Went for a quick MTB ride with it on during my lunch break. Might have been the sunshine, but for me it evoked the melancholy-tinged optimism of MHTRC, rather than the dread of Geogaddi. |

Album on pod, joint in clutch, sunbathing calling. I did the same with TCH yesterday it sounded better than I remembered. |

...will be listening in about an hour, after I make dinner. |

this music belongs to a boring netlabel |

was definitely worth the wait, downloaded the version from the stream. up there with geogaddi and mhtrfc - maybe even better, more refined. its such a profound experience listening through this. |

It might be the sun but this is giving me an erection. |

Perhaps you heard a fake because the real thing is not good at all. |

Finally listened to the entire album... There are a couple of nice moments, but I have to admit, I think the BoC magic of yesteryear is gone. In addition to this, there doesnt seem to be any fluidity or consistency between the tracks. Its not terrible, as I enjoyed it more than Campfire (which isnt saying much) but I think I understand now why theyve taken so long to come out with new material. |

I agree. well put. it doesn't seem to take many risks or do anything bold to put itself anything higher than ok. it's a bit boring. not bad, but kinda boring. here's a beat. we'll vary it a bit. here's a droney synth. ocassionally a melody will pop up. meh. the rest are filler synth diddling |

So I set aside some time to sit by a tree for a proper first listen. In short, I love this album and will be listening to it a lot. I think it's a really optimistic record, despite cues to the contrary. Also was interested to notice that my other favorite record this year (Cro Magnox) is a soundtrack for an imaginary world/film. They really seem to take great pains to keep doing things the way they want to. I can't imagine the musical landscape without Boards of Canada doing their thing. Will pick up the vinyl for sure, this record was well worth the wait! Thanks! |

quelle surprise, the fucking bleep website is fucked when i tried to download the album. |

Listened to it another 4 times ir so today. It already feels like an old friend. Twice I had to check the track title to ensure my phone hadn't gone over to some old BoC tracks from a different release, they sounded so familiar. My opinion of the album keeps on increasing and similarly the number of tracks that really stand out as being something special increase. There are tonnes of little subtle details and one-off sounds I am noticing, even streamed over Bluetooth from my phone to a very small portable speaker. I can't wait to get some quality time with it on the vinyl when I collect that tomorrow. |

well the site crashed but somehow still managed to download in the end. i now have a legit copy of the album yay! (it better be good...) |

Listened to it in flac on my monitors and sub today smoking a fat gnarly hash oil joint. It was awesome. I love the 80s feel to it, those arps are delicious. |

Da fuk- it'd be a miracle if you could find an electronicish album that didn't sound deep and spacey on an awesome hash oil joint. Except for noise. I don't wanna be stoned and listen to noise. If you're into 80's vibe, listen to whilst high. Even without the video, that track makes you feel like you're on coke and sports car-ing to the club in a light blue jacket with huge shoulder pads; fucking AC blasting cuz you're sweaty as fuck. |

Hahaha I spose that's true. But is this place only for purely subjective analysis? Da fuk. I actuality liked that video more than the music. Mmmm lasers. |

Hello evolume. What do you think of this release? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hey Ceri! Oooh, moderator now... woah. anyway, I'm listening to it for the first time right now. So far, I find it to be less "chill" or "organic" sounding than MHTRTC or Campfire Headphase and closer to Geogaddi. I guess I like it. Anyway, I'm not immediately falling in love with it as I did with previous releases. |

what i've always found endearing about boc is the melody of which this album has none or at most very little. i am disappoint. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just one thing, fucking good. I needed something like this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just now digesting this album-- looks like they got their money's worth of dubTURBO 'cause these beats are killer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I've listened about 5 times through now and it has really grown on me. It's like a scorched earth wasteland. Much darker than previous releases. I think also, more mysterious. It's like a soundtrack for Mad Max or some other 1980's post-apocalypse sci-fi. So yeah, I love it now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Although all of BoC's releases have grown on me to some extent, this is the one that has shown most improvement with repeated listens. A lot of the criticisms I've seen people direct at it (too clean sounding in places, lacking the melodic flair of previous releases, etc.) are things that I felt the first few times hearing it, but now feel are less justified criticisms. |

omg..you're still alive and listening to excellent electronic music! :-) |

Finally got my copy today. I've only listened to the first quarter maybe, but I heard lots of nice stuff there. Lots of listens to come tonight! I must say though that the first track that came out, Reach for the Dead, really does it for me. I liked it the first time I heard it, but it's definitely grown on me more since. I had it playing in the car as I drove home from the record store and just sat there thinking "Damn, this is some good stuff!" |

@WooferAttack @The_Funkmaster Nice to see you guys! Hope all is well!!! |

|
|
tis well here, how about you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
after a listen through I think my favorite track is Palace Posy, it just sounds so strange yet still has a nice melody. Sort of reminds me of Seeya Later from Twosim in that way. |
||||||||
|

all is good here in southern California. |

i got really catched on my first decent listen by a track called something close to urinal... and also by the dust one, powerfull beats, easily my favourite... (still waiting for the cd..) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nice to see you! I hope you are fine too old buddy :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good to see you John! Me and The Jedi were talking about you when we went up into the mountains in the snow earlier in the year. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hope it was only good things being said :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
"I told you we could have buried them here; look how deep the snow is, no one would have ever found them..." :D How're things with you, where are you these days? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just got the cd so I'll finally get to hear this album with quality. The one I've been listening to was a rip from their youtube live transmission. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shocking!! :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Like many others, I found it slightly flat at first, but with repeat listens have come to enjoy it. Reach for the dead is my favorite track, which I've enjoyed immensely since my first listen; it was that track which motivated the repeat listens. I'm okay with it not being precisely the old BoC sound (which I adore). We have lots of great stuff with their old sound, and I hope they enjoyed experimenting a little with this one. |

I want my copy! Anyone else who hasn't received it yet from bleep? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Same here.. I've abstained from mp3s and have been frequently looking out my window for the mailman since last week.. I emailed bleep this morning. |
