Bonus points to you for picking that specifically Hexagonal based delish.

Personally, I think Warp are actually gearing up for a new [your favourite artist] release.

Woah! Back up there. [the flaming lips] moved to warp records?! Wayne Coyne and his major label antics.

Personally, I am very interested in the new [Wall of Voodoo] album being released through Warp, particularly since one of its founding (and arguably most important) members has been dead for twenty years.

This thread is impressive; we can transition from talking about Silent Hill and Arcade Fire to societal collapse and government sanctioned culling in a single post. I don't know if I find that fucking hilarious or fucking depressing.

We are much like our heroes. They love their pop culture but also love sneaking in samples about FEMA camps into their music

I’m holding onto to the theory, that they are waiting for some sort of dates or numbers to line up. Something I don’t know what it is. I feel it is strongly tied to the Closed Captions in the Sheol Boundry video. Something about Christmas. Feel free to DM me I’ll be passing out complimentary tin foil hats. I believe

Edit: pioneer plaque. Astrology . Other things…. Fnord on a Tuesday

If a BOCSet is due next I wonder if sample clearance has been a major hold up, I know Avalanches follow up to since I left you took about 10 years to get clearance on a lot of the tracks, I think they had to physically put a letter into Paul McCartney's hand to get permission on the come together sample they used! I wonder what challenges BOC and Warp are facing that we'll never see

If other news nothing appears to be happening with Stargate, they've got their additional likes on IG so I bet they'll just sit on that for a while now

I'm not sure how sample clearance works exactly, but considering the Old Tunes songs are registered on multiple music repertory sites, I don't think that would be much of a hold up now.

If you ask me Wall Of Voodoo lost their magic as soon as Stan and Joe left, they were the real heart and soul of the band lmao. At this point even on the off chance that Stan's interested in a reunion it wouldn't be the same since Joe and Marc are both dead. Oh well, at least my copies of Dark Continent and Call Of The West are still there for me to go back to regularly!

(also Stan's solo stuff is pretty good, I've got a couple albums of his and quite enjoy them [especially "Partyball"])

Looking for some nostalgia?

A capture from time to salivate over?

A smidgen more to whet those appetites?

Wow I love the more old-school twoism style. When did we decide to modernize?

I believe it was in 2014, when the forum got thrown into the modern age via phpBB3.

Forgive me for going off topic, but when am I ever going to find someone to talk Voodoo with.

I think WoV could have survived as a new iteration of the band after they left but their label really wasn't too invested in them. The band got Ian Broudie for Sammystown but for the next the label just said "fuck it, bring in Mazda again, that worked, right?". After that, the label put out a live album to "spark interest", but that didn't do much either. Songs like Wrong Way to Hollywood, Museums, Living In the Red, and Blackboard Sky still showed promise IMO.

Are Sammystown and Happy Planet the inferior albums? Yeah, honestly, but I think WoV could have gotten away without Stans vocals, but sure as hell not without Marc's signature guitar work. If you've never heard it, I highly recommend checking out the album "Plan 9 From Las Vegas" by Department of Crooks, which was a short-lived band with Marc in the 90s and I think you'll hear what I'm talking about, Andy even provided some piano for that one too.

Warp need to sign XTC even though they've been in late period feud deadlock for 17 years and will never settle their difference

You can change to a very similar theme right now. Go to User Control Panel -> Board Preferences -> My Board Style and choose "twoism-ripplex". Enjoy!

With how shitty I feel nowadays, it would be nice to see something like the first page again.

We're Kraftwerk fans now. Anything that happens is unexpected and a pleasant surprise, unless someone dies. This is the way.

[Sky and Trails]

Boards of Canada will release a new album soon.

[Josh]

No. They won't.

Disagree. When (not if) something happens it's definitely expected. You just need to be willing to read all the signs. They're out there. http://bocpages.org/wiki/Timeline

Oh yeah, I'm not saying that WoV instantly turned shit after Call Of The West but they definitely lost a lot of what made them special imo. They sound closer to any other post-punk band from Sammystown onwards, Stan's bizarre-o lyrics and Joe's crazy percussion really brought a lot to the table for them and made them stand out way more. Those songs you recommended are indeed pretty good though, I've got a soft spot for Big City as well.

Big thanks for recommending Plan 9 From Las Vegas too by the way, I'm only 2 tracks in but this is sounding like exactly my type of thing so far! I think I even like it better than Andy-era WoV already lmao
Something tells me BoC would probably dig this too:
