Boards of Canada

[mcbpete]

Bit of a necro, but BoC put out a 2 hour mix a couple of weekends ago that definitely reminds me of the Electric Brain Storm mixes (need some new ones please boys!) featuring of all kinds of psychy-industially-folky-ambienty-misc stuff that I've never heard of before. Alas it doesn't have the lovely mixing skillz of the EBS sets but it's definitely worth a listen for fans of those sets all the same:

[Rob]

Listened to this mix and liked it a lot! /// waiting for EBS doc. 12

[mcbpete]

The highlight for me is the unfortunately unnamed- 52. ? (piano, synth) (1:33:52)
Lovely bit of 70s/80s analogue ambience....

[Tito Lozano]

Thanks Pete!

[Dennis]

Thanks för posting!

Is there a new album in the works maybe btw. ?

[tryptych]

Thanks, a lot of interesting stuff here, will listen tonight!

[Caged Element]

The thing is, the whole otherworldly melodies and nostalgic sound is exactly what I look for in music, and I don't get it at all from BoC, honestly never understood why people get this childhood thing from them.

I think you have to be a 70's child to really understand why they're so nostalgic sounding.

[darktrain]

10 years now since i posted about tomorrows harvest coming out and nothing since(apart from some remixes)

i do hope they are both ok and happy in their lives

we've had some brilliant music from them even if they're not the most prolific!

[MoritzMB]

BoC recently posted some news, but after everyone got excited about new material, it was anniversary stuff.

I think you have to be a 70's child to really understand why they're so nostalgic sounding.

Nah, was born later and still get the nostalgia vibe.

[MoritzMB]

So that new track... love it.

And in the meanwhile, Pentagrams of Discordia are also releasing something cryptic, which just feeds into my conspiracy theory that they are the same people.

[mcbpete]

Yeah it's a really nice preview - hopefully they've not done like last time and led with [in my opinion] the best track on the album:
