The idolized and enigmatic duo are back. After considerable speculation by their rabid fan base (not to mention the media following every step of the way), [[Boards of Canada]] have revealed that their new album [[Tomorrow's Harvest]] will be released on June 11 via their long time home, [[Warp Records]]. Musically, the album is somehow dark yet positive, with atmospheric dissonance and mind-bending melodic creations. <ref>http://www.amazon.com/Tomorrows-Harvest-Boards-Canada/dp/B00CISC2DA</ref>

== Quotes ==
=== Mike Sandison ===
[[Mike|Mike Sandison]]
<blockquote>"The challenge with this record was crafting the tunes into a specific style and time period we want to reference. In fact it's not just the time period – we analyse the specific medium we're going for too." <ref name="the-guardian">http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2013/jun/06/boards-of-canada-become-more-nihilistic</ref></blockquote>

<blockquote>"Some tracks deliberately finish earlier than you want them to, like actual cues in older soundtracks where they've been ripped out of much longer original masters that nobody ever gets to hear." <ref name="the-guardian" /></blockquote>

<blockquote>"There are quite a few influences on this record. Carpenter is kind of an easy reference point for most people though I'd say the main ones would be Fabio Frizzi , John Harrison and Mark Isham. We're very much into grim 70s and 80s movie soundtracks so there are maybe nods to composers such as Stefano Mainetti , Riz Ortolani, Paul Giovanni, Wendy Carlos , even Michael Nyman." <ref name="the-guardian" /></blockquote>

<blockquote>"There's actually more use of subliminals on this record than on any previous album we've done, so we're interested to see what people will pick up on." <ref name="the-guardian" /></blockquote>

<blockquote>""It's not post-apocalyptic so much as it is about an inevitable stage that lies in front of us. But it's better if listeners find the narrative themselves, in the titles and the sounds." <ref name="the-guardian" /></blockquote>

<blockquote>"Our listeners seem to be really cool, savvy types of people. They didn’t let us down." <ref name="de:bug">http://de-bug.de/musik/10677.html</ref></blockquote>

<blockquote>"In the studio we still spend a huge amount of time destroying the sounds in our music, though on this record we wanted to use older electronic instruments in the kind of well-produced, precisely orchestrated ways that film composers did back in the late seventies and eighties." <ref name="de:bug" /></blockquote>

=== Marcus Eoin ===
[[Marcus|Marcus Eoin]]
<blockquote>"We're based in Scotland, although some of the early sketches on this record were done in New Zealand. We have a main studio that is literally on a farm surrounded by deer and rabbits." <ref name="the-guardian" /></blockquote>

<blockquote>"In fact if you look again at the San Francisco skyline on the cover it's actually a ghost of the city. You're looking straight through it." <ref name="the-guardian" /></blockquote>

<blockquote>"We've been busy in our rehearsal space lately, so never say never." <ref name="the-guardian" /></blockquote>

<blockquote>"It’s about finding something beautiful in desolation, something draws us to the atmosphere of destroyed, abandoned places. It’s a bitter-sweet thing that we’ve always tried to achieve in our music. It seems too obvious to make music that is just purely dark, that just seems too easy and naïve." <ref name="de:bug" /></blockquote>

<blockquote>"I hope that it works to make the listener pause and consider where we are right now, where we’re going… I guess it’s essentially a political album, but we shouldn’t spell it all out, it’s important that the listener finds their own thing in there." <ref name="de:bug" /></blockquote>

<blockquote>"We were involved with the art direction and we helped devise some of the ideas but we had a really great team of people helping us to make it all happen. We really wanted to bring back a feeling of anticipation for new music that has largely been lost in recent years, mainly because of the internet." <ref name="de:bug" /></blockquote>

<blockquote>"We’d be making music anyway even if nobody was listening, and we’ve no intention of stopping, so this is just a continuation." <ref name="de:bug" /></blockquote>

