== Official Releases ==

== Rare/Early Releases ==
=== The Difference ===
[[Boards of Canada]]'s discography essentially falls in two camps.
*The well-known releases that followed after the duo were signed, first to [[SKAM]] and then to [[Warp Records]], which can be purchased in any decent record shop.
*The releases which precede this, of which original copies are exceptionally rare. Much of the knowledge we have of the latter is due to [[The Cosmic Crofter]]'s webpage, which is now defunct.
**The exceptions: copies of [[Boc Maxima (release)|Boc Maxima]] and the "Old Tunes" tapes which are almost certainly legitimate are readily available on the p2p networks.
** These older items are '''NOT AVAILABLE'''; only friends and family of BoC have heard them.
*** In addition, three extracts of genuine old tracks came from a BoC-related website that no longer exists. They are: "[[Duffy]]" (0:24), "[[Wouldn't You Like To Be Free]]" (0:56), and "[[Circle]]" (0:35). "Duffy" is a gentle and innocent track, similar in theme to "[[Melissa Juice]]"; "Wouldn't You Like To Be Free" features massed guitars; "Circle" features slowly-changing high-pitched glacial tones, fitting the Alaskan theme of the album it comes from.

=== Web Loops ===
A number of short snippets of music were featured as loops on [[Boards of Canada]]'s old website, which was taken down in 2000. These loops ranged from 5 to 84 seconds in length. Many of these loops are extracts from known longer tracks, including some tracks from ''[[Geogaddi]]'', which was not released at the time, as well as much older tracks, such as "[[Circle]]" from [[Boards of Canada]]'s unheard 1994 album ''[[Hooper Bay]]''. Some of these loops contain completely unreleased music not available anywhere else, and these are presumed to also be taken from longer complete tracks. A 15 minute video containing all of the web loops on was uploaded to YouTube on August 1st 2011.

== Fakes ==
''Main page: [[Fakes,_Bootlegs,_and_Bad_Tags|Fakes, Bootlegs, and Bad Tags]]''

Fake tracks purported to be by [[Boards of Canada]] have been prevalent in online spaces related to the band since the early 2000s. Initially most of these fake tracks were simply mislabelled tracks by other artists such as [[Wikipedia:Múm|Múm]], but in more recent years there has been an increasing prevalence of intentionally-made fake [[Boards of Canada]] tracks. The quality of these tracks and their similarity to authentic [[Boards of Canada]] varies widely, with many more recent fakes becoming ever more sophisticated in their approach.

Fakes have been labelled in a variety of ways; some use the titles of known early [[Boards of Canada]] tracks that are publicly unheard, others use made-up 'BoC-esque' titles, and others are presented as having unknown titles, the latter often as compilations similar to the authentic [[Random 35 Tracks Tape]]. As a general rule, any purported [[Boards of Canada]] track claimed to be from the unheard pre-1995 releases (see above) is most likely fake, as is any track not included on any of the releases listed on this page.

=== Web Loops ===
A number of short snippets of music were featured as loops on [[Boards of Canada]]'s old website, which was taken down in 2000. These loops ranged from 5 to 84 seconds in length. Many of these loops are extracts from known longer tracks, including some tracks from ''[[Geogaddi]]'', which was not released at the time, as well as much older tracks, such as "[[Circle]]" from [[Boards of Canada]]'s unheard 1994 album ''[[Hooper Bay]]''. Some of these loops contain completely unreleased music not available anywhere else, and these are presumed to also be taken from longer complete tracks. A 15 minute video containing all of the web loops on was uploaded to YouTube on August 1st 2011.

== Fakes ==
''Main page: [[Fakes,_Bootlegs,_and_Bad_Tags|Fakes, Bootlegs, and Bad Tags]]''

Fake tracks purported to be by [[Boards of Canada]] have been prevalent in online spaces related to the band since the early 2000s. Initially most of these fake tracks were simply mislabelled tracks by other artists such as [[Wikipedia:Múm|Múm]], but in more recent years there has been an increasing prevalence of intentionally-made fake [[Boards of Canada]] tracks. The quality of these tracks and their similarity to authentic [[Boards of Canada]] varies widely, with many more recent fakes becoming ever more sophisticated in their approach.

Fakes have been labelled in a variety of ways; some use the titles of known early [[Boards of Canada]] tracks that are publicly unheard, others use made-up 'BoC-esque' titles, and others are presented as having unknown titles, the latter often as compilations similar to the authentic [[Random 35 Tracks Tape]]. As a general rule, any purported [[Boards of Canada]] track claimed to be from the unheard pre-1995 releases (see above) is most likely fake, as is any track not included on any of the releases listed on this page.

Fredd-E: more prominent join link

[[The Magic Window]] is a [[wikipedia:Discord|Discord]] server centred around [[Boards of Canada]]. As of mid June 2026, it has 1447 members making it one of the largest existing [[Communities|BoC communities]] online hosted on [[wikipedia:Discord|Discord]].

<div align="center" style="font-size: 200%;">
👉 '''[https://bocpages.org/the-magic-window-discord Join here!]'''
</div>

__TOC__

== History ==
===First Iteration===
[[The Magic Window]] was created on 22 May 2019 by user ax. A short time after, ownership was transferred to Milesium-487 who would remain the server's most prominent and longest owner. Later that same year, the server's current icon was created by server member & administrator [[User:Phin|phin]].

The server experienced its first substantial growth in membership between 2020 and 2021, reaching over 400 members in its peak. This growth culminated in the 28 September 2021 incidents in which then-owner Milesium's account was hacked and the server was hijacked to promote scams. The old server has been archived in its entirety, but is private.

===Second Server===
The second server launched on 28 September 2021, after the incident that took place earlier in the day, courtesy of TheStatPow, Sixtynoner, and Puritycontrol (Purity for short). Since then, [https://bocpages.org/the-magic-window-discord the server] has become a wonderful community in a beautiful place out on the interwebs, greatly contributing to [[BOC]] lore, becoming a hub for discussion and debate, as well as a nest for up and coming producers who honour [[BOC]]'s art and ethos via their own interpretations.

On 2 December 2022, Milesium resigned from his position as server owner. The server is now owned by the user [[User:1(90).png|1(90).png]].

==Culture==
The server has a colorful mix of attitudes, running gags, and layered references and jokes to past events that can in some moments come off as crude or blunt. [[Beware The Friendly Stranger|Beware the friendly strangers]] ;) but [[WARP|we are reasonable people]]. There are multiple channels dedicated to various subjects where users from the community generate content for the community. Listed below are main channels to get yourself familiar with.

===General===
The main hub where users interact about anything not tied exclusively to [[Boards of Canada]]. Users here can freely discuss whatever as long as they abide by the rules. Along with #BOC-Discussion, this is one of the most active channels on the server, serving as the stage for shitposts, discussion, and contributions.

Users who go above and beyond to the wellbeing and culture of the server are awarded the '''Kanai Industries Approved''' role, and depending on the importance of their contribution, may even receive an honorary exclusive role for their efforts.

===BOC Discussion===
An incredible amount of contributions from community-lead investigations have unearthed a plethora of lore, [[List_of_samples_used_by_Boards_of_Canada|samples]], sound design techniques, and much much more, from references upon references about [[BoC|the band]] and the things they express in their music, to [[List_of_samples_used_by_Boards_of_Canada|samples]] once widely considered unknown in origin. This channel is also the stage for debates, reflection on the current state of things, and revision on the authenticity of new findings.

A few notable examples are users Sixty and Purity's discovery of the source of the infamous sample "[[1969#Samples_.2F_Lyrics|Although not a follower of David Koresh, she's a devoted Branch Davidian]]" as well as "[[In_a_Beautiful_Place_out_in_the_Country_(song)#Samples_.2F_Lyrics|come out and live with a religious community in a beautiful place out in the country]]" from the Mysteries, Magic & Miracles documentary series<ref>{{#widget:YouTube|id= u6gCmQ1dxek | start=949 |height=262| width=465}}</ref>, as well as Mansin's otherworldy recreation of "[[Echus]]"<ref>{{#widget:YouTube|id= 8WCIVoXy34o| start=0 |height=262| width=465}}</ref>, to name a few. This channel also played host to the unearthing of the [[Old_Tunes_saga#Some_Old_Tunes_.281985-1996.29|Magnificent 11]] and the [[Old_Tunes_saga#New_Tape_Rips|lossless cassette rips]] of ''[[AFOT]]'', ''[[OTV2]]'' and ''[[Boc Maxima]]''.

Users who demonstrate a profound expertise in [[BOC]] lore are awarded the '''Serbian Man Vol.1''' role.

===Music===
If you're ever stumped or bored and want to hear something new, this section is the place for you. This section is replenished daily with users' favorite tracks and chunes from a multitude of places all over the net. Feel free to drop what you're listening to!

===Share Your Music===
[[The Magic Window]] was blessed with a constant stream of dedicated users who produce music on their own free time, experimenting in the solitude of their rooms exploring the sound that inspires them on such a profound level. In several occasions, the server unites to hear compilations made to showcase that music. These listening parties are hosted on the Voice Chat and have been known to last several days 24/7. The most prominent event is Magickfest, an online festival hosted by admin Sdoww and user Niski where users submit mixtapes or livesets to perform their art for us to enjoy. Despite [[user:1(90).png|1(90).png]] being behind schedule, compilations after the event are created for users to revisit at their leisure. A sample of the creative prowess this server possesses can be found [https://soundcloud.com/micuseoinsandison here on soundcloud].

Users who contribute with their music are awarded the '''Music Makers''' role, with a selected few being awarded the '''BOCC Remaker Extraordinare''' role when being able to reproduce faithfully [[BOC]]'s sound and provide technical input on the synthesis behind it.

===Art/Media/Advertisement===
This page tends to be filled with snippets of projects users are currently working on, from photographs that pay homage to the [[BOC]] aesthetic, a rare piece of media someone might consider special or promo their creative efforts in the IRL.

Users who contribute with their art, specifically photography or drawings, are awarded the '''Acid Memories''' role.

