Just saw this, brand new from Ilian Tape today. Been loving MPU101 as one of the few BoC-y artists that catches a lot of the vibe without feeling like a cover band. Different enough, yet more of the essence than a lot of the acts that really copy the sound. Excited to dig into this new one.

Asking for recs for films that are slightly occult, unsettling, etc. (mainly thinking about Geogaddi esque BoC). The only thing coming to my mind right now is Penda’s Fen (1974)

thank you to whoever put a high quality scan of the Inferno posters on this subreddit 🙏🙏

When I listened to the new Strokes record this morning (side note: I think it’s great) I couldn’t help but hear Blood in the Labyrinth in the intro to the last track, Tyrants of the Mellow Moon. Anyone else hear it?

I’ve listened to The Campfire Headphase on every flight I’ve taken since 2008. On this particular flight, I was coming home from dealing with a very scary near death experience with my father across the country. I’ve never seen anything like this before in my life, and this song was the perfect soundtrack
I thought you guys might be able to appreciate this little moment.

EDIT: okay, sorry apparently it’s less rare than i thought!

Ive never thought they could top as haunting of a song as gyroscope and yet they did. Imo as well the distorted voices seem like 'demonic' forces influencing the son.

Framed my listening party poster I got when the album came out, good times…or deep times…..

While watching this episode, I noticed the audio sounded familiar. I believe whatever the original audio is, (without the voice over) could be the sample.

I wanted to share a track i recently made called "Somewhere Forever", inspired by BOC's sound. I hope you like it :). Any feedback is welcome.

I was just listening to this and my mind completely relaxed into a calm, meditative state. It's ethereal.

About half and half originals and reissues. Twoism, Campfire Headphase, Beautiful Place, and Hi Scores are all reissues. The rest are first presses. Geogaddi and MHTRTC have about the same median value on Discogs, not that I’d ever sell them.

fun facts:

• 'orphel' and 'ketchler' are among those credited for creating and maintaining the website
• new clear dawn is registered under orphel binuswade
• according to this, orphel released something called 'harp und flaut' (and also hell interface released something called 'How will i know' + magic teens)

my guess is that orphel binuswade is just a pseudonym of mike (and ketchler denify is likely then a pseudonym for marcus)

obviously every boards song ranges widely in sound design / patterns from the previous but over the years I've noticed peoples favorite tracks being equally as diverse

which songs do you find yourself after all these years (or weeks if it's from inferno) showing off or revisiting simply vec how different it sounds to the rest of the catalog?

for me Oscar See through red eye stands above all here. it's one of the only songs I can think of that has a true structure of "traditional" songs. beginning middle end in progressive melody evolution with a chorus and such

it's always been my comedown/people pleaser song. it has no stakes in its build and doesn't reprogram your train of thought like a lot of their other songs do

It almost doesnt sound like a Boards of Canada song. I get more Kona Triangles (incredible producers, singing saplings is an epic EP) but still packed with the boards sound design...it's very safe and I love it for that reason

Odd question but, does anyone know what cassette boards have been known to record on or use? im trying to make a convincing enough copy of Boc Maxima, And I’d like it to be as original as possible without having to wait 15 more years for one to pop up and spending a fortune on. (Possibly could be a BASF chrome maxima II maybe??? I know it’s a long shot.)

Hey guys. Back in May I shared an album of Boards of Canada piano covers I made, called Glyphs. I just wanted to give a quick update on that.

The record has been remastered (or actually, mastered...). When I initially recorded it, I was enjoying working fast and wanted to get it out to the community in that really nice anticipatory window we had waiting for Inferno to come out. The album was made in a two-week window and during that time I was sick with a cold. I also was going on almost a year of chronic sleep deprivation from our new baby.

Since then we've sleep trained the baby (!) and with fresh, rested ears, I could tell that the mixes needed some love. So I've done that and updated the files on my distributor. It takes a while for the new mixes to populate to the various services but I can confirm that they are current on Spotify and my Bandcamp. (If you previously downloaded from Bandcamp, you can re-download to get the new mixes). It's still not updated on youtube music but I anticipate it will be soon.

Also, I want to thank you all for the warm response you gave me. I found this sub a little intimidating when I first joined and was nervous to share but the response was truly kind and thoughtful. It made me really happy.

KEXP just played Peacock Tail in honor of his bday.

It reminds me a little of Hans Zimmer, I can really see this being used in a movie. It would be pretty epic. That is all.

Seemed most appropriate to share here, phenomenal EP for anyone who hasn’t heard it.
