Where have the boys from Boards of Canada gone?

I guess, they’re not boys anymore.

BOC are the masters of only saying it through the music.

Looking forward to a few more unexpected treats before they stop!

They said this was the album that made them go in the direction the are famous for. The more you listen to the track infinty(esp instrumental version) the more you know.

Absolutely brilliant track. It feels like a great beat to rap over only in retrospect imo.

To have that foresight to combine the sonics in that way is just excellent.

Thanks SoM for BoC!

That instrumental version is definitely proto-BOC. What an amazing track, I can see why the BOC boys found inspiration in it.

Yeah, there’s no way to know for certain but I’ve been into BoC for decades and I’m convinced this is them

It could be Cult 48/Pentagrams Of Discordia

I’m pretty sure that’s not a BoC track. The melodies and chords are a bit too generic. Hard to explain. To me it sounds like a boring rip off. BoC always have something strange going on. This track sounds a bit too perfect to me.

…but it’s not even close. The overall recording, and the sounds are generic. Most notably the percussion.

the whole thing is an anaemic BoC imitation, but yeh the percussion is a dead giveaway.