===Memes/6 Hour Cooldown===
A hellhole of the finest shitposts on the net. Bomicus.

===Reddit===
This channel serves as a probe into the [https://reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada Boards Of Canada subreddit], where users can discuss current happenings on the subreddit and express opinions that might not align with Subreddit rules/moderation.

This channel was also the birthplace of the now defunct '''Addison''' role, for leading reddit on a wild goose chase.

===Food===
I'm hungry, what about you?

== Trivia==
* Birthplace of the Micus meme, based on a misspelling/bastardisation of the word [[Marcus]].
* [[user:Fredd-E|Fredd-E]] and [[Techboy|Mark]] of [https://bocpages.org bocpages.org] and [https://rareboc.org rareboc.org] respectively, hold special exclusive roles in honour of their efforts to the [[BOC]] community in general.
* Widely considered the most active [[BOC]] hub on the net, rivalled only by [https://reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada BOC Reddit].
* Hexabot helps with user experience and automatic moderation. Orange!
* [[The Magic Window|TMW]] is often considered the most loosely moderated [[BOC]]-themed community, where even the moderation team participates in the jokes and gags. Its sister server, [http://bocpages.org/happy-cyclist-association-discord the Happy Cyclist Association (HCA)], is considered for more serious, less playful conversation about [[BOC]] subjects despite being owned and heavily populated by [[The Magic Window|TMW]] members.
* In the waning years of the COVID pandemic, [[The Magic Window|TMW]] music makers contributed to the creation of the Musik Mixtape, where user Cosecha eventually had them made into physical cassettes and was shared via mail across the world to participants and enthusiasts. Users who participated in these events were given the '''A04''' role. This event is the precursor to Magickfest.
* Given the amount of traffic and discussion, a bocpages forum fork was created to collaborate with discoveries and discussion. A Magic Forum was also created for #Art as to not loose a given subject to the ever flowing stream of messages in the channel.

Column 'days between' is notable: it shows the waiting time in between posts. For instance we had to wait 746 days for the "[[Twoism_(song)|Twoism]]" video upload on Instagram (2023), the previous one was "[[Come To Dust]]" on Twitter (2021). It's improving in 2024.

"'''Telephasic Workshop'''" is the fourth track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s debut studio album, ''[[Music Has the Right to Children]]''. It was also released as a [[Telephasic Workshop (release)|promotional single]], backed with "[[Roygbiv]]".

** As Ken suggests, the "radio-" part of "radiophonic" becomes "tele-" (from "television", as opposed to radio; also sounds like "telly"); while "-phonic" becomes "-phasic". In greek, "tele" means "from afar", "at a distance", and "phonic" means "relating to, or having the nature of sound, especially speech sounds" (Greek "φωνη", meaning "sound", properly, "sound of the voice"), while "phasic" means "relating to the production of speech" (from Greek verb φημι, "to speak"). So "telephasic" is "speaking at a distance", but the word is also a kind of analogue, in its construction, to the word "radiophonic" (→"telly-phasic").

The real typeface you want is [http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/itc/avant-garde-gothic/avant-garde-medium-bold/specs.html ITC Avant Garde Bold]. You'll need to kern it closely. Avant Garde Bold is a classic design typeface, one you'll see crop up over and over if you develop an eye for it. It was particularly prevalent in the mid to late 1970's, an era which [[Boards of Canada]] has referenced over and over in its design language, and recently got a large boost in popularity when the Rock Band series of video games started using it heavily. The [http://fontfeed.com/archives/avant-garde-gothic-alternates-are-back/ Avant Garde Alternate glyphs] show up a lot, too, though they tend to be abused a bit - I haven't seen [[Boards of Canada]] use them. Avant Garde shows up a lot in designs of related genres and record labels because it is such an iconic, no-nonsense typeface without a lot of the humanism that Helvetica brings to the table.

[[Inferno]] is the fifth studio album by [[Boards of Canada]], released on May 29th, 2026, via [[Warp Records]]. It comes thirteen years after their previous album, ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]'', the band's longest gap between albums to date. Departing from the cold, desolate, and apocalyptic nature of its predecessor, Inferno marks a return to the warmth of the duo's earlier works and arguably the ''[[Old Tunes saga]]'', mixing the occult ridden cryptic darkness of ''[[Geogaddi]]'', the warmth and nostalgia of ''[[Music Has The Right To Children]]'', and the organic guitar instrumentation of ''[[The Campfire Headphase]]''. Inferno is without a doubt [[Boards of Canada]]'s darkest album since ''[[Geogaddi]]''. Its themes reference death, rebirth, religion, magic, science, and many more.

Speculation for the album's release preceded its official announcement by over a decade, with the band and its associates sparsely giving out new information. Activity notably increased in 2025, including the band's Instagram account [[Road_to_Inferno#Instagram_Likes|liking comments related to a new album]], a ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]''-era [[Cosecha-transmisiones.com|website]] [[Road_to_Inferno#Cosecha_Transmisiones|coming online once again]], and [[Road_to_Inferno#New_Merchandise|new merchandise being put on sale]]. For a more detailed look on the band's activities during this period, see the article [[Road to Inferno]].

About a week after, posters with imagery reminiscent of the band started appearing in multiple places around the UK and US. For an in-depth look at the days preceding the album's announcement, see the article [[2026 Promo Campaign]].

== Title and Themes ==

As a word, ''Inferno'' references hell and places reminiscent of it. It is the most explicit reference to religion and the occult since their 2002 album ''[[Geogaddi]]'' and 2000 EP ''[[In a Beautiful Place out in the Country (release)|In a Beautiful Place out in the Country]]''. The album's titles also heavily refer to concepts in cosmology and physics.

* An "[[Introit]]" is a song or psalm that is sung or recited at the beginning of a Christian mass.
* "[[Father And Son]]" could reference the Holy Trinity, which consists of the two and The Holy Spirit.
* "[[The Word Becomes Flesh]]" is a quotation from [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%201:14&version=NIV verse 1:14] of the Gospel of John.
* "[[Naraka]]" references the realm of hell seen in Indian religions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism.
* "[[The Process]]" could refer to the Process Church of the Final Judgement, a new religious movement which briefly existed in the 1960s and 70s. ''The Process'' was the title of their magazine.
* "[[Prophecy At 1420 MHz]]" references the hydrogen line, a specific wavelength of radiation emitted by hydrogen as it undergoes a quantum transition. It has been used to investigate the properties of the universe, and search for extraterrestrial life.
* "[[Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan]]" refers to the first three elements of the periodic table and the mythical sea creature.
* "[[Age Of Capricorn]]" refers to the tenth sign of the astrological zodiac, and is the astrological age that follows the Age of Aquarius. The symbol of capricorn is the goat, which is symbolic in christian and pre-christian beliefs.
* "[[I Saw Through Platonia]]" could refer to a concept by Julian Barbour of a realm called Platonia, which contains every possible configuration of the universe.

== Trivia ==

* ''[[Inferno]]'' has been assigned the catalog number [https://warp.net/releases/590960-inferno/tracklist WARP496]. This seems to be a deliberate request from the band themselves, as preceding [[Warp]] releases such as Squarepusher's [https://warp.net/releases/576448-kammerkonzert/ Kammerkonzert] and Oneohtrix Point Never's [https://warp.net/releases/552598-tranquilizer/ Tranquilizer] have catalog numbers of 417 and 411, respectively.
** 496 is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_number perfect number] and a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_number hexagonal number].
** 496 also holds significance in gematria (Jewish numerology). Representing Kingdom (Malkhut / מלכות). It should be further noted that 496 is the 31st Triangle number, which holds further significance as 31 is the gematria of the word God (El / אֵל).
* Inferno's runtime is exactly 70 minutes. This seems to be deliberate, as 70 is a reoccurring number in the duo's work (e.g. [[Music70]], "[[Sixtyten]]", "[[The Smallest Weird Number]]").
** The album's final track, "[[I Saw Through Platonia]]", ends with 9 seconds of silence, bringing up the runtime to exactly 70 minutes. The duo has done this in the past with ''[[Geogaddi]]'', where the fully silent "[[Magic Window]]" brings up the album's runtime to 66:06.<ref>[https://bocpages.org/wiki/Stirred_Up_The_Ashes "Stirred Up The Ashes"], Heiko Hoffmann, Earplug, 2005</ref>
* On May 27th, 2026, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House White House] posted a promotional video for the Trump administration that featured an audio excerpt from [[Tape 05]]/[[Deep Time]] with a familiar degraded VHS tape aesthetic. They received heavy criticism from fans, with [[Warp Records|Warp]] and [[Boards of Canada|BoC]] condemning the "unauthorised use of their music for political messaging."<ref>[https://ra.co/news/85287 "The White House uses new Boards of Canada track for promo video"], Michael Lawson, Resident Advisor, 2026</ref>
* The font used in the front cover of the album resembles the one used in the title frame of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Tarkovsky?wprov=sfla1 Andrei Tarkovsky]’s 1979 film [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalker_%281979_film%29?wprov=sfla1 ''Stalker''] both in color and design. The main plot of the film revolves around a pilgrimage of a kind walked by the trio of the Stalker, the Writer and the Professor. In the film, the Stalker (who guides tourists through the Zone, which he believes possesses the magical properties of wondermaking and wish fulfilment) plays a role of a mentor and/or a chaperon for the Writer (who has lost any motivation to live and work and who genuinely doesn't believe in the miraculous properties of the Zone yet wants to try making a wish there) and for the Scientist (who believes that the Zone is dangerous and wants to destroy it). The film itself is based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkady_and_Boris_Strugatsky?wprov=sfla1 Brothers Strugatskys’] book [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadside_Picnic?wprov=sfla1 ''The Roadside Picnic'']. Both the book and the film take place in a post-apocalyptic world, which might be a reference to the previous Boards of Canada album [[Tomorrow's Harvest]]. Furthermore, alike to an album, both the book and the film touch upon the topic of miracles and magic that cannot be fully explained by a conventional scientific knowledge.
* In the liner notes for ''[[Inferno]]'' [[Mike Sandison]] is credited with "audio evocations", although it is currently unknown what it exactly means, the word evocation is often associated with a western tradition which involves magic and the summoning of spirits, demons, deities, or other supernatural agents.