==Trivia==

* The cover art is the skyline of San Francisco [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RIqbTt3vNqQ/S6xdAGuRzSI/AAAAAAAAAsk/OnneVg3M4gM/s1600/bike+ride+estuary+and+NAS+015.jpg as seen from the runway] at the old [[wikipedia:Alameda Naval Air Station|Alameda Naval Air Station]].
**The [[wikipedia:Alameda Naval Air Station|Alameda Naval Air Station]] is where the show [[wikipedia:MythBusters|MythBusters]] tests many of their myths which require a large open area or empty road longer than a mile.
** [http://www.twoism.org/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2749 purgruv] from the [[Twoism (messageboard)]] found the original source picture of the artwork. <ref>http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=212519#212519</ref>
[[Image:San-francisco-skyline-th-cover-artwork.jpg|770px]]
* The vinyl release is two discs long:
** Disc 1, side 1 includes Gemini, Reach For The Dead, White Cyclosa, Jacquard Causeway
** Disc 1, side 2 includes Telepath, Cold Earth, Transimiones Ferox, Sick Times, Collapse
** Disc 2, side 1 includes Palace Posy, Split Your Infinities, Uritual, Nothing Is Real, Sundown
** Disc 2, side 2 includes New Seeds, Come To Dust, Semena Mertvykh
* One of the vinyl sleeve's images is the inverted/upside-down number 822
** The number 822 may actually refer to Genesis 8:22, which states, "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall not cease."
** 822 may also refer to the "last interactive login" on the cosecha-transmisiones website. The login date is 22-AUG-1996 02:57. The North American date would be written as AUG-22 or 8/22. The significance of this date is still under speculation.<ref>http://www.thenation.com/article/august-22-1996-bill-clinton-ends-welfare-as-we-know-it/</ref>
* Another sleeve image is a broken sign with only the letter G visible. This may refer to the G of Christian/Masonic Gnosticism, which is the belief system of the revelation of God through enlightened personal experience instead of religious dogma. The revelations of both God and Satan are recurring themes in BoC's works.
* According to users on Twoism, the Japanese CD release of the album says "I OVERFLOW MAN" around its rim. One anagram of this is "Owl of Minerva," which, in greek mythology, represents wisdom, and accompanies Athena, goddess of wisdom. A quote of Georg Hegel's connects true wisdom of a culture with its impending destruction.
<blockquote>When philosophy paints its gloomy picture then a form of life has grown old. It cannot be rejuvenated by the gloomy picture, but only understood. Only when the dusk starts to fall does the owl of Minerva spread its wings and fly.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owl_of_Athena</ref></blockquote>
* The album's total running time is 62:07. 6+2+0+7=15 1+5=6

== Comments ==
*Then length of the track is given as 2:16. 216 is the sixth cube number (6 * 6 * 6) and therefore has very solar properties.
*The number 666 is the total sum of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_square#Europe magic square of the sun] as described by Agrippa.
*Sundowner was a project's name in the 413th FTS.<ref>http://naderlibrary.com/icouldtellyou.27.htm</ref> Because track length is emphasized with 666, the following track times backwards surrounding the track (935253-704) looks 1337 for pesesh-kef, with [[Opening The Mouth]] being roughly twice as long as Sundown. Semena Merkvykh 03i3, appears l337 for OBB, possibly referencing Bobby Bond who died during his farewell flight (~[[Farewell Fire]]) or the Church of the Sub Genius.
*Speculated to have been a track that was left off of Geogaddi.

== Comments ==
* [http://www.twoism.org/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=616 Skytree] observed the following:
** "[[Gemini]]": track one
** "[[Gemini]]": May 21 - June 20
** Dredging up of the subconscious mind.
** This past weekend saw the last of three eclipses of 2013 (until the Fall), ending in "[[Gemini]]".
** [[Music Has The Right To Children]]: "[[Aquarius]]". Both "[[Aquarius]]" and "[[Gemini]]" are air signs.
** Much of [[BoC]]'s video imagery involves flying through the air.
** -- end transmission -- <ref>http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=198078#198078</ref>
* I read a review (sorry, someone else needs to edit this post to properly cite the reference) noting that Gemini are twins, and suggesting that separation (or invisible, maybe inevitable) connections might be a recurring Tomorrow's Harvest theme. (e.g., [[Split Your Infinities]], [http://www.brainwashed.com/common/htdocs/discog/loci1.php?site=coil08 Last Rites Of Spring/"Twin gods of death at the end of the tunnel"], Beckett's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Trio_(play) Ghost Trio], Virgil's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeneid#Themes Aeneid], & Dante's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Comedy#Thematic_concerUzns Divine Comedy])
**Many others' comments focus on palindromes, suggesting cycles in the tracks' sequence.

== Samples / Lyrics ==

At 2:52 you can hear in the left channel the words "Does anybody copy me?" followed by "Roger" at 2:55. It becomes more recognizable played 25% slower.

== Trivia ==
* Gemini was an American spaceflight program from 1962-1966. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_program]

*Gemini is a subcritical nuclear test project ran by The National Nuclear Security Agency (NNSA). The NNSA runs the U.S. nuclear warhead program. [http://www.wslfweb.org/docs/WSLF%20Issue%20Update--Subcritical%20Tests%20Fall%202012.pdf]

*Gemini (♊) is also the third astrological sign in the [[wikipedia:Zodiac|Zodiac]]. Gemini were twin brothers, and therefore, could be a symbolic reference to the Sandison brothers themselves, even though they are not identical.

*Gemini can be also a direct reference to Gemini Films, a film production and distributor. [http://www.imdb.com/company/co0003571/] The duo already made a small reference to them, when they sampled the ending of the 1982 adult film titled "A Brief Affair" [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0123570/] on [[One Very Important Thought]].
