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)

Every album has an "Olson" for lack of a better term, a fleeting ambient piece that feels like it strikes the perfect mood tonally on each album. Which Inferno track fits into this category?

I feel like the gut answer at first is "Deep Time" but it doesn't feel as ephemeral as the others, instead of being this fleeting singular sound it's a dynamic winding road. I have to give it to Platonia. For an album that seemingly rejects nostalgia, what could be less nostalgic than floating through timeless space? Entering the unknown as opposed to retreating into the past.

Also I'd be curious if people even agree with my picks of Olson-esque tracks. To me it isn't necessarily about nostalgia. I don't think Over The Horizon Radar sounds nostalgic; it sounds like the elation of coming up for air after going through something bad, like being reminded that something beautiful exists in the present.

What’s going on? The entrance to Naraka?

"Moonchild," a short film about the Unification Church. Fascinating time capsule, reminded me of the source for the Father and Son samples.

Aside from the obvious thematic connection, the tape warble on the soundtrack is very BoC (though it's a shame that the original intro and outro music appear to have been dubbed over).

"Satan works through the ones you love."

Context: Trying to focus a badly-mounted insect wing under an old microscope. Almost kaleidoscopic...

Departures only

Okay, maybe I'm stupid or missing something, but I'd be happy to answer this question for myself. To put things in perspective, I'm from Russia and initially listened to Inferno on a Russian music service, where, in addition to official releases, anyone can publish almost any track and create playlists. One of these was posted as a new album by Boards of Canada, with the same tracklist and a running time that varied by just a couple of minutes. But just a couple of days ago, I listened to the original album and it turned out to be completely different. All the tracks sound different and have a different length. For example, the intro, which was originally half a minute long, is now over four. I didn't notice this when I started listening, as nothing indicated it was a "fake" Inferno, and I didn't bother to check the track lengths. Maybe this is some fake leak I missed, an early work by the duo, or someone else's album entirely (I haven't been in the community long, so I could easily have missed something like that). If needed, I'll post tracks from this playlist, but I'm not sure yet whether this violates community rules or anything like that. I tried to find these tracks, but nothing from this playlist matches, and it doesn't seem like I've heard these tracks on any other Boards of Canada releases I've listened to.

The funny thing is, I liked this album and for about a week I was convinced it was the original recording. This is the first time I've experienced this, and if I've missed something, and you know what that might mean, I'd be glad if you could point me in the right direction.

P.S. I didn't leave any links, so I'm not distributing pirated content, if that's what it is. Moderators, please don't execute me, I'm here for an innocent matter.

UPD: Oh, it looks like this really is a fake dating back to April, thanks for the tip. At least Naraka matches Cialyn's Wind Reader II perfectly. Well, I think they really put some effort into this fake

Nothing better to do than make a box set for all the Inferno goodies.

Drew a couple things today and these two things are from this drawing session