== Artwork Sources and Locations ==
* The Artwork inside the liner notes for ''[[Inferno]]'' consists of images likely from the 1970s to 1980s (sometimes with second images overlaid onto them) made to look extremely deteriorated and in very poor condition with scratches, warping, discolouration, and reddish stains in a similar way to the cover art for ''[[Inferno]]'', some of the sources for the images have been found, while the places inside the images have been located,
* One of the images is a heavily distorted still from a 1971 Educational film called "[https://youtu.be/-eZiuQbInbs?si=UNznGsr8WxKg4LTt&t=178/ Wondering About Things]".
* An image in the artwork featuring a modernist style church with a hexagon pattern overlaid behind it is a highly edited version of a [https://www.ebay.com/itm/175347279305/ 1970s post card of the St Timothy’s Memorial Chapel], located near the ghost town of Southern Cross in Montana.
* An image in the artwork appears to show what appears to be a brutalist style wall inside a prairie, this wall turns out to be a side of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_War_Museum/ Canadian War Museum] located in Ottawa, Ontario, although the museum isn’t actually in a prairie like in the image.
* One of the images shows a Rocket-like brutalist structure looming over a landscape, the structure in the image is the 300 Aragvians memorial in Zhinvali, Georgia during the Soviet-era, it was built to honor the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Hundred_Aragvians/ 300 Highlanders] from the Aragvi Valley who died defending Tbilisi during The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Krtsanisi/ Battle of Krtsanisi], the structure seems to be edited into a prairie in a similar style to a few other images.
* One of the images features a giant structure looming over a crowd of people wearing straw hats, the structure in the image is the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenstein_Library/ Joseph Regenstein library] on the main campus of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Chicago/ University of Chicago] located in Illinois.

* The ending of this remix, consisting of a musical climax followed by a single sustained piano chord, is almost certainly a homage to the ending of [[wikipedia:The_Beatles|The Beatles]]' 1967 song "[[wikipedia:A_Day_in_the_Life|A Day in the Life]]".<ref>{{#widget:YouTube|id= UYeV7jLBXvA |start= 255}}</ref> [[Boards of Canada]] have expressed interest in [[wikipedia:The Beatles|the Beatles]] in interviews, specifically mentioning their work from 1967 in [[Two Aesthetes of Electronic Music]].

'''Lyrics'''
<blockquote>From the height of the highway onramp we saw, 
two dogs, a-dead in a field, 
Glowing on the Oakland colliseum green seats wasteland, 
Dogs, dogs we thought were dead, 
They rose up, rose up when whistled at, 
Their rib cages inflating like 
men on the beach being photographed, 
 
A guard dog, guard dog, for what? for what? 
Against overzealous penniless athletic fanatics, 
Getting into games through a hole in the fence, 
For the owner of the blue tarp tent, 
Pitched by a creek beneath an onramp, 
 
In the privacy, of the last three, 
Skin and bony trees, devoid of leaves, 
And us undeceased, and with our new CDs, 
Zippin' on dead east, Oakland 
 
It's hard to stand the sight of two dogs dead 
under a sky so blue, 
You have to stop the blood to your head, 
to fit the breath in front of you, 
 
We secretly long to be some part of a car crash, 
Long to see your arms stripped to the tendons, 
The nudity of swelling exposed vein, 
webbing the back of your hand, 
To be a red tendoned dog, 
To be red tendoned dogs, 
Blood breathing by the side of the highway 
 
I long to be dead, 
center of a curious crowd, 
To be touched, 
sticky like nearly dried paint, 
Their soft silent stare, nursing your face, 
Anticipating the slightest pinch I flinch of pain, 
Everyone blank in accident awe, 
as the car crash fiberglass dust, 
straight up settles on your raw muscle tissue 
 
It's hard to stand the sight of two dogs dead 
under a sky so blue, 
You have to stop the blood to your head, 
to fit the breath in front of you, 
 
To be a red tendoned dog, 
To be red tendoned dogs, 
To be red tendoned dogs, 
To be red tendoned dogs, 
To be dead center of a curious crowd</blockquote>

}}
'''''Hi Scores''''' is an EP by [[Boards of Canada]], released in December of 1996 on CD and 12". It was [[Boards of Canada]]'s first widely available release, as 1995's ''[[Twoism (release)|Twoism]]'' would not become widely available until it was re-issued in 2002. ''Hi Scores'' was re-issued in 1999, and has subsequently had multiple further re-issues, including a full remaster in 2014.<ref> https://www.discogs.com/master/2004-Boards-Of-Canada-Hi-Scores </ref>

On September 23rd 2026 it was announced that '''''Hi Scores''''' would be re-issued once again that November.<ref> https://djmag.com/news/boards-of-canadas-hi-scores-reissued-vinyl-30th-anniversary </ref> Accompanying the announcement was a short trailer featuring a remixed version of the track "[[Everything You Do Is A Balloon]]".<ref> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suBARTPm1fk </ref>

The [[Hi Scores (song)|title track]] is the only track on the EP that is exclusive to it. "[[Turquoise Hexagon Sun]]", "[[Nlogax]]", "[[June 9th]]", and "[[Everything You Do Is A Balloon]]" all appear on ''[[Boc Maxima (release)|Boc Maxima]]'', released privately in 1996, while "[[Seeya Later]]" also appears on ''[[Twoism (release)|Twoism]]''. "[[Turquoise Hexagon Sun]]" would also later appear on ''[[Music Has The Right To Children]]''.

== Tracks ==
# "[[Hi Scores (song)|Hi Scores]]" – 4:57
# "[[Turquoise Hexagon Sun]]" – 5:09
# "[[Nlogax]]" – 6:54
# "[[June 9th]]" – 5:18
# "[[Seeya Later]]" – 4:12
# "[[Everything You Do Is A Balloon]]" – 7:04

== Hi Scores Trivia ==

* Hi Scores is mastered by Darrell Fitton, aka Bola.
* On the 2014 remaster and re-release, the left and right audio channels appeared to have been reversed. This was later elaborated upon and, due to an issue with the original transfer in 1996, it was the original release in which the left and right audio channels were truly reversed. When the original DAT tape masters were used for the 2014 remastering of the EP, the channels where subsequently restored back to their original form as originally intended.
* "[[Nlogax]]" contains a sample of Indeep's 1983 hit "Last Night a D.J. Saved My Life."
* It has been suggested that the "hi" of "Hi Scores" could refer to the initials of [[Boards of Canada|BoC]]'s alias [[Hell Interface]].
* The Braille on the label: Some have interpreted it as having typos. In fact, it is quite correct. If you read it using a simple alphabetic Braille chart, you get "bo?ds ? canada", where the "?" represent characters not found on the chart. Numbering the dots in column one from top down as 1,2,3, and column two as 4,5,6, the two odd characters are 3-4-5 and 1-2-3-5-6, and reference to a more complete [http://www.duxburysystems.com/braille.asp braille listing] reveals that the first of these symbols stands for the letter pair [ar], and the second represents the word [of], so the sticker does indeed read "boards of canada".

==Posters==
No official posters have ever been offered for sale; however, posters have been created for each new release, primarily for display in records stores and in street advertising in major cities. Each poster contains a larger version of the release's cover art.

A "very rare" metallic poster for ''[[Music Has the Right to Children]]'' was given away as a prize in the [[2002 WATMM video contest]]; no other copies of this item are known to exist.

A variety of promotional stickers have been created to promote each new album. These were normally thrown in with shipments ordered from Warp, especially pre-orders of [[Boards of Canada|BoC]] albums. As is the practice with [[Warp Records|Warp]] freebies, the distribution process is rather random, with some fans receiving multiple stickers per order while a few unlucky fans got none at all.

Random 35 Tracks Tape

2026-09-23T09:20:49Z

Fredd-E: /* Background */

{{Infobox Release|
| name=Random 35 Tracks Tape
| release_date=1995?
| format=Cassette
| label=(unknown)
| catno=N/A
| runtime=84:00
}}

[[Random 35 Tracks Tape]] refers to a collection of 35 tracks leaked on P2P networks in 2000 and 2001, with it reaching the majority of fans around September of 2004.
Unlike the "[[Old Tunes]]" tapes, the tracks are completely unlabeled; however, a few match known tracks from other sources, including commercial releases. No liner notes or tape scan have ever surfaced.

Despite its uncertain provenance, the tape is believed to be authentic.

