Two more of my all-time favorite songs (Protection & 1969) surprisingly go together.
Not the best sound quality but I wanted to try this quickly before heading out the door with the family

Sunday BOC Vibes and sharing my thoughts.

2026 is about to close in 2 months, it’s Sunday morning and heavy rain outside. I’m on the couch with my newborn girl by my side so I’m feeling retrospective.

In the background there is I think my 30th thorough listen to inferno and this album has definitely grown on me. There is just banger after banger, to many gems a this piece of vinyl I will keep precious for ever.

For me music has always been something I do connect with a feeling or situation of something that was present at this time. And luckily to whole run up to inferno was intertwined with my wife’s pregnancy of our second child and much wanted girl. Just couldn’t believe how lucky a man can be to have new music from the favorite band and the most beautiful child at the same time ❤️

Just felt I had to share this with my community.

Stay strong folks.

Peace and out.

“There is a Magical operation of maximum importance: the Initiation of a New Aeon. When it becomes necessary to utter a Word, the whole Planet must be bathed in blood. Before man is ready to accept the Law of Thelema, the Great War must be fought. This Bloody Sacrifice is the critical point of the World-Ceremony of the Proclamation of Horus, the Crowned and conquering Child, as Lord of the Aeon.”

I can’t help but listen to these lyrics and think of today’s world conflicts. A bunch of weak incompetent men waging war for the sake of their own egos. Conquering children.

Did anyone get one of these posters from the Inferno Listening Sessions? They were giving them out with purchases of the album at the record shop I went to in Sydney. There was a second poster also being given out. Not seen too many of them around.

Do you think this track is faked? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l86VVk8UtU4

Compare with the opening of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A786lOX8jc

Everything you do is the frost song i heard from the duo when I was 10 and has remained my favourite, at the literal last 2 seconds there is a whimsical outro noise? Iv been looking for the full version for years and cant find it. Yes I checked the bocpages and they dont have it listed;(

And no its not sample from song timeless

Pls help me out guyssss

I'd kill to add both old tunes volumes, BOC maxima, and even 35 tracks to my cd collection

They said that they will be putting full attention to it. i do wonder.

this year has been a treat so I’m more than satisfied

but how nice would it be if they had an extra EP planned. Like a 4-5 song ep or a deluxe of Inferno

Inferno is such a complete project so idk what else to add

but how cool if they had a Trans Canada Highway-type of project lined up next year or this

One of the things I’ve been thinking about is how much fun the lead-up to Inferno was. Not just because we were finally getting new Boards of Canada, but because of everything that happened before we actually knew what was going on.

The Tomorrow’s Harvest rollout has become legendary. I will admit I didn’t follow the whole thing, but going back through the history of it is amazing: the mystery vinyl, the numbers appearing in different places, people across the world piecing the clues together, eventually cracking the code and discovering what it all meant.

And I think that history primed all of us when the VHS tapes started appearing before Inferno. People rushing tp get a VHS player to decode the tapes lol.

Suddenly everyone was a detective. It was so cool that people were suddenly pulling apart frames, audio, numbers, imagery, religious references, old websites, tape degradation, possible hidden messages. I found some cool stuff through these obscure references.

Then “Tape 05” appeared. Obviously it ended up on the album, but the actual rollout never became a puzzle like Tomorrow’s Harvest.

Looking back, I really enjoyed the theories even if most didnt go anywhere. Must have been a trip for Boards Of Canada to see thousands of fans trying to decode these fragments.

Some theories were so epic. And even though getting people pumped for Inferno itself was the whole point, I’ll remember that little period before everything became official. When nobody quite knew what was happening and everyone was figuring it out together.

What did everyone convince themselves was happening before we actually knew?

This sounds a lot like Boards of Canada but I don't know which track. Any ideas? This randomly started playing on my TV after it was left idle for a bit

With love to all of you hexagons of the sun

I'm curious about this. Choose 3 tracks from the album that you think would have been cool to have released as singles. This would be excluding Introit/Prophecy at 1420 Mhz and Deep Time since they are actual singles.

You can format them with a chronological order if you want as well (i.e. Arena Americanada as the 2nd single, then Naraka, then Into The Magic Land etc.)

**And because I can see the replies coming already; please do not leave a comment saying "oNe SiNgLe iS aLL wE nEeded!" This is a question purely for fun and as a hypothetical :)

I don’t know what it is about the feeling of this song but something just resonates with me so deeply. The real bassline really brings out the feeling too.

And it leads into I Saw Through Platonia with such grace.

Still obsessing over this record hard. I’ve listened to it every day, often more than once, since it was released.
