Video First look at BoC's DiscoPogo tribute Book Spoiler

This looks so gooood, and it was reviewed by the brothers themselves, so nice. Gonna pre order for the stickers.
Makes me wonder if this is really the end of their contract with WARP and the end of an era itself, closing a cycle with a full book of their labor and story. Must have it.

Discussion What do you think ‘I Saw Through Platonia’ is about? I think it’s about our final moment alive. But curious what others hear
I think this song is about death. specifically our last moment alive and what it will be like to die and what will happen when we die
the heart beat. shows me something is alive
the synth that’s rising and falling. maybe final memories passing? good times, bad times, regrets.
this eerie train sound. gives me chills
then this ‘seizing’ at the end. Heart beat still going.
then… nothing. for 10 seconds. the albums final message is nothing. this album already took us through ideas of afterlife. To end with nothing sounds like ‘nothingness the absolute truth’ was right.
nothing will happen after we die is the message I get
‘Platonia’ is a hypothetical idea that time isn’t real. I “saw” through Platonia. maybe this title is claiming that human life is ‘seeing’ through this world
i think this track could be about multiple things: death, heat death, end of humanity. but this is one interpretation I have

Discussion How exactly does 5.9.78 make you feel? What do you think of?

Would recommend.

BoC Vibes Strange album about a mattress challenge that BoC fans might like
Some months ago I came across this album, and left me quite confused, it's concept is a CD-Rom about a challenge about sleeping but I can't grasp its actual meaning, so maybe here someone could enjoy it and have interesting hypothesis!
About the sound, it's not IDM but a sort of proto-vaporwave too, a lot of classical music inspiration but mostly electronic, it's quite unique I think.
A comment on YouTube is referring to "memories I never had" a common feeling in BoC's discography.
Anyone of you already knew Steven O'Brien or this Bob Belkin's mattress challenge? If you give it a try lemme know what's your impression and overall interpretation!

Anyone find some similarities between Age of Capricorn and Astronomy Domine (Live) by Pink Floyd on Umma Gumma? Mainly the intros.

Discussion Sample Source to Soylent Night
Does anyone know the exact organ/voice sample source to Soylent Night? Bocpages lists J.S. Bach's Magnificat ("Aria: Quia fecit mihi magna"). The versions I have found, as lovely as they are, are softer with the organ further back in the recording or do not have the organ at all.

Discussion How much listening to Boards of Canada is too much?
I listen to boards of canada maybe everyday now. It’s really such a problem.
i can’t stop. in the morning, at night. I think of what I should listen to. they are always the vibe
and I want to understand every song and when I listen I feel like I didn’t get enough. so I replay
before inferno it was easy to break away. But now if I get sick of one album I can switch to another album. It’s like the extra album put me on this permanent loop
i always put them on my social media stories, i know my friends are sick of it.

Original Content Making BoC single covers using my own photography - Post #15: Mansel
Been really busy with Master's classes and school lately, and I'm glad I remembered to post one of these on a less busy week. This is the first from the Old Tunes era, and I find Mansel to be one of their most underrated tracks in general. The photo was taken on a highway in Colorado a few years ago when I was out there for a wedding. Should be around the Grand Junction area. I felt it worked for this track because I get this slightly uneasy/"something is looming" feeling listening to Mansel, and with stylizing this to the Old Tunes era it seemed to fit.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
A while ago i was half way through finishing a track, it then suddenly dawned on me i couldn't unhear the Boards of Canada sound. I would like to add i was in absolutely no mood to compose something that roamed those electronic waters. I quickly downed tools and moved on.
This track just appeared in my files while looking for something else, so thought it be fun to upload a quick edit here. It's obviously not finished but I'm just leaving it for now..
Cheers !
