I got as far as "the pivot point that unites Brian Eno‘s Music For Airports with the modern electronic chill-wave movement" then closed the page.

Wow. Just heard this new track in the low quality vid and I have to say its reminding me of 747. Strangely it really did have a dark quality yet also a positive uplifting quality like one of those vague reviews suggested. This is going to be really good. Kiiiinda can't contain myself now.

yea you get where i'm coming frombreadmaker wrote: i'm not *entirely* on board with neil krug to be honest. he's quite good at what he does, but his particular brand of 70s revisionism seems to me, at times, a bit too obvious, and a bit style over substance. it's the kind of too-perfect, led zeppelin / vintage playboy retro chic that people like tycho are into and that i *assumed* BoC weren't interested in. a lot of his stuff just reminds me of the desert drug trip scene in oliver stone's "the doors."
it's possible that BoC admire his mastery of analog techniques and wanted to use his skills for their own aesthetic goals, as opposed to his usual "half naked california babe standing in a perfect circle of lens flare" kind of thing. and so far the results have been successful i think. though yeah ideally i would prefer their own film/video.

All I heard was this .
MHTRTC is probably my most listened to though. I've had it for like 14 years. That's almost half my life. Craziness.

First: Jar, you're a hero.
It's hard to hear, but there are a lot of little details and a lot of drums. It sounds like... the next step in Boards of Canada's sound. I'm so excited.

Looked like some more Yermo footage, so we have Yermo and Alameda/San Fran so far, wonder if any other specific locations will pop up

Yeah, I agree with breadmaker too. Anything retro deserves to die, but the stuff he's done for BoC is maybe a bit different. I think it will be determined by what the album is like, so we'll have to wait and see: "tomorrow's harvest" might encompass both the socioeconomic catastrophe we're starting to suffer and the possibility of something new to surpass the present rot. But it might be just some 70's-80's apocalyptic crap, and that would be very disappointing.

A lot depends on the order the albums were bought in, I think - I bought Geogaddi first, then The Campfire Headphase. Later I was hearing everywhere that MHTRTC was their best album and when I bought it it was great, but definitely felt like an 'earlier' album, if that makes sense.hexagon son wrote:This.

That blog post has a feel of 'yeah, I was in at the start when they were good, but I'm so much cooler now' hipsterness about it.

I'm on holiday so this is pretty inconvenient of BOC 
. I was poolside with all day so missed the live event. The wifi here is pretty bad but I'll try and listen later.
Barkertrax went and said it was pretty special to be amongst the 50-60 people actually there, hearing it for the first time. There were a lot of recordings made so there might be more to come.
I've asked about the flyers.

Yes. I asked about this in the other thread and didn't get an answer. Everybody was too excited about the music and video I guess.BunnyRabbit wrote:I've asked about the flyers.
