So is track 05 "father and son" the title of the music in the "Tape 05"? Similar lengths...

Should have posted first!

Introit - fairly straightforward, makes sense as a title for their traditional short intro track.

It reads as a kind of story? Some kind of demon summoning and then transportation to a different realm (hell)? Didn't someone mention Clive Barker around these parts lately?

Age of Capricorn comes after the Age of Aquarius apparently. Could this be a far, far future concept album?

Feels like they're projecting way, way out here, like this sort of timeline -

Yeah, it feels like that, doesn't it?

As mentioned the album thread, Naraka is Hell in Indian religions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naraka

Definitely a religion theme, again as mentioned, maybe Father and Son is a religion reference as well? Maybe anticipating a mass return to religion in the far future/end of times?

Looking at the possible explanations and even some possible numerology behind the tunes, it's certainly looking like a typical BOC album.....couldn't be more excited for it now.

These titles are tickling my brain. I mean, COME ON:

2. Prophecy At 1420 MHz
3. Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan

I hadn't heard of Platonia before, absolutely loving reading about it, right up my street.

idk the info feels a little iffy. from https://bocpages.org/wiki/Somewhere_Rig ... The_Future
Pairs with "You Retreat In Time And Space" and "I Saw Through Platonia" as the album's trio of time-transcendence titles — all three dismantling the listener's ordinary sense of duration.
There's more obvious time transcendence track titles. "dismantling the listener's ordinary sense of duration" sounds AI generated to me.

Same! It always interesting to see what sort of speculations can be determined based on track titles alone...which is why this thread excites me...its like prepping the mind to run wild once we can actually listen to the album.

Certainly could be using some AI to fill in the gaps for the time being. Very good point...it did seem odd that so much had gotten filled in so quickly. the more I read of what is in there, it does feel a bit off or seem strange..

Thoughts on the titles... reposted from another thread...

Prophecy At 1420 MHz is significant in interstellar communication because it is associated with hydrogen, part of the Water Hole in the spectrum, and associated with the Wow! signal as well, of course.

Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan, Hydrogen, helium, lithium are the three lightest elements in the universe, created during the Big Bang nucleosynthesis during the first ~20 minutes of the evolution of the universe.

Age Of Capricorn Astrological age roughly AD 4000-6000

Naraka is the realm of hell in Indian religions

I Saw Through Platonia my bet is on: Platonia (philosophy), a hypothetic timeless realm by Julian Barbour containing every possible momentary configuration of the universe.

Have a good day.

This is going to be prospêctive and philosophical, involving cross over from memory vs deep time. Deep time is not necessarily happy times when you start facing the immensity of it.

Hydrogen and Lithium are used in thermonuclear hydrogen bombs and after the fusion reaction Helium is produced.
