If anyone is interested, Elephant Eyelash is a great album by Why?. Also, have any of you guys ever heard Dntels solo work? "Life is Full of Possibilities" is such a good cd. I am excited about his remix too.

Dntel's latest is pretty dire, but they had a remix competition for the single 'Dumb Luck', which my band did a pretty fantastic synth-pop remix of:

Sorry for the plug.
The new remix excites me. I wonder if it'll be as good as 'Dead Dogs Two'.

Good news about Boards still being active. BTW I love the new Radiohead it grows on me more and more everytime I listen to it.

I don't think doing remixes is what's keeps the rate of releases slow.

Some of their remixes are amongst their best work, though. I always love hearing what they can do to someone else's music.

but if they didnt do remixes then it would knock 3 or so months off waiting time for a new album

I'm sure they're capable of working on more than one project at a time! Besides, all work and no play....etc. They can take just as long as like making the next record as far as I'm concerned and if they want to do a few remixes along the way, that's just fine.
In your own time lads.

Quit complaining ffs..remix or whatever, its
new Boards of Canada. Once they remix something it practically becomes a separate entity..ahaha.

Great news

really looking forward to this track!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Broken Drum, Last Walk Around Mirror Lake and Dead Dogs Two is some of Boards Of Canadas best material!
Maybe Why and Dose One will bring back the favours on BOCs new one.

Side point (possibly unrelated but...) - the myspace site is saying "Hexagon Sun, New Zealand". How long has it said that? I've never noticed it before. Wondering if they are recording abroad? Certainly New Zealand has a cool vibe to write in, I'm sure.

I'm sure recall them saying in an interview somewhere that they had spent time in NZ writing before? Or did I dream it? Not sure.... Good omens though, surely?

didn't Mike/Marcus say that he was considering moving abroad to NZ because his girlfriend lives there?

From WIRE interview oct 2005
"It's not as if these two aren't well travelled. Sandison once lived in London for a couple of years; they've lived in Edinburgh itself and, when they decide to take a break from their recording (and each other) to spend time with their partners, they're off travelling on the other side of the world - Sandison mentions recent trips to France, Australia and New Zealand (where he's thinking of moving), while Eoin's considering a new life in Hong Kong with his Chinese girlfriend."

Do you have a link to that interview? I'm having trouble finding it on google and FreddE's page.

Transcription, surely.
That is an interesting addition to the site. I wonder too, with all those images of planes and so forth, whether they were trying to tell us something, back when they were put up. Also, might explain the red moon event last year. Was it a goodbye to old friends? A last chance to do one? Perhaps.
Well, my contact had nothing to add about the remix, other than to confirm the whole thing. Sorry.
