That's clearly what it's saying, right? Anyone disagree?Echelon wrote:Speaking of Doxa Sinistra, it's creepy how they got an electronica track that not only sounds a bit like Boards but also has samples that seem to pertain to the mystery solving situation we're in now.
Yeah, there's a few points on here where it seems like they're sending bizarre messages through the choice of vocals. The Orange Juice interlude, for example, could be interpreted as them taking shots at all the crappy fake BoC tracks that have showed up over the years. If you replace oranges with music and Minute Maid with Boards Of Canada it makes a lot of sense!
As a side note, I fucking love how they brought back the Old Tunes-style interlude tracks for this tape lmao
If the "fearful forces" are BOC and "the proxy" is the mix-tape. What would their pattern be?
Just the whole style of the tape with, as you said, the old tunes-style interlude tracks and homages to their favorite old music, makes me think that their next release is going to be archival or something that is backwards looking. Which to be 100% honest is something I'd greatly enjoy either way.
Yeah I have a feeling they are going to go full tape crunch with this next one haha hopefully really experimental... I would love a “showcase” album incorporating all of their various secret techniques and odd-random experimentation skills!
