On a related note, do Michael and/or Marcus have any children? I vaguely remember reading about that. Anyway, if they do, it would be cool if their kids would succeed their fathers and continue the legacy that is Boards of Canada.
That would be cool indeed, however I feel Mike and Marcus have something special engrained in them from childhood which could not be replicated, even by their own kids.
VERY valid point, indeed.
How many musicians' kids actually fullfil their legacy? I mean, c'mon.
Contract-wise it will not be the end if this interview is correct: http://bocpages.org/wiki/Interviews#2005-10:_OOR (November 2005)

DUTCH:
Ze hebben plannen voor soloprojecten. Ze zijn in onderhandeling over een soundtrack van een grote film. Ze zijn alweer aan een nieuwe Boards Of Canada-plaat begonnen (ze hebben nog een contract voor drie albums bij Warp). Mike: 'De volgende plaat zal voor iedereen als een shock komen. Dit verwacht niemand van ons.' En er zijn zowaar plannen voor wat liveshows met band in het voorjaar. Maar dat gerucht ging drie jaar geleden ook. Sindsdien zwegen ze.

Why?
Because I dreamt of it last night, no joke!
To be honest last night I dreamt of getting trouble ordering it through the bleep shop - then I woke up, very upset aha.
Yeah, it was an EP to be released before the LP, though this is very unlikely. Who knows by the way.
That's not that crazy. I once dreamed that I was seeing them live in an amphitheater-type venue. They had that interview were they mentioned the idea of playing live. And when I was seeing them...it was so disheartening to hear everybody talking as if they were disinterested (think the chatter in the bootlegs).

Congrats on the 666 post.
No, I don't think so. Artists don't "retire" or "quit" making music. Sometimes they think they can. But no, they can't until they die. They just take breaks. They can definitely put one project to bed and start another but they never stop creating.
As far as Boards, I think they'll keep it alive. I mean, they're brothers, it's a great bond and partnership. I think Boards will go on till one of them leaves the planet.
They may not put out another album again, IDK, but I don't think they'll announce an end. I wouldn't.

I can't see them stopping making music, but I can see them running out of new ideas as Boards of Canada.
But if they wanted to release something that sounds hardly like BoC, they would probably do it secretly under a pseudonym because they wouldn't want people listening to it with the bias that they are Mike and Marcus.
Seems like they may have said they'd like to do this in an interview.
i was thinking this too. i don't know the details of their contracts. anything in this vein is possible.

aww man, that just evoked a really sad image for me. And made me want to call my brother.
But yeah, I agree, you don't make music your whole life and then just stop. I think it's just a question if they'll want to share it with the wider world. I seriously can't imagine what it feels like to have a huge following waiting for your every move and how it effects the creative process and how you relate to your art.
