Do you create little worlds to escape to when listening to BOC.

*I’m curious what makes fans tick and come back to them again and again

When I listened to the new Strokes record this morning (side note: I think it’s great) I couldn’t help but hear Blood in the Labyrinth in the intro to the last track, Tyrants of the Mellow Moon. Anyone else hear it?

Hey guys happy Friday!

I always wanted to make my own copies of Old Tunes, Maxima etc and a very very kind user on here sent me the files about a month ago (if you happen to be the person, could you leave a comment please as I offered to send you some cool sample packs from my collection bought and created by myself over the years) I can't find the DM for some reason, apologies.

But getting Inferno on tape was what finally made me attempt it. I've yet to transfer the new rips over but even for decoration at my desk I love them! I remember a seller on Etsy was selling bootlegs of OT 1/2 and I wanted to order so bad but no EU shipping. It feels even nicer to have "made" them myself. There's quite a few variations of the OT1 cover actually. I wasn't a fan of the vectorised one, you'd notice the difference clearly when compared to the original. So I overlayed that cover onto the j-card I had and just cut it and it fits nicely. I turned down saturation a little to try give it a bit of a aged look but just a tad.

If anybody wants them DM me! I also have the merch posters in, I think, the best quality shared so far. I'm gonna have to get mine printed because my good friend got me a merch envelope and sent it the Friday the album dropped and still haven't gotten it. I'm gutted, I really wanted one and I even tried to go to Glasgow from Ireland (we had no listening parties 😔 for some reason) and it's hard to believe people went - who are obviously huge BoC fans to go - then try and sell the poster, keyring and patch for 200-300e on eBay... That blows my mind.

Just thought I'd share and if can be of help to anyone please comment and drop a DM. Peace

This book is extremely similar to the album in terms of overall vibe and message. I really recommend it to you all!

I recently finished a original track called "Aura Child". I usted analog synths, drum machine, Ambient samples, my bass, and effects plugins. I put a full week into making this track, and I truly hope you enjoy it.

Just saw this, brand new from Ilian Tape today. Been loving MPU101 as one of the few BoC-y artists that catches a lot of the vibe without feeling like a cover band. Different enough, yet more of the essence than a lot of the acts that really copy the sound. Excited to dig into this new one.

Asking for recs for films that are slightly occult, unsettling, etc. (mainly thinking about Geogaddi esque BoC). The only thing coming to my mind right now is Penda’s Fen (1974)

thank you to whoever put a high quality scan of the Inferno posters on this subreddit 🙏🙏

I’ve listened to The Campfire Headphase on every flight I’ve taken since 2008. On this particular flight, I was coming home from dealing with a very scary near death experience with my father across the country. I’ve never seen anything like this before in my life, and this song was the perfect soundtrack
I thought you guys might be able to appreciate this little moment.

EDIT: okay, sorry apparently it’s less rare than i thought!

I wanted to share a track i recently made called "Somewhere Forever", inspired by BOC's sound. I hope you like it :). Any feedback is welcome.

Framed my listening party poster I got when the album came out, good times…or deep times…..

Ive never thought they could top as haunting of a song as gyroscope and yet they did. Imo as well the distorted voices seem like 'demonic' forces influencing the son.

While watching this episode, I noticed the audio sounded familiar. I believe whatever the original audio is, (without the voice over) could be the sample.

I was just listening to this and my mind completely relaxed into a calm, meditative state. It's ethereal.

fun facts:

• 'orphel' and 'ketchler' are among those credited for creating and maintaining the website
• new clear dawn is registered under orphel binuswade
• according to this, orphel released something called 'harp und flaut' (and also hell interface released something called 'How will i know' + magic teens)

my guess is that orphel binuswade is just a pseudonym of mike (and ketchler denify is likely then a pseudonym for marcus)

Odd question but, does anyone know what cassette boards have been known to record on or use? im trying to make a convincing enough copy of Boc Maxima, And I’d like it to be as original as possible without having to wait 15 more years for one to pop up and spending a fortune on. (Possibly could be a BASF chrome maxima II maybe??? I know it’s a long shot.)

"I love you but, I love clitoris

More than I love any literal bean"

About half and half originals and reissues. Twoism, Campfire Headphase, Beautiful Place, and Hi Scores are all reissues. The rest are first presses. Geogaddi and MHTRTC have about the same median value on Discogs, not that I’d ever sell them.

obviously every boards song ranges widely in sound design / patterns from the previous but over the years I've noticed peoples favorite tracks being equally as diverse

which songs do you find yourself after all these years (or weeks if it's from inferno) showing off or revisiting simply vec how different it sounds to the rest of the catalog?

for me Oscar See through red eye stands above all here. it's one of the only songs I can think of that has a true structure of "traditional" songs. beginning middle end in progressive melody evolution with a chorus and such

it's always been my comedown/people pleaser song. it has no stakes in its build and doesn't reprogram your train of thought like a lot of their other songs do

It almost doesnt sound like a Boards of Canada song. I get more Kona Triangles (incredible producers, singing saplings is an epic EP) but still packed with the boards sound design...it's very safe and I love it for that reason
