It just occurred to me...

OK, the announcement seemed pretty abrupt - the site and its secrets were unlocked pretty quick..
but the boardsofcanada.com still points towards it.

What if other passwords unlocked other stuff?
Maybe there's more teasers to come?

without capital letters being possible, it'd be easier to brute force any more passwords, but i don't know anything about it, and it would probably still take a hundred million years

Not to mention, whatever other surprise they might have in store through alternate code(s) might not become active until closer to the album release. Seems like a waste of time to pursue at the moment, to be honest. Let's focus on what's coming to us first!

Maybe there are new codes in the artwork.

I don't think the marketing crew thought it would be figured out so fast, for any of the 'steps'. Not even close. I would be interested in knowing how long they actually thought it would take, what their projections were.

I'm glad they did get everything to trigger once it was figured out though!

And I wonder if there are more files hosted on http://d2z73vh7cr79ry.cloudfront.net/

apart from tomorrows_harvest_transmission.mp4 and cosecha.mp3

EDIT: seems there's also tomorrows_harvest_transmission.ogv

You guys are really overthinking all of this.

This^

But at the same time, everyone:

Have your fun. This is truly a different experience when it comes to music. If you want to get involved and overthink, go right ahead! Nobody is stopping you! :) I'm sure we have all had those times where we overthink something and blow it out of proportion. It's all just out of excitement, and the Brothers must be thrilled to have such high expectations for their work. So, have fun, think positively, and keep going!

I don't necessarily agree with this.

Every time I see someone speculate that there may be more to discover, someone else feels the need to step in and tell them, "NO. IT'S OVER." How do you know either way?

Let people speculate and have their fun. I find it more likely that there will be some continuation of the "puzzle" for the following reasons:

-All of the sites are still redirecting to the cosecha-transmissiones password prompt. Although maybe they're just waiting until closer to the release date to launch a new site...
-Besides the soundcloud audio, the twoism banner, and the metadata on the cosecha-transmissiones site, the number clues were basically spoon-fed to us. If the brothers had more to do with this than just green-lighting a marketing campaign (i.e. planning and design...which seems likely if you think the whole Redmoon thing was "official"), don't you think there would more to it?

Like I've said before, maybe I'm just projecting my admiration for BoC and their obvious attention to detail, but something about "here's the password...album's out on the 10th" seems anticlimactic.

I'm not over thinking, I just find it odd they kept it up and haven't replaced it with more straightforward promotional material.

Could be that there might be bonus tracks released through the site. Just imagine if you opened your new BoC album only to find a code inside. Perhaps the potential Japanese bonus track will be available through the site.

(more speculation) Could be one of them used to be a VMS Systems Administrator before he chucked his job to become a full time musician in 1996.

A clearance in a wooded area, you startle a deer, it runs into the pines. Vast turquoise lakes and icy rivers, crisp mountain air. A bald eagle soars above. The distant sound of a chainsaw. Redwood smoke

OMG the use-by date is over 10,000 years away. Use it slowly. :lol:

Actually, that's the clue. It's when the followup to Tomorrow's Harvest will be released :lol:
