GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC

[sandrail]

I would assume the bocset would include studio versions of the unreleased live stuff they played back in the day. That would be enough for me to get excited, not to mention outtakes from 1995- 2013.

Full studio version of Spiro plz

Second this, why it wasn’t on geogaddi I don’t know!

Bocpages says it was trimmed down from 90+ tracks, perhaps Spiro was one of the outtakes. Though I don't see any reference for that, so take it with a grain of salt.

I think it's safe to say that "90 tracks" is fairly exaggerated. I highly doubt there were/are ninety geogaddi-era, fully fleshed out tracks that were left out of the album. Same goes for that other mdg quote "...hundreds of tracks per year...". Again, 100's of full songs is unlikely. It's don't doubt that there is a lot of extra material but It's probably like a bunch of 30 second riffs they came up with or tiny demos for potential tracks.

That being said there probably are a bunch of full tracks out there but even if there aren't, I wanna hear it all lmao. Bring on the BOCset!

Side note: If it actually comes true that they're coming out with a new album and the BoCset simultaneously I don't even know what I'd do... Something is coming and I'm hyped! Can't wait to hopefully finally experience a new BoC release firsthand.

I'm in the same boat. And I don't count the Warp sessions. Want to be here for a bonafide BOC release

[arvy]

Yea, give me new BOCy. New, tasty, crunchy, BOCy CD. And a T-shirt. But, if in order to get a new record and a bocset I need to wait. First of all, me thinking, that boc and warp are both in a weird relationship status. They probably provided the record with some new secret stuff. The black cover space album with longest and most experimental tracks to date: jaqcuard causeway/alphaomega, reddit leak, are probably true. So, if in order, to get both, the new boc and a bocset, back to back, I need to wait, 1-2 years.
I just wait.

[derp!]

derp! what day is it agin? equinox? full moon whuut? "I got you" means whut now? back to reddit for more DERP!!

[vapordracula]

Humans: Deep thought, what is the meaning of life?

Deep thought: derp!

Humans: what the hell does that mean?!?

Deep thought: derp is the username of a member of Internet forum twoism, the word would take on new meaning in the mid-21st century and act as the battle cry for world domination. That. Is the meaning of life.

Humans: well that’s that, let’s get an intergalactic curry!


I have a question for derp! Are you a relative of xaugh?

[Echelon]

I think he’s a troll
I hope we get a BOC update soon so we won’t have to go down this road.


Though my own foresight tells me there won’t be anything more BOC related this year. Though I’d love to be wrong, so hopefully my negative prediction fools karma into making something happen

[ColinWallis]

a Boards of Canada Christmas sure would be nice

personally, i could actually see them doing a Christmas release or announcement, especially since one of the only Hell Interface songs is Christmas themed, also because they were posting from their HI accounts last year which is pretty bizarre..

i've been dreaming of a creepy Boards of Canada Christmas announcement video somewhat lol.

would be cool anyway!

[ColinWallis]

i wasn't meaning to suggest there is any good reason to believe this might happen by the way,

just saying i could see them doing something like that, and it would be awesome if they did.

The only thing that makes me hold out any hope for anything to happen right now, is when you take into consideration how early Squid was announced last year, aka Feb, and then released in May. That was Warp’s major blockbuster in the first quarter, and they spent a bit of time building up. Apparently, if Bleep is to be believed, it actually charted too.
Maybe we’ll get an announcement now for Dec. I think a slow-burn wait for a release would be fantastic. Especially if Warp puts the album up on their site with titles that we can all speculate over.

I’m all for a Dec release too, Colin. We’ve never gotten anything BOC related around that time

Godever kinda sounds like something christmas-y

[Navaru]

Gonna be that 2023 release.

[NTFMTS]

I feel like we'll see something in 2022

[Echelon]

Gonna be that 2023 release.

Good lord, I hope not. I’ve barely made it through this damned year.
It would be such a (powerline) misfortune, to have them simply wait for it to be 10 years. Funny though, because it would be a form of numerology. Though a very shallow one, imo

[NTFMTS]

Yeah, it def would be shallow numerology

[NorthSaturnian]

yeah, like scheduling a release for the 6th day of the 6th month of 2006
i'll take anything over nothing

[Orbited insanitarium]

Well at least we have more certainty that there is a release waiting than we did two months ago, the production line theory gives me hope for 2022 and talking about festive BoC, I’ll be taking my annual listen to 'whine on twoism' (volume 1 & 2) from all you talented chaps. so if no new BoC, there’s that!
