Those are decisions still to be made, as their current live/work set-up is working well for them. "This whole project has come about with us living on the outskirts of Edinburgh," he says, "and for the last two decades we've been working on it from here, and we've had no reason to want to relocate to the city or to the south or anything, it's as simple as that. In fact, we actually find to some extent this so-called hermetic bubble that we live in is actually making it a lot easier for us to do our thing and not feel any urge to make it DJ friendly, or make it work for a certain social or club environment."

What is happening is that BOC are building a new reel to reel for the last stage of the mastering. The reel to reel is made out of crackers (which are quite dry and brittle, making them difficult to work with), and the tape head is made out of cheese (which obviously melts when it gets hot, so you only have one chance to get the master down). Because BOC are purists, they are not buying crackers from a shop, oh no, they are making them from scratch, by hand. Respect to them for that. Also, they are making their own cheese; it is a mature Scottish cheddar, and the process can't be rushed, or you end up with a young tasting cheese, which will NOT DO for savoury reel to reel construction (and I'm sure we've all made THAT mistake in our previous experiments, I know I have).
I expect too, that BOC will be deploying the 'magic antler' method of compression, which involves wearing a tailor made stag suit with brightly coloured antlers, and trampolining upon the finished master. Then, at midnight, the antlers turn into a pink 'my little pony', which you MUST ride like a racing jockey to a small Mexican farm which specializes in growing organic nachos hydroponically (of course - it wouldn't make sense otherwise, would it?). If you are either a minute late, or early upon arriving at the Mexican farm, the natives will throw rice crispies at you, and your finished master will immediately turn into the theme tune to the Six Million Dollar Man played on gazoos. Can you imagine the shame of returning to your studio, covered in rice crispies riding on a shitty little pink plastic horse with a man-made fibre mane only to present a bad redux of the Six Million Dollar Man theme played on inappropriate instruments to the record company? How can anyone be blamed for avoiding such a situation? If the album hasn't come out by next year, I will write an even dafter post than this to keep us all going!

Bryan wrote:Still not buying any of the arguments being thrown out here. This isn't comparable to a major movie where you avoid a same weekend release - if anything the more quality selections you have out the better. At $15 a pop we're not talking automobile sales either, so having near simultaneous releases like Autechre and BoC would be complimentary to each other. For that matter anything more than a month or two before and after the Warp20 strikes me as a stretch of logic.

I'm on record elsewhere as being a disbeliever of the MDG character so I won't sidetrack us with that discussion here.
