Tim Hecker - Virgins and Forest Swords album were more memorable than r+7, for my musical taste. Anyway, what a year that was for electronic music; Jon Hopkins - Immunity, Ae - Exai, BOC - Tomorrow's Harvest, Daft Punk - RAM, The Haxan Cloak..

There was that YAYAYI album too, which needs way more recognition from the electronic music community.

In what world is Tri Repetae an ambient album? They could have at least picked Amber, but even that would be a questionable choice. Oxygène is also a confusing pick... SAW85-92 at least has "Ambient" in the title, but SAW Vol. 2 would make much more sense. Even Tomorrow's Harvest, I wouldn't call Ambient.

A good selection of albums, sure, but what a weird list to put them on :lol:

It's time again for a Biznasty speculation update!

It seems, now that we're just a day away from O Monolith, that we won't be getting any BoC news prior to Squid's big day. (Side note, I caught the album livestream yesterday and it sounds great so I'm looking forward to its release too)

The only officially announced Warp release right now is kwes' Rye Lane OST, which I tried emailing Warp about in regards to the odd release date discrepancy but haven't received a response yet.
Image

As I said in the email, for some reason Bandcamp is showing the album as releasing on July 1st, whereas Bleep, Warp's website, and every news article I could find about it agrees on November 3rd. For one thing, it's just weird that Bandcamp seems to have this error, but also that they announced this album five months prior to release. That's a huge lead time... Plenty of time for... other things to release between then and now.

Aside from Rye Lane, we still have OPN's promise of a new album coming this year. He actually reconfirmed that just a week ago. Lastly we have the new Hi Scores with the new cat number WARP367. (Weirdly similar to TH's cat number, WARP257. +1+1+0) As I said in a previous post, I have a sneaking suspicion that Warp Hi Scores might end up being part of a bigger campaign of releasing old material, but of course that's just pure hopium. At the very least, we should eventually get an announcement for a Hi Scores repressing. Why else give it a new cat number? If that's the case, we still have mdg's promise that a new album was on its way from just under a year ago. I'd suspect they'd want that to be the first big news from BoC, before a comparatively measly repress.

Warp like to announce things on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and they don't often like to leave gaps between announcements. I think it's safe to say we can expect something (anything) soon. After tomorrow, there's effectively nothing on the docket. (No offense, kwes, but November is just really far away :lol:) Not putting too much pressure on upcoming dates, I hope, but, just to be safe, cross every finger and toe you have, people!

TL;DR boccy plox

Im convinced something is up. Mostly in the sky. The brothers they are.. involved.
The day Nasa holds a press conference on Ufos, the brothers like 2 tweets. 5/31/23

In addition to that, many of the samples used on Sheol Boundary's Uuh video can be linked to extraterrestrial origin.


Then there is EOC..... Could it be BOC in disguise? a couple of friends of hexagonsun who like archiving and sharing these types of videos. What's actually going on here?

Also Tomorrow's Harvest is now on Bleep's homepage

Still no official acknowledgement from Warp or BoC, though.

I predicted we're probably gonna get an acknowledgement tomorrow or Saturday. Even if it's Squids day, I'm sure they'll find a way to work something in just to appease nerds like me.

I also agree with you that the Hi Scores thing is probably part of a BOCset or archival project. You can't give us a complete collection if you don't own everything.

Still thinking the Pioneers Plaque might be the design/theme if they go archival on us.

Though the only downside, I feel, is if it's archival, it might be in the manner of Daft Punk's epilogue. A way to close the corners and end things!

With the coincidence of TH anniversary, Canada wildfire smoke, Unknown origin craft whistle blowing and pioneer plaque.. And the rest of it.. I don't know it's just weird. It would be utterly rediculous to link it all together.. Pareidolia at its finest.. And synchronicity.. with some coincidence thrown in for good measure.. A perfect breeding ground for BoC induced psychosis and delusions.. Keep taking the meds, Don't quit anything cold turkey, Plenty of fresh air (if you have that luxury), fruit and exercise and stay hydrated peeps

Yah I'm really not banking on anything mindblowing. Also predict that the BOC Twitter will like/retweet the Stereogum article and maybe like a few tweets about TH and/or new music

Oxygène ain't a confusing pick for me, I can see why it was chosen to be on the list. But I couldn't really pigeonhole it into a genre, it simply is electronic music!

(Stunning release though. J.M Jarre's truest ambience was Waiting for Cousteau which isn't for everyone's liking, even if you have the patience of a true saint to listen to Eno's Thursday Afternoon in full. :lol:)

June 10th might just be a general retweet fest like they always do, but really only time will tell if it's anything notable.
