I don't think this is what Boards Of Canada wants us to be doing.

Of all the feelings their music can muster, the ones I'm sensing here seem very far from them all.
I hope you guys can accept the possibility of the unknown and chalk it up to the nature of the internet.

With what Fredd-E and mdg have said, I'm 100% sure it isn't.

It has probably been an annoyance to them.

But it's finished now (I guess) and maybe there's something to be learned from it all.

(Unless I'm misunderstanding what you've said.)

Not that I don't think the forum should try to have a little income to support the site, but this particular method really looks a lot like malware.

Rest assured, it's not malware. http://www.viglink.com/

Yeah I figured that out after a brief moment of panic, but thanks for the reassurance.

he said, boc will say enough is enough as soon as people care more about new material than they do about unreleased material

BTW R35TT side 2 - if you say that this genuinely sounds worse than what you have then you need to send me what you have!

MDG's final statement not enough clarity then? MDG provided Mike & Marcus the flac files and cassette tape scans. Mike & Marcus analysed both and gave their feedback to MDG. MDG relayed us the feedback. Something tells me we can trust the people who actually made the tapes and the music on it.

no way jose (i mean fredd-e).

1. i can't imagine mike and marcus doing petty analysis like that.
2. something tells me we can trust anybody or nobody or something in between (preferably at a roll of a dice?)
3. clarity? where? he said 100% those are some old files which are clearly not. if he said "dudes, chill out, the 192kbps versions you had were a more true experience, trust me" was actually more clear and valuable than this 100% horse manure

Maybe BoC should hold a press conference during half time of the Brazil v Chile game tomorrow to tell the world what some of us already know.

Hey, maybe it's not the band tell us what to do, maybe it's us firstly who make choices. As soon as I start follow BOC music, I see that dilemma, people don;t wanna push the band for the release of the old unreleased material, for whatever reason it was not released, but also they want that material so badly, it's even not funny
But hey, I also enjoy Old tunes very much, it's contains some of the most beautiful moments in BOC music, maybe it's just no that cult status for me.

if there's a silver lining to this, i'm thinking the quick response from MDG/ Mike and Marcus with the 'don't pay money for these' could be an indication that the real deal isn't far off.

*facepalm*

I'm sorry.. but that's such a complete misreading. The advice to not throw away money is clearly purely as a result of a conviction that the copies now emerging are *not* new audio rips (high quality) but what are believed to be high-quality 'tuned up' versions of the long-time freely available versions.

first of all, official statements don't close cases unless you are Hitler, Stalin or some other person who is right just because he is "an official."

You lose this thread. FFS

i think thats been established. i was reading between the lines. too optimistic? ok, but i simply offered an opinion - versus arguing one.

At least it's more positive now, I really see it as an improvement tbh.
