== 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.

=== Pre-Twoism ===
* ''[[Catalog 3]]'' (1987)
* ''[[Acid Memories]]'' (1989)
* ''[[Closes Vol. 1]]'' (1992)
* ''[[Play By Numbers]]'' (1994)
* ''[[Hooper Bay]]'' (1994)

=== Post-Twoism ===
* ''[[Boc Maxima (release)|Boc Maxima]]'' (1996)
* ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 1|Old Tunes Vol. 1 \ A Few Old Tunes ]]'' (1996)
* ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 2]]'' (1996)
* ''[[Boc Remii Vol. 1]]'' (1999)

=== Unofficial ===
* ''[[Random 35 Tracks Tape]]'' (date unknown, often presumed 1995 - first appeared online c.2000)

== Mixtapes ==
* ''[[Marcus Eoin's Campfire Mixtape]]'' (2005) - Featured in the November 2005 issue of Dazed & Confused Magazine.
* ''[[Societas x Tape]]'' (2019) - Broadcast on 23rd June 2019 on NTS Radio as part of [[WXAXRXP]], [[Warp Records]]' 30th anniversary celebration event.

=== 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.

Everything You Do Is A Balloon

2026-09-23T20:04:23Z

Mr udders: Changed title of Bocuma in next track section to Boc Maxima to reflect the alternate title on the release

{{Infobox Song|

"'''Everything You Do Is A Balloon'''" is the sixth and last track on ''[[Hi Scores (release)|Hi Scores]]'' and the fourth track on ''[[Boc Maxima (release)|Boc Maxima]]''.

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* Regarding the title, the band has stated that:
<blockquote>
Some titles are personal stories, such as "Everything You Do Is A Balloon", which was a realization made long ago in the forest"''.<ref>http://www.solesides.com/winblad/boards%20of%20canada/bocehx.html</ref><ref>[[Interviews#1998-03-25:_EHX|"The Age of Aquarius" by the Cosmic Crofter]]</ref>
</blockquote>
* [https://www.twoism.org/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=3920 Twoism user Witto] noticed the following:
<blockquote>every time the beat throws in a funky little snare drum roll, a new element is introduced into the song. I think the first thing that's added is a hi-hat choke.</blockquote>

== Samples / Lyrics ==

* The guitar piece at the fade out part of the track has been sampled from the song Timeless by [http://www.discogs.com/artist/John+Abercrombie John Abercrombie]. <ref>http://forum.watmm.com/topic/70233-peel-sessions-cd-ultra-limited/page__view__findpost__p__1704409</ref>

'''''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]]''.

== 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".

== 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".

ATP-07

2026-09-08T17:11:15Z

Mr udders: Formatting tweak

{{Infobox Song|
| name=ATP-07
| runtime=8:12
| appearson=[[Live @ ATP]]}}

''ATP-07'' is an unreleased track that was played as part of a live set at All Tomorrows Parties ([[Live @ ATP]]). Its official title is unknown.

A soundboard recording of the live performance is available, while its original mix remains unheard.

== Comments ==
* It is mainly believed to be an outtake demo from the ''[[Geogaddi]]'' sessions, performed live as a teaser on the gig among other (then) unfinished demos like "[[Sunshine Recorder]]" (track 4) or "[[Julie And Candy]]" (track 8). The track was likely later discarded for the final project release, in favor of other tracks that made it to the album.
* It has also been speculated that this track is a live performance of "[[Noatak]]" from Boards of Canada's unheard 1994 album ''[[Hooper Bay]]''. This is due to it being of a similar length to the ''Hooper Bay'' track, similarities between the high-pitched drone in the track's second half and the droning found in "[[Circle]]" (the only ''Hooper Bay'' track heard outside the band's friends and family), as well as the vocoded voice starting at 2:23 sounding like the word "Noatak" spoken in received pronunciation. However, there is no hard evidence to support this theory.
* [[ATP-07]] is structurally similar to "[[Nlogax]]" from [[Boards of Canada]]'s 1996 EP ''[[Hi Scores (release)|Hi Scores]]'', with a more straightforwardly techno-oriented first half followed by a gradual transition to a darker second half. The band stated in a [[A Bunker Full of Memories|1998 interview]]:
<blockquote>
"We sometimes make a tune metamorphose as it plays. An example is "[[Nlogax]]" from the ''[[Hi Scores]]'' EP on [[Skam]], which begins like an old electro or disco track but halfway through it suddenly becomes something nightmarish, like your brain is starting to malfunction in the middle of the tune. Psychedelics make music sound entirely different. Tiny details become massive, a five-minute track can feel like it's five hours long on psychedelics.
</blockquote>

== Samples/Lyrics ==
* 0:34 - A child saying "Louder!".
* 2:23 onward - A vocoded voice repeating an unintelligible phrase. Theories of what it says include the voice saying "Nowhere to talk", "Glow in the dark", "Electric Star" or "Noatak".
* 3:50 onward - A heavily processed and time-stretched sample of "Galactic Travel" by Peter Howell, which appears on ''[https://youtu.be/xw1vKPqOtO4?si=xEpAnNJ4jlPfS-QZ&t=73 Out of This World]'', a 1976 album by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Radiophonic_Workshop BBC Radiophonic Workshop] which compiled various ambient pieces and sound effects used in BBC programmes.
* 5:20 onward - A woman saying "See the rainbow" or "Sing a rainbow". The latter option implies it may be a reference to a popular american nursery rhyme called "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Can_Sing_a_Rainbow I Can Sing a Rainbow]".

Alternatively, the child at 0:34 could be saying "Robert". This may have been taken from an early episode of ''The Cosby Show'' in which the Cosby family meets Stevie Wonder. (not confirmed)<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIm6xmOyO6Q</ref>

== Crowd noise ==
Before April 2026, only a few audience recordings were available. As an audience recording, there is constant noise throughout the recording from the crowd. As [[Boards of Canada]] has used vocal samples, including recordings of groups of people talking (perhaps most prominently in "[[Turquoise Hexagon Sun]]"), many fans feel the ambient noise actually adds to the recording. At any rate, since the live version is the only known recording, listeners have become used to the noise as part of the track.

[[Twoism forum]] poster zeitgeist offers some interpretations of what's being said:

<blockquote>
so, i remember a similar thread awhile ago about distracting noises in the atp/warp live sets. i couldn't find it using search, so apologize if i'm retreading here. there's a hilarious (although fucking-annoying) moment in ATP track 7 where in my copy it sounds like someone getting hit in the face and the noises afterwards... i hope that's not a sample in the background?.... anyway, i just heard it because i'm baked for the first in awhile. figured i'd transcribe it. maybe you can hear it too?

(w=woman, m=man)

4:09 - [(W) "Oh fuck!"]<br>
4:11-4:13 - [(M) "Stop that, .....don't..put..that in her eyes!"]<br>
4:15 - [(W) "shit, man!"]<br>
4:32-4:36 - [(M) mumbling], [(W) "....shit...right in my eye!"], [(M) "it's ok."]<br>
4:38 - [(M) "it's only 'cuz it's used to the dark, that's all."]<br>
4:39 - [(W) "yeah, but it still hurts!"]<br>
4:45 - [(M) "You'll live.....it's only cuz your eyes are not used to the dark....your eyes are so (protected?)...your eyes...")

...or on second-thought, maybe the woman is tripping balls and is scared of the light. yea, that's definitely it.

the drama never stops.

EDIT: @ 8:22 - man says amongst clapping, "i wanna die!". hope that's in a "good" way.

Prophecy At 1420 MHz

2026-08-15T20:21:02Z

Mr udders: Fixed typo

{{Infobox Song|
| name=Prophecy At 1420 MHz
| runtime=5:04
| appearson=[[Introit / Prophecy At 1420 MHz]] (2026)<br>[[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.

== 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.

== 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.
* Timestamps in the table below correspond to the referenced YouTube video of the lecture. Words and phrases from the lecture have been combined to create new phrases altogether.

* 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.

