New Official Website Thread

Post by Josh »

It's been an amazing day for us Boards of Canada fans. Some great new music and the debut of the next iteration of the official BoC website. I think the Pentland Hills viewed on degraded film background is both lovely and quintessential BoC.

I look forward to any and all future additions and updates that we'll be scrutinizing and discussing.

Oh, and here's an FYI for those of you who might not be seeing the "sign up for first access" form on the site, as was the case for me until about 5 minutes ago. Try turning off your VPN if you use one. I did everything but this (changed browsers, settings, devices, etc.) and was starting to wonder where the hell my interface was. :lol: It finally occurred to me that it could be my VPN. It was. The More You Know...

It's a small and probably unimportant thing, but I love they have a dedicated page back. It feels necessary to have something separate from Bleep.

New email from Warp, it says "believe in yourself"Image
It is the Self, the individual Mind, that contains immortality and ultimate truth.
Now I know where the Self is. It's in our own minds. It's a form of human energy. Our atoms are six billion years old. We've got six billion years of memory in our minds.

Someone said the smudges are moving around the website but I don't have the time to refresh like that to know if it's true. Anyone confirm?

Scanned through the code. Nope. Maybe that person was on shrooms?

Its just a pretty basic style layout. See for yourself!

Code: Select all

<style>

There isn't really much JS. This was coded by hand lol! Wonder if the brothers did it or some intern. I like to think the brothers, finally mastered their PHP skills!

Just clued into the fact that at some point in the last week or so, the website 'subscription' button now says REGISTER FOR UPDATES. Previously, it had said REGISTER FOR FIRST ACCESS - not sure when that changed? I'm sure it's nothing, perhaps just to deter wild speculation. Or maybe now that the exclusive listening event tickets have come and gone, 'updates' makes more sense. :wink:

I trust your suspicion: It likely changed after the invites were sent out for first access to the listening parties at the beginning of this month.

I guess first access was referring to the album announcement, rather than the listening event. I looked back at my emails on April 22nd; turns out the message from Warp came through at 2:50pm, and everything was posted on social channels at 3pm. Also, it's not as if the listening parties had a pre-sale or priority booking system, so the term 'first access' doesn't exactly apply to that.

Basically, we got to find out about Inferno 10 minutes before everyone else 8)
