whoops sorry, this was already mentioned upthread

Had one listen to this...made zero impression
― the Shearer of simulated snowsex etc. (Dwight Yorke), Monday, 3 June 2013 09:04 (thirteen years ago)
they really freaked themselves out with geogaddi didn't they? not a single sampled or backmasked vocal since, i don't think :(
― discreet, Monday, 3 June 2013 09:14 (thirteen years ago)
2 hours to go to the stream unless they've cancelled it since they made zero impression on Mr. Yorke

What do you mean about Thom Yorke?
― crowhurst, Monday, 3 June 2013 18:11 (thirteen years ago)
No, Dwight, two posts up from mine :-)

just updated: "17 previews" at http://bleep.com/release/43515-boards-of-canada-tomorrows-harvest but I don't have the play buttons (yet)

xpost: 1843 people are watching the countdown, with 75 minutes to go
― StanM, Monday, 3 June 2013 18:44 (thirteen years ago)
4,000 people watching, 45 minutes to go
Man I hope there's an MC rapping over the whole thing as a surprise :-)
― StanM, Monday, 3 June 2013 19:24 (thirteen years ago)
I love this so much. More than 4,000 people watching nothing, listening to silence. ' Silence is so accurate', John Cage once said. Ain't that the truth. And that cool countdown will, for one second, show "4,33" :-)
Have the stream open, and will just let the music flow into my room in 30 minutes. What an awesome way to premiere an album!
― Random ACRB.PNG Memories (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 3 June 2013 19:35 (thirteen years ago)
I have the stream open but I'm listening to New Order in the interim. Fuck a silence.

Anybody getting anything?
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 3 June 2013 20:00 (thirteen years ago)
4'33 is abt attunement to peripheral ambient noise emanating from the void, the best way to approximate it in this context would be to stare at the comments in real time

SOUND

www.boardsofcanada.com wasn't doing anything for me

Waiting for Pharell and Nile Rodgers to kick in
― Random ACRB.PNG Memories (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 3 June 2013 20:03 (thirteen years ago)
not sure whether i should go and get the rest of the bottle of claret or not
― ghosts of erith spectral crackhouse slain rudeboy (Nilmar Honorato da Silva), Monday, 3 June 2013 20:03 (thirteen years ago)
i suppose since i know this track already it would be an opportune time
― ghosts of erith spectral crackhouse slain rudeboy (Nilmar Honorato da Silva), Monday, 3 June 2013 20:04 (thirteen years ago)
rftd is much better after that phasy drone intro prefiguring it
― ghosts of erith spectral crackhouse slain rudeboy (Nilmar Honorato da Silva), Monday, 3 June 2013 20:05 (thirteen years ago)
nope, zero impression. ZERO
― StanM, Monday, 3 June 2013 20:06 (thirteen years ago)
i'm watching that guy-freaks-out-in-the-rain gif upthread while listening to the Coil track a little further upthread and they go together amazingly!

Watching this (on mute) is working pretty good

also would appreciate someone explaining to me what is going on with that gif, btw.

(from the on screen text all I can see it's from the América vs. Cruz Azul match (Mexico, soccer) and it was live on TV)
― StanM, Monday, 3 June 2013 20:14 (thirteen years ago)
V. nice, this. Also it looks like this has broken Twitter a bit.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 3 June 2013 20:15 (thirteen years ago)
Very strong first couple of tracks.
Also yes, it seems to have broken twitter lol
― Random ACRB.PNG Memories (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 3 June 2013 20:19 (thirteen years ago)
liking this track, possibly because I am stuck in the 90s but never mind
― susuwatari teenage riot (a passing spacecadet), Monday, 3 June 2013 20:22 (thirteen years ago)
or at least put it to sleep
(see what i did there)
― fauxmarc, Monday, 3 June 2013 20:23 (thirteen years ago)
loving this track right now (with that gif)
― Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 3 June 2013 20:23 (thirteen years ago)
What have I done! Y'all are going to remember this album + that gif forever now, aren't you? :-D
― StanM, Monday, 3 June 2013 20:24 (thirteen years ago)
Love how ~deep~ this sounds. Not going for the easier melodies.
Still waiting for Pharell tho
― Random ACRB.PNG Memories (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 3 June 2013 20:25 (thirteen years ago)
this is activating my imaginary northern California roads stretching to infinity like crazy. which is what I go to BoC for, so that's good.
― eris bueller (lukas), Monday, 3 June 2013 20:29 (thirteen years ago)
omg - STAN! what is going on in that gif?!
― Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 3 June 2013 20:30 (thirteen years ago)
It's dark, but not as dark as Geogaddi - it's melancholic, but not as melancholic as Music Has The Right To Children - it's not acoustic at all, like The Campfire Headphase never happened
― StanM, Monday, 3 June 2013 20:31 (thirteen years ago)
that gif? I have no idea, to be honest. He's a soccer manager, I think, but he's either happy or angry at a result/goal/referee's decision?
The Campfire Headphase never happened afaic
― ghosts of erith spectral crackhouse slain rudeboy (Nilmar Honorato da Silva), Monday, 3 June 2013 20:34 (thirteen years ago)
I think it is darker than Geogaddi tbh, less melody based, more emphasis on the dark undercurrent, the mood.
― Random ACRB.PNG Memories (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 3 June 2013 20:34 (thirteen years ago)
had to step away for a phone call and when I came back this album basically turned into the greatest fucking thing
― they are either militarists (ugh) or kangaroos (?) (DJP), Monday, 3 June 2013 20:36 (thirteen years ago)
This is the first track kind of breaking the spell for me. Still ace though.

Otm DJP!
