Inferno CD in a charity shop

To my surprise today while wearing my listening party Boards of Canada, I saw by chance the Inferno CD in a charity shop for £9.99 without the booklet.

This surprised as it only 3 months since it was released and if it's missing the booklet then surely should be sold at a much lower price 🤣

Board-OM: The Music of BoC imagined in new durations

Our podcast has collaborated with Open Music (Pennsylvania) to produce a live musical event in Central Pennsylvania that combines electronic instrumentation with an acoustic ensemble. We'll cover many tracks, old and new, by Boards of Canada and other electronic artists of Warp-ish style and influence, in slower arrangements. Consider it a celebration of the bedroom affect and the deep languor of everyday boredom as it collides with nostalgia (hence Board-OM!).

Not sure if anyone remembers, but I'm the one who put together the "corduroy psychedelia" piece. We're manifesting that thesis musically at this late-summer, outdoor event, and I hope some of you can make it! The event is completely free, though you're welcome to drop off a donation if you'd like.

I rarely let myself listen to these songs

These 4 songs are my favourite BOC songs, and maybe some of my favourite songs of all time.

But I strictly limit myself to listening to them only once every 4-5, even 6 months.

I do this because they carry ALOT of memories from my time back in home country when these were the only songs I had on repeat before I left. So every time I play these songs many memories from my last few months come rushing back and it’s always an amazing experience.

I limited myself, obviously because I didn’t want that feeling to go away.

I really really wish I could listen to them on repeat right now cus of how much I love them, but I don’t.

Best BoC album for vinyl?

Hi sub, I recently acquired a record player and obviously want to break it in with some BoC. I’ve never had a listening experience on vinyl. Apparently NONE of the record stores in my area have a single album, so online it is I guess. I’ll have to build the library slowly (you know, stupid money and all) so it will just be one at a time. I’m wondering what input you all have when it comes to the best BoC album for vinyl listening? Is there one where it makes a night and day difference? Or should I just go for one of my faves? If the latter, then it will probably be Geogaddi or Inferno first. Can’t wait to hear everyone’s thoughts, and TIA.

Do you think BOC will release another mainline album?

Now that Inferno has come and gone, what do you guys about the likelihood of them doing another full length?

In a perfect world, I think that they should release at least one more main album, to complete the Hexagon (6 sides, 6 main albums). Then, as a farewell gift before they retire they could finish the Bocset and release all of the old material.

However, Inferno is pretty great and I would be happy with it being their last album. It does somewhat have a sense of finality to it.

I'm also surprised they chose not to do an interview this time around, given how long they were away.

Anywho, what do you guys think?

it's heavily skewed late 90s-early 2ks, but that's monoculture for ya. Solid choices and decision points.

Making BoC single covers using my own photography - Post #11: Blood in the Labyrinth

My favorite track off of Inferno! This photo was taken at the amazing Huntington Gardens in Pasadena. The original photo was edited tilt-shift style for the cool perspective. Obviously kept it the same on the edit and feel like this worked well for this track.

Similar to BOC in a way (Little People - We are but hunks of wood)

I would like to share this album with you guys, it's somehow different from BOC as there are more classical instruments combine with electronic sound. The whole album is worth to listen, production is so well done and the feelings radiating from the melodies are to my mind close to what i can feel listening to BOC. I hope you enjoy if you don't know it already :)

Boc collage

Was inspired by someone on this sub to make a boc themed collage for my room and they told me to post it here whenever I finished making it. I’ll put the original post down below so you can see theirs as well because it’s really cool. Whoever posted their boc themed collage first thanks for the inspiration!

Original post

(Also I know it’s not the best quality. I wish I could get a clearer photo but sadly my phone camera is broken so this is the best I could do lol)