The Process

2026-08-01T19:47:13Z

Mr udders: Changed wording

{{Infobox Song|
| name=The Process
| runtime=3:01
| appearson=[[Inferno]] (2026)
| next=[[You Retreat In Time And Space]]
| prev=[[Arena Americanada]]}}

"[[The Process]]" is the sixteenth track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album, ''[[Inferno]]''.

== Comments ==
* "[[The Process]]" could refer to [[wikipedia:The Process Church of the Final Judgment|The Process Church of the Final Judgment]], which was a brief controversial religious group that was established in 1966 and disappeared sometime in the mid-to-late 1970s. [[wikipedia:The Process (collective)|The Process]] was the title of the group's self-titled magazine.
* Additionally, the title could also refer to Process theology, which is a philosophical-theological movement inspired by mathematician Alfred North Whitehead, which claims that God is constantly evolving and deeply connected with the universe, which contradicts traditional theism, which views God, as unchanging and all powerful.
* Intentional or not, the female TTS voice that can be heard in the track largely resembles Automated Passenger Information System (PIS) TTS voices, which are used in train stations to automatically communicate and announce real-time travel information and safety alerts to passengers.

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* The track contains lyrics that seem to be spoken by a [[wikipedia:Speech synthesis|synthetic female voice]]. From what can be heard, they seem to be [[wikipedia:Word salad|nonsensical strings of babble]], such as "we noticed the required although they were refreshingly piped and" and "between various Grecian Bishops, it should be vastly seductive." The table below lists two transcription attempts, words and sentences appearing in both transcriptions are bolded.

* Sounds of rioting, unrest and police radio chatter can be heard in the beginning and underneath the text-to-speech voice.
* At 0:12, the track contains a sample of the Russian shortwave radio station [[wikipedia:UVB-76|UVB-76]], recorded on February 21st, 2006.<ref>{{#widget:YouTube|id=jOWExpS6q0c}}</ref> Known more widely as "The Buzzer", its broadcast consists of a repeating buzzing sound, which reserves the frequency. This buzzing is occasionally interrupted by short strings of numbers and text, like the one sampled on the track, which are presumed to be codes intended for military and/or intelligence purposes. This also appears to have been sampled on the [[2026_Promo_Campaign#VHS_Tape_Mailings|VHS tapes]] mailed to fans prior to the release of ''[[Inferno]]''.
* During the piano section of the track, what seems to be birds chirping can be heard, accompanied by garbled voices of children, which are a reoccurring element in the duo's past work.

== Trivia ==
* The melody in the piano section of this track bears a resemblance to a reoccurring piano melody in the docuseries “Waco: Madman or Messiah”, which is about the Waco Branch Davidian standoff and siege. [[Boards of Canada]] have referenced this incident many times.
* The synth sound in the track starting at 2:21 is reminiscent of the sound that could be heard throughout “[[Corsair]]” from [[Boards of Canada]]’s 2002 album [[Geogaddi]].

"[[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]]".

== 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.
* Timestamps in the table below correspond to the referenced YouTube video of the lecture. Words and phrases from the lecture have been combined to create new phrases altogether.

== 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.

== 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).
* The Continuous Mix version runs for exactly 70 minutes. This seems to be deliberate, as 70 has carried meaning to the band in the past. For example:
** [[Music70]] is the name of [[Mike Sandison|Mike]] and [[Marcus Eoin|Marcus]]'s own label.
** [[Sixtyten]] from [[Music Has the Right to Children|MHTRTC]] reads out as 70.
** [[The Smallest Weird Number]] from [[Geogaddi]] directly refers to 70, which is the smallest [[wikipedia:Weird number|weird number]]. Even though the track runs for 1:17, it cuts out at exactly 1:10, which is 70 seconds.
* 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.

Amo Bishop Roden

Mr udders: Rewritten opening paragraph a bit

{{Infobox Song|
| name=Amo Bishop Roden
| runtime=6:12
| appearson=[[In a Beautiful Place out in the Country (release)|In a Beautiful Place out in the Country EP]]}}

'''Amo Bishop Roden''' is the second track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s 2000 EP ''[[In a Beautiful Place out in the Country (release)|In a Beautiful Place out in the Country]]''. The track is named after Amo Bishop Roden, a member of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_Davidians Branch Davidians] and the wife of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Roden George Roden], former leader of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_Davidians Branch Davidians]. Amo Bishop Roden and the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_Davidians Branch Davidians] have been referenced on a number of [[Boards of Canada]] tracks, including "[[1969]]", Boards of Canada's remix of "[[Slag_Boom_Van_Loon_-_Poppy_Seed|Poppy Seed]]", and the title track from "[[In a Beautiful Place out in the Country (release)|In a Beautiful Place out in the Country]]".

== Trivia ==
'''Amo Paul Bishop Roden''' is the former wife of [[wikipedia:George_Roden|George Roden]], a rival of [[wikipedia:David Koresh|David Koresh]] for leadership of the [[wikipedia:Branch Davidians|Branch Davidians]]. After the 1993 fire, she attracted notice by beginning a one-woman reoccupation of the sect's Mount Carmel property. At one point in her reoccupation, when another ex-husband, Tom Drake, rejoined her, she was also known as Amo Paul Bishop Roden Drake or Amo Roden Drake.

Amo and George Roden married in October 1987, shortly after meeting. (Since George's divorce from his wife Carmen would not be finalized until February 28, 1998, her detractors question the legitimacy of their common law arrangement.) George, son of Branch Davidian founders Benjamin and Lois Roden, claimed leadership of the sect, but faced challengers, including David Koresh (then named Vernon Howell). Just weeks later, Koresh led a band of followers onto Mt. Carmel, ending up in a shootout with George. The next year, Koresh's supporters reclaimed Mt. Carmel and expelled Amo. Her brief time with George left her pregnant with their daughter.

The standoff with the government five years later decimated Koresh's group, giving Amo the opportunity to move onto the Mt. Carmel grounds. In November 1994, she had an armed standoff with a group that included future militia figure Ron Cole. The legal case between her and surviving Koresh loyalists is still being fought in the courts, but has taken a twist following the recent takeover of the site by Charles Pace, another Branch Davidian leader.

Amo Roden also drew attention in 2001, when she drove to the Oklahoma City bombing memorial site in her pickup truck with Branch Davidian slogans, creating a brief bomb scare.

She has written many tracts and pamphlets explaining her version of events and her religious ideas. Major tracts include Cracking the Coverup, The Second Standoff, Babylon Is Fallen: The Legacy of David Koresh, and Scrapbook of a Protest.

Academic James Faubion has also written a book about her, titled The Shadows and Lights of Waco.

== 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.
* "[[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).
* The Continuous Mix version runs for exactly 70 minutes. This seems to be deliberate, as 70 has carried meaning to the band in the past. For example:
** [[Music70]] is the name of [[Mike Sandison|Mike]] and [[Marcus Eoin|Marcus]]'s own label.
** [[Sixtyten]] from [[Music Has the Right to Children|MHTRTC]] reads out as 70.
** [[The Smallest Weird Number]] from [[Geogaddi]] directly refers to 70, which is the smallest [[wikipedia:Weird number|weird number]]. Even though the track runs for 1:17, it cuts out at exactly 1:10, which is 70 seconds.

Mr udders: Edited to say that the accompanying music is Deep Time

{{Infobox Song|

| runtime=3:21

[[Tape 05]] is a video uploaded to [[Boards of Canada]]'s official YouTube channel at 3pm BST on April 16th 2026.

2026 Promo Campaign

2026-05-06T14:49:00Z

Mr udders: Fixed link

In early April 2026, a handful of [[Boards of Canada]] fans received mysterious [[#VHS Tape Mailings|VHS tapes]] marked with a logo consisting of seven tessellated hexagons, immediately leading to speculation that [[Boards of Canada]] were signalling their long-awaited return following 2013's ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]''. The [[#VHS Tape Mailings|VHS tapes]] were allegedly sent through distribution channels linked to [[Warp Records]] and its retail arm [[Bleep.com|Bleep]], reinforcing speculation that the tapes are connected to [[Boards of Canada]].<ref>https://nl.ra.co/news/84925</ref> Since April 10, mysterious [[#Posters|posters]] containing the same hexagon logo as the [[#VHS Tape Mailings|VHS tapes]] have appeared in [[wikipedia:Soho|Soho, London, UK]] and [[wikipedia:Hollywood,_Los_Angeles|Hollywood, California, USA]].

On April 16th, [[Boards of Canada]] uploaded a video entitled "[[Tape 05]]" to their YouTube channel and other social media, which contained a previously unreleased 3-minute ambient track. On April 22nd, [[Boards of Canada]] announced their fifth studio album - ''[[Inferno]]'' - to be released on May 29th 2026 via the band's longtime label [[Warp Records|Warp]].

On May 6th [[Boards of Canada]] announced a music video for "[[Introit]]" and "[[Prophecy At 1420 MHz]]", the first two tracks on ''[[Inferno]]'', to be released the following day. This effectively serves as the official lead single for the album.

No other markings.<ref>https://www.discogs.com/release/36993321-Boards-Of-Canada-2026-VHS-Promo%20Tape%201</ref> It should be noted that on the mailing label, ''Ochre'', in the sender's name, '''Ochre Logistics Limited''', is a type of orange coloring. Orange is a well-known color reference in [[Boards of Canada]]'s [[Discography|discography]]. However, Ochre is also the name of the platform Bleep runs on, and it is likely the tapes come from Bleep. It has been speculated that the 2025 BoC merch on Bleep was used to collect the postal addresses of the best people to send the tapes to.

There's a [[:Category:VHS Tape Mailings|gallery]] available with some additional tape photos.

=== April 6, 2026 ===

The first known VHS tapes were received on this date, all in NTSC format.

==== Analysis: Moody Bible Institute ====

* Moody Bible Institute AD is the Audio on VHS (2026-04-07) ([https://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/comments/1sfbprj/moody_bible_institute_ad_is_the_audio_on_vhs/ reddit])

The vocal track on the tape:

"In every new issue of the monthly magazine for seekers everywhere, devotees arrive with exclusive supersonic flexi-disks bearing voices and music that strike the heart. Subscribe now, every month find a record with devotion with a hexagonal sound disc. Discover the new issue: six-sided flexible carrying high-fidelity recordings from the MBI Institute. Hear the patterns, follow the shapes. This marks the first low of a strange dessert, reflections and source of life. Now with your first issue, you'll receive the exclusive flexi-hexidisc, a hexagon of sound. Six voices and music to guide your path. Subscribe today, discover the New Month's journey. Each issue brings insight into devotion and a unique exodus of voices and music to guide your path. The guide is the light that calls them, music and spoken words to make way clear. **The first issue is free**. From the first line to the last word, the message is clear. It's monthly devotion, revelation, and the exclusive hexasong from the desk. All for only 2.95, call now."

<blockquote>
I posted this in a thread earlier today about the isolated vocal track, but wanted to add some new details. I'm almost certain this audio is an ad for Moody Monthly Magazine which was a publication of Moody Bible Institute (a private Christian bible school based in Chicago) that stopped publishing around 1991.

The beginning of the vocal mentions a monthly magazine, then after talking about a "free hexagonal flexi disc", it says it "features a recording from the MBI Institute", which, when you google that, comes up as Moody Bible Institute.

At the end, the voice says "all for $2.95". I looked for copies of Moody Monthly on EBay and from 1989-91, the magazine cost...$2.95! You can find most of the issues from those years on Ebay but none of the few photos that I saw mention a special flexi disc. [https://www.ebay.com/shop/moody-monthly-magazine?_nkw=moody+monthly+magazine]

The school has a pretty vast archive library, so I called them today to see if they might know about the flexi disc in the magazine. The person I spoke with didn't but mentioned the head archivist was out today. If you happen to live in Chicago, you can schedule an appointment to visit the library and check!

Moody has a radio station that is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year<ref>https://www.moodyradio.org/landing-pages/100-years/</ref><ref>https://www.moodyradio.org/stations/chicago?appeal=GAW&opti_ca=12032419815&opti_ag=121707183968&opti_ad=490700854979&opti_key=kwd-890658849097&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=12032419815</ref>

I'm guessing the audio is from an ad for the magazine that aired on the radio station at some point between 1989 and 91.

I also have this theory that the VHS copies aren't just about a new release, but maybe a "golden ticket" to an exclusive live event that the recipients will get tickets to if they can somehow decode info on the VHS.

2026 Promo Campaign

2026-05-06T14:48:37Z

Mr udders: Added Introit/1420MHz video info

In early April 2026, a handful of [[Boards of Canada]] fans received mysterious [[#VHS Tape Mailings|VHS tapes]] marked with a logo consisting of seven tessellated hexagons, immediately leading to speculation that [[Boards of Canada]] were signalling their long-awaited return following 2013's ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]''. The [[#VHS Tape Mailings|VHS tapes]] were allegedly sent through distribution channels linked to [[Warp Records]] and its retail arm [[Bleep.com|Bleep]], reinforcing speculation that the tapes are connected to [[Boards of Canada]].<ref>https://nl.ra.co/news/84925</ref> Since April 10, mysterious [[#Posters|posters]] containing the same hexagon logo as the [[#VHS Tape Mailings|VHS tapes]] have appeared in [[wikipedia:Soho|Soho, London, UK]] and [[wikipedia:Hollywood,_Los_Angeles|Hollywood, California, USA]].

On April 16th, [[Boards of Canada]] uploaded a video entitled "[[Tape 05]]" to their YouTube channel and other social media, which contained a previously unreleased 3-minute ambient track. On April 22nd, [[Boards of Canada]] announced their fifth studio album - ''[[Inferno]]'' - to be released on May 29th 2026 via the band's longtime label [[Warp Records|Warp]].

On May 6th [[Boards of Canada]] announced a music video for "[[Introit]]" and "[[Prophecy at 1420 MHz]]", the first two tracks on ''[[Inferno]]'', to be released the following day. This effectively serves as the official lead single for the album.

== VHS Tape Mailings ==
=== Description ===
Possible official Promo - NTSC/PAL Cassette Tapes with Black Matte paper casing. 7 Hexagons screened in white on top of VHS tape with white NTSC/PAL sticker. No other markings.<ref>https://www.discogs.com/release/36993321-Boards-Of-Canada-2026-VHS-Promo%20Tape%201</ref> It should be noted that on the mailing label, ''Ochre'', in the sender's name, '''Ochre Logistics Limited''', is a type of orange coloring. Orange is a well-known color reference in [[Boards of Canada]]'s [[Discography|discography]]. However, Ochre is also the name of the platform Bleep runs on, and it is likely the tapes come from Bleep. It has been speculated that the 2025 BoC merch on Bleep was used to collect the postal addresses of the best people to send the tapes to.

There's a [[:Category:VHS Tape Mailings|gallery]] available with some additional tape photos.

=== April 6, 2026 ===

The first known VHS tapes were received on this date, all in NTSC format.

==== Analysis: Moody Bible Institute ====

* Moody Bible Institute AD is the Audio on VHS (2026-04-07) ([https://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/comments/1sfbprj/moody_bible_institute_ad_is_the_audio_on_vhs/ reddit])

The vocal track on the tape:

"In every new issue of the monthly magazine for seekers everywhere, devotees arrive with exclusive supersonic flexi-disks bearing voices and music that strike the heart. Subscribe now, every month find a record with devotion with a hexagonal sound disc. Discover the new issue: six-sided flexible carrying high-fidelity recordings from the MBI Institute.

It's monthly devotion, revelation, and the exclusive hexasong from the desk. All for only 2.95, call now."

<blockquote>
I posted this in a thread earlier today about the isolated vocal track, but wanted to add some new details. I'm almost certain this audio is an ad for Moody Monthly Magazine which was a publication of Moody Bible Institute (a private Christian bible school based in Chicago) that stopped publishing around 1991.

