That track, someone on Reddit claims it sounds more like Tycho than it does BoC (so... Tycho probably sounds a lot like early BoC)
― StanM, Sunday, 2 December 2018 18:36 (five years ago) link
Something about the filter in the drums sounds kind of generic for them, and the vinyl crackle effect also doesn't seem like something they'd do. But maybe that's why it wasn't released under their name. 50p on it being a very well done pastiche.

the stuff it's being compared to - tycho, the twoism mailing list comps - they don't sound as much like boc to me as this does. certainly as many fakes as boc fans have heard i'd be inclined to go under the assumption that anything that sounds like boc isn't. all i can say is that it sounds like boc circa "music has the right to children" and it's a great listen.

ROYGBIV now reminds me as much of the time and place I first heard MHTRTC as it does some indistinct moment in 1976.

I live in California and the fact that the smell of campfire smoke now has a sinister undertone is the most Boards of Canada thing ever. Tomorrow's Harvest indeed.

Ppl are trying to work it out, nothing coming up so far, the one that sounds a bit like 10CC or the first Peter Gabriel solo record?

Found it yeah, Stefan Zauner, Discogs says 1978, it sounds exactly like something from Peter Gabriel II, even the production.

I've always been a stan of these guys but have never been much interested in remixes by anyone, ever. The ones I've caught on spotify are a fucking revolution, esp in observation that the source material I found to be sonic duds. Intentional choices, if I want to give the elusive duo a bit of ego. I don't mind.

"The (1998 Peel session) radio broadcast contained an additional track, "XYZ", which was originally included on the EP, but soon removed due to sample licensing issues, meaning that original copies of the CD containing "XYZ" are extremely rare."
I did not know this. It's going to be re-released with the track reinstated, it just came up on spotify - *chef's kiss*
― The Pingularity (ledge), Monday, 30 September 2019 08:25 (four years ago) link
I don't think XYZ was ever on the commercially released EP, not even for a short time. Discogs says there are like 5 handmade CDRs with the track which were made by the band themselves.
― van dyke parks generator (anagram), Monday, 30 September 2019 09:25 (four years ago) link
I've never heard XYZ without John Peel's introduction for it. Has one of the greatest BoC intros/buildups I've heard this side of Dayvan Cowboy, but the release sadly isn't there for me. Still a solid track and worth hearing again though.

Finally got round to listening to this (in fact I still am) and yes, it's wonderful! Perfect for today - spring outside, so i've got the windows open, and it's perfect for this sort of airy quarantine.

Played Tomorrow's Harvest while driving through Death Valley and the Mojave desert a month ago in February. It's definitely not an upper, but damn it sure does fit the scenery (which was influenced by them, of course - SF's cityline and the Mojave are the visual motifs for the record).

Unless they put out a total outta left field thing like a psych-pop vocal album (would love) I think that with “Tomorrow’s Harvest” they’ve done their duty for our current moment in time.
― SQUIRREL MEAT!! (Capitaine Jay Vee), Saturday, 15 August 2020 19:18 (three years ago) link
that's a rather bleak conception of "their duty". i'm not sure i've ever heard a record that was a more open invitation to mass suicide, and i've heard some of chris korda's records.
