I’m not sure how reliable that query someone is doing on Reddit is, but this has me pumped.

Not getting my hopes up here, but then again we could all do with a wee bit of hope with what’s been going on in this world right now.

Most of my scepticism faded when Lone posted that he got a tape.
Outlook is favourable!

It only took a world war, a religious holiday and a moon mission. Still waiting for that frame by frame breakdown someone’s going to post.

Sending mysterious video tapes to random people is kind of creepy. But when Warp do it it’s ok. :slightly_smiling_face:

I never gave a sh… about these marketing puzzles. And in times where every little thing gets talked to death in the media it becomes even more of a gimmick imo.

Can’t wait to hear the album though. Hopefully it won’t take long until it drops. If it really drops at all. Because technically it’s still a “mystery”. :ghost:

Back in the band?

I have a question, what are the chances of the recipients of tapes having a VHS player, and indeed an NTSC player? i’m sure this has been disected I’m just expecting you all to provide a summary.

I believe there is some increased probability that BoC fans still have some VCR player. And not all of the cassettes are NTSC - there is also PAL version and they were distributed accordingly to the local standard.

Don’t even need to have one. Just know someone with one. Failing that, buy a cheapo off ebay

I love these kind of mysteries. In a world like it is now, where everything is completely available, immediate and obvious it’s great to have these kind of events.

We lost David Lynch but at least we still have BoC.

Might still need a TV or monitor with a suitable input as well.

Well you asked :wink:

The only way boards could be more relevant is if they sent it out on Betamax. Or wax cylinder. Or papyrus. Or drew some hexagons in a cave.

I’d fly across the world for BoC cave hexagons.

I saw some hexagons in a cave last week but thought nothing about it. Might go on a hike tomorrow and harvest me some cave stones.

I think they are poking fun at their own cult status with their timing & imagery.

I just can’t believe it. I received the damn tape !!!