The beginning of the vocal mentions a monthly magazine, then after talking about a "free hexagonal flexi disc", it says it "features a recording from the MBI Institute", which, when you google that, comes up as Moody Bible Institute.

At the end, the voice says "all for $2.95". I looked for copies of Moody Monthly on EBay and from 1989-91, the magazine cost...$2.95! You can find most of the issues from those years on Ebay but none of the few photos that I saw mention a special flexi disc. [https://www.ebay.com/shop/moody-monthly-magazine?_nkw=moody+monthly+magazine]

The school has a pretty vast archive library, so I called them today to see if they might know about the flexi disc in the magazine. The person I spoke with didn't but mentioned the head archivist was out today. If you happen to live in Chicago, you can schedule an appointment to visit the library and check!

Moody has a radio station that is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year<ref>https://www.moodyradio.org/landing-pages/100-years/</ref><ref>https://www.moodyradio.org/stations/chicago?appeal=GAW&opti_ca=12032419815&opti_ag=121707183968&opti_ad=490700854979&opti_key=kwd-890658849097&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=12032419815</ref>

I'm guessing the audio is from an ad for the magazine that aired on the radio station at some point between 1989 and 91.

I also have this theory that the VHS copies aren't just about a new release, but maybe a "golden ticket" to an exclusive live event that the recipients will get tickets to if they can somehow decode info on the VHS.

Mr udders: Italicised album title

{{Infobox Song|

| runtime=3:21
| appearson=[[Inferno]] (potentially)}}

[[Tape 05]] is a video uploaded to [[Boards of Canada]]'s official YouTube channel at 3pm BST on April 16th 2026. The video contains a previously unreleased 3-minute ambient track accompanied by visuals reminiscent of the [[2026 Promo Campaign|VHS tapes]] sent out by the band in early April 2026. It serves as a trailer for [[Boards of Canada]]'s upcoming [[LP5|fifth studio album]] ''[[Inferno]]''.

2026 Promo Campaign

2026-04-25T20:09:42Z

Mr udders: Added info on Tape 05 and Inferno announcement to the opening paragraph

In early April 2026, a handful of [[Boards of Canada]] fans received mysterious [[#VHS Tape Mailings|VHS tapes]] marked with a logo consisting of seven tessellated hexagons, immediately leading to speculation that [[Boards of Canada]] were signalling their long-awaited return following 2013's ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]''. The [[#VHS Tape Mailings|VHS tapes]] were allegedly sent through distribution channels linked to [[Warp Records]] and its retail arm [[Bleep.com|Bleep]], reinforcing speculation that the tapes are connected to [[Boards of Canada]].<ref>https://nl.ra.co/news/84925</ref> Since April 10, mysterious [[#Posters|posters]] containing the same hexagon logo as the [[#VHS Tape Mailings|VHS tapes]] have appeared in [[wikipedia:Soho|Soho, London, UK]] and [[wikipedia:Hollywood,_Los_Angeles|Hollywood, California, USA]].

On April 16th, [[Boards of Canada]] uploaded a video entitled "[[Tape 05]]" to their YouTube channel and other social media, which contained a previously unreleased 3-minute ambient track. On April 22nd, [[Boards of Canada]] announced their fifth studio album - ''[[Inferno]]'' - to be released on May 29th 2026 via the band's longtime label [[Warp Records|Warp]].

Possible official Promo - NTSC/PAL Cassette Tapes with Black Matte paper casing. 7 Hexagons screened in white on top of VHS tape with white NTSC/PAL sticker. No other markings.<ref>https://www.discogs.com/release/36993321-Boards-Of-Canada-2026-VHS-Promo%20Tape%201</ref> It should be noted that on the mailing label, ''Ochre'', in the sender's name, '''Ochre Logistics Limited''', is a type of orange coloring. Orange is a well-known color reference in [[Boards of Canada]]'s [[Discography|discography]]. However, Ochre is also the name of the platform Bleep runs on, and it is likely the tapes come from Bleep. It has been speculated that the 2025 BoC merch on Bleep was used to collect the postal addresses of the best people to send the tapes to.

There's a [[:Category:VHS Tape Mailings|gallery]] available with some additional tape photos.

=== April 6, 2026 ===

The first known VHS tapes were received on this date, all in NTSC format.

==== Analysis: Moody Bible Institute ====

* Moody Bible Institute AD is the Audio on VHS (2026-04-07) ([https://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/comments/1sfbprj/moody_bible_institute_ad_is_the_audio_on_vhs/ reddit])

The vocal track on the tape:

"In every new issue of the monthly magazine for seekers everywhere, devotees arrive with exclusive supersonic flexi-disks bearing voices and music that strike the heart. Subscribe now, every month find a record with devotion with a hexagonal sound disc. Discover the new issue: six-sided flexible carrying high-fidelity recordings from the MBI Institute. Hear the patterns, follow the shapes. This marks the first low of a strange dessert, reflections and source of life. Now with your first issue, you'll receive the exclusive flexi-hexidisc, a hexagon of sound. Six voices and music to guide your path. Subscribe today, discover the New Month's journey. Each issue brings insight into devotion and a unique exodus of voices and music to guide your path. The guide is the light that calls them, music and spoken words to make way clear. **The first issue is free**. From the first line to the last word, the message is clear. It's monthly devotion, revelation, and the exclusive hexasong from the desk. All for only 2.95, call now."

<blockquote>
I posted this in a thread earlier today about the isolated vocal track, but wanted to add some new details. I'm almost certain this audio is an ad for Moody Monthly Magazine which was a publication of Moody Bible Institute (a private Christian bible school based in Chicago) that stopped publishing around 1991.

The beginning of the vocal mentions a monthly magazine, then after talking about a "free hexagonal flexi disc", it says it "features a recording from the MBI Institute", which, when you google that, comes up as Moody Bible Institute.

At the end, the voice says "all for $2.95". I looked for copies of Moody Monthly on EBay and from 1989-91, the magazine cost...$2.95! You can find most of the issues from those years on Ebay but none of the few photos that I saw mention a special flexi disc. [https://www.ebay.com/shop/moody-monthly-magazine?_nkw=moody+monthly+magazine]

The school has a pretty vast archive library, so I called them today to see if they might know about the flexi disc in the magazine. The person I spoke with didn't but mentioned the head archivist was out today. If you happen to live in Chicago, you can schedule an appointment to visit the library and check!

Moody has a radio station that is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year<ref>https://www.moodyradio.org/landing-pages/100-years/</ref><ref>https://www.moodyradio.org/stations/chicago?appeal=GAW&opti_ca=12032419815&opti_ag=121707183968&opti_ad=490700854979&opti_key=kwd-890658849097&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=12032419815</ref>

I'm guessing the audio is from an ad for the magazine that aired on the radio station at some point between 1989 and 91.

I also have this theory that the VHS copies aren't just about a new release, but maybe a "golden ticket" to an exclusive live event that the recipients will get tickets to if they can somehow decode info on the VHS.

== Announcement ==

The album was officially announced on April 22nd 2026, following over a decade of speculation and a substantial uptick in activity on [[Boards of Canada]]'s social media and affiliated web properties through 2025 and into early 2026.

For the prior period of anticipation and speculation, see the article [[Road to Inferno]].

=== Official Statements ===

* [[Marcus Eoin]], June 2013: "It feels like neither of those things from our perspective because we've always been working! We'd be making music anyway even if nobody was listening, and '''we've no intention of stopping''', so this is just a continuation." — in response to the question "Is this record a new beginning or maybe the end? How does it feel for you?", from the interview [[The Charms of the Sphinx]].

* [[MDG]], June 2022: "Nothing specific I'm allowed to share yet unfortunately, just that '''a new album is on its way'''."

