There has been a lot of talk about "New Clear Dawn" being the title of the next BOC album. I am not sure if this has been mentioned before, but the words "new clear dawn" as a play on nuclear dawn was used in the Emerson Lake & Palmer song, Karn Evil 9, 3rd Impression.

Well thats an out of place comment.

For what its worth here are the lyrics to the song mentioned above:

Man alone; born of stone;
Will stamp the dust of time
His hands strike the flame of his soul;
Ties a rope to a tree and hangs the universe
Until the winds of laughter blows cold.

Fear that rattles in men’s ears
And rears it’s hideous head
Dread .... death .... in the wind ....

Man of steel pray and kneel
With fever’s blazing torch
Thrust in the face of the night;
Draws a blade if compassion
Kissed by countless kings
Whose jewelled trumpet words blind his sight.

Walls that no man thought would fall
The altars of the just
Crushed .... dust .... in the wind ....

No man yields who flies in my ship
Danger!
Let the bridge computer speak
Stranger!
Load your program. I am yourself.

No computer stands in my way
Only blood can cancel my pain
Guardians of a new clear dawn
Let the maps of war be drawn.

Rejoice! glory is ours!
Our young men have not died in vain,
Their graves need no flowers
The tapes have recorded their names.

I am all there is
Negative! primitive! limited! I let you live!
But I gave you life
What else could you do?
To do what was right
I’m perfect! are you?

still, I'd think naming the website after the album title is very un-boardslike
surely they'd go for something much more cryptic?

if you are reading this you are spending too much time at your computer. go outside and get some fresh air.

New Clear Dawn is also a song by the band Earthrise, who most likely based it on EML´s lyric.
Borné dans sa nature, infini dans ses vœux, l'homme est un dieu tombé qui se souvient des cieux.

Clearly he was.
1) Check out his post-history
2) His homepage; hexagonsun.com. Yeah right
3) Hso? Like in Hexagon Sun Official? Give me a break.

Thanks for clearing it up though. Pretty sure this guy will not post anymore.

As for the name New Clear Dawn. I really like it. I hope the music will provoke myself visioning walking through a forgotten nuclear lab or something.
I also think its a bold and great move of BoC to touch this theme.
Wonder how the combination of Nuclear Threat and Childlike innocence come together. :)

I am Marcus' son, I can't tell you much but I know that there will be something new from BOC this year. Expect something by Christmas. That is all I can say at this time.

Yes indeed.

As for this, Sigur Ros did it pretty well, with their video for 'Vaka' (untitled 1)
I wonder if BoC will really go for the nuclear route... it doesnt really do anything for me, feels a little 'inauthentic' with regards to their usual themes, a little too specific.. but hell; I'm sure if that is the basis for anything they do, they'l go about it in a tasteful manner with typical BoC integrity.