==Background==
*[[Random 35 Tracks Tape]] is sourced from a cassette compiled by an unknown individual or individuals with access to rare material. These tracks were compiled from one or more CDrs produced by [[Boards of Canada]] and acquired by the compiler by some unknown means. The music itself is consistent with their mid-90s output (with some exceptions), likely representing a period prior to 1995/96. The widespread leaking of these tracks to P2P networks ([http://www.slsknet.org Soulseek], originally) provided much drama on [[WATMM]].
* During or around 2000, prior to any widely available leak, the cassette was ripped twice in a seemingly short time span, likely due to a perceived issue with the initial rip. These two rips were shared in trading circles via private servers during the period of 2000 through about 2004. The two rips were continuously degraded by the processes of file compression, poorly executed noise reduction, and disc rot (from many people ripping the album to and from CDr). Due to a lack of any information, there was considerable confusion and misidentification of several of the tracks.
* In 2004, various versions of these tracks became widely available via peer-to-peer networks. As this roughly coincided with the [[Old_Tunes_saga|leak of the old tunes tapes]], there was no general consensus on what exactly the Random 35 Tracks Tape was or if they represented genuine [[Boards of Canada]] material. As a result of the nature of early file sharing, the only available rips were heavily degraded, with a significant loss of fidelity across all versions.
* For a long time, it was assumed that this tape was the missing ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 1]]'' (since ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'' and ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 2]]'' were already known), although this was never confirmed. This was finally proven false when, on the 8th of August, 2009, the [[Twoism forum]] member, [[Dealer|dealer]], posted new photos of a cassette and liner notes showing that ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'' and ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 1]]'' were, in fact, the same release.
* On September 3rd, 2009, band associate [[MDG]] stated that it was not known who compiled the tracks.<ref>[[Statements_from_Hexagon_Sun#September_2009]]</ref>
<blockquote>
"I've seen comments a few times about a mystery "35 track" tape which itself is a mystery to us too, sorry" 
"No I'm not saying they're not BOC, but the compilation itself is a mystery, just a mixture."
</blockquote>
*In the 2020s, renewed interest and investigative effort on the part of several members of the [[Communities|community]], notably Niski, revealed several details about the compilation. Firstly, it was long believed the tape originated in 2004; however, it is now known that leaks of the tape were circulating as far back as 2000 and perhaps earlier. This period of activity revealed the existence of the second tape rip, the tape's compilation from BOC CDrs, numerous found samples, and various pieces of [[Equipment|gear]] used throughout the compilation. Specifically, the Ensoniq VFX keyboard (1989) was found, thanks to the efforts of OliveOil, to feature on at least 12 of the 35 tracks, with the Casio CZ-101 (1984) on at least 5. Garx and Personman, among others, have identified several drum shots used on many of the tracks. These ongoing discoveries continue to reveal a more concrete composition and timeline for the Random 35 Tracks Tape.
*In 2026, the two original lossless rips were made available online thanks to the combined efforts of Niski and [[Samamdj]].

== Discovery ==
These tracks appear to have first surfaced on [http://www.slsknet.org Soulseek] under various names, such as "random 35 tracks tape (rarities and the best of - not old tunes v1 or v2)" and "A Few Older Tunes Disc 1/Disc 2", reflecting the uncertainty of the collection's provenance. Early sightings include:
* 9 Sep 2004 - [http://community.livejournal.com/boardsofcanada/28808.html LiveJournal post]
* 3 Oct 2004 - [http://xltronic.com/mb/topic.php3?topic=65661 xltronic messageboard topic]
* 8 Oct 2004 - [http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/idm@hyperreal.org/42958.html idm-l post]

== Availability ==
* On 26 May 2026, two new lossless rips appeared on YouTube, courtesy of Niski and [[Samamdj]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnFKkqPctwU</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9hkUMVLYnI</ref>
** v1 ([https://archive.org/details/a-01_20260526_202605 lossless download]) is faster, bit quieter, ripped using a different deck, source for a rather obscure real audio leak from the early 00s that is audibly faster
** v2 ([https://archive.org/details/a-01_20260526/ lossless download]) is the source for nearly every other leak of [[R35TT]], but obviously lossless and without any post-processing like NR

== Leadup ==

''Main article: [[Road to Inferno]]''

Speculation for the album's release preceded its official announcement by over a decade, with the band and its associates sparsely giving out new information. Activity notably increased in 2025, including the band's Instagram account [[Road_to_Inferno#Instagram_Likes|liking comments related to a new album]], a ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]''-era [[Cosecha-transmisiones.com|website]] [[Road_to_Inferno#Cosecha_Transmisiones|coming online once again]], and [[Road_to_Inferno#New_Merchandise|new merchandise being put on sale]]. For a more detailed look on the band's activities during this period, see the article [[Road to Inferno]].

== Promotional Campaign ==
''Main article: [[2026 Promo Campaign]]''

In early April 2026, multiple fans received unmarked VHS tapes through the mail, with sender addresses related to [[Warp Records|Warp]] and their online storefront [[Bleep.com|Bleep]]. About a week after, posters with imagery reminiscent of the band started appearing in multiple places around the UK and US. For an in-depth look at the days preceding the album's announcement, see the article [[2026 Promo Campaign]].

== Title and Themes ==

As a word, ''Inferno'' references hell and places reminiscent of it. It is the most explicit reference to religion and the occult since their 2002 album ''[[Geogaddi]]'' and 2000 EP ''[[In a Beautiful Place out in the Country (release)|In a Beautiful Place out in the Country]]''. The album's titles also heavily refer to concepts in cosmology and physics.

* An "[[Introit]]" is a song or psalm that is sung or recited at the beginning of a Christian mass.
* "[[Father And Son]]" could reference the Holy Trinity, which consists of the two and The Holy Spirit.
* "[[The Word Becomes Flesh]]" is a quotation from [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%201:14&version=NIV verse 1:14] of the Gospel of John.
* "[[Naraka]]" references the realm of hell seen in Indian religions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism.
* "[[The Process]]" could refer to the Process Church of the Final Judgement, a new religious movement which briefly existed in the 1960s and 70s. ''The Process'' was the title of their magazine.
* "[[Prophecy At 1420 MHz]]" references the hydrogen line, a specific wavelength of radiation emitted by hydrogen as it undergoes a quantum transition. It has been used to investigate the properties of the universe, and search for extraterrestrial life.
* "[[Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan]]" refers to the first three elements of the periodic table and the mythical sea creature.
* "[[Age Of Capricorn]]" refers to the tenth sign of the astrological zodiac, and is the astrological age that follows the Age of Aquarius. The symbol of capricorn is the goat, which is symbolic in christian and pre-christian beliefs.
* "[[I Saw Through Platonia]]" could refer to a concept by Julian Barbour of a realm called Platonia, which contains every possible configuration of the universe.

== Trivia ==

* ''[[Inferno]]'' has been assigned the catalog number [https://warp.net/releases/590960-inferno/tracklist WARP496]. This seems to be a deliberate request from the band themselves, as preceding [[Warp]] releases such as Squarepusher's [https://warp.net/releases/576448-kammerkonzert/ Kammerkonzert] and Oneohtrix Point Never's [https://warp.net/releases/552598-tranquilizer/ Tranquilizer] have catalog numbers of 417 and 411, respectively.
** 496 is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_number perfect number] and a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_number hexagonal number].
** 496 also holds significance in gematria (Jewish numerology). Representing Kingdom (Malkhut / מלכות). It should be further noted that 496 is the 31st Triangle number, which holds further significance as 31 is the gematria of the word God (El / אֵל).
* Inferno's runtime is exactly 70 minutes. This seems to be deliberate, as 70 is a reoccurring number in the duo's work (e.g. [[Music70]], "[[Sixtyten]]", "[[The Smallest Weird Number]]").
** The album's final track, "[[I Saw Through Platonia]]", ends with 9 seconds of silence, bringing up the runtime to exactly 70 minutes. The duo has done this in the past with ''[[Geogaddi]]'', where the fully silent "[[Magic Window]]" brings up the album's runtime to 66:06.<ref>[https://bocpages.org/wiki/Stirred_Up_The_Ashes "Stirred Up The Ashes"], Heiko Hoffmann, Earplug, 2005</ref>
* On May 27th, 2026, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House White House] posted a promotional video for the Trump administration that featured an audio excerpt from [[Tape 05]]/[[Deep Time]] with a familiar degraded VHS tape aesthetic. They received heavy criticism from fans, with [[Warp Records|Warp]] and [[Boards of Canada|BoC]] condemning the "unauthorised use of their music for political messaging."<ref>[https://ra.co/news/85287 "The White House uses new Boards of Canada track for promo video"], Michael Lawson, Resident Advisor, 2026</ref>
* The font used in the front cover of the album resembles the one used in the title frame of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Tarkovsky?wprov=sfla1 Andrei Tarkovsky]’s 1979 film [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalker_%281979_film%29?wprov=sfla1 ''Stalker''] both in color and design. The main plot of the film revolves around a pilgrimage of a kind walked by the trio of the Stalker, the Writer and the Professor. In the film, the Stalker (who guides tourists through the Zone, which he believes possesses the magical properties of wondermaking and wish fulfilment) plays a role of a mentor and/or a chaperon for the Writer (who has lost any motivation to live and work and who genuinely doesn't believe in the miraculous properties of the Zone yet wants to try making a wish there) and for the Scientist (who believes that the Zone is dangerous and wants to destroy it). The film itself is based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkady_and_Boris_Strugatsky?wprov=sfla1 Brothers Strugatskys’] book [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadside_Picnic?wprov=sfla1 ''The Roadside Picnic'']. Both the book and the film take place in a post-apocalyptic world, which might be a reference to the previous Boards of Canada album [[Tomorrow's Harvest]]. Furthermore, alike to an album, both the book and the film touch upon the topic of miracles and magic that cannot be fully explained by a conventional scientific knowledge.
* In the liner notes for ''[[Inferno]]'' [[Mike Sandison]] is credited with "audio evocations", although it is currently unknown what it exactly means, the word evocation is often associated with a western tradition which involves magic and the summoning of spirits, demons, deities, or other supernatural agents.

== Artwork Sources and Locations ==
* The Artwork inside the liner notes for ''[[Inferno]]'' consists of images likely from the 1970s to 1980s (sometimes with second images overlaid onto them) made to look extremely deteriorated and in very poor condition with scratches, warping, discolouration, and reddish stains in a similar way to the cover art for ''[[Inferno]]'', some of the sources for the images have been found, while the places inside the images have been located,
* One of the images is a heavily distorted still from a 1971 Educational film called "[https://youtu.be/-eZiuQbInbs?si=UNznGsr8WxKg4LTt&t=178/ Wondering About Things]".
* An image in the artwork featuring a modernist style church with a hexagon pattern overlaid behind it is a highly edited version of a [https://www.ebay.com/itm/175347279305/ 1970s post card of the St Timothy’s Memorial Chapel], located near the ghost town of Southern Cross in Montana.
* An image in the artwork appears to show what appears to be a brutalist style wall inside a prairie, this wall turns out to be a side of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_War_Museum/ Canadian War Museum] located in Ottawa, Ontario, although the museum isn’t actually in a prairie like in the image.
* One of the images shows a Rocket-like brutalist structure looming over a landscape, the structure in the image is the 300 Aragvians memorial in Zhinvali, Georgia during the Soviet-era, it was built to honor the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Hundred_Aragvians/ 300 Highlanders] from the Aragvi Valley who died defending Tbilisi during The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Krtsanisi/ Battle of Krtsanisi], the structure seems to be edited into a prairie in a similar style to a few other images.
* One of the images features a giant structure looming over a crowd of people wearing straw hats, the structure in the image is the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenstein_Library/ Joseph Regenstein library] on the main campus of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Chicago/ University of Chicago] located in Illinois.

I Saw Through Platonia

"[[I Saw Through Platonia]]" is the eighteenth and final track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album, ''[[Inferno]]''.

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* The title "[[I Saw Through Platonia]]" most likely refers to the concept by British physicist [[wikipedia:Julian_Barbour|Julian Barbour]] called the realm of Platonia, an infinite timeless landscape which contains every possible arrangement and configuration of the universe.<ref>https://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/4760621</ref>
** Itself influenced by [[wikipedia:Plato|Plato]]'s concept of the world of forms (called [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperuranion "Hyperuranion"] in the original Greek).
* The melody in this track shares a slight resemblance to the melody in "[[R35TT B01]]".
* Throughout the track, a beat resembling a heartbeat can be heard, up until the track abruptly ends.
* There is 9 seconds of silence at the end of the track, presumably a callback to "[[Magic Window]]".

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* The sound at the end of the track seems to be a carrier wave signal; a carrier wave is a steady high-frequency electromagnetic waveform which serves as a base to "carry" lower-frequency information from a transmitter to a receiver.
* The auditory phenomenology common associated with the [[wikipedia:DMT|DMT]] experience, which shares commonalities with near-death experiences, is often described as "the carrier signal."
* As of June 3rd, 2026, it has not been established whether the carrier wave signal at the end of this track contains information, or if so, what.
* 40 seconds into the track, what seems to be a slowed down recording of the ringing of a railroad crossing bell can be heard. This sound turns out to be in a palindromic structure, as it sounds nearly identical when the track is played in reverse.
* Throughout the track, some kind of Shortwave Signal can be heard, the sound becomes more audible and less muffled at 0:59.

== Trivia ==
* [[I Saw Through Platonia]] ends with 9 extra seconds of complete silence, which brings the runtime of ''[[Inferno]]'' up to 70:00, which is very clearly on purpose, as [[Boards of Canada]] have referenced the number 70 many times in their previous works, including the name of their label [[Music70]]. the duo have used this trick before with their 2002 album ''[[Geogaddi]]'' which includes the track "[[Magic Window]]", which is entirely silent and brings the album’s runtime to 66:06.

Deep Time

2026-09-16T09:44:31Z

Fredd-E:

{{Infobox Song|
| name=Deep Time
| runtime=3:18
| appearson=[[Inferno]] (2026)
| next=[[All Reason Departs]]
| prev=[[Blood In The Labyrinth]]}}

"[[Deep Time]]" is the thirteenth track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album, ''[[Inferno]]''. It was originally released on April 16th, 2026, as the video '''"[[Tape 05]]"''', without further information.

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* The title of the track may refer to the concept that shares the same name. The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_time concept of "deep time"], first developed in the 18th century, is geological time that spans billions of years and provides temporal framework for the Earth's formation and evolution, the development of life, and the slow processes that shape planetary change.
* Another reference to Deep Time could be the volume published in 1999 by the astrophysicist and science-fiction writer [[wikipedia:Gregory Benford|Gregory Benford]]. In the volume "Deep Time: How Humanity Communicates Across Millennia"<ref>https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/2014020.Deep_Time</ref>, he confronts our growing influence on events hundreds of thousands of years into the future and explores the possible "messages" we may transmit to our distant descendants in the language of the planet itself, from nuclear waste to global warming to the extinction of species.
* Intentional or not, [[Deep Time]] is the 13th track from [[Inferno]], meanwhile the gap between the album and [[Tomorrow’s Harvest]] is 13 years, and Deep Time was the first track from the album to be revealed.

== Samples / Lyrics ==

== Trivia ==
* "[[Tape 05]]" was originally speculated to be "[[Father And Son]]", due to it being the fifth track on the album and similar in length to the video.<ref>[https://djmag.com/news/listen-boards-of-canadas-two-new-tracks-introit-and-prophecy-1420-mhz "Listen to Boards Of Canada’s two new tracks, ‘Introit’ and ‘Prophecy At 1420 MHz’"], Christian Eede, DJ Mag, 2026</ref> This later turned out to be false, as it was confirmed to be "Deep Time" instead after the [[Inferno listening parties]].
* The note that occurs at 3:00 is not present in the "[[Tape 05]]" version of the track.
* On May 27th 2026 two days before the release of ''[[Inferno]]'', the [[wikipedia:White House|White House]] posted a 15-second clip to [[wikipedia:Twitter|X]], imitating the VHS style of the "[[Tape 05]]" video promoting the [[wikipedia:Trump|Trump]] administration, which used a sample of "[[Deep Time]]" without any permission, the post was immediately met with heavy backlash from fans, in a statement sent to [[wikipedia:Resident Advisor|Resident Advisor]], [[Warp Records]] in response said that nether the label nor [[Boards of Canada]] "condone the unauthorised use of their music for political messaging".

I Saw Through Platonia

2026-09-15T22:59:35Z

Fredd-E: Reverted edits by 2600:4041:43EE:700:45EF:5E12:57EF:B552 (talk) to last revision by [[User:2600:4041:43EE:700:54DB:9DD2:B040:8241|2600...

| runtime=2:39

"[[I Saw Through Platonia]]" is the eighteenth and final track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album, ''[[Inferno]]''.

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* The title "[[I Saw Through Platonia]]" most likely refers to the concept by British physicist [[wikipedia:Julian_Barbour|Julian Barbour]] called the realm of Platonia, an infinite timeless landscape which contains every possible arrangement and configuration of the universe.<ref>https://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/4760621</ref>
** Itself influenced by [[wikipedia:Plato|Plato]]'s concept of the world of forms (called [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperuranion "Hyperuranion"] in the original Greek).
* The melody in this track shares a slight resemblance to the melody in "[[R35TT B01]]".
* Throughout the track, a beat resembling a heartbeat can be heard, up until the track abruptly ends.
* There is 9 seconds of silence at the end of the track, presumably a callback to "[[Magic Window]]".

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* The sound at the end of the track seems to be a carrier wave signal; a carrier wave is a steady high-frequency electromagnetic waveform which serves as a base to "carry" lower-frequency information from a transmitter to a receiver.
* The auditory phenomenology common associated with the [[wikipedia:DMT|DMT]] experience, which shares commonalities with near-death experiences, is often described as "the carrier signal."
* As of June 3rd, 2026, it has not been established whether the carrier wave signal at the end of this track contains information, or if so, what.
* 40 seconds into the track, what seems to be a slowed down recording of the ringing of a railroad crossing bell can be heard. This sound turns out to be in a palindromic structure, as it sounds nearly identical when the track is played in reverse.
* Throughout the track, some kind of Shortwave Signal can be heard, the sound becomes more audible and less muffled at 0:59.

== Trivia ==
* [[I Saw Through Platonia]] ends with 9 extra seconds of complete silence, which brings the runtime of [[Inferno]] up to 70:00, which is very clearly on purpose, as [[Boards of Canada]] have referenced the number 70 many times in their previous works, including the name of their label [[Music70]]. the duo have used this trick before with their 2002 album [[Geogaddi]] which includes the track “[[Magic Window]]”, which is entirely silent and brings the album’s runtime to 66:06.

You Could Feel the Sky

| runtime=5:14

}}

== Comments ==
* [BIBIO] has made very perceptive observations on this track, and some others:
** On colours: [BIBIO] notes that the "yellow" in "[[Alpha And Omega]]" seems to repeat continuously at a lower volume; that "[[Music Is Math]]" has a faint voice which could be saying "purple", and that playing the end section at half-speed results in what sounds like "red" being repeated. With the "orange" in "[[Aquarius]]", they might be trying to cover the range of rainbow colours.
** Repeated allusions to flying (in this and other albums): an aeroplane drone in an eagle in your mind; corsair as a type of plane; comments about going to high altitudes for inspiration; "[[Kid_For_Today|Kid For Today]]" possibly containing a looped aeroplane drone throughout the track; an interview picture of [[Boards of Canada|BoC]] in an airfield with planes (see [[The Secret Life of Boards of Canada]]). Also the interactive scenes on the [[Boardsofcanada.com|BoC website]]: the introductory scene is of aeroplane contrails, and many of the other interactive scenes are flight simulators."[[Chinook]]" is a kind of helicopter, among other things.
* [Leo B] pointed out that the second occurrence of the phrase is at 2:16 in the track. 216 = 6×6×6. Given all the other references of this kind (such as the album length of 66'06" (666), it is at least plausible that this is no coincidence). However, see below on whether the time IS 66'06".
* From the Spanish language Mondosonoro interview, which [[BoC]] say that they were really pleased with the beat in this track, which sounds like a taut tope being pulled across the hull of a wooden ship.<ref>https://bocpages.org/wiki/El_Cielo_Herido</ref>
* [Wikao] notes the sound heard immediately as the track begins may be that of cork being harvested.

* At approximately 2:10, a back-masked voice is heard saying "a god with horns" twice to the sound of a crackling fire and a distant church bell. This is sampled from the Channel 4 series ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desperately_Seeking_Something Desperately Seeking Something]'' (Series 2 Episode 1)<ref>{{#ev:youtube|DEq1hBJrguI|480||||start=187|false}}</ref> about the Wiccan religion, which is also sampled numerous times in "[[Dawn Chorus]]". The episode quotes a poem called '''''The Pipes of Pan''''', written by Viavianne Crowley in her book '''''Wicca: The Old Religion In the New Age''''':
<blockquote>''The Pipes of Pan'' In caverns deep the old Gods sleep But the trees still know the lord And it's the pipes of pan, which call the tune In the twilight in the wood The leaves they dance to the goat god's tune And they whisper his name to the winds And the oak trees dreams of a god with horns And know no other king.</blockquote>
* Slowed flute from "When the Music Starts to Play" by The Incredible String Band.<ref>{{#ev:youtube|RANBgWcPbxU|480||||start=0|false}}</ref>
* 4:08 - looped voice saying "take my hand", "to land", or "too late"
**On the 2002 website, "take my hand" appears in the scene ''"seven forty seven"''. If you fly up to a suitable "pillar" you'll hear it a bit more clearly on its own.
* [sandrail] suggests there may be a voice saying "come help me" during the backmasked speech.

