Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest (2013)

Wtf! That's not even a real single.

3.00 / 5 (2 ratings)

I was just wondering how much someone would be willing to pay for that but I'm pretty sure it's not $5000

wow, damn. gotta say this is probably the best album of the year.

hard to believe they've not called a track "Gemini" until now.

i miss when these guys used to make *true techno music*

xxpost - omg, you're SO interesting, please tell us more about how we're all wrong about liking this band.

I'll reserve judgement about any of this til I hear the record. Which is a boring thing to say, I know.

lol al

Can I put this record on eBay for $3,000 already?

finally, the acoustic singer-songwriter album they'd always promised us is here!

Excellent news!

the gangster yankee hotel foxtrot

Haha, that was in response to the thread title

whats everyones favorite track so far

i like the dead seeds one, it;s such a mysterious metaphor

is that supposed to be a nuclear blast on the cover

could be, could just be "sundown"

*makes u think*

sunset on humanity

He's put that copy of the Record Store Day 12" up on ebay now

L@@K

getting a Chernobyl/Lem vibe from those song titles
the cover image seems to fit well with the name of this website registered to "Hexagon Sun, Edinburgh" http://newcleardawn.com/ maybe an earlier name for the album?

Cover looks some apocalyptic extinction event that was imagined in the 70's but is going to happen now.

sincerely hope this album is composed solely of tracks that sound like "zoetrope"

sincerely hope this album was recorded entirely in a white volvo station wagon

can we quit putzing around ffs and finally address the cover font being used here

it's not particularly interesting tbf

I'll buy this I guess

works great as vague nuclear bomb

I was just wondering how much someone would be willing to pay for that but I'm pretty sure it's not $5000

*eats a bird*

but maybe some of these fools are like "if i can just score this copy on ebay for under $4500 or so, i can make a big profit by selling it on discogs. there's a copy of it going on there for $5000!!"

there are only six copies of this thing in existence, right? which makes it an ultra-limited edition. if you look at the art world, for example, people pay four-figure sums for limited run editions all the time. don't see how this is any different really.

do they? I figured it would only be worth upwords of $1000 because it's just a 20 second record and it's not like having a rare BoC thing is as cool as say an ultra-rare Elvis thing. but BoC fans are quite insane and apparently have lots of spare cash.

how come no one's paying four figures for my limited edition CDR of songs i recorded in late high school up to my junior year in college? that was my classic era shit right there

I meant visual arts, stuff like Banksy for example (of whom there are prints going for c. £6000 on ebay at the moment)

xp

yeah I'm not really sure what you'd compare this to...maybe that GY!BE debut tape? what if the album is awful?

man i dunno. lots of common elements, but nothing i can think of puts them together this way.

Apparently Avalanche in Edinburgh got one of the 12''s in the post today!

It's Avant Garde Bold. The apostrophe doesnt fit the typeface, though. Dont know where it comes from.

ding ding ding. the 'R' is a little different, too, but everything else is otm.

i think it would be awesome if this album had nothing to do with nostalgia and came with, like, a futurist manifesto in the liner notes.

the futurist manifesto is pretty retro tbh

posts that read like a doseone line

it's up to $4,600 now, with 5.5 days to go.

Am genuinely excited by the thought of a new Boards album but have to confess the *stuff* that has happened over the last few days has left me cold.

Agreed, very psyched for a new record but I don't have the energy or interest for all the games and especially hate the absurd secondary market that this kind of thing knowingly generates.

ok I'm giving it another spin, forgot how devastating "Jacquard Causeway" is. that off-center beat I think really adds to the atmosphere too, very much gives this feeling of impeding doom

It’s a fantastic, dread album - I hope they decide to make more music but if not, a compelling closer.

I'd forgotten how much of this sounds like remixes TV news themes

New Seeds is one of their most gorgeous tracks - not quite Dayvan Cowboy, but getting there.

It’s their most consistently John Carpenter-y album

mood wise
