[Fredd-E]

I thought BoC was dead?

I thought BoC was dead?

Exactly, hence their Easter resurrection.

[hexagon]

This is all very promising, hello again everyone.

Beautiful sync up with three world events.
The video teases religious iconography and resurrection, on the last day of the Easter holidays, a parallel with Jesus Christ rising again, just like Boards of Canada making a comeback. This was also the date of Pioneer 11's launch 53 years ago, and with the space theme, Artemis II's Moon Loop project has officially taken humans the furthest they've ever gone into space, on the date of people receiving these VHS's.

Wonderful work fellas.

Something with the "call now" at the end and what appears to be an RTL/SDR signal?

[Davism]

I think some of our users owe Fred an apology.

The ripped video/imagery is so evocative. I'm slightly hesitant until we get an official announcement, but I want to believe this is happening.

Hey its a week or so to Record Store Day, isn't it. I don't usually bother with it but I think I might this year

That’s where I’m at too

Does anyone know what part of the audio the numbers/letters that look like "P 1 3 2" appear at?

I've seen screenshots, but no time stamps.

Which would be peculiar since the ARG thing is something quite unusual in their long career. I was expecting a more straightforward announcement for LP5 but I guess I was wrong. Excited to see where this is going, I just hope it doesn't go on for too long.

Could it be a tour announcement?
Bocset?
30yrs since first release (hi scores).
40yrs since formation (86)

This guy is interesting:

"That looks like a stylized version of the Chi Rho (☧) symbol.

It’s an early Christian symbol made from the first two letters of “Christ” in Greek:

Chi (X)
Rho (P)

Often you’ll also see it combined with Alpha (Α) and Omega (Ω) (the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet), representing “the beginning and the end.”

This symbol dates back to the time of the Roman Empire and is strongly associated with Emperor Constantine, who reportedly used it on military standards after converting to Christianity."

"One: Reach out with the mind.
Two: Separate from the body.
Three: Arise with the intellect.
Four: Step beyond the cosmic threshold.
Five: Witness the light.
Six: Ascend into the light.
Seven: Absorb the light.
Eight: Become the light.
Nine: Surrender to the light.
Ten: Transcend the light.
Eleven: Experience the ultimate existence.
Twelve: Become one with the universe.
Through insight, devotion, and belief, the voice continues to guide your path.
The guide is the light that calls us.
All for one. One for all.
From the first light to the last word, the message is clear:
Trust, Devotion, Revelation, and Inclusion.
Experience the light that binds us all together.
Join us now. Join us now."

I missed something, but where does this come from?

I think it would be odd if they do another ARG like they did for Tomorrow's Harvest. The VHS stuff might be more like a teaser than anything else. The RSD stuff in 2013 was very digestible. We had at least a few records and codes within the first like 48 hours. Not seeing that with these VHS tapes. But I won't stop anyone from looking too deep into spectrograms or shortwave radio codes or whatever :)

[Ottomatik]

I've started monitoring nobody-home.com
I strongly believe this website will host interesting stuff at some point, just like cosecha-transmisiones did
The whois updates dates for both sites match as they were both renewed in March 2025, which is when the Instagram likes started...

Yeah. RSD is next week too.

I can hear "Jesus Christ" at 1:18 in the video:

Looks like SSTV as someone else had said, but no luck decoding it so far. It can't be a huge amount of data.

[Davism]

I hear it too.
