Type that in as the password.

still awaiting the explation of the code though, but that gets you what we wanted to know

(keep watching at least 4 minutes)

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

try it. type in all those numbers in one row. You'll get a video with release date & album title.

StanM wins!

seems like they've gone x-files

bit of a regression from wicker man steez but at least its not blissed out earth hippy guff i guess

ah, yes.

"Due to the current high level of demand we are staggering preorders."

yeah, and whose fault is that?!

xxpost: only found it somewhere else, haven't heard the explanation of why it's that number yet.

some of those track titles are p lol on the nose, as silby might put it

Ahh so we don't know where this 813386 suddenly came from?

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.

re: people under 30 liking BoC - if the live in a male-dominated house and smoke too much weed, then yeah, they like them.

How do you get to see these fields in your browser?

Why I'll be damned. If you input http://cosecha-transmisiones.com here you can see the nuevas-semillas field for yourself:

So, new thread?

Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest (2013)

i'll see you all on this thread in 2019 as we try to solve the next BoC album mystery

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."

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.

The preorder page says they'll transfer the mp3s to your bleep account on the release date.

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.

Didn't they release the ae mp3s after the album leaked? I thought it might have been something like that.

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?

So what's the deal with the BoC bros producing those Sexual Obects singles? Dude was in th Fire Engines?

ok i got it and listened to it 2 times already and nothing grand here.

If you mean the new album, listen to it 20 more times is my advice. I was unimpressed at first. Now I'm impressed.

listen to it 20 more times is my advice

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.

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).

Damn right.

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?

http://boardsofcanada.com/vinyl-reissues/#geogaddi

I bet those people that have just paid hundreds of pounds for the original records are going to be pissed off.

That's good news.

Were the original albums on 140g vinyl?

Geogaddi sounds like a different album on vinyl. Good god! Sounds I hadn't noticed before and the warmth and bass is next level.

Yeah! I just dloaded Random 35 Tracks Tape/ripped it to my phone today (thanks to epicharmus) and it's amazing stuff, obv around 2004 they were working w electric guitar but I never expected anything as psych/whatever as this
