If it is the actualy album art.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 21:46 (eighteen years ago) link

if it is the cover i'd like it more if Geogaddi's had been a variation on the same theme too.

Whenever I read that song title, I imagine it being said by, like, Holger Czukay or somebody.

WHERE IS THE FOOKIN LISTENING PARTY?

Those look nothing alike. The top image is clearly 300 X 267 pixels while the new one is 454 X 510 pixels!! That's 151440 more innit?

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 22:51 (eighteen years ago) link

True. The new album will be released on a cd that is 7" in diameter - requiring a package that is over 50% larger.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:10 (eighteen years ago) link

One of the tracks leaked. Not sure which though. Buit its here:

hari where did you get that?

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:14 (eighteen years ago) link

It's a secret.

This sort of sounds like a fake... then again I remember that whole deal with the "fake" Autechre album that leaked, which actually ended up being the real thing...

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:22 (eighteen years ago) link

I heard the entire album leaked, they I don't have anything concrete to substantiate that.

― Smetric, Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:23 (eighteen years ago) link

I will go out on a limb and say it's not fake. The drum loop is underprogrammed, but the synth textures are pretty fully realized.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:23 (eighteen years ago) link

Sounds like them. Even if it is a fake - it's quite good!

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:25 (eighteen years ago) link

if it's not them, it's a good imitation.

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:25 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't have anymore songs though :(

This does sound like the real thing. But the way it cuts out at the end makes me think it might be a demo or something.

― Googley Asearch (Toaster), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:25 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh, and the Chemicals comparison (I'd see these next to each other at the various record stores at the time of their release)

not identical obviously (and not some kind of "rip-off") but just walking by them in the store could lead one to think they were the same.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:25 (eighteen years ago) link

The drums on that leaked track are v Mr Scruff/Viberty. I keep thinking back to Gareth's complain about BOC's drums. Sometimes I loved the beats but other times he had a point.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:29 (eighteen years ago) link

According to one of the main BoC fansites, this is the cover art: [image removed! it was goatse! not spencer's fault! - mod]

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:31 (eighteen years ago) link

That also appears on Pitchfork.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:32 (eighteen years ago) link

Goatse, we meet again....

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Has anyone heard the background music on the music70 website? I honestly don't know if it's something from MHTRTC or not.

― Leeeeeeee (Leee), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:42 (eighteen years ago) link

the drums sound thin on that track.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:44 (eighteen years ago) link

(thanks MODS!)

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:49 (eighteen years ago) link

Let's see if Pitchfork does it to us too!

Also, non-goatse website: http://www.boardsofcanada.com/ seems to have samples from the um, what is it, Telefire Campspace Octogon Moon?

(thanks Mark! for modding)

http://www.boardsofcanada.com/ people! Trippy, duuuude!

Oh wait old stuff.

― Leeeeeeee (Leee), Thursday, 11 August 2005 00:03 (eighteen years ago) link

no problem spencer!

boc's official site hasn't been updated in three years. but man, how ridiculously talented is james tindall.

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 11 August 2005 00:05 (eighteen years ago) link

Does anyone know where to get that "Trails" track from the site?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 11 August 2005 00:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm not so big on that leaked track. It seems to run out of ideas after the first two minutes and just plods along for the final three.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 11 August 2005 00:07 (eighteen years ago) link

i wouldnt be at all surprised if it turned out to be a Luke Vibert track

― zappi (joni), Thursday, 11 August 2005 00:09 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah it sounds like him "remixing" BoC.
my tinny computer speakers are not good for assessing drum tracks.

Needs kerning.

the yellow in the new one's cover art is fucking piss ugly and ruins an otherwise decent cover

BOC 'N' ROLL

― amon (eman), Thursday, 11 August 2005 02:41 (eighteen years ago) link

I think the faded yellow is kind of fitting.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 11 August 2005 03:05 (eighteen years ago) link

they're "taking the piss" and putting it on their cover? you're right, it does fit.

― amon (eman), Thursday, 11 August 2005 03:09 (eighteen years ago) link

ha ha!

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 11 August 2005 03:21 (eighteen years ago) link

i went to a boards of canada listening party at a gay party with free vodka... weird mix of people, but i got too drunk to pay attention to the music, though it sounded a lot like boards of canada.....