Many other works, in music as well as other media, feature the Horned God. Some notable examples are:
* The music of [[wikipedia:Coil (band)|Coil]].
* The [[wikipedia:Slaine|Sláine]] series of comics/graphic novels.
** Slaine originally came to prominence in the comic [[wikipedia:2000AD (comic)|2000AD]].
** The most notable nods to Wicca are in the eponymous [http://www.rambles.net/slaine_horned89.html Horned God] cycle.

You Retreat In Time And Space

| prev=[[The Process]]}}

"[[You Retreat In Time And Space]]" is the seventeenth track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album, ''[[Inferno]]''.

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* The first nearly three minutes of the track may have inspired by the 1979 track [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLhayEzDesE&t=134s/ Sea Cathedral by Christian Chevalier], which was included on [[Boards of Canada]]'s 2019 mixtape [[Societas x Tape]] as the outro track, prior to [[Inferno]]’s release.

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* During the first half of the track, sounds of ocean waves hitting a shore can be heard.

== Trivia ==
* The first half of the song sounds nearly identical when played forward or reversed.
* At the [[Inferno listening parties]], this song had its own unique visuals, which consisted of sped-up turquoise-colored 1970s-era home videos of children. This was unlike the other tracks, which were accompanied simply by a hexagon flower spinning with fire inside. The visuals shown have not been officially released.

Prophecy At 1420 MHz

2026-09-11T21:44:26Z

{{Infobox Song|
| name=Prophecy At 1420 MHz
| runtime=5:04
| appearson=[[Introit / Prophecy At 1420 MHz]] (2026) [[Inferno]] (2026)
| next=[[Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan]]
| prev=[[Introit]]}}

"[[Prophecy At 1420 MHz]]" is the second track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album, ''[[Inferno]]''. It was released alongside "[[Introit]]" on May 7th, 2026, as the album's lead single.

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* 1420 MHz is the emission frequency of the spin-flip transition of the ground state of neutral, solitary hydrogen atoms, the most commonly-occurring element in the universe. This frequency is part of a "protected spectrum", reserved for astronomical/extraterrestrial research; terrestrial transmissions on this frequency are forbidden. The frequency is often mentioned in the context of the "Wow! signal", an unexplained signal (with this frequency) that was detected on August 15th, 1977.<ref>[[wikipedia:Wow!_signal]]</ref>
* The guitar sound in this track is reminiscent of the sound that can be heard in the background of "[[Oscar See Through Red Eye]]".
* In the official music video for the song, during the "following program" screen, the bottom reads "© MBI MCMLXXIX", which MBI is an acronym for the Moody Bible Institute, which had previously been referenced in the [[VHS Tape Mailings]] earlier that year.
* The progression in this track is similar to "[[You Could Feel The Sky]]".
* The plucked synth that can be heard at 2:06 is reminiscent of the main synth that can be heard in "[[Meat Beat Manifesto - Prime Audio Soup]]", a remix that [[BoC]] did in the late 90s.

== Music Video References ==
* In the video at 2:04, The rose church window comes from the Chartres Cathedral, a Catholic Church located in Chartres France.
* The man appearing at 1:31 seems to be American cult leader and mass murder Jim Jones, who was known for founding and leading the "People’s Temple" and orchestrating a mass murder-suicide that resulted in the deaths of over 900 people.
* The spiral that appears at 2:48 may be an Archimedean Spiral, named after the Greek mathematician Archimedes, is a mathematical curve where the distance between successive turning loops remain completely constant, it is defined in polar coordinates as r = a + bθ.
* The building appearing at 3:49 could be 200 mission St located in San Francisco.
* the image appearing at 2:02 is speculated to be, something likely related to the church of Scientology being done to someone by another person (possibly L. Ron Hubbard).
* Imagery involving the cross, the symbol most commonly associated with the religion of Christianity, can be seen numerous times, including at 0:06, 1:53, 2:12, 2:34 (as a necklace a woman is wearing), 3:12, 3:43, and 3:45.
* at 3:05 for a single frame, a kind of honeycomb structure (most likely of the species Apis Mellifera) can be seen.

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* The vocal heard over the track is sampled from "In the Beginning Was Consciousness", a lecture by Professor [[wikipedia:Seyyed_Hossein_Nasr|Seyyed Hossein Nasr]] at [[wikipedia:Harvard Divinity School|Harvard Divinity School]] on May 1, 2003.<ref>{{#ev:youtube|fIjW1z-ZAX8|480||||start=0|false}}</ref> The lyrics are spliced together from different parts of the lecture and Q&A.

* 4 seconds into the track an obfuscated voice can be heard, although it is unknown what the voice is saying.
* The flute that can be heard at the beginning of the track is most likely a sample of a Persian (or Turkish) Ney, traditionally the lowest pitch of the ney is a C, which is the key of [[Prophecy At 1420 MHz]].

== Trivia ==
* The song premiere occurred 30 minutes earlier than intended on the album's [https://music.apple.com/album/inferno/1890015523 Apple Music page], which allowed some users to listen to the single early.

== Videos ==
The split music video for the song was released on May 7th, 2026, through the [[BoC|band]]'s official [https://www.youtube.com/@boardsofcanada/ YouTube channel].

"[[Naraka]]" is the seventh track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album, ''[[Inferno]]''.

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* "[[Naraka]]" is the [[wikipedia:Hinduism|Hindu]] place for the expiration of sins after death, roughly corresponding to the Christian concept of hell (or perhaps purgatory).<ref>[[wikipedia:Naraka (Hinduism)]]</ref>
* [[Naraka]] is structurally similar to "[[Palace Posy]]" from [[Boards of Canada]]’s 2013 album [[Tomorrow’s Harvest]], with a first half that starts immediately with no intro followed by a second half that heavily involves chanting.
* The chants you hear are Hare Rama, Hare Krishna is a chant for a surrender to the divine, to become one with it, Rama and Krishna are the 7th and 8th avatars of Vishnu, Vishnu is the preserver of order and his Avatars are born to preserve dharma or order.

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* From 2:39 onwards, a Hare Krishna chant sampled from a short promotional film showcasing the worldwide activities of the [[wikipedia:International_Society_for_Krishna_Consciousness|International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON)]] in the early 1980s.<ref>{{#ev:youtube|5PDzmY9A6pY|480||||start=5|false}}</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/comments/1tqh8h0/boards_of_canada_inferno/</ref>

हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण 
कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे 
हरे राम हरे राम 
राम राम हरे हरे 
 
("Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, 
Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare" 
Hare Rama, Hare Rama 
Rama Rama, Hare Hare") 
</blockquote>
* The wind-like noise starting at 3:12 that can be heard alongside the Hindu Chanting, is sampled from the intro of the 1975 track "Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI–IX)" by [[wikipedia:Pink Floyd|Pink Floyd]].

== Trivia ==
* The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hare_Krishna_(mantra) Hare Krishna] chant loops 9 times.
* The synth, first occurring at 0:31 seems to be a less polished version of the lead synth in the track "[[Pete Standing Alone]]" from ''[[Music Has The Right To Children]]''.

== Leadup ==

''Main article: [[Road to Inferno]]''

Speculation for the album's release preceded its official announcement by over a decade, with the band and its associates sparsely giving out new information. Activity notably increased in 2025, including the band's Instagram account [[Road_to_Inferno#Instagram_Likes|liking comments related to a new album]], a ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]''-era [[Cosecha-transmisiones.com|website]] [[Road_to_Inferno#Cosecha_Transmisiones|coming online once again]], and [[Road_to_Inferno#New_Merchandise|new merchandise being put on sale]]. For a more detailed look on the band's activities during this period, see the article [[Road to Inferno]].

== Promotional Campaign ==
''Main article: [[2026 Promo Campaign]]''

In early April 2026, multiple fans received unmarked VHS tapes through the mail, with sender addresses related to [[Warp Records|Warp]] and their online storefront [[Bleep.com|Bleep]]. About a week after, posters with imagery reminiscent of the band started appearing in multiple places around the UK and US. For an in-depth look at the days preceding the album's announcement, see the article [[2026 Promo Campaign]].

== Title and Themes ==

As a word, ''Inferno'' references hell and places reminiscent of it. It is the most explicit reference to religion and the occult since their 2002 album ''[[Geogaddi]]'' and 2000 EP ''[[In a Beautiful Place out in the Country (release)|In a Beautiful Place out in the Country]]''. The album's titles also heavily refer to concepts in cosmology and physics.

* An "[[Introit]]" is a song or psalm that is sung or recited at the beginning of a Christian mass.
* "[[Father And Son]]" could reference the Holy Trinity, which consists of the two and The Holy Spirit.
* "[[The Word Becomes Flesh]]" is a quotation from [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%201:14&version=NIV verse 1:14] of the Gospel of John.
* "[[Naraka]]" references the realm of hell seen in Indian religions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism.
* "[[The Process]]" could refer to the Process Church of the Final Judgement, a new religious movement which briefly existed in the 1960s and 70s. ''The Process'' was the title of their magazine.
* "[[Prophecy At 1420 MHz]]" references the hydrogen line, a specific wavelength of radiation emitted by hydrogen as it undergoes a quantum transition. It has been used to investigate the properties of the universe, and search for extraterrestrial life.
* "[[Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan]]" refers to the first three elements of the periodic table and the mythical sea creature.
* "[[Age Of Capricorn]]" refers to the tenth sign of the astrological zodiac, and is the astrological age that follows the Age of Aquarius. The symbol of capricorn is the goat, which is symbolic in christian and pre-christian beliefs.
* "[[I Saw Through Platonia]]" could refer to a concept by Julian Barbour of a realm called Platonia, which contains every possible configuration of the universe.

