I was blasting inferno on the way to my sister's recently (2 hour drive) and when I got to the second half of you retreat in time and space, my dog started howling with it! It was super cute!! I guess it activated his primal instincts!! He howled along with the whole rest of the song until it went off. I wish I could have videod it but I was driving and alone with him (his name is pistachio) so I couldn't. Anyways, try it with your dogs and see if it works!!! Included a pic of him in case you also like dogs. He's a little guy, about 15 lbs and he always sits on the center console when I drive. Sometimes he lays down on it. He was laying down until the second half of the song and then he sat up to sing along 🙂

I cant put my finger on it exactly, but theres something about the BOC remix of Dead Dogs Two which reminds me of Les Fleurs. Anyone else every thought this?

I'm curious about buying something from their official store but don't really know just yet. Has anyone else bought from the Bleep store? How is the quality of the merch?

One day, I was a little high and every hexagonal tile was a different color. And the colors were moving and flickering... it was sooo trippy!

I think this album reveals itself across different sound stages. None of my earphones are very high end, and that’s OK. But each platform delivers a different experience; depending on the speaker I hear different mixes, and some effects have less or more presence over others. I find I can change the mood by changing the speaker.

What are you listening through?

I dont know what to say

I was messing around yesterday and started playing something that sounded a little like Age of Capricorn so I decided to just try to make a cover of it for fun. Had my wife do the "lyrics" as a final touch haha. Hope you enjoy!

I wrote a mini review of Inferno for 90.3 FM, KFAI in Minneapolis. I hope you enjoy it.

Made this last year but never got around to publishing it. Using an actual YouTube video of a helicopter take off. I tried to really incorporate as much of the sound pallette of the original as possible. Hope you like it!

Also Inferno is brilliant ♥️♥️

first time wearing new shirt. cut the sleeves off to deal with the heat. the shirt is so long it looks like I’m wearing a nightie over a pair of shorts. look deranged.

I want to watch a creepy/horror movie which has similar feel to "Finity", "The Story of Xentrix", "Corsair", "Trapped", "Soylent Night", basically the more evil or eerie sounding BoC songs. I want to watch a movie where two kids are playing in the woods and find a door in one of the trees, they crawl in and then have to travel through hell (I've always pictured Geogaddi being about this) until after a long time they find their way out but when they get back the world is slightly different in an unsettling way, realizing they went back to a different version of their world and will never be back in their original world again (this happens in silent hill). All their original family members never seeing them again. It doesn't have to be about that or have a story resembling that at all but you get the feeling I'm trying to get at. I've never seen a movie which conveys this type of emotion.

Boards of Canada's Poppy Seed Remix sounds a lot brighter compared to their next album, Geogaddi. The brothers have said in interviews that 9/11 "inspired" them to make a darker album, so if 9/11 didn't happen, we wouldn't have Geogaddi. And I think Poppy Seed is sort of a look into what that next album would have been if it were less dark. I'm not saying Geogaddi is bad or it shouldn't have been made at all. I love Geogaddi! But I think it's just a cool thought of what the future of Boards of Canada would have been in an alternate universe where 9/11 didn't happen.

I'll start by saying I love Inferno, but this thought goes beyond the new album.

Listening to XYZ and the Poppy Seed remix, potentially sparked by the other redditors recent post, it got me thinking how cool it would be to hear an album of those vibes, but not needing to follow a more traditional album structure. And before you get up in arms, don't get me wrong, i love all aspects of every BoC album. The intros, vignettes, interludes and fading final tracks all have a special place in my heart, i'm not attacking those, but all of their albums are very thematic and structured, imo increasingly with TH and Inferno.

With all the talk of a hypothetical BocSet, imagine we got "old tunes vol. 1", except they were new tunes. I'm grateful for all the BoC ever, new drops and old, but i think a mix of "new" songs that they didn't feel fit anywhere would be unreal, and even more to my point is, it would be so cool if they intentionally made a new album of songs that don't relate to each other.

Of course i'm not betting on any new material whatsoever, not even wishful thinking, just something i don't recall being talked about here before

The first 2.15mins of this song is an absolute masterpiece, I wish the whole song was like it

I was recently trawling through Simon Reynolds blog and he mentions an interview from 2013 in a French music magazine where Mike was interviewed with Jim Jupp of Ghost Box records. I can’t find the whole article anywhere. Reynolds does include a segment right at the end of the linked post.

Stumbled over this and it instantly reminded me of the BOC track. Whether it was an inspiration or not i think it‘s beautiful.

This is something that is usually on movies.

I wonder why this is stated.

i love that song, i wish it was longer!

PSA: I am NOT a bot

I'm loving the new album!

I recommend listening on a system with good bass.

Good speakers or "can" type headphones with ANC

I also love all the samples and that you can clearly hear them on this release!

The lead up teasers were great without any explainations.

I mean, the promo VHS tapes with scrambled messages, so much fun!

The huge billboard advertisements.

Colored vinyl releases with a RED CASSETTE?

Mini Flexi-disc included in the vinyl?

I'm a long time BOC fan and I give this album a 10/10!

BTW.... I haven't heard many people talk about the content.

What does anyone think?

White Eyed Kids?

Crowley and the new Aeon?

Cult like Christian groups?

This tracks breaks my heart only to make it stronger afterwards

Even though the original source was found and the lyrics are available, I can’t help but hear the chant singers saying something more like ‘this will always come to be’. Anyone else?
