A space themed LP6 would be interesting.

LP5 under, LP6 over. Heaven's gate, Scientology, Knights of the Solar temple. The past optimism of the Sci-Fi future in the space age, the crushing reality, followed by cautious reinterest.

Touched on sonically a little with HHLL and You Retreat perhaps.

Eh, they kinda already did space theme with Inferno, and also TCFHP. I feel like it would be a bit too much of an obvious nod at this point.

Feels like that's more just one track from each album mostly. Something that goes into UFO cults, alien obsession, belief in immortality through science and sci fi and so forth.

It really sounds like just an operation to rake in tons of emails to send newsletters, it would be aligned with the overall feeling of "milking the cash cow" that this release has felt compared from previous ones from BoC.

If they really wanna ""milk the cash cow"" then they should restock the tshirts on bleep. Some of them are only available in extreme sizes now. And those weren't even purportedly limited afaik like the cassette etc

Why not try wearing it as a dress? Also, no, they need to add more sizes! XXX.XL!

Yes, I totally get you here. I'd love them to go full astral projection into the cosmos. Re-direct their energy from syncopation to harmony, less drums, more ambience, more orchestral arrangements like Deep Time, complex sonic lusciousness. I love BOC when they go ambient. Sundown and Deep Time are two of my favourite tracks by them.

+1 vote for space theme on LP6.



But now that we've said it out loud they're not going to do it.


Also dangerous for any fictional universe, after space and hell there's nowhere left to go. The final frontier if you will.

The human psyche is an infinite source of inspiration, really, or they could go full meta and do an alsum that circles through their own discography themeline, tho I feel rethreading is not in their genes.

For the love of god, please no space album. No. No! Next, why not Disco? Yeah, the next boards of canada music should be a 70s, space disco album. It should sound exactly like... this!

I think you need to understand the difference between a style and a theme. Disco is a style.
