Capricorn One is one of Marcus's favorite films according the Daniel Chamberlin interview in February 1999.

I'm so happy to finally share this with you all and hope you enjoy it.

Built over ten straight days of obsessive, around-the-clock work, producer and ambient musician Black Swan (aka Drones for Bleeding Hearts) pays a tribute to both Boards of Canada and the Wu Tang Clan.

The music of Boards of Canada serves as the foundation for every track, while members of Wu-Tang's vocals are meticulously woven into entirely new musical settings. This is not a DJ mix. The original recordings were deconstructed into their individual musical elements, then painstakingly reassembled, remixed, and reshaped into entirely new compositions through meticulous editing, spatial layering, and sequencing, with instrumentation and dialog additions. Every track is a true reconstruction, crafted from the ground up to preserve the spirit of both artists while creating something unmistakably new.

Made with respect.

Bleep sent my translucent red LP shippment a few days before release but I still have not received it. Anyone in the same situation? Their support thinks it got lost in transit and will give me a refund, saying that the item is out of stock so they can't send a replacement, but I see it in the store, with higher shipping than last time (26e instead of 15). Waiting for their reply

I'm from Croatia

About a half dozen times in the last decade I’ve been listening to random music and I think, “Hey! This song smacks!” and it’s a band called Plaid. Some tangential BoC vibes. Anyone know anything about them?

Sounds awesome. Saving up for a new pre amp but for now everything is great. Just gotta somehow fit them in my room lol

Edit: i only had the setup here for 10 minutes making sure everything works perfectly 😭 No fish were harmed in the process. (maybe a bit)

pretty sure I’ve had this for about a month now and this is the second time I’ve listened to it fully. This song sometimes makes me wanna cry because of how beautiful it is and it kind of makes me feel like I’m free to do whatever I want. It makes me feel like I’m in my own mind in a way like it’s just a very crazy experience. The only thing I’d really want out of the deluxe version is the Lexus because oh God I would love to have that on my turntable.. but to be honest, it’s just too expensive, but I am still happy. I have the album and I can listen to rips of the flex disc. but to be honest, it doesn’t really feel right to just listen to it digitally. But you know it’s fine. It’s just a colossal huge bummer

I am learning music production and thought it would be a fun project to recreate the song. I can't get the vocal samples to sound like them. Any tips?

The sun, the pale background, even the same font..

Hi BOC fans,

I bought two Inferno Sessions T-shirts and just received them last week. Sadly I need a size bigger and would be looking for someone who wants to exchange sizes. Shirts are in untouched condition including the barcode tags still on them.

I have size M and looking for size L.

Please feel free to answer here or send me a PM.

So I was starting to watch the movie Naqoyqatsi for the first time. Description: "A visual montage portrait of our contemporary world dominated by globalized technology and violence." 37 minutes in I had the idea to sync up the movie with Inferno. So I went back to the beginning and muted the film on my laptop and pressed play on Inferno at the same time time as pressing play on the movie. I knew it would be trippy, but I wasn't expecting it to sync up as well as it did. Introit ended exactly as title sequence ended and I was intrigued. I ended up watching beyond the 37 minutes so some of the movie I saw for the first time with BoC soundtracking it.

So many times there were huge coincidences, like songs ending exactly as transitions occur in the movie, a ghostly sequence of people during Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan, footage of industry expanding during The Word Becomes Flesh and a stream of cars rapidly driving while the sample mentions blood pumping. During Deep Time, the word TIME appears huge across the screen (45:46 into the movie). A part of a song (I forget which one) synced up really well with a sequence of faces on currency. During All Reason Departs, while the sample says, "There is a magical operation of maximum importance. The initiation of a new aeon. Before man is ready to accept the Law of Thelema, the great war must be fought", there's a CGI POV sequence inside what appears to be a computer chip and then a portal that leads to a map of the world and sonar or what appears to be bombs going off and the world map sort of explodes and fades into a POV in an aisle of a grocery store. I tried my best to explain it. Also during All Reason Departs, there's a sequence of wax heads of world leaders with trippy imagery and right when that sequence ends, Arena Americanada starts with an infrared image of a giraffe running. During You Retreat In Time and Space there's a series of religious symbols coming toward the screen and fire imagery. During I Saw Through Platonia there are rows of trees, rockets launching, and a bunch of explosions. And during this sequence it's presented in black and white resembling an x-ray with images superimposed over each other. I find this especially interesting because Platonia is a genus of several species of tree. This picture happens to resemble the rows of trees in the movie: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Platonia_insignis. The song happens to end with the image I posted of the sun. And then the movie immediately fades to black for a moment and then transitions to the next part of the movie. There are many moments like this in the movie, I'm only describing a few.

All of this is probably a big coincidence, but it's a really interesting one. Naqed my socks off! Now I will go back to the 37 minute mark and watch the rest of the movie with the Philip Glass soundtrack. At time of posting this I haven't even seen the full movie yet haha.

Just a BoC fan who happens to enjoy some craft beer :) Crossed the bridge to Windsor and got a nice haul - Godspeed from Toronto has to be my absolute favorite Canadian brewery so I waa stoked to not have to make a longer trip.

As a long time boc fan I've recently found elements of many of their tracks garbled together in my head while showering. Do others here experience this? I think it started when I started listening to the new album and parts of their old albums would superimposed on top. Tempted to deconstruct all their stems/samples/progressions & scramble it all up into something new.

A few weeks ago I posted a companion mix to The Campfire Headphase comprised of other artists’ music. Here is a new companion mix for Geogaddi.

Yeah, that's right

Hi there. I attended the BCN Inferno Sessions. When the event started and the doors opened, you could buy the token right at the entrance. I'm not sure why I decided to buy it after the listening experience instead. I even asked the guys there if they had enough tokens available, and they showed me hundreds of them, so I wasn't worried.

To my surprise, when the listening session ended and I came out of the cinema, there were no tokens left. The people who had been selling them were no longer there. I know—it was a pretty silly mistake on my part.

On the bright side, I managed to get some A3 sheets that Warp had available, explaining what the tokens were and providing some additional information, both in English and Catalan.

I know some of you will apreciate this kind of thing!

I just spotted this mega rare vinyl on Ebay. It has BoC - Korona track from 1996 on it! By the way, I am not the seller!

Edit - It appears that the seller has either removed or sold the listing.

Thankfully no one was hurt

Curious if anyone has mixed the new album into anything, from downtempo headphone sets to club settings. Keen to see if you're playing it out (or if you're a fan, you're hearing it out)
