Tomorrow's Harvest

[Vostok]

Probably old news, but I see the BOC website now just redirects straight to the http://cosecha-transmisiones.com/ screen.

Finally about to see a 'proper' update of the website???

Very old news indeed. That's how we found out about the cosecha website. All of their original sites link towards cosecha since monday.

I was still seeing the old site until....well....now! I had to click on the Boards of Canada title on the homepage before to get to the http://cosecha-transmisiones.com/ site??

Probably a cache thing I'm guessing?

yeah it was a cache thing, I remember when that site first popped up I had to clear my cache to see it

Off topic, but: I put together an Unofficial BoC ------/------/------/------/------/------ Album. It's a zip file of 9 tracks. All the clues in the best quality I could find, in Mp3 format. I leveled all the volumes about the same. The original AAAA and BBBB wavs form the banner clue are in there too (I was one who got the OG quick DL's). Also the final Tomorrow's Harvest Transmission. All in the order they were given to us. In anyone wants it, here's the DL link: http://www.mediafire.com/?kqofjosck1mrjrj

I put this on a couple threads so everyone sees

Thank you btw. I have actually enjoyed listening to these again.
It is a nice keepsake for the incredible journey we took leading up the release.

Cheers

Indeed. Listened earlier today- brought back that short-of-breath excitement and vividly replayed last week's moments in my mind. A special keepsake.

Nice. I was not aware there was new Arovane, Bola, and Plaid too. Good news!

A vintage year in the making! There's plenty on Blackest Ever Black that is soundtracking my year so far.. Raime, Dalhous, Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement.. I'd recommend them to any BOC fan. Also the Pantha Du Prince & The Bell Laboratory album. Of course these will all be out of the window come June 10th...

I wonder if the art cards cd version will be available at my local record store. I wasn't gonna get the cd, but I kind of want it and can't really spend any money to order it now.

I'm just gonna show up there at opening that Tuesday even though I preordered. It would be nice to meet some other fans around here.

Tomorrow's Harvest!!! I haven't been this excited for a new album probably since TCH was announced in 2005! 2013 is a hell of a year for music: the best year in memory since 2001 I'd say (which was monstrous)... Let's compare with some highlights:

Venentian Snare - many albums
Richard Devine - Lipswitch
Wagon Christ - Musipal
Telefon Tel Aviv - Fahrenheit Fair Enough
Stars of The Lid - Tired Sounds of Stars of The Lid
Bjork - Vespertine
ADULT. - Resuscitation
Ulrich Schnauss - Far Away Trains Passing By

So yeah... 2001 was fucking massive.

Not sure if these are the art cards or the inner sleeves, but you can zoom in on this one. seems like they're going all out with the desert/transmission stuff. very cool

That photo on the bottom right reminds me of the one on the left here: http://newcleardawn.com/

That's exactly what I thought- still intrigued by that whole NCD thing.

[NorthcutTAmnestY]

Wow, taking the cityscape out really kind of "cheers up" the whole image. Looks all bright and summery!

Honestly, I think it's a bit more brooding combined with the title, but anyway, I meant like keeping everything in the pic save for the cityscape would be more effective I think.

I can't get over how amazing BoC are a song titles; I love the title White Cyclosa.

[depechedaz]

I'm hoping it does have an 80's feel to it cos thats my era and I'm abit of a lover with all things regarding that era.

And regarding the cover I agree with what someone posted a while ago about it being San Fransico taken from the Almeida navel base. I'm a Mythbusters nerd and it looks familiar.

[realspiel]

Does anyone know if the youtube Sick Times is fake, it's pretty uninspiring if its legit?

[zeitgeist]

there's honestly no debate about the cover location. the 555 building is san fran. unmistakable.

Does anyone know if the youtube Sick Times is fake, it's pretty uninspiring if its legit?

of course its fake

Well I sure do like the description of the album over at Amazon:

"The idolized and enigmatic duo are back. After considerable speculation by their rabid fan base (not to mention the media following every step of the way), Boards of Canada have revealed that their new album Tomorrow s Harvest will be released on June 11 via their long time home, Warp Records. Musically, the album is somehow dark yet positive, with atmospheric dissonance and mind-bending melodic creations."

Lustmord out of that body!!!

No I don't really think they're going that far into the gloom, but the idea of an exorcism always brings a smile.

[gestell]

really? but is that different than the 16-page booklet?

I'd imagine the booklet and the art cards are definitely different things.

I'm really confused. I pre-ordered the CD from bleep. Now I have pre-ordered this 'LTD edition art card' CD from an indie store. But I have no idea if they are actually different versions or not.

I noticed that on Monday Bleep pre-orders said that CD comes with 16-page booklet. But, on Tuesday it said it comes with art cards. Can it be that the booklet was very limited edition and it sold out on Monday already?

I was thinking the same, that they added in the "with art cards" bit only today, but it still says 16-page booklet on another bleep page (the one with the vinyl, CD and three new tshirts all listed on the one page).

Ah, ok. Hopefully, we get both art cards and the booklet. After all, we pre-ordered...

I have emailed them so when I receive a reply tomorrow I'll post on here what the dealio is

[thepastinsidepressant]

looking at the photos up there, they must be inner vinyl sleeves. that first one, top right, could almost be a type landmine in the sand or aerial shot of a silo (pit for holding grain etc) the one underneath it, can't make it out, like a visor with bones? underneath it. creepy

[seanandcandy]

how long has it said "the day we thought would never arrive" on bleep under the artwork?

Yup, would agree with most of that list, though I'm struggling with the Knife so far. Might just need more listens. There's also a new album by The Necks due this year. And probably new material from A Winged Victory for the Sullen.
