Where have the boys from Boards of Canada gone?

Someone tweeted that there maybe a new BoC release.

There does seem to be a new artist called Boards of Canada in Apple Music.

So maybe … or maybe not :slight_smile:

Does not seems legit at first sight.

Surprisingly, I found the new Mac DeMarco instrumental abum “Five Easy Hot Dogs” to have a nice BoC vibe (Campfire Headphase style at times):

It’s based on earth’s rate of rotation measured relative to the fixed stars? :thinking:

As a Canadian, this makes me cringe. I know the whole concept of flags is flawed, but what a collection of aesthetic failures this is! Even the Nunavut one, which is only about twenty-five years old, and about as far away from the Anglo-Saxon tradition as one can get in the country, which I guess is not very far.

All flags are funny

I like those flags! The prince edwards and new brunswick ones are cool. I think the european thing of having all flags look the same is dumb.

Its like the designers had a folder of clip-art named ‘British stuff’ and the assignment was to arrange flags from said clip-art using MS Word

It looks like you’re designing a flag. Would you like to download some half-baked shite from the 'net to help with that?

MHTRC and Geogaddi got me right from the beginning, and are two of my favorite albums of all time, but The Campfire Headphase didn’t really hit me when it was first released and I’m not sure I’ve even made it all the way through Tomorrow’s Harvest.

Did the last two albums hit you right from the start or did they grow on you? I think maybe TCH has grown on me enough that I should grab it on vinyl (?), but I’m wondering if Tomorrow’s Harvest will ever grow on me. The inspiration of 1970s-80s sci-fi films seems like it should be right up my alley, but that album is just so dark and cold.

That’s kind of the point though isn’t it? Weirdly I started listening to it again Jan 2020 on the train to work and carried on until everything stopped, and it fit the times perfectly, like some tv movie from 1979. Actually when I first heard it in 2013, it made me think of this film I saw as a kid - Plague (1979 film) - Wikipedia

Is that a transformer that turns into a turntable? :slight_smile:

Looks very portable. What’s the name of that thing?

Looks like one of these:

Had never seen it before - pretty cool.

I’ll have to give it another shot. I’ve tried quite a few times, and it never pulls me in for some reason.

That film looks interesting. Will have a look!

Headphase took several years before it clicked for me. Save for a few tracks I’ve never felt any compulsion to revisit Tomorrow’s Harvest.
