Don't reactivate them! They will start releasing steam from their ears.

so talking, without getting to the point, Boards of Canada is asociated with satanic themes. Is this should be funny or not, what is the point, seems like he knows something and willing to share with us

I think their “satanism” is a byproduct of their certainly diabolical humor. It’s the same reason I drop “satanic” anti-Christian eggs in my own music—it makes me smile! What fun to drop evil back-masked pagan samples that a grinning evangelist would nod along to but never notice!

It’s the exploration of a theme.

It looks from reports that they are putting the final touches to LP5 in their underground studio with the hexagon lighting. It's a bit of a surprise, from the media picture, on who the brothers have brought in to mix the album as they look on approvingly:

This is perfect. The new album has been blessed by the pope him self. How much more teasing can we take?

satanic, no. into mysticism and spirituality yes. The name of the channel that hosts the live Julie and Candy is the same name as a medieval manuscript on alchemy. There is also a stage in alchemy known as the peacock's tail

I've even seen comments saying the dialogue in Nothing is Real is satanic, but to my mind it represents someone questioning their faith, which is a natural thing, especially when you consider the theme of Tomorrow's Harvest being apocalyptic

In the context of history, we live in an age of unparalleled science and rationality. But despite this, religion and ideas of mysticism – along with other fringe concerns such as conspiracy, etc – continue to thrive. I gather that you're rationalists, atheists, etc – but the idea of the mystic obviously has an appeal to you ...


"Eoin: "There's a lot to play with there, for an artist. It affects people even if they don't consider themselves to be religious. Nobody really wants to accept that we're just a colony of organisms hurtling through a void on a ball of rock. I'd guess that's it, that the most rational individual doesn't really want to have his beliefs completely confirmed. It's in human nature to pursue spiritual or fantastic things, for whatever reason, that's why we like art and escapism, isn't it? Humans like to feel there's a purpose, even if there isn't one!""

that's an excellent quote, thanks for sharing

"humans like to feel there's a purpose", I've often felt the meaning of life is to create one's own meaning. I would argue that spirituality and art in some form is almost as important to a healthy human being as food and water. Fringe concerns may thrive in an environment where there is good reason for conspiracy, they may also thrive when there is a lack of other material to sustain oneself. "From one source all things depend" could be a reference to god, and it would be logical to think so given the words spoken in the song. It could also reference the big bang when all matter in the known universe was condensed to a single point

Here's a really tinfoil hat theory for you all. PIC posted this story a few days ago, showing a camera on a tripod facing towards what looks like a quarry with two tyres in the foreground. What's interesting is there are intentional black highlights added above each tyre. Two tyres = perhaps a subtle hint at... two brothers?

Maybe it's a stretch, but the editing is clearly very deliberate, and I can't think of anything else obvious it could be alluding to.

You're right, I've certainly never seen the number 2 in any other contexts

Now now, I wouldn't say maybe. :roll:

They already did! Nobodys home... Its summer! Everybody should go outside and go touch that grass. I'm sure that's what the brothers are doing right now.
