See at the circumferential text. On right, it says "Unauthorised". And at the left, it says "Lisenced".

Damn, is a massive-duplicated CD, how's that nobody verified this before sending the CDs to print? :shock:

Not typos, that's British English spellings.


but not Lisenced, thats a typo right there, theres no 's' in the British at all.
Unauthorised is fine though, thats correct British spelling.

the typesetter got confused with American and British and in turn got them both wrong.
i.e. There is an 's' in the American version, Licensed.

Boards of Canada title tracks amazingly. They're always cryptic enough but still sound awesome on their own regardless. Sort of like Elliot Smith lyrics. I Overflow Man. I love that.

and isn't Smokes Quantity the nickname of one of their friends? still a reference nonetheless, I guess.

My observations.

That New Clear Dawn website has a bunch of One World Order (Illuminati) symbolism.

The pyramid is the Illuminati Pyramid. The highest level symbolizes the elite, and the rest of the world is down below them.

The Owl of Moloch is an animal involved in Satanic child sacrifice and Satan worship, as well as Illuminati meetings in the bohemian grove.

Not sure what the Owl of Minerva means. Could allude to "the owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of the dusk", meaning that philosophy comes to understand a historical condition just as it passes away.

The Handshake alludes to the Illuminati secret handshake.

The picture of the woman in the cubicle is what the elite want humans to be like; slaves to the corporate system working on computers, serving the system.

The Eye in the pyramid represents the All Seeing Eye used by the Illuminati. They claim to have a source of omniscient knowledge (Satan).

I think it means they are observing what we do online and in the internet and using it for "development".

"Nuclear Dawn" and "New Clear Dawn"

User "extherium" makes an interesting observation
"The owl's foot and breast form a lambda - λ
The radioactive decay constant is often cited as λ."

All in all, BoC could be Satanist Illuminati. Their music is great though

Have you tried searching the cd backwards? I remember some bands having songs start at like -4:34. Maybe?

Here is a quote from the link above "Philosophy or Wisdom appears only at the end of a mature society just before it falls into decay", seems to fit into the basic understanding of the album and fits with the title.
A clearance in a wooded area, you startle a deer, it runs into the pines. Vast turquoise lakes and icy rivers, crisp mountain air. A bald eagle soars above. The distant sound of a chainsaw. Redwood smoke

Yes, I have the special edition of Blurs Think Tank, when you rewind from track 1 and you end up with a hidden track named "Me white noise" with that Parklife guy.

Also, could "I overflow man" be a riddle?

Thinking of "I OVERFLOW MAN" as a quote that would be attributed to a supernatural being or inscribed by some old totem, as well as a sort of statement of intent for TH. A classical view of divinity is that it "pollutes the person in contact with it unless his exposure is regulated by the laws of taboo." another quote: "a certain amount of [divine energy] is life-enhancing, and a little bit more is lethal." I take "I OVERFLOW MAN" also as a vague nod to such taboo; the thing that "overflows man" has its place but is dangerous and unpredictable outside of it. This of course comes with some damning implications- many such things are completely unmarked and as such the world is deeply spiritually polluted. Which goes with the more obvious type of ruin seen in the TH promotional artwork.

Ever seen the first episode of The Lone Gunmen that played out 9/11 exactly how it happened, before it happened?

Yeah the music's great, but what the hell is going on?
