Yeah I read that, they're not IDM, they hate Laptop music and there are no mysteries to be unraveled in this album. |

How old where you when you started making music? Mike: We were about 6 or 7 years old man, that must have sounded awesome..anyone's got any of that? |

is that like pre-idm kinda thing? |
||||||||
|
|

I think the tape is the source of all their kiddie voice samples, which actually is Mike before he hit puberty. |

i wish they wouldn't post pictures of people making this music i'd rather not put any type of face with this music too personal |
||||||||
|

:) now that one of them got a daughter, they might go old school with their next album again! |

Brothers of Canada. i knew it was all a little bit homo-incestuous.... ( k i d d i n g) loving the 3 tracks i've heard so far |

Slower than Geogaddi? Oh boy I can hardly wai...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz |

what a nice couple of chaps. a nice honest interview. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ohh, they went all aphexy with the hype thing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

isn't hiding he fact that they were brothers, making a big deal of it. I mean who cares really? If its all about the music, then all this aloofness is pants. Same goes for the rest.... ae, afx, pusher etc. I can understand privacy, but at least call it that and stop trying to be all bleedin anti-media about it.... unless its good craic doing it ... which i suspect is the case. Everyone loves a bit of mystery. But when you find out the mystery is engineered, it becomes wanky. Still its all about the music. (I didn't even know orbital were brothers... and now that i do, i don't care about that either.) |

damn, they should have released a double album of electronic tracks vs. guitar tracks.. instead of trying to blend the two (unsuccessfully imo. guitar loop samples repeating the same phrase ad nauseum is not creative). i bet i would have liked the all-guitar disc more. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dunno, i think it works really well. we already have fourtet doing similar things...bpards have put there spin on it. I wanna hear an acoustic MHTRTC! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, damn that would be ace! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I'm sure it would've been much better. It's a shame they're so afraid of taking risks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

"guitar loop samples repeating the same phrase ad nauseum".. but boc are idm and woth all their post-production efforts, repeated listens reveal more than just that going on. I still hear new things on MHTRTC and thats one of the treasures of BoC... seemingly samey, actually depth-ridden |
||||||||
|
|

Mike: We also started working on an acoustic version of Music Has the Right to Children years ago and it still exists. RELEASE THIS YOU FAGGOTS |
||||||||

It was a bit boring. But thanks for sharing anyway! |

I'm glad they debunked some of the myths about themselves and their music. I don't know why they're so worried about having guitar tracks though, if you hear that untitled tape collection, the guitar tracks fit in nicely, they maintain the same BOC atmosphere. Maybe they should just have another alias to release that side of their music, if they're that worried. |

I think they are lying when it comes to hidden things in their songs. I mean : there's TO MUCH EVIDENCES that they don't just "make music". They are trying to fool us and to play with their fans. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You can read anything into anything, I think they are interested in certain things such as numerology and cults, stick in samples for atmosphere, maybe play games with references and track titles, but I wouldn't say they were adovcating a lifestyle or subverting innocent IDM fans. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you must be right, but it seems they don't even want us to think they are into these things and just make music like evety other musicians |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I concur. I think it is very interesting and sometimes spooky. It does add a really nice splendor to it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I prefer dark BOC I think... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

great interview, think its better than Wire and... what a joke, they are not brothers! they always doing these mind fucks! Michael And Marcus stop it! these mind games :) strange interview...better than the wire interview. so Cocteau Twins want them to release stuff thats cool..and why dont they release the electronic stuff under another alias? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fucking hell. They winge about the fanboy mythology that's sprang up around them and now they've brought a whole new are they/aren't they brothers thing into the equation. That's gonna be kicking around the 'net for months. Smooth move fellas. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not to sound like a prude, but i'm surprised at how many spelling errors were in there. but yeah, they sound nice enough. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are u sure of that ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol!!! :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and they're afraid people won't believe they made the music if there's too much guitar in it, even if it has "BOARDS OF CANADA" printed in some fuckugly type on the cover. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i sense a lot of sarcasm in this interview, or maybe its just me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

hahha, that sigur rós is guy is quite funny. Pitchfork: When you hear that people enjoy falling asleep to your music, do you take that as a compliment or an insult? Sveinsson: I would take it as a compliment. I like the idea that people have different views and feelings and opinions about our music. But I think it's more because of the heat or something. Pitchfork: Maybe they were just so affected by the beauty of your music that they just couldn't take it! Sveinsson: Or maybe they didn't drink enough water! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I smell a lot of sarcasm :) they just fucking with the interviewer ;) trust me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no! no! I don't trust you! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Damn BOC interviews never mention anything about a BoCset or A Few Old Tunes or the stuff they did before MHTRTC... they should someday cover the whole deal and say what's all about that. But they gotta name it "BoCset". Its too obvious, a one in a lifetime chance of having such a great name for something. |
||||||||

'Maybe they should just have another alias to release that side of their music, if they're that worried.' how do you know they havent! |
||||||||