== Trivia ==

* ''[[Inferno]]'' has been assigned the catalog number [https://warp.net/releases/590960-inferno/tracklist WARP496]. This seems to be a deliberate request from the band themselves, as preceding [[Warp]] releases such as Squarepusher's [https://warp.net/releases/576448-kammerkonzert/ Kammerkonzert] and Oneohtrix Point Never's [https://warp.net/releases/552598-tranquilizer/ Tranquilizer] have catalog numbers of 417 and 411, respectively.
** 496 is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_number perfect number] and a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_number hexagonal number].
** 496 also holds significance in gematria (Jewish numerology). Representing Kingdom (Malkhut / מלכות). It should be further noted that 496 is the 31st Triangle number, which holds further significance as 31 is the gematria of the word God (El / אֵל).
* Inferno's runtime is exactly 70 minutes. This seems to be deliberate, as 70 is a reoccurring number in the duo's work (e.g. [[Music70]], "[[Sixtyten]]", "[[The Smallest Weird Number]]").
** The album's final track, "[[I Saw Through Platonia]]", ends with 9 seconds of silence, bringing up the runtime to exactly 70 minutes. The duo has done this in the past with ''[[Geogaddi]]'', where the fully silent "[[Magic Window]]" brings up the album's runtime to 66:06.<ref>[https://bocpages.org/wiki/Stirred_Up_The_Ashes "Stirred Up The Ashes"], Heiko Hoffmann, Earplug, 2005</ref>
* On May 27th, 2026, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House White House] posted a promotional video for the Trump administration that featured an audio excerpt from [[Tape 05]]/[[Deep Time]] with a familiar degraded VHS tape aesthetic. They received heavy criticism from fans, with [[Warp Records|Warp]] and [[Boards of Canada|BoC]] condemning the "unauthorised use of their music for political messaging."<ref>[https://ra.co/news/85287 "The White House uses new Boards of Canada track for promo video"], Michael Lawson, Resident Advisor, 2026</ref>
* The font used in the front cover of the album resembles the one used in the title frame of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Tarkovsky?wprov=sfla1 Andrei Tarkovsky]’s 1979 film [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalker_%281979_film%29?wprov=sfla1 ''Stalker''] both in color and design. The main plot of the film revolves around a pilgrimage of a kind walked by the trio of the Stalker, the Writer and the Professor. In the film, the Stalker (who guides tourists through the Zone, which he believes possesses the magical properties of wondermaking and wish fulfilment) plays a role of a mentor and/or a chaperon for the Writer (who has lost any motivation to live and work and who genuinely doesn't believe in the miraculous properties of the Zone yet wants to try making a wish there) and for the Scientist (who believes that the Zone is dangerous and wants to destroy it). The film itself is based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkady_and_Boris_Strugatsky?wprov=sfla1 Brothers Strugatskys’] book [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadside_Picnic?wprov=sfla1 ''The Roadside Picnic'']. Both the book and the film take place in a post-apocalyptic world, which might be a reference to the previous Boards of Canada album [[Tomorrow's Harvest]]. Furthermore, alike to an album, both the book and the film touch upon the topic of miracles and magic that cannot be fully explained by a conventional scientific knowledge.
* In the liner notes for ''[[Inferno]]'' [[Mike Sandison]] is credited with "audio evocations", although it is currently unknown what it exactly means, the word evocation is often associated with a western tradition which involves magic and the summoning of spirits, demons, deities, or other supernatural agents.

Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan

"[[Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan]]" is the third track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album, ''[[Inferno]]''.

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* [[wikipedia:Hydrogen|Hydrogen]], [[wikipedia:Helium|helium]], and [[wikipedia:Lithium|lithium]] are the first three elements of the [[wikipedia:Periodic_table|periodic table]].
* Unlike the others, [[wikipedia:Leviathan|Leviathan]] refers to a massive sea monster found in [[wikipedia:Jewish_mythology|Jewish mythology]].
* Hydrogen, helium, and lithium were the first elements to be "produced" [[wikipedia:Big_Bang_nucleosynthesis|during, and shortly after, the Big Bang.]] All further elements are created during the formation, evolution and death of stars, potentially the "Leviathan" the track title is referring to.
* The title of the track can be abbreviated/initialised as "H He Li L", which bears resemblance to the word Hell, the abode of the dead in various cultures and religions. Boards of Canada have used this title trick before - "[[Satellite Anthem Icarus]]" can be abbreviated as "SAT AN IC".
* Interestingly the title [[Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan]] may be connected to the four books of The Satanic Bible, which contains four books (Satan, Lucifer, Beilal, and Leviathan), and the name of the third track contains four words (Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, and Leviathan), meanwhile each of the four books is given are element an element to go with them (in order they are fire, air, earth, and water), interestingly Beilal is earth and lithium can mainly be found inside the crust of the Earth, Lucifer is air and helium is famously known to be lighter than air, hydrogen isn’t exactly connected to fire but it is highly combustible and is one of the primary elements of stars (which are often thought of as balls of fire) and one of the primary symbolisms used in connection with the occult is a pentagram, which is a five pointed star.

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* Starting at 2:58, buried chanting can be heard.
* At 2:58, what sounds like shattered glass being moved can be heard along side the bongos.

== Trivia ==
* The chords and sound of the violin like lead synth are reminiscent of "[[Aquarius]]" from [[Boards of Canada]]’s 1998 album ''[[Music Has The Right To Children]]''.
* The bongos starting at 2:57 are the same bongos that can be heard in the track "[[Alpha And Omega]]".

Vol.4 - P. Primers - 177 Giraud's Mirror

2026-09-11T21:30:38Z

{{Infobox Song|
| name=Vol.4 - P. Primers - 177 Giraud's Mirror
| runtime=3:24
| appearson=[[Inferno]] (Red 2LP vinyl edition only)
| next=n/a
| prev=[[I Saw Through Platonia]]}}

[[Vol.4 - P. Primers - 177 Giraud's Mirror]] is a track released exclusively on a hexagonal [[wikipedia:flexi_disc|flexi disc]] which was included with the Red 2LP vinyl edition of ''[[Inferno]]'', [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album which released in 2026.

__TOC__

== Liner Notes ==

<blockquote>
Vol.4 - P. Primers - 177 Giraud's Mirror 
Ascension recorded at the MWGYF Conference, 28 August 1983 
©MBI 1983 
45 rpm Hexi Disc
</blockquote>

== Samples / Lyrics ==

The repeating garbled vocal sample in the track, is from the outro of a McDonald's training film from 1972.<ref>{{#ev:youtube|l0NOhQj1m3s|480||||start=804|false}}</ref>

<blockquote>You have just one life to live 
Make it rich with what you give 
To your brother 
The greatest gift is the smile you give 
To your brother</blockquote>
* At 0:50, 1:13, 1:37, 2:00, 2:24, 2:47, and 3:12, a heavily obscured, and reverberated voice either saying "Push" or "Punish" can be hear, which the distortion of the sample causes a kind of auditory illusion, making listeners either hear "Push" or "Punish".

== Trivia ==

* The liner notes appear to refer to the "P. Primer trigger recordings" from the "MBI Institute" as [[2026_Promo_Campaign#Analysis:_Moody_Bible_Institute|mentioned in the promo VHS tapes]].
* The "MBI Institute" is also mentioned, along with the "Mass Behavioral Initiative," in the introductory audio for the [[Inferno_listening_parties#Inferno_Sessions|Inferno Sessions]].
* Boards of Canada's fascination with numbers seems to pop up here. 177 has a few correlations but one of the more notable is that 177 is the smallest full 3x3 Magic Square, Magic Constant of distinct prime numbers.

Age Of Capricorn

2026-09-11T21:29:34Z

Fredd-E:

{{Infobox Song|
| name=Age Of Capricorn
| runtime=3:52
| appearson=[[Inferno]] (2026)
| next=[[Father And Son]]
| prev=[[Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan]]}}

"[[Age Of Capricorn]]" is the fourth track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album, ''[[Inferno]]''.

__TOC__

== Comments ==

* The "[[wikipedia:Age of Capricorn|age of Capricorn]]", to followers of [[wikipedia:Astrology|astrology]], is an upcoming astrological age that will follow the current "[[wikipedia:Age of Aquarius|age of Aquarius]]" and begin around the year 4000 AD.<ref>https://compassastrology.com/capricorn-age</ref> Astrologists theorise that humans, by this time, will be "born [[wikipedia:Clairvoyance|clairvoyant]]" and that the concept of death will disappear as humans "will be in constant contact with the worlds beyond."<ref>https://www.astrolada.com/articles/predictive-astrology/the-age-of-the-capricorn-4000-ad-to-6000-ad-occult-secrets-of-the-distant-human-future.html</ref>

* The mentions of "Mabus" likely refer to the writings of famed astrologer and seer [[wikipedia:Nostradamus|Nostradamus]]. Followers of Nostradamus claim that the name "Mabus" refers to the Antichrist<ref>[[wikipedia:Nostradamus_in_popular_culture#.27Mabus.27_as_Antichrist]]</ref>, and several attempts have been made to link this name with well-known figures, from [[wikipedia:Barack Obama|Barack Obama]] to [[wikipedia:Osama Bin Laden|Osama Bin Laden]]. The sample of a man rearranging the letters of "Usama" to "M a a u s" then to "Mabus" is almost certainly a reference to this.<ref>[[wikipedia:Nostradamus_in_popular_culture#.27Mabus.27_as_Antichrist]]</ref>

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* From 0:49 onwards, a Nostradamus prophecy theorist (potentially John Hogue) performing anagrammatic analysis on the name "Mabus", linking Osama Bin Laden through an alternative spelling "Usama".
<blockquote>
U-S-A-M-A 
M double A-U-S 
U, uh 
M-A-B-U-S 
Mabus, Mabus</blockquote>
* From 1:25 onwards, call and response choral singing, sampled from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avn4ZTxSuyo Door of My Heart (A Chant by Paramhansa Yogananda)]
<blockquote>
Just for once, come to me

"[[Prophecy At 1420 MHz]]" is the second track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album, ''[[Inferno]]''. It was released alongside "[[Introit]]" on May 7th, 2026, as the album's lead single.

