on watmm, they were born of frustration.

You two try being a BoC fan, it's hard work I tell you.
