Unfortunately, he's right. Here's why, in my opinion:

As you know, in 2005 more than half of Boards of Canada's super-mystical secret discography was unleashed on the net. Quotes from Hexagon Sun officials say that they were planning on polishing these up and releasing them in the future as a box set. This is what I presume they were working on pre-internet leak and subsequent hubub. Once it was released, they figured that a rerelease would be kinda pointless, so they started over from scratch, which explains the three year gap since a proper release. That combined with three significant events that point to an end of BoC: Mike becoming a father (baby girl, 2004), their beginning of a production career, and the completetion of a trilogy. First, fatherhood for Mike means he is probably desiring a steady income which cannot be hurt by the rise of pirated music, which leads to production (Sexual Objects or Whatever) and remix work which provides a steadier income. Finally, BoC are symbolists and it would have been very BoC like to create a trilogy of albums on a major label and leave it at that.

They've lost steam. It's over, for better or worse.

i hate the fact that i persistently revisit this board to post. it's incredible how boards of canada have planted these seeds, and from it we the fans are constantly craving the slight necessity. i hardly listen to boards of canada any more, but they are constantly in my thought...

Ugh. This really does prove the pointlessness of speculation. The assumption that Mike becoming a father means the end of BoC has no foundation whatsoever, the trilogy theory is just that - a theory and the production argument holds no weight surely as if they were looking to make money, they wouldn't make it producing such a low key band.

This is getting boring now.

The absence of any real info seems to inspire a lot of amusing fiction on this forum. For the benefit of the newcomers (and the amnesiacs!) there is a new BoC album on the way.

Yeah, it was all just speculation, aside from the AFoT stuff. Never said it was truth.

But still, it is possible.