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* 1420 MHz is the emission frequency of the spin-flip transition of the ground state of neutral, solitary hydrogen atoms, the most commonly-occurring element in the universe. This frequency is part of a "protected spectrum", reserved for astronomical/extraterrestrial research; terrestrial transmissions on this frequency are forbidden. The frequency is often mentioned in the context of the "Wow! signal", an unexplained signal (with this frequency) that was detected on August 15th, 1977.<ref>[[wikipedia:Wow!_signal]]</ref>
* The guitar sound in this track is reminiscent of the sound that can be heard in the background of "[[Oscar See Through Red Eye]]".
* In the official music video for the song, during the “following program” screen, the bottom reads “© MBI MCMLXXIX”, which MBI is an acronym for the Moody Bible Institute, which had previously been referenced in the [[VHS Tape Mailings]] earlier that year.
* The progression in this track is similar to "[[You Could Feel The Sky]]".
* The plucked synth that can be heard at 2:06 is reminiscent of the main synth that can be heard in "[[Meat Beat Manifesto - Prime Audio Soup]]", a remix that [[BoC]] did in the late 90s.

== Music Video References ==
* In the video at 2:04, The rose church window comes from the Chartres Cathedral, a Catholic Church located in Chartres France.
* The man appearing at 1:31 seems to be American cult leader and mass murder Jim Jones, who was known for founding and leading the “People’s Temple” and orchestrating a mass murder-suicide that resulted in the deaths of over 900 people.
* The spiral that appears at 2:48 may be an Archimedean Spiral, named after the Greek mathematician Archimedes, is a mathematical curve where the distance between successive turning loops remain completely constant, it is defined in polar coordinates as r = a + bθ.
* The building appearing at 3:49 could be 200 mission St located in San Francisco.
* the image appearing at 2:02 is speculated to be, something likely related to the church of Scientology being done to someone by another person (possibly L. Ron Hubbard).
* Imagery involving the cross, the symbol most commonly associated with the religion of Christianity, can be seen numerous times, including at 0:06, 1:53, 2:12, 2:34 (as a necklace a woman is wearing), 3:12, 3:43, and 3:45.
* at 3:05 for a single frame, a kind of honeycomb structure (most likely of the species Apis Mellifera) can be seen.

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* The vocal heard over the track is sampled from "In the Beginning Was Consciousness", a lecture by Professor [[wikipedia:Seyyed_Hossein_Nasr|Seyyed Hossein Nasr]] at [[wikipedia:Harvard Divinity School|Harvard Divinity School]] on May 1, 2003.<ref>{{#ev:youtube|fIjW1z-ZAX8|480||||start=0|false}}</ref> The lyrics are spliced together from different parts of the lecture and Q&A.

* 4 seconds into the track an obfuscated voice can be heard, although it is unknown what the voice is saying.
* The flute that can be heard at the beginning of the track is most likely a sample of a Persian (or Turkish) Ney, traditionally the lowest pitch of the ney is a C, which is the key of [[Prophecy At 1420 MHz]].

== Trivia ==
* The song premiere occurred 30 minutes earlier than intended on the album's [https://music.apple.com/album/inferno/1890015523 Apple Music page], which allowed some users to listen to the single early.

Introit

"[[Introit]]" is the first track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album, ''[[Inferno]]''. It functions as a short introduction track, in the same vein as on their previous albums. "Introit" was released on May 7th, 2026, alongside "[[Prophecy At 1420 MHz]]", as the album's lead single.

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* An introit is a "piece of music sung or played at the beginning of a worship service".<ref>https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/introit</ref> In many Christian denominations, an introit is sung to begin the [[wikipedia:Eucharist|Eucharist]], or Holy Communion.<ref>https://www.episcopalchurch.org/glossary/introit/</ref>
* In the rite of the [[wikipedia:Mass in the Catholic Church|Catholic Mass]], especially as seen in the 1962 pre-Vatican II Missals, the Introit specifically refers to the beginning of The Liturgy of the [[wikipedia:Eucharist|Eucharist]]. This could tie directly into another track on the album "[[The Word Becomes Flesh]]" whose title comes from John 1:14, a verse that becomes central in the Liturgy of the Eucharist in the Christian denominations (especially Catholicism).
* The synth that can be heard at 0:21 is very similar to and has the same notes as the flourishing synth that can be heard in "[[Aquarius]]", "[[Warp10-03]]", and "[[Alpha And Omega]]".

== Samples / Lyrics ==

== Trivia ==
* [[Introit]] is the shortest opening track on a [[Boards of Canada]] album since "[[Into the Rainbow Vein]]" on ''[[The Campfire Headphase]]''.
* The main melody of the track is almost identical when played forward or reverse.

== Videos ==

"[[Naraka]]" is the seventh track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album, ''[[Inferno]]''.

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* "[[Naraka]]" is the [[wikipedia:Hinduism|Hindu]] place for the expiration of sins after death, roughly corresponding to the Christian concept of hell (or perhaps purgatory).<ref>[[wikipedia:Naraka (Hinduism)]]</ref>
* [[Naraka]] is structurally similar to "[[Palace Posy]]" from [[Boards of Canada]]’s 2013 album [[Tomorrow’s Harvest]], with a first half that starts immediately with no intro followed by a second half that heavily involves chanting.
* The chants you hear are Hare Rama, Hare Krishna is a chant for a surrender to the divine, to become one with it, Rama and Krishna are the 7th and 8th avatars of Vishnu, Vishnu is the preserver of order and his Avatars are born to preserve dharma or order.

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* From 2:39 onwards, a Hare Krishna chant sampled from a short promotional film showcasing the worldwide activities of the [[wikipedia:International_Society_for_Krishna_Consciousness|International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON)]] in the early 1980s.<ref>{{#ev:youtube|5PDzmY9A6pY|480||||start=5|false}}</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/comments/1tqh8h0/boards_of_canada_inferno/</ref>

कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे 
हरे राम हरे राम 
राम राम हरे हरे 
 
("Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, 
Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare" 
Hare Rama, Hare Rama 
Rama Rama, Hare Hare") 
</blockquote>
* The wind-like noise starting at 3:12 that can be heard alongside the Hindu Chanting, is sampled from the intro of the 1975 track “Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI–IX)” by Pink Floyd.

== Trivia ==
* The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hare_Krishna_(mantra) Hare Krishna] chant loops 9 times.
* The synth, first occurring at 0:31 seems to be a less polished version of the lead synth in the track "[[Pete Standing Alone]]" from ''[[Music Has The Right To Children]]''.

{{Infobox Song|
| name=Arena Americanada

| appearson=[[Inferno]] (2026)

| prev=[[All Reason Departs]]}}

"[[Arena Americanada]]" is the fifteenth track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album, ''[[Inferno]]''.

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* "Americanada" is a portmanteau of America and Canada.
** It can also be read as a combination of America and "nada", the latter word being Spanish for "nothing".<ref>[https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nada “nada”] Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary</ref>
* The jingle in the outro of the track is slightly reminiscent of the Cosecha jingle at the end of "[[New Seeds]]".
* The title [[Arena Americanada]] may be a reference to the Scotiabank Saddledome, which is an arena located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, which the father of the sandison brothers had helped work on the construction of the arena in the early 1980s.<ref>https://youtu.be/N06boAGV0dg?is=Rt9AlIIND4sxZbcT</ref>
* The synth bass that appears in this track from 0:55 onwards is reused from "[[Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan]]" at 2:58, from earlier on the album.

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* During the fade-out a recording of what seems to be the sea along with occasional seagull calls can be heard.
* There is the faint sound of a crowd of people cheering and whistling present most of the song

== Trivia ==
* [[Arena Americanada]] is played in 60Hz, which is the utility frequency in the Americas and parts of Asia.

Deep Time

| name=Deep Time

| appearson=[[Inferno]] (2026)

| prev=[[Blood In The Labyrinth]]}}

"[[Deep Time]]" is the thirteenth track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album, ''[[Inferno]]''. It was originally released on April 16th, 2026, as the video '''"[[Tape 05]]"''', without further information.

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* The title of the track may refer to the concept that shares the same name. The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_time concept of "deep time"], first developed in the 18th century, is geological time that spans billions of years and provides temporal framework for the Earth's formation and evolution, the development of life, and the slow processes that shape planetary change.
* Another reference to Deep Time could be the volume published in 1999 by the astrophysicist and science-fiction writer [[wikipedia:Gregory Benford|Gregory Benford]]. In the volume "Deep Time: How Humanity Communicates Across Millennia"<ref>https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/2014020.Deep_Time</ref>, he confronts our growing influence on events hundreds of thousands of years into the future and explores the possible "messages" we may transmit to our distant descendants in the language of the planet itself, from nuclear waste to global warming to the extinction of species.
* Intentional or not, [[Deep Time]] is the 13th track from [[Inferno]], meanwhile the gap between the album and [[Tomorrow’s Harvest]] is 13 years, and Deep Time was the first track from the album to be revealed.

== Samples / Lyrics ==

== Trivia ==
* "[[Tape 05]]" was originally speculated to be "[[Father And Son]]", due to it being the fifth track on the album and similar in length to the video.<ref>[https://djmag.com/news/listen-boards-of-canadas-two-new-tracks-introit-and-prophecy-1420-mhz "Listen to Boards Of Canada’s two new tracks, ‘Introit’ and ‘Prophecy At 1420 MHz’"], Christian Eede, DJ Mag, 2026</ref> This later turned out to be false, as it was confirmed to be "Deep Time" instead after the [[Inferno listening parties]].
* The note that occurs at 3:00 is not present in the "[[Tape 05]]" version of the track.