* [[Bleep.com|Bleep]], April 2023: "we don't know '''when''' the new [[BoC]] album is coming" — note the use of ''when'' rather than ''if'', implying the album was confirmed to be in progress.<ref>https://bleep.com/newsletters/boards-of-canada--music-has-the-right-to-children-25th-anv-1</ref>

* [[Boards of Canada|BoC]]'s official [https://www.threads.net/@boardsofcanada Threads], July 2023: "Follow here for '''future news''' & '''announcements''' etc."

''Main article: [[LP5]]''

=== Cosecha Transmisiones ===

''Main article: [[Cosecha-transmisiones.com]]''

On '''1 May 2025''', users on [[Twoism (messageboard)|Twoism]] and [https://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada r/boardsofcanada] noticed that the website [[Cosecha-transmisiones.com|cosecha-transmisiones.com]]—originally used in the promotion of ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]''—had been updated to read:

<code>nobody home... /// -. --- -... --- -.. -.-- / .... --- -- . .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.-</code>

Over the following months the site displayed various errors and server configuration sites before being redirected to the original [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2lyYEUPat8 ''Tomorrow's Harvest'' Transmission] video on 29 August 2025. These changes have not been acknowledged publically.

=== New Merchandise ===

On '''6 June 2025''', new [[Boards of Canada]] merchandise was announced and exclusively available at [[Bleep.com|Bleep]], produced on unisex Stanley and Stella blanks with a [[Boards of Canada]] neck label.<ref>https://bleep.com/boards-of-canada-2025-merchandise</ref><ref>https://warp.net/artists/boards-of-canada</ref><ref>https://bsky.app/profile/bleep.com/post/3lqxaqw2mj22s</ref><ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/DKkNBcdIEfz/?img_index=1</ref> Shipping from Bleep's UK and USA warehouses began on 11 June.

On '''15 August 2025''', [[Boards of Canada]] uploaded a ''[[Twoism (release)|Twoism]]'' 30th-anniversary celebration video to their social media accounts.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/DNYMbzWMJIZ/</ref><ref>https://www.threads.com/@boardsofcanada/post/DNYN0UYMSVj</ref><ref>https://bsky.app/profile/boardsofcanada.bsky.social/post/3lwhdn4y3vk2d</ref><ref>https://x.com/boardsofcanada/status/1956358894902550775</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/boardsofcanada/videos/1494936234977208</ref> The band's first publicly-available vinyl mini album ''[[Twoism (release)|Twoism]]''—originally limited to 100 copies in 1995—was made available through [[Bleep.com]].

On the same post, [[Boards of Canada]] liked a large batch of comments speculating about a forthcoming album.

== 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 refer to concepts in cosmology and physics heavily.

* 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 Psalm 1:14] of the Book 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.
* "[[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.
* "[[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 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 mathematically and physically significant in several ways:'''
** It is the '''third perfect number''' — a positive integer equal to the sum of its proper divisors: 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 31 + 62 + 124 + 248 = 496. The first two perfect numbers are 6 and 28. 496 = 2<sup>4</sup>·(2<sup>5</sup> − 1), where 31 is a [[wikipedia:Mersenne prime|Mersenne prime]].
** It is the '''31st [[wikipedia:Triangular number|triangular number]]''' — the sum of all integers from 1 to 31.
** In theoretical physics, '''496 is the dimension of the gauge groups E<sub>8</sub>×E<sub>8</sub> and SO(32)''' — the two groups that allow [[wikipedia:Heterotic string|heterotic string theory]] to be anomaly-free under the [[wikipedia:Green–Schwarz mechanism|Green–Schwarz mechanism]] (1984). It is one of the most recognisable numbers in 20th-century mathematical physics.
** The choice is consistent with [[Boards of Canada]]'s history of numerical encoding (e.g. ''[[Geogaddi]]'' contains 23 tracks tied to the "23 Enigma" / Discordianism, a 66:06 running time read as 666, and a Japanese release date of 13 February 2002 keyed to Revelation 13:18) and with the album's pervasive physics and cosmology references — see "[[Prophecy At 1420 MHz]]", "[[Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan]]", "[[Deep Time]]" and "[[I Saw Through Platonia]]".

* The album runs for 69:51. However, a companion digital release - '''''Inferno (Continuous Mix)''''', runs for exactly 70 minutes. This seems to be deliberate, as 70 has carried meaning in the band's past releases. For example:
** '''''[[Music70]]''''' is the name of [[Mike Sandison|Mike]] and [[Marcus Eoin|Marcus]]'s own label, owned and operated out of [[Hexagon Sun]].
** '''"[[Sixtyten]]"''' (on ''[[Music Has the Right to Children]]'', 1998) - the title is the number '''70 written out as "sixty + ten"'''. The track's own lyric samples even extract their Earth, Wind & Fire source from '''1:10''' of the original record, which is 70 seconds.
** '''"[[The Smallest Weird Number]]"''' (track 9 on ''[[Geogaddi]]'', 2002) directly refers to '''70''', the smallest [[wikipedia:Weird number|weird number]] (an [[wikipedia:Abundant number|abundant]] integer that is not [[wikipedia:Semiperfect number|semiperfect]]). Although the track runs 1:17, its melody cuts out at exactly '''1:10 — i.e. 70 seconds'''.

Road to Inferno

Mr udders: Rewritten opening paragraph due to announcement of Inferno

[[Inferno]], the fifth studio album by [[Boards of Canada]] was announced on April 22nd 2026 and scheduled for release on May 29th of the same year, following a number of years of seemingly increased public activity from [[Boards of Canada]]. Their fifth album was confirmed to be in production in June 2022 by their online representative, [[MDG]], in a private message to [[Twoism (messageboard)|Twoism]] user babylulu. Subsequent increasing levels of activity leading up to the announcement caused much speculation of the possibility of a new [[Boards of Canada]] album.

== Confirmation ==

=== Official Statements ===
* [[Marcus Eoin]], June 2013: "It feels like neither of those things from our perspective because we've always been working! We'd be making music anyway even if nobody was listening, and '''we've no intention of stopping''', so this is just a continuation." said in response to the question "Is this record a new beginning or maybe the end? How does it feel for you?", from the interview [[The Charms of the Sphinx]].

* [[MDG]], June 2022: "Nothing specific I'm allowed to share yet unfortunately, just that '''a new album is on its way'''."

''Main article: [[Cosecha-transmisiones.com]]''

On '''May 1st 2025''', users on [[Twoism (messageboard)|Twoism]] and [https://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/| r/boardsofcanada] noticed that the website [[Cosecha-transmisiones.com|cosecha-transmisiones.com]], originally used in the promotion of [[Tomorrow's Harvest]], had been updated to simply read:

<code>nobody home... /// -. --- -... --- -.. -.-- / .... --- -- . .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.-</code>

Over the next few months various changes were made to the site, with it displaying a variety of error messages at different times amongst other things, before it was simply redirected to the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2lyYEUPat8 Tomorrow's Harvest Transmission] video on August 29th 2025. The reason for or significance of the activity remains unclear, although it appears not to be directly related to a new [[Boards of Canada]] release.

==== New Merchandise ====
On June 6th 2025, new [[Boards of Canada]] merchandise is announced and exclusively available at [[Bleep.com|Bleep]]. Produced on unisex Stanley and Stella blanks, with a [[Boards of Canada]] neck label. Shipping from Bleep's UK and USA warehouses began on June 11th.<ref>https://bleep.com/boards-of-canada-2025-merchandise</ref><ref>https://warp.net/artists/boards-of-canada</ref><ref>https://bsky.app/profile/bleep.com/post/3lqxaqw2mj22s</ref><ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/DKkNBcdIEfz/?img_index=1</ref>

It has been widely speculated that this release of new merchandise may be a prelude to an announcement of a new album.

==== Twoism 30 ====
On August 15th 2025, [[Boards of Canada]] uploaded a ''[[Twoism (release)|Twoism]]'' celebration video to their social media accounts.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/DNYMbzWMJIZ/</ref><ref>https://www.threads.com/@boardsofcanada/post/DNYN0UYMSVj</ref><ref>https://bsky.app/profile/boardsofcanada.bsky.social/post/3lwhdn4y3vk2d</ref><ref>https://x.com/boardsofcanada/status/1956358894902550775</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/boardsofcanada/videos/1494936234977208</ref> Their first publicly-available vinyl mini album ''[[Twoism (release)|Twoism]]'', originally a limited run of only 100 vinyl copies, is available today at [[Bleep.com]].

