Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest (2013)

Best viral marketing since Blair Witch Project 2

lol --> http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?release_id=4516654&ev=rb

would be better to spend that sorta coin on drugs

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 way better than Campfire but I still maintain that nothing touches the 90s stuff. sometimes I wonder if people even hear/get what's special about the 90s stuff anymore.

People who enjoy the older albums, like Music has the Right / Geogaddi / In a Beautiful Place / Twoism, Boc Maxima et al- do you question their experiences or appreciation of those albums?

Tomorrow's Harvest is very 'unlike' Campfire, I wouldn't say either is better than the other..

tomorrow's harvest is too dark for me to cope with

TH is too boring for me to cope but then again I love Campfire so

The only time I have listened to this all the way through in one go is when it was just released and Limmy improvised a story over it on YouTube.

https://youtu.be/b73ozBQXHFo

TH has some lovely tracks. It's a bit spotty midway through, where it feels kind of like an ambient collage, but it begins promisingly, and finishes strongly. Split Your Infinities, Nothing is Real, New Seeds, Come to Dust, and Reach for the Dead are mostly good to great tracks, and there are nice little moments throughout the entire thing. Sick Times could've been longer (?), and Cold Earth ain't bad!? it took a me while to warm up to Jacquard Causeway. On the whole, it's an 'easy' listen, and it makes for a nice ambient album. It seems to lack the presence or momentum of other Boards albums.

I really loved the cryptic release shenanigans at the time, found it genuinely exciting. For that reason the alum still has a slight glow of magic even if the material is a little uninvolving at times. "Telepath" reliably creeps me out, but then I love Geogaddi so it's unsurprising.

i usually have no truck with "concept albums" but this LP really works for me a single piece with a narrative arc, with an end of civilisation > desolation > rebirth theme - i find it super emotionally powerful on this basis and for this reason need to be in a very particular mood to listen to it - it's subject matter that i don't always feel like confronting

no other record has the effect that this one has on me
