Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest (2013)

Damn, it's good.

yeah! i pre-ordered already (from boomkat, so i'm not getting all these cool things that bleep.com is apparently sending out) and can't wait to hear the rest.

reach for the dead has a major Tangerine Dream vibe going on

"They've slowly transformed into this cryptic, somber, hauntologic act when there used to be a very playful and naive quality to their sound."

I guess you've never heard Geogaddi!?!?

Sure, there's a dark undercurrent at work, there always was. But overall, this track is warm and beautiful in a way that few are capable of...

Quietus track-by-track http://thequietus.com/articles/12364-boards-of-canada-tomorrows-harvest-review
sounds from the description like the album i was hoping they'd make.

All I wrote for this one was: "Drone. Heavy. Aeroplane over my house." And I'm afraid I can't really remember what it sounded like

Worth publishing.

This is like a souped-up 'Telephasic Workshop'

quit building my hopes up again

haha what

Someone just tipped me to that site this morning. It's pretty uniformly funny.

starts off like a late baroque pole track, mutates into watery emeralds-isms in the 2nd (inferior) half

quite like the drones at the very end

this is good

it does seem slightly generic but it's still 100x better executed than something like emeralds

( ^ this is just them laughing at their fans I hope)

"i'm not getting all these cool things that bleep.com is apparently sending out"

have i missed a reason to pre-order from warp rather than just nipping to the record shop?

no, it's just an mp3 of "Reach for the Dead" afaik

User hellinterface has posted this comment on YouTube under the official video - (Hell Interface was one of their early band names, apparently?) and this is being interpreted as another official hint at something or other. Maybe another new clue to be posted at that time, maybe a video projection somewhere, maybe official downloads at bleep.com, nobody knows at the moment.

"May 27th - 17:00 PDT"

meanwhile...

Yermo!

I have nothing to do tomorrow and driving out to Yermo isn't a big deal for me (I know exactly where this is), but am I going to be One Of Those Idiots Who Fall for this sort of marketing?

DO IT

Weirdly enough, my blog post about the abandoned water park that's there (you can see the lake in the satellite photo) is the most popular post on my blog. Think I should do this...

I think you should :-)

It'll probably be either
- another public projection of the reach for the dead video (not very likely imo)
- a new track or video (most likely this one http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10663 )
- a listening party for the whole album (also possible, wouldn't be the first time they have one)
- meet and greet with the bros, let them sign your ass cheek etc (unlikely)

That's pretty good. Seems like a lot of people got bored after about two minutes though

That was played just after a set, they didn't know what it was I guess

Right after Audion (Matthew Dear) finished his set, apparently.

Nice. I like "Reach for the Dead" ok, but that one from Detroit is excellent.

I love the whole " Area 51" feel of this campaign

Another friend of mine is out there -- private feed so I won't link, but I'm awaiting reports...

Jesus christ, how many fucking 'event' albums are we going to have this year!?

did Elvis make it?

According to other forums it's a listening party for the full album, and they're being asked to only record the first 3 tracks

live stream http://www.ustream.tv/channel/tonx23

Happening level: it's

yep, sounded pretty good

first 3 tracks for those who missed it http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/33418663

Yes I did!

Do you feel like One Of Those Idiots Who Fall for this sort of marketing or was it worth it?

To some degree, but it's not like I had anything else going on today... In total there were just under 100 people there. The new album was played (great dramatic weather and wind for it), people listened and then left.

New album sounds good. Heavy. There's never a point where it *doesn't* sound like them, but the comparisons to Alan Howarth's soundtrack work is OTM. It's long, occasionally meandering in the middle, but the slow burn droning at the end is tremendous. At one point I thought to myself, "this sounds like Bruford drumming along to Tangerine Dream's soundtrack to THIEF"