[[Boards of Canada]] took the opportunity to like a lot of [https://www.instagram.com/p/DNYMbzWMJIZ/ comments on their Instagram post] revolving around the topic of new music.

=== Other Noteworthy Statements & Activity ===
* [[Bleep.com|Bleep]], April 2023: "we don't know when the new [[BoC]] album is coming"<ref>https://bleep.com/newsletters/boards-of-canada--music-has-the-right-to-children-25th-anv-1</ref>. Note the use of ''''when'''' rather than ''''if'''' implying that the album is confirmed to be in progress.

== Speculation ==
* There have been many theories concerning potential release dates of [[LP5]], or announcements relating to it. So far most of these dates have passed with no discernible activity from [[Boards of Canada]].
* Many speculated a 2025 release date to coincide with the 30th anniversary of [[Boards of Canada]]'s first official release, ''[[Twoism (release)|Twoism]]''. Notably, there was a substantial increase in activity on [[Boards of Canada]]'s social media accounts in late 2024 and the first half of 2025. Despite this, no release or major announcements materialised, and a release date for [[LP5]] has yet to be confirmed.

In early April 2026, a handful of [[Boards of Canada]] fans received mysterious [[VHS Tape Mailings#Tapes|VHS tapes]] marked with a logo consisting of seven tessellated hexagons, immediately leading to speculation that [[Boards of Canada]] were signalling their long-awaited return following 2013's ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]''. The [[VHS Tape Mailings#Tapes|VHS tapes]] were allegedly sent through distribution channels linked to [[Warp Records]] and its retail arm [[Bleep.com|Bleep]], reinforcing speculation that the tapes are connected to [[Boards of Canada]].<ref>https://nl.ra.co/news/84925</ref> Since April 10, mysterious [[VHS Tape Mailings#Posters|posters]] containing the same hexagon logo as the [[VHS Tape Mailings#Tapes|VHS tapes]] have appeared in Soho, London.

Possible official Promo - NTSC/PAL Cassette Tapes with Black Matte paper casing. 7 Hexagons screened in white on top of VHS tape with white NTSC/PAL sticker. No other markings.<ref>https://www.discogs.com/release/36993321-Boards-Of-Canada-2026-VHS-Promo%20Tape%201</ref> It should be noted that on the mailing label, ''Ochre'', in the sender's name, '''Ochre Logistics Limited''', is a type of orange coloring. Orange is a well-known color reference in [[Boards of Canada]]'s [[Discography|discography]]. However, Ochre is also the name of the platform Bleep runs on, and it is likely the tapes come from Bleep. It has been speculated that the 2025 BoC merch on Bleep was used to collect the postal addresses of the best people to send the tapes to.

=== Analysis ===

* Moody Bible Institute AD is the Audio on VHS (2026-04-07) ([https://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/comments/1sfbprj/moody_bible_institute_ad_is_the_audio_on_vhs/ reddit])

The vocal track on the tape:

"In every new issue of the monthly magazine for seekers everywhere, devotees arrive with exclusive supersonic flexi-disks bearing voices and music that strike the heart. Subscribe now, every month find a record with devotion with a hexagonal sound disc. Discover the new issue: six-sided flexible carrying high-fidelity recordings from the MBI Institute. Hear the patterns, follow the shapes. This marks the first low of a strange dessert, reflections and source of life. Now with your first issue, you'll receive the exclusive flexi-hexidisc, a hexagon of sound. Six voices and music to guide your path. Subscribe today, discover the New Month's journey. Each issue brings insight into devotion and a unique exodus of voices and music to guide your path. The guide is the light that calls them, music and spoken words to make way clear. **The first issue is free**. From the first line to the last word, the message is clear. It's monthly devotion, revelation, and the exclusive hexasong from the desk. All for only 2.95, call now."

<blockquote>
I posted this in a thread earlier today about the isolated vocal track, but wanted to add some new details. I'm almost certain this audio is an ad for Moody Monthly Magazine which was a publication of Moody Bible Institute (a private Christian bible school based in Chicago) that stopped publishing around 1991.

The beginning of the vocal mentions a monthly magazine, then after talking about a "free hexagonal flexi disc", it says it "features a recording from the MBI Institute", which, when you google that, comes up as Moody Bible Institute.

At the end, the voice says "all for $2.95". I looked for copies of Moody Monthly on EBay and from 1989-91, the magazine cost...$2.95! You can find most of the issues from those years on Ebay but none of the few photos that I saw mention a special flexi disc. [https://www.ebay.com/shop/moody-monthly-magazine?_nkw=moody+monthly+magazine]

The school has a pretty vast archive library, so I called them today to see if they might know about the flexi disc in the magazine. The person I spoke with didn't but mentioned the head archivist was out today. If you happen to live in Chicago, you can schedule an appointment to visit the library and check!

Moody has a radio station that is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year<ref>https://www.moodyradio.org/landing-pages/100-years/</ref><ref>https://www.moodyradio.org/stations/chicago?appeal=GAW&opti_ca=12032419815&opti_ag=121707183968&opti_ad=490700854979&opti_key=kwd-890658849097&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=12032419815</ref>

I'm guessing the audio is from an ad for the magazine that aired on the radio station at some point between 1989 and 91.

I also have this theory that the VHS copies aren't just about a new release, but maybe a "golden ticket" to an exclusive live event that the recipients will get tickets to if they can somehow decode info on the VHS.

Sick Times

Mr udders: Reverted previous edit

{{Infobox Song|
| name=Sick Times
| runtime=4:16
| appearson=[[Tomorrow's Harvest|Tomorrow's Harvest]]}}

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* Narratively, this track follows the upstart of a new civilization as presented in "[[Transmisiones Ferox]]". They ultimately become "sick" and eventually die off, as presented in "[[Collapse]]".

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* Around 1:46 a voice appears to say 'thank you'. Further unintelligible vocal samples continue throughout the track.
* At 2:15, 2:24, 2:33, & 2:42 a modulated voice appears in the left channel saying "You'll do anything"
* A looping sample appears after 2:15 saying 'six.'
* Starting at 2:15, there's a high-pitched vocal out the right channel that says "chemtrails" with a sibilant "s" when reversed.
* At 3:00, a female voice says "I have a feeling that we will have been..."
* At 3:14, a sample is heard that can also be heard at 2:42 in "[[Rue the Whirl]]" from ''[[MHTRTC]].''
* At 3:16, a female voice says "Thirty."
*At 3:55, iconic [https://youtu.be/75V4ClJZME4 Doctor Who theme] plays, heard briefly.
* Directly after the 'thank you' sample, a voice in the right channel may be responding with 'goodbye' or 'goodnight'. [AB]

== Trivia ==
* Sick Times could be a reference to the First of Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Pestilence.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Apocalypse</ref>

* The version on "Psychogeographic X" is a slightly different cut from the original. Discogs user Onanon [https://www.discogs.com/Various-Psychogeographic-X/release/20858#comment296372 describes] this version best by saying:

<blockquote>
"This version of "[[Sixtyniner]]" is different from the one as released on ''[[Twoism_(release)|Twoism]]''. The Diskono version is a little bit faster, the nostalgic main melody is more at the front, the intermezzo breaks are more detailed and the 'first kiss' story is easier to understand. The bass is not as deep as on ''[[Twoism_(release)|Twoism]]''. After 4.14 the main melody is gone and won't return as the higher melody continues over the beat. The ''[[Twoism_(release)|Twoism]]'' version continues to play the melody 'till the end but the beats disappear earlier. Overall this version sounds clearer. The ''[[Twoism_(release)|Twoism]]'' version sounds more sad in a way."

