If you look at the NCD website a certain way, the eye makes an O, so it says, "ONCD Systems: FNORD", as in it's on CD systems that the hypnotic (fnord) messages will play.

*Cue evil laughter*

Also, boc finally used the eye and the pyramid symbol overtly on something.

Yeah the Invocation video is only official boc video besides Dayvan Cowboy.

There is that web loops bit as well which is a capture of an old version of their web site.

Hey, first time posting here. Forgive me for weighing on an aging discussion.

I agree, this is probably just some fun curiosity of one of the Hex Sun members, and it probably doesn't contain hidden messages to BoC fans about a forthcoming album.

But, I'm too eager for a new album to not think about it. And I'm curious to know if anybody else sees what I see (its a bit silly).

I did a quick reverse image search on the pyramid, which turns out to be the palace of peace and reconciliation in Kazakhstan. Second image shows a library in the background. The third image, could be construed as a sort of appropriated BoC logo. And the last one, a handshake, represents an agreement.

So, my silly theory is this. We album hungry fans ask, where is the new album?

This website answers: at the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation, in the library, ask the receptionist for the BoC Album, she'll ask you to agree to something (to listen only, to not tell your friends where you found it, to pay $17.95, etc...), and the album is yours.

I know this is silly (and implausible), but for the sake of enjoying some speculation, does anybody else see this?

To be quite honest, I think you're insane. But I like this theory nonetheless. If I can ever afford a trip to Kazakhstan I'll be sure to give this a try

I am the person who discovered New Clear Dawn and this is exactly how I found it, by requesting a list of domains hosted on the same server as boardsofcanada.com. It actually cost me a few bucks, but it was worth it ;).

Oh and the jewellery designer, I think I know who that is. Right after I posted a link to that website MDG removed my posts within minutes. It's as if that guy is lurking here 24/7 and intervenes whenever he thinks that's necessary. I personally think censorship is a bad thing but whatever.

And Ustillhavefriends, yes that was already discovered..


That's very interesting Guido.

I wonder why MDG did that.. Maybe try posting it again. Just to see what happens..
You were on to something Guido..

The collective operates for the most part in secret so I imagine any attempts we make to connect other artists or businesses to Hexagon Sun will be denied. It is a bit disrespectful to disclose such connections without permission, but it's understandable that the hiatus has made it kind of tough not to snoop around.

And no that's not a BOC logo. It's the Bohemian Club logo.

So has anyone figured out what ncd1.jpg and ncd2.jpg are?

And...the whois has been updated. There's an email

Maybe it's a TOR website actually?

It's definitely not a hash, here it is 27kcgxxynwhxi3yxd0hydy6yetpe5v

The email 27kcgxxynwhxi3yxd0hydy6yetpe5v@hexagonsun.com I think I got it right

I've sent them an email, I wonder if they'll respond?
