no, i think it's just the 6 digits for the 5th number, based on the hexagon clue

I really hope opening the CD case will be easier than this.

Oh there will probably be a wiki article explaining how to do it.

We couldn't have figured it out. Someone on WATMM says (about that cosecha-transmisiones.com site I think?)
"found this in the header of the index.php : aHR0cDovL2Qyejczdmg3Y3I3OXJ5LmNsb3VkZnJvbnQubmV0L2Nvc2VjaGEubXAz"
That is (paste that long code into the Base64 field and click Decode) http://home.paulschou.net/tools/xlate/ -> " http://d2z73vh7cr79ry.cloudfront.net/cosecha.mp3 "
Which is another one of those mp3s, this one says 813386.

I almost thought they'd go "since you're all to dumb to figure out our code, we won't be releasing anything until 2019. Goodbye."
― StanM, Monday, 29 April 2013 18:18 (eleven years ago) link
curious as to whether they'll do the month-in-advance digital download thing for pre-orders like they did for autechre. which would mean it's only a couple of weeks.
― koogs, Monday, 29 April 2013 19:52 (eleven years ago) link
The preorder page says they'll transfer the mp3s to your bleep account on the release date.
― StanM, Monday, 29 April 2013 19:59 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, but they didn't say they were releasing the autechre early until they did...
no other format options though, i notice. or maybe they just use 'mp3' as shorthand.
― koogs, Monday, 29 April 2013 20:05 (eleven years ago) link
Didn't they release the ae mp3s after the album leaked? I thought it might have been something like that.
― StanM, Monday, 29 April 2013 20:23 (eleven years ago) link
I think it's become a tradition with AE to do preorders and then suddenly release the digital files to those people a month early, pretty sure they've been doing that for a while now. Exai hadn't leaked beforehand, because all the promos were aggressively watermarked and people seemed exhausted by the months of fake leaks before the last couple albums.
I wouldn't guarantee that the BoC will be released early, though you never know. In the case of AE I think Warp just likes the unreal desperation and wants to play along with what people expect.

So there are still four copies of the 12" out there waiting to be found, right? Or were the NYC and London copies the only ones in the end?

ok i got it and listened to it 2 times already and nothing grand here.
― xzanfar, Sunday, 23 June 2013 02:18 (ten years ago) link
If you mean the new album, listen to it 20 more times is my advice. I was unimpressed at first. Now I'm impressed.
― MatthewK, Sunday, 23 June 2013 04:33 (ten years ago) link

Laugh-Out-Loud. If it takes 20 or more times to get into an album, then it's probably best to move on to something else.
― van smack, Sunday, 23 June 2013 20:48 (ten years ago) link
It doesn't. After 20 you might still hear new details you didn't notice before though, there's a lot of that.

Wrong on so many levels. I've had albums that have taken me years to fully appreciate (predominantly jazz records admittedly).

I'd rather have a record I'm still getting to know and getting stuff from after 20 listens than one I'm done with after 20 listens.
Difficult to listen to any of the tracks out of context. Have to listen to this as one long piece or at least broken out into chunks.

Who wants some Boards of Canada vinyl?

I bet those people that have just paid hundreds of pounds for the original records are going to be pissed off.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 15 August 2013 15:05 (ten years ago) link
That's good news.
Were the original albums on 140g vinyl?
― van smack, Thursday, 15 August 2013 15:13 (ten years ago) link
Geogaddi sounds like a different album on vinyl. Good god! Sounds I hadn't noticed before and the warmth and bass is next level.

"Skam Records are very proud to announce the re-release of theBoards of Canada - Hi Scores EP on the 13th October 2014.
The new edition has been re-recorded and re-mastered from the original DAT tapes and has been re-cut onto heavyweight collector’s edition vinyl. The CD will be placed in a Digi-Pak sleeve with some extra art & the vinyl will have a double-sided 12” poster.
The original image on the back of the sleeve will now be in colour. There will be a spot varnish finish on the images & text alongside the usual Skam Braille sticker to give the whole package new depth and a refreshing look and feel."