* One possible meaning of the title: [http://www.realdictionary.com/S/dir/soixanteneuf.asp sixty-nine or soixante-neuf], in relation to the fact that the lyrics are from a porn film; credit, [sixtytenth]. But it may also be significant that there are tracks called "[[Sixtyniner]]", "[[1969]]", and "[[June 9th]]" (6/9). [DC]
* The melody strongly resembles that of ''[[Music Is Math]]'' from [[Boards of Canada]]'s second officially released LP, ''[[Geogaddi]]''.
*A manipulated segment of the recorder sample used from 2:35 to 2:56 can be heard in "[[A Is To B As B Is To C]]", also from ''[[Geogaddi]]''.
*The background music during the monologue sample of "Summer of '72" is eerily similar to the melody of "[[The Color of the Fire]]" / "[[I Love U]]".

==Samples / Lyrics==
* At approximately 2:16, there is a vocal sample of a monologue taken (the sample has been sped up) @1:06:35 from the adult film [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128647/ "Summer of '72"].

<blockquote>
That tiny room at the beach was absolutely the perfect place for my first time. When we came together, I could feel the hairs growing on my chest. I saw my future. I saw my past. For a few minutes it was like being alive and they live happily ever after. All my questions had been answered. And all my fears disappeared. All that was left was... the kiss.

==== Sale of Mike Paradinas' tapes ====
* In December 2025, it became clear that the following three tapes belonging to [[wikipedia:Mike Paradinas|Mike Paradinas]]: [[A Few Old Tunes]], [[Old Tunes Vol. 2]], and [[BoC Maxima]], were sold for a considerable amount<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/comments/1pd773j/comment/ns2voe8/</ref> to a Reddit user, FutMob1le<ref>https://www.reddit.com/user/FutMob1le/</ref>, whose account has since been closed.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/comments/1pd773j/thank_you_mike/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/video/qg8fmemc715g1</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/video/i6ekibztf85g1</ref>.

==== Photocopied Fakes ====
On May 14th, 2025, [[wikipedia:Mike Paradinas|Mike Paradinas]] confirmed in an AMA that the supposed 2013 destroying of the tapes was done on photopcopied fakes and not the genuine copies in response to a question regarding the background music used in the videos:

=== 2011 ===
In 2011, posts appeared on the review page for the [[A Few Old Tunes]] release on [discogs.com discogs.com], claiming to be by recipients of the original cassette tapes from [[Mike]] and [[Marcus|Marcus Sandison]]. [[http://www.discogs.com/reviews/list?release=690476]]
<blockquote>"This might not be the strongest evidence of its 'authenticity', but a producer-friend of mine from the UK once received a copy directly from [[Mike]] & [[Marcus]]. At some point a girlfriend of his stole it and it made its way onto eBay via her new partner. I don't remember whether he ever got it back or not... since he was an old friend of the duo (and not one of us fanboys!) it didn't really matter to him that much if I recall correctly." <i> - originalnlogax, Jan 18, 2011</i></blockquote>

<blockquote>To wind up the authenticity issues, yes, myself and another producer received old tunes one and 2 as christmas presents from Mike and Marcus, and we made copies of each one, so we had a cassette of both each.

The images that were seen on the now slightly legendary $900 Ebay auction were of my 1 original and a copy, with my handwriting in blue paint pen.

The stories vary from the wildy inaccurate to the half true, how the tapes wound up on EBAY.

Here`s what happened.

While living in the USA, I used to visit my then girlfriend,a known ex moderator of the WATMM forum, Joanna Balsamo, AKA octavekitten in south florida, and after breaking up with her, she agreed to send back my belongings I had left at her house including the 2 OLD TUNES cassettes. I never recieved the package.

I was told it was lost in the mail with no tracking or return address.

Having no way of the tapes ever being returned to sender with no tracking info etc, they strangely then found their way into the hands of her next live -in boyfriend, who, after being told she was leaving town without him, tried to auction them off on Ebay to get rid of `parts of a past life` or some other post break up catharsis.

Ms. Balsamo never re-appeared on [[WATMM|WATMM forum]] to attempt to clear her name, and proceeded to reinvent herself a scenester in an unrelated music genre in another city. this procedure of bailing and reinvention is a repeating pattern with Ms. B as drama is a forte of hers according to numerous victims.

I was told the tapes that had been seen on ebay were copies of the originals and were not my property, but the large photographs that the auctioneer had posted in loving detail showing handwriting on the copied cassette, in blue paint pen proved this to be untrue.

The intervening party that got them off ebay was myself, and possibly [[BOC]], I intervened simply out of respect for [[BOC]] having an item given in trust to someone ending up being ausctioned for an extortionate amount of money.

The guy in question to my knowledge, still has them.. I called him at work once, he said hed send them back, but never did.

Hopefully that will finally clear up the story.<i> - datathief, Jul 12, 2011</i></blockquote>

=== 2005 ===
[[Hexagon_Sun_Official]] posted the following on [[WATMM]] on February 15, 2005, in response to the (subsequently cancelled) auction of original [[Old Tunes]] tapes on ebay by [[Prince Murat]];
<blockquote>
OK The reason it was jumped on was this: [[Warp]] and [[BOC]] have been in talks for a long while about<br>putting out a box set of old tracks from these tapes and others, with new packaging and art, to<br>be released sometime after the forthcoming record. The tapes were private comps given out to close<br>friends a few years ago, long before the band imagined there would be this kind of interest,<br>and long before the likes of Soulseek etc existed.<br>The tracks are out there now, nothing can be done about that, they've been circulating for a while<br>and fans have them, so the decision was taken to at least consider tidying them up and repackaging<br>them with decent exclusive artwork & more rarities. BOC never wanted these tracks presented this<br>way, mislabelled and as poor-quality MP3 files.<br>There's no 'hype', these comps were never listed on any old discogs as they were never intended<br>for mass release in the first place.<br>Now the intention is still to get round to scheduling a release of these tunes and other rare<br>comps, but unscrupulous people like '[[Prince Murat|prince murat]]' are obviously stealing the thunder of the<br>proposed releases, whilst trying to make a tidy profit in the process (a starting price of $799<br>speaks volumes about 'prince murat's true intentions. who is trying to profit from hype here?<br>if any money is going to be involved, surely the artist who wrote those tracks should be receiving<br>the royalties, and not this person? there's no difference between this kind of profiteering<br>and someone trying to sell a bootleg CDR of Beck's new album months prior to release.)<br>Anyway, now you know, we hope the intervention hasn't caused too much negative feeling,<br>after all the concern that [[Warp]] and [[BOC]] have is that basically it's going to spoil the<br>impact of a nice release that hopefully will be enjoyed by the fans.<br><br>-[[mark]], [[Hexagon Sun|hs]]

ATP-07

2026-01-25T21:59:39Z

Mr udders: Unaltered bootleg recording comes first

{{Infobox Song|
| name=ATP-07
| runtime=8:08
| appearson=[[Live @ ATP]]}}

''ATP-07'' is an unreleased track that was played as part of a live set at All Tomorrows Parties ([[Live @ ATP]]). No other recordings of this song are known to exist.

== Comments ==
* It has been speculated that this track is a reworked version of "[[Noatak]]" from Boards of Canada's unheard 1994 album ''[[Hooper Bay]]''. This is due to it being of a similar length to the ''Hooper Bay'' track, similarities between the high-pitched drone in the track's second half and the droning found in "[[Circle]]" (the only ''Hooper Bay'' track heard outside the band's friends and family), as well as the vocoded voice starting at 2:23 sounding like the word "Noatak" spoken in received pronunciation. However, there is no hard evidence to support this theory.
* [[ATP-07]] is structurally similar to "[[Nlogax]]" from [[Boards of Canada]]'s 1996 EP ''[[Hi Scores (release)|Hi Scores]]'', with a more straightforwardly techno-oriented first half followed by a gradual transition to a darker second half. The band stated in a [[A Bunker Full of Memories|1998 interview]]:
<blockquote>
"We sometimes make a tune metamorphose as it plays. An example is "[[Nlogax]]" from the ''[[Hi Scores]]'' EP on [[Skam]], which begins like an old electro or disco track but halfway through it suddenly becomes something nightmarish, like your brain is starting to malfunction in the middle of the tune. Psychedelics make music sound entirely different. Tiny details become massive, a five-minute track can feel like it's five hours long on psychedelics.
</blockquote>

== Samples/Lyrics ==
* 0:34 - A child saying "Louder!".
* 2:23 onward - A vocoded female voice possibly saying "Electric Star", "Glow in the dark", or "Noatak".
* 3:50 onward - A heavily processed and time-stretched sample of "Galactic Travel" by Peter Howell, which appears on ''[https://youtu.be/xw1vKPqOtO4?si=xEpAnNJ4jlPfS-QZ&t=73 Out of This World]'', a 1976 album by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Radiophonic_Workshop BBC Radiophonic Workshop] which compiled various ambient pieces and sound effects used in BBC programmes.
* 5:20 onward - A woman saying "See the rainbow".

