Did anyone actually get a reply

go outside and get some fresh air."

If I were to mail a letter to Music70 today, would that be allowed? Or is doing something like that discouraged? Just a dumb idea I had floating around in my head for a while. Not sure what’s compelling me to do it, maybe I’m just thinking they'd just appreciate the snail mail in an age where that’s very much going out of fashion.

wish in one hand, dook in the other?

No point in trying, the music70 PO box hasn't been owned by them for years. Most recent information on it is that it was subsequently owned by a Chinese school, so anything you send there won't reach the brothers or anyone from Hexagon Sun.

N.B. also don't send letters to any private addresses you might come across, for obvious reasons.

Boards thank you for being audio engineers and airing out everyone's mental dirty laundry. Audio Dry Cleaners everyone.

Needs more time in the wash. Not clean enough yet. Get some Daz in it, and some cillit bang...

The whole thing has been done for years they're just waiting for their tape machine to slowly degrade the audio, one day's spin is one second of a track.

The mythos goes that they take all the tape out, jump up and down on it, run over it with the car, make it very wet out in the rain to give it that wowowow type sound. Its the drying process that really takes the time, tumble drying on a very low setting for days on end so that the tape doesn't shrink too much when drying.

I heard the master tape got stuck in the machine and they've been painstakingly been trying to remove it for years

I would expect nothing less than this and will be surely disappointed if the new album isn't exactly this.

If only
I'd bet it is something mundane and probably stupidly infuriating

• The tape archive got corrupted and we lost everything
• There was a fire at the compound, every bit of celluloid is up in smoke
• Warp has been pushing for X and we won't bend
• We delivered Y and Warp is not having it
• It was distributed to friends and that's that
• Marcus went full bio and the tape, made of birchbark, was eaten by a microscopic species of termites
• Evan, Mike's son, let the family gerbil feast on the cuttings that were going to be used to craft the final cut and thus was irremediably lost, further more, the brothers took to hot hair ballooning and have tasked themselves of the first Scotland to Nova Zemlya on a leap year by said balloon guided only by the whimsical power of the crystals.

I'll bet 5 quid it was this one.

Did you make that name up or where did you find the mythical son's name thy ponderer.

It was but a facetious creation, but I am sure that deep AI search can scour available leaks and find some tendrils that would tie citizen X with citizen A.

It does initiate a thought process in Me tho, considering that the Internet is quickly becoming a wasteland of slop and robot/agents talking to other robots/agents with the human content at risk of collapsing (current estimates and data indicates it may have plateaued), perhaps LP5 will be about the death of the Internet, in a sense, perhaps BoC will feel vindicated in a way, the internet is evil is one of their lines, it sounds like there is now a pathway for that evilness to implode, at least from a human content and usability perspective.

But then the rise of AI, Superhuman Intelligence and the Frankenstein Complex makes for such cliché a subject to elaborate on, it has been flogged to death since the 1940s

Perhaps LP5 will be about microscopic termites coprolites and their use in recovering meaningful data (see my previous post above for glib reference.)

Very interesting. I sure hope the microscopic termites are paid well and are all part of a union or something. They deserve all the credit for making this release special. Thank you termites!

New visitors of this thread, please note:

Visiting a mausoleum involves quiet reflection, respect for the deceased and other visitors, and often leaving flowers or mementos at the crypt entrance, similar to a gravesite.
Remember to keep voices low, avoid touching markers unless permitted, and follow any specific rules of the facility, as mausoleums are peaceful, solemn places for remembrance.

Big if true!

Late to this but obvious hoax right?

Interesting that OP deleted all their comments to the questions on the post but could mean anything. Would love to hear high quality, digitized versions of those tracks.
