LP5 - Inferno

[valleaux]

IT'S HAPPENING!!! The Bleep website was being odd for me too, so I ordered through Bandcamp with no problem. And now we wait...

Hey, this is my first post here, I'm super excited for the new LP and found through this site that there will be planned listening events, a possible music video and more! https://thevaultcollectiveltd.co.uk/pro ... da-inferno

I linked the poster directly but seems like the product page doesn't show the image anymore.

Prophecy At 1420 MHz

They're referencing the "WOW! signal"

In a 1959 paper, Cornell University physicists Philip Morrison and Giuseppe Cocconi had speculated that any extraterrestrial civilization attempting to communicate via radio signals might do so using a frequency of 1420 megahertz (21-centimeter spectral line), which is naturally emitted by hydrogen, the most common element in the universe and therefore likely familiar to all technologically advanced civilizations.

WHATTHEEEEE

Just had to log in for the first time since 13 years to say I’m equally as excited as everyone else on here (and fun to see some others dust off their accounts)!

Also the records are available to pre-order online at my local (Dutch) record store now (just ordered the red vinyl version!), so for those struggling with Bleep check your local options as well!

And, not sure if this was mentioned before, announcing this album on Earth Day can’t be a coincidence right?

I wondered if track 06 “somewhere right now in the future” is a reference to Sean from Autechre’s amazing quote about BoC “they’re probably somewhere in the future, worrying about why it’s not like the past”

Into The Magic Land omg I am liking these titles.

What do we think of the family logo thing on the main website? https://boardsofcanada.com/

IMO they look a bit weird, their heads are too big. And they're facing away. And there's 4 kids? Huge family by today's standards

To me it doesn't look like a family, but rather a timeline of two figures (male and female) growing up.

The outlines of the two central figures look like teenagers, not adults, but that's just a guess.

They just seem intentionally self-similar compared to their other "family" logos/icons, where the adults and children are clearly delineated.

That's an interesting point, I guess the middle pair could be teenagers, which makes it ... weirder

Hahaha I'm in a virtual queue to order a t shirt. Liking the album cover, very 70s.

[Cupz]

Also don't own a creditcard. Guess I'm not getting a red one. Anyone know where I can preorder with iDEAL?

Not feeling the album art. The font doesn't scream BOC and neither does the title.

It is literally the same font that's on Music Has The Right To Children cover - ITC Bauhaus, it's just larger and bold and upper case. I personally love it, total 70s video nasty vibe.

It's not the same font. Source: I'm a designer.

Thanks skytree! I couldn't figure out how to post the image. Duh.

My pleasure. The forum post functions are pretty ancient! I'm so old I used to design websites in Notepad. It's good to feel useful.

Aye, seems to me like a purposeful twist on familiar BoC iconography. They're not holding hands either, like they're separated by time.
