I keep imagining the recording process of the new album went a bit like this
(the fans being Lance Dior & Harold Boom trying to figure out what BoC are planning next)

At this point, anything... but I do think more live instrumentation would be the most interesting direction for the bros. They've dabbled with it before, particularly on Headphase, but it'd be rad to actually hear them in full band mode. I still want the iconic BoC synth wizardry, I just think it would be neat to hear it wrapped around some psych rock, post-punk or jazz. SxT has a primary focus on those genres (alongside folk and disco) which makes me wonder if they're setting the scene for a more 'traditional' sounding release.
I'd also love to hear them tackle long-form ambient recordings, as a separate release. BoC's interludes are often their most magical moments, and imagining those on a larger scale gets me super excited.
Agree with sherbet head that to have live instrumentation would be great, as i've always liked the punchyness of the drum backing on tracks like 1969 and EYDIAB.
One thing that BoC always put into their albums and EP's is a strong sense of mental imagery (which plays on the nostalgia theme) so one thing i have no doubt about is that when the upcoming project is announced, that is what i'm avidly going to be most excited about!
As for a theme, I'm thinking maybe a space rock/gong/steve hillage type sound.
Anticipation is building, and we're all along for the ride.
