Showing my age here I bought it when it was released first , have this gem also http://www.discogs.com/Boards-Of-Canada-In-A-Beautiful-Place-Out-In-The-Country/release/11777 .

Probably not compared to me, I bought "Blue Monday" on 12" the day it came out.

My vinyl arrived today by post. It's a lovely looking thing, but not quite as nice as the artwork as on their earlier releases. I have given it a good look over for any secret tracks and messages but alas nothing to be found. I'm going wait till the weekend before I play it. Once get the family to bed, I'm going to have a little party for one.

Was on twoism.com today and apparently the album is a palindrome in terms of key, centering around Collapse.

The mystery is far from over.
One of the members of Twoism put this together and I think it really works.

Twoism. com is to blame for turning me into one of those obsessive compulsive fans. I was quite happy to just enjoy BOC music for what it is, untill I started to follow that forum, then everything changed:rolleyes:
I do love their "One on Twoism" compilations.

Technocentral · 14-06-2013 12:17pm

Listening to the vinyl now, v quiet with great mastering, love this album the more I hear it.

SilverScreen · 14-06-2013 12:40pm

My CD arrived yesterday. It sounded amazing on the first listen but I'm sure even more amazing with a few more plays. I agree about the album art, the cover isn't as great as their other albums although I like really the photos in the booklet.

Scubadevils · 15-06-2013 11:26am

I wasn't ever a huuuge fan of BoC, I do enjoy their albums and play from time to time - I've found them good for getting an electronica fix while family are over and that, they'd never be bothered by them as such... unlike putting on Autechre or something! I find this album a lot more interesting, so much more complexity - 'Reach for the Dead' in particular is a really stunning track - I was listening to the album in the garden last weekend during our summer :pac: on headphones and I really was totally taken by this track, it could have gone on for another ten minutes past its runtime.

theUbiq · 19-06-2013 11:14am

I was also not a huge fan of BOC but I'm liking this album... The production and mastering are excellent - sounds great on everything I play it on.

Dj Food must have been thinking the very same before he went a made a 10min extended re-edit for us all to enjoy.

paulelectronica · 20-06-2013 7:56pm

They purposely left the tracks shorter it seems.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2013/jun/06/boards-of-canada-become-more-nihilistic

and last question which has being feeling quite hopeful

"And finally ... will there be live shows taking place around the record? Do Boards Of Canada still exist as a live entity?"

Eoin: "We've been busy in our rehearsal space lately, so never say never."

That is a fantastic remix of it. The last couple fo minutes are just out of this world.

The album as a whole actually has really really grown on me. Since we have had it in our paws for a while now, what are peoples feelings on it?

Fabio · 24-09-2013 2:02pm

A remix of New Seeds here by La Marchand de Sable....fecking class: https://soundcloud.com/wearelmds/boards-of-canada-new-seeds-le

This is now up on Spotify.

and all their old albums have reappeared too. (still no "In a beautiful place" EP though).

Vinculus · 20-02-2016 11:53am

Boc released a new remix of an Odd Nosdam track on Spotify yesterday but only in certain countries, has anybody been able to listen to it?

Vinculus · 22-08-2016 12:52pm

We may get news today about a new ep and perhaps a brand new website or we may get nothing at all.
I've no choice but to be optimistic.

jiltloop · 31-08-2016 11:56am

Was there any such news?!

Vinculus · 02-09-2016 1:46pm

No! They or maybe it was we the fanatics, that led ourselves on another goose chase.

jiltloop · 02-09-2016 2:15pm

Pity! I'll just have to retreat back in to the shadows and return to my patient waiting.....:pac:

Vinculus · 02-09-2016 8:39pm

I don't think you'll have to hide in the shadow for very long. They are definitely working on new and maybe old tunes . One thing that is curious is that recently all their websites have been taken down.

be nice if they officially released some of the old stuff, some of it is really excellent.

Vinculus · 04-09-2016 4:53pm

Completely agree!
To think what I would consider some of their best music is only available in really poor quality mp3's and we're bloody lucky to have them at that.
But I have come to love those poor quality mp3's.

Vinculus · 05-09-2016 4:38pm

A great example loyatemu.
Off the top of my head, this is the one that I always remember first, when I think of their old material. If only they could release a longer version, produced in a similar way to Zoetrope.

jiltloop · 05-09-2016 4:51pm

Where can I find all their old unreleased tracks?

Vinculus · 05-09-2016 5:14pm

I'll pm you a link a little later on. Or try looking in the old and rare tunes section of BOC pages.

Vinculus · 15-10-2016 10:45am

I've played on a few occasions the final moments of Farewell fire at the highest volume, trying to hear as much as possible before the music drifted off into oblivion.
There's no need to that any more.

PhuckHugh · 21-03-2017 3:38pm

Really starting to get into this genre of music ... can people recommend similar artists or point me to the right thread if I've missed it... Thanks.

Tycho is probably the obvious one as his sound is the closest to Boards Of Canadas.

1991 - 'High-Tech High Life' LP

Also check out a record label called 'Ghost Box Records', similar enough sounds
These guys here are one of the artists - Pye Corner Audio

'Gas' is also really good, worth a listen

paulelectronica · 22-03-2017 3:02pm

Another one similar to Boards of Canada

Vinculus · 22-03-2017 5:00pm

Local lad Ciaran Byrne is clearly obsessed with boc.

paulelectronica · 22-03-2017 9:05pm

I mix boc type electronica also , another artist i would recommend would be Ten and Tracer

ciaran byrne's stuff is a great
you'll find more of his stuff on soundcloud
https://soundcloud.com/ciaranbyrneofficial

Vinculus · 07-04-2017 1:43pm

I completely agree, he's music is great.
About a month ago a inde / alternative radio show broadcast from the states, dedicated half of a show to the music of boc and they also played a couple of tracks by artist who are heavily influenced by them and one of the tracks was by Ciaran. The Djs spoke very warmly about his music but the poor guys struggled to pronounce his name.

Vinculus · 08-06-2019 11:07am

Something's happening!

Exciting! Where did you find that vinculus?

Vinculus · 09-06-2019 9:44am

I spotted it on twoism.org yesterday.
It's most likely promotion for Warp 30, which is very exciting, but it curious that they're copying boc's ARG for Tomorrow's Harvest.

Looks like we're in for some news at the end of next week.

https://twitter.com/WarpRecords/status/1138808235580907521

Vinculus · 13-06-2019 5:10pm

"Featuring exclusive mixes, live sessions, videos, unreleased music and curated archive recordings as radio shows with contributions from Boards of Canada, Flying Lotus, Aphex Twin, Brian Eno, Danny Brown, Autechre, Kelela and many more special guests to be announced."

Vinculus · 14-06-2019 11:32am

Really looking forward to see the schedule for the whole event.
I just know it's going to be a long week until then :-))

jiltloop · 14-06-2019 12:10pm

Will this be a live broadcast that is then available to download afterwards? I've a newborn at home so my chances of listening live are minuscule unfortunately!

Vinculus · 14-06-2019 7:37pm

Congratulations on the newborn!
As it's going on for a hundred straight hours, I imagine most, if not all will be available to stream later. Downloading won't be a problem either.

jiltloop · 14-06-2019 8:34pm

Cheers man!

Vinculus · 20-06-2019 4:37pm

We have a schedule and it's a beauty!

No news on the BOC front, sorry if I got your hopes up,

but here's an exceptional little feature on their discography.
Its a nice length and really well done:

Loving the new Nevermen Remix, BoC just released. That Open the Light sample is just delicious

Boards Of Canada have a new album on the way!
