I don't mind this thread being constantly bumped because I don't click on it expecting to find big news or anything, I just like seeing what people are talking about, it kind of feels like a "boards of canada bar" sometimes, I wonder if a thread like that would work, it'd be like 'This Random Thread' except for boc related chatter, random things that aren't worth making a thread for them.

Sorry to disappoint but rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. ;-)

Tomorrows Harvest is a terrible swansong, it's one of my favourite albums of all time but it's WAY too dark to be their last album, they need to end on a brighter note than that... Please... Give me hope for the future, we can't end with the apocalypse

"As they talk about their favorite films - the psychedelic surf movie Crystal Voyager, Antonioni's panoramic Zabriskie Point - Mike and Marcus come across as committed to their art and curious about life. "If all goes according to plan, everything we've done so far will be just one stage in our development," Mike says, " Boards of Canada is the tip of the iceberg."

BoC do not seem to be driven by publishing their material, but that quote gives me hope that TH was not the only thing they had planned for the future. They have kids and lives, making their delay between releases more understandable. But they did Societas X tape, and several remixes. They're still very much active and I fully expect more albums - and maybe something more ambitious.

I have this strange feeling this exact comment has been made on this message board at least 30 times!

I wonder if there is a rip in the space / time continuum somewhere near these comments.

(Strange. Now I feel the same about what I just said... hmm...)

Something. Happening. To me... but... what?!

Haha sorry, my friend. Simply appreciating one of the best electronic talents alongside BOC. I'm honestly surprised Warp never tried to snatch them up XD

Too big of a fish I suppose. Went shopping at my local mall today and they were playing "Get Lucky" like it was summer 2013 all over again, but the fact that the band is dead & buried made it feel super weird somehow...

Thanks, I took it from a newspaper I found on bocpages
I wonder if the brothers themselves decided to go by that name for the event

Five. Fucking. Pounds. For Autechre and BoC. Jesus.

I wish we at least had setlists from those pre-1999 shows. I mean, is there anyone on this board that went to one of those? I've found no concert reports of any BoC shows before the Warp 10th anniversary party. Meanwhile there's recordings of Aphex Twin shows from 1991.

£5 for AE, BoC and Jesus is indeed a bargain.

I'd probably have seen Jesus had i gone to that show.