Alternatively, the child at 0:34 could be saying "Robert". This may have been taken from an early episode of ''The Cosby Show'' in which the Cosby family meets Stevie Wonder. (not confirmed)<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIm6xmOyO6Q</ref>

== Crowd noise ==
As an audience recording, there is constant noise throughout the recording from the crowd. As [[Boards of Canada]] has used vocal samples, including recordings of groups of people talking (perhaps most prominently in "[[Turquoise Hexagon Sun]]"), many fans feel the ambient noise actually adds to the recording. At any rate, since the live version is the only known recording, listeners have become used to the noise as part of the track.

[[Twoism forum]] poster zeitgeist offers some interpretations of what's being said:

<blockquote>
so, i remember a similar thread awhile ago about distracting noises in the atp/warp live sets. i couldn't find it using search, so apologize if i'm retreading here. there's a hilarious (although fucking-annoying) moment in ATP track 7 where in my copy it sounds like someone getting hit in the face and the noises afterwards... i hope that's not a sample in the background?.... anyway, i just heard it because i'm baked for the first in awhile. figured i'd transcribe it. maybe you can hear it too?

(w=woman, m=man)

4:09 - [(W) "Oh fuck!"]<br>
4:11-4:13 - [(M) "Stop that, .....don't..put..that in her eyes!"]<br>
4:15 - [(W) "shit, man!"]<br>
4:32-4:36 - [(M) mumbling], [(W) "....shit...right in my eye!"], [(M) "it's ok."]<br>
4:38 - [(M) "it's only 'cuz it's used to the dark, that's all."]<br>
4:39 - [(W) "yeah, but it still hurts!"]<br>
4:45 - [(M) "You'll live.....it's only cuz your eyes are not used to the dark....your eyes are so (protected?)...your eyes...")

...or on second-thought, maybe the woman is tripping balls and is scared of the light. yea, that's definitely it.

the drama never stops.

EDIT: @ 8:22 - man says amongst clapping, "i wanna die!". hope that's in a "good" way.

R35TT A06

2026-01-24T22:12:24Z

Mr udders: Changed runtime to 4:57 to match R35TT rather than speculated full runtime of 5d

{{Infobox Song|
| name=R35TT A06
| runtime=4:57 (10 second overlap with [[Finity]], 18 second overlap with [[R35TT A07]])
| appearson=[[Random 35 Tracks Tape]]}}

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* Occasionally referred to as "[[5d]]" despite there being little basis for this assumption other than the length of the track being similar to that of a known track length of an unreleased song.
* The video below for "[[5d]]" is a part of the official [[BoC]] playlist selected by BoC which does give credence to track "[[R35TT A06]]" being "[[5d]]".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/user/boardsofcanada/playlists</ref>

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* The initial sample in this track, lasting the duration of the piece, is a pitch/speed-altered version of the base sample for the track "[[Seven Forty Seven|Seven Forty Seven]]" released as part of the [https://www.discogs.com/release/2024532 Warp20 (Unheard)] compilation.
* It also plays a very light sample, around 3 minutes 20 seconds in, of a woman with a southern American accent apparently pulling up to a drive-through fast food ordering microphone and asking "Yes, what comes with, uh, chicken fingers?" This same sample is played in the background of "[[Dave (I'm A Real Traditionalist)]]".
* At 04:04, a heavily manipulated voice can be heard saying "too good to be true". This was discovered by [[Twoism (messageboard)|Twoism]] user personman to be sampled from [[Wikipedia:The_Dave_Clark_Five|The Dave Clark Five]]'s 1967 song "[[Wikipedia:Everybody_Knows_(Dave_Clark_Five_song)|Everybody Knows]]"<ref> {{#widget:YouTube|id=ZkUpU9OhNtQ|start=61}} </ref>
* At 2:30, a reversed snippet of “[https://youtu.be/dluBzT6kVno?t=235 Zableyalo Mi Agǔnste]” <ref> {{#widget:YouTube|id= dluBzT6kVno|start=235}} </ref> from “[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Myst%C3%A8re_des_Voix_Bulgares Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares]” (a snippet also shared with [[Staircase Whip]]) is played in the center channel.
* At 0:28, an unidentified flute sample can be heard that also appears in "[[Seven Forty Seven]]", "[[An Eagle in Your Mind]]", and "[[Opening The Mouth]]" from [http://www.discogs.com/release/2024532 Warp20 (Unheard)], ''[[Music Has the Right to Children]]'', and ''[[Geogaddi]]'' respectively.<ref>https://on.soundcloud.com/hTyV7RsRDJuwoQNB6</ref>
* The unidentified "Yeah!" heard at 1:17 was used again on [[Twoism_(release)|Twoism's]] "[[Basefree]]", albeit much slower and reversed.

Mr udders: Added link to Peel Session EP

An overview of [[Registered_works|registered works]].

== Official Releases ==
=== Albums ===
* ''[[Music Has the Right to Children]]'': 20 April 1998, CD + LP, WARP055 + SKA001

* ''[[Hi Scores]]'': December 1996, LP, SKA008

=== Digital ===
* ''[[Reach For The Dead]]'': 23 May 2013, Digital, WARPDD257A

== Early vs. Late Releases ==
[[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.

=== BoC Old Website / 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.

=== BoC Old Website / 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.

Mr udders: Missing bracket

An overview of [[Registered_works|registered works]].

=== Digital ===
* ''[[Reach For The Dead]]'': 23 May 2013, Digital, WARPDD257A

== Early vs. Late Releases ==
[[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.

Mr udders: Fixed warp20 unheard link

An overview of [[Registered_works|registered works]].

== Official Releases ==
=== Albums ===
* ''[[Music Has the Right to Children]]'': 20 April 1998, CD + LP, WARP055 + SKA001
* ''[[Geogaddi]]'': 18 February 2002, CD + 3xLP + Limited edition hardbound, WARP101
* ''[[The Campfire Headphase]]'': 17 October 2005, CD + 2xLP + Promotional copies, WARP123
* ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]'': 10 June 2013 (USA 11 June 2013), CD + LP, WARP257

=== EPs and 12"s ===
* ''[[Twoism (release)|Twoism]]'': 1995, Cassette + LP (100 copies originally pressed in 1995, subsequently widely available after being re-issued by [[Warp]] in 2002), BOARD1
* ''[[Hi Scores]]'': December 1996, LP, SKA008
* ''[[Aquarius (release)|Aquarius]]'': 5 January 1998, 7" LP (limited to 500 copies), KMAS001

=== Digital ===
* ''[[Reach For The Dead]]'': 23 May 2013, Digital, WARPDD257A

== Early vs. Late Releases ==
[[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.

=== BoC Old Website / 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 56 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.

=== BoC Old Website / 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 56 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.

An overview of [[Registered_works|registered works]].

=== Digital ===
* ''[[Reach For The Dead]]'': 23 May 2013, Digital, WARPDD257A

== Early vs. Late Releases ==
[[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.

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.

== Early vs. Late Releases ==
[[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.

=== BoC Old Website / 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 56 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.
