GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC

[Geogandhi]

Honestly, I don't think anyone could pass it off as a "track" there is nothing about it that says it was done intentionally for hearing pleasure. If anything it'll be alluding to something, hidden stuff, to which I don't think it is but I haven't listened to on headphones, but there is a hidden beat/track near the end, loads of backwards talking.

Are you talking about the insanely badly laid out advert image?
Might as well add the random audio clip posted on reddit by some randomer to the speculation if you're getting excited about anything.

I'm just talking about the increasing social media likes/interactions. And I said, someone should just ask "is something happening?" and see if it likes it so people can actually know if they should be excited or not.

In regards to that advert, I jokingly called it "cruel and unusual for not being real"

To Bungler666, I still enjoyed someone making something like that! If that actually happened, I'd probably have a coffee fueled listening marathon in my room and not leave a second unplayed.

A good point - if it's a hint of some kind, it doesn't need to be of the same 'quality' that a proper track is.

To the dissection slab!

I posted this on the reddit, as I think there is something to this. Basically, the clyp has a code in the narrative section:

aydhl1k4ni23iand9dni H18x37u9x74I

I was thinking it might be some type of guide (if true) along the 2013 teasers.

I dont know what it means, but there are two sets of formula in there. 18x37 and 9x74. Both add up to 666.

Also the number 23 in there, which is Discordian.

Freaky

vons - where did you run into that clip?

[vonS]

The Reddit BoC thread. It popped up quietly 2 days ago. Its increasingly curious.

[Negamuse]

Yeah IMHO it's not BoC (because, listen to it ) but I guess if you squint it does sound like someone trying to do a Geogaddi. The reversed speech samples are (when flipped back around) from "Psychedelic Prayers Adapted from the Tao Te Ching", not managed to pull the exact recording, and I probably can't be bothered. But I mean... Boards's sample digging tends to be a bit deeper and less obvious than that.

Would be nice to have this track in context, if it's from a bigger album. I'm sure it's an interesting project! But it doesn't sound like BoC to me, except if you say "reversed speech + effected synths = BoC", which is a bit of a big generalisation.

Like Ech suggested, I asked the BoC Twitter, "is something happening?".

Like Ech suggested, I asked the BoC Twitter, "is something happening?".

They'll probably be sly and not respond to it. But if they do like it, I have a feeling the community might explode

[vonS]

Nice work on flipping and tracking the samples. That is a bit disappointing, as you are right, BoC are usually more varied. I would like some clarity on the weird fragment though.

[ZosoCon]

Ha, the Clyp account name "Catherine Fell" is an anagram for Hell Interface.

[Geogandhi]

So nothing in that meditation sample that alludes to anything then? regardless of where it's from? Like I said, It does not sound like a track, nowhere near enough thought gone into it to be considered part of a collection, it has to be an info clip to allude to something, 99% trolling.

I can't see anything in the string of info apart from the sums. the clip is 66 seconds and at the start it says something like "for the purpose of this broadcast we will known as" but then I can't make anything else out and that's exactly 6 seconds in.

[vonS]

No way? Man, thats right. Interest picqued. Again. Would be good if we could get a steer from the official account if this is nonsense or not (I assume, as usual, we would get radio silence).

I cant, for the life of me, crack any of the letters in the narrative string (the one with treble sixes), unless its random fluff and only the numbers are meant to signify anything.

If it is genuine, is the track Fortunate Sons meant to signify those lucky enough to come across it, or are we getting a Creedence Clearwater influenced new direction? Lol.

Whatever, its a rabbit hole...

[Geogandhi]

There is the possible name Ian or Ian D in the string, googling points out a few authors but none of which look suitable. One does History of Scottish Migration though haha. Could be code to lines, words in a text but fucked if i'm going down that hole.

[vonS]

Lol. I ran the letters through a few ciphers and did a stat analysis on them to no avail because (a) yes, I am that sad, (b) I would like a new album before Covid or WW3 gets me, and (c) im laid up in bed with a bad back and it occupies my time.

[Geogandhi]

regarding CCR you mentioned linking to the name of the clip, when BoC did those latest remixes I said that I felt that their next release would be a summer of love, hippy 60/70s vibe, due to their production techniques of old school panning, i.e. all drums on one side etc. Their remixes felt like they were trying to be from an era akin to something like Forever changes by Love.

[ZosoCon]

Spot on! Yeah definitely Timothy Leary there.

Whatever, its a rabbit hole...

Rabbit hole indeed.

[vonS]

Im not too convinced on the hippy side (if it is real...), as the reddit link refers to a ‘vile thread’ and there are 666 references, even the Hell Interface pseudonym! There would be various ways of signalling if it was indeed BoC (huge if) but this seems dark.

That said, your CCR point is well taken, and there is the Timothy Leary samples to support it (I have no idea how the poster tracked that down/worked it out). If it was the 60s, and its legit, it suggests to me it could be more of a Manson type bad trip...

[Negamuse]

Literally just scraped the audio and flipped it in Audacity and googled what I heard. I was half expecting it to be something funny put there as a troll

[Geogandhi]

weird, noticed my post count was 339! could it be, when I first mentioned the clip, my 333rd post? eer, yeah it was. They are using us in their narrative ha.
I guess you can find anything in anything if you want to find dots to join.
