GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC

[luminousdusk]

Was just reading their interview 'nice melodies from nice people'

They say "we have an agreement (with warp) that we can continue to release material on other labels, but not under that name (Boards of Canada)"

So I'm wondering if maybe there has been a contractual issue with warp regarding the promotion of Hell Interface via the BoC moniker?

The scary part is that they might already be releasing music under names and we don't know about it.

Yeah, they said in an interview circa '98 that they had upcoming music on a skam compilation but we wouldn't know it was them because they' d be using another alias, this has probably been happening for years yet I don't think we are any wiser as to what they're other alias could be besides hell interface!

[luminousdusk]

With all the copyright information available online it might be quite easy these days to cross check artist names on skam compilations

[luminousdusk]

Forgive me, Just realised it was Hell Interface they were referring to but they may have other aliases.. who knows

This might explain why the BoC YouTube channel removed HI as a featured channel. It however does not explain why the HI YouTube channel still features the BoC channel. This could of course imply they (whoever manages all the web accounts) simply forgot to adjust the HI YouTube account.

Yes, although it's possible to get music copywrited to an alias. Pain in the arse if you get into legal disputes with it but people do it

If warp didn't want HI involved with BOC, then why would they use the youtube account for the tomorrow's harvest campaign?

Ah interesting must have slipped by me. What channel did they use and for what?

fredd-e noticed that the Featured Channels on the Boards of Canada YouTube channel have been removed. Which lead me to check if anyone else had noticed.

Unfortunately, we don't know when exactly they were removed. We're pretty sure they were still there on the 22nd, when all the other stuff was removed, but we can't be certain because no one ever screenshotted that page on that day.

Using the Wayback Machine, the best we can do is see that they were there on 2022-08-01


and according to niski, of the TMW discord server, they were already gone on 2022-11-27


and today, 2022-11-30, they are still missing


It's likely they were removed at the same time as everything else was, on 2022-11-22, and no one noticed.

If someone here could prove they were there any time after 2022-08-01, that would be very helpful.

One more thing...
The link of boardsofcanada.com site was removed from their youtube channel and the bleep.com link doesn't open to the right page.

I just noticed boardsofcanada.com, which redirects to https://warp.net/us/artists/91407-boards-of-canada, shows Geogaddi coming out in 2007, after Trans Canada Highway.... WTF?

Warp released Geogaddi digitally in 2007 according to discogs, probably just oversight.

Probably their new website automatically fetches metadata from some specific database sources. And that 2007 entry will be the most current. I don't think there's much manual labor involved anymore in those artist pages.

The logical thing would be 25th of MHRtC, with some backlash interview of their past albums. But we know that life is not logical, even if you want to. It is unpredictable. And you don’t know what is coming tomorrow. You should not know.
