The set contains a total of 13 standard black 12" discs, making it Warps largest vinyl release to date. The number of discs is also intentional.


A/B/C/D - Catalog 3
E/F - Acid Memories
G/H/I/J - Closes Vol. 1
K/L - Play by Numbers
M/N - Hooper Bay

O/P - Music Has The Right To Children b-sides (including 'happy cycling', unreleased tracks off 'BOC Maxima', and more)
Q/R - Geogaddi b-sides (including 'from one source all things depend', and more)
S/T - The Campfire Headphase b-sides (including 'macquarie ridge', and more)
U/V - Tomorrow's Harvest b-sides (including 'harvest ritual', and more unreleased material originally slated to release as a follow-up EP in 2015)

W/X - Misc. unreleased tunes, as heard in leaked "a few old tunes", "old tunes vol. 2", "random 35 track tape" mixtapes.

Y/Z - double sided etched vinyl of various mathematical concepts and boc-related imagery (pioneer plaque humans, boc compound, etc.)


Each set of records is housed in it's own sleeve with original and touched up artwork.

At the same time as this release, will be a brand new 2xLP Boards of Canada album with similar minimalistic artwork to the outer sleeve of the bocset. The album is themed around space travel and features long, droning synths with deep, spaced out drum patterns. The album is their most cohesive yet with most tracks building off the previous one as if the entire album was one continuous song. Elements and samples of their previous albums drift in and out of the mix and become more distorted and distant as the album goes on.

Nope, nothing. It was pretty similar last year, and I was hoping there was something secret and magical going on, but all it turned out to be was a Stereolab reissue that took until February to come out.

I've come to the conclusion that either there's no rhyme or reason to the way Warp releases stuff, or if you want to get paranoid/tin foil hat about it, they/or BOC themselves actually read people's predictions about BOC's schedule and negate it. The latter is a joke, but you never know.

Fingers crossed that they announce something BOCy this week though

I STILL want to believe. Whoever came up with this needs to join Hexagon Sun asap, for the sake of all humanity.

I'd say it's merely been a subpar year for them, as opposed to a long-term decline in quality. 2020 was pretty great. If we're talking strictly heavy hitters, let's not forget that last year we had TWO new Autechre albums, a new Oneohtrix record, and brand spankin' new Squarepusher for the first time in ages.

With a bit of luck, Warp will be back on form in 2022.

Depending on what happens globally it's possible. But I think we're just going to continue to see more and more world events that will change our worlds and the things we enjoy. Flares are going to come back in fashion and take the world by storm.

what do you mean by flares back in fashion? a continuation of the alternative history war between Churchill and Stalin? Balalaikas and early gray tea should come back in style
