*A repeating male vocal sample saying "I'm listening" can be heard in the latter half of this version, sampled from [https://youtu.be/E3x_M7TFtuo?t=55 Blue Aquarius - At The Feet Of The Master]<ref>{{#ev:youtube|E3x_M7TFtuo|480||||start=55|false}}</ref><ref>https://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14300&start=560</ref>

*The high-pitched choir-like vocal used heavily in "[[R35TT A12]]" can be heard in this version, around the 2:44 mark - it appears to be slightly higher in pitch.

*At 4:40, a synthesized male voice says "Sixtyten New Aquarius".

'''''Inferno''''' is the upcoming fifth studio album by [[Boards of Canada]], scheduled for release on 29 May 2026 via [[Warp Records]]. It is the long-anticipated follow-up to their 2013 album ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]'' - a gap of nearly thirteen years preceded its release, the band's longest to date between albums.

== 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.
* "[[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.
* The Continuous Mix version 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.
** [[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.
* The album length of 18 tracks seems to be deliberate since 18 is the sum of 6+6+6, symbolizing 666, the number noted in The Book of Revelation and found at times in [[Boards of Canada]]'s works.

== Info ==

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

Other [[BoC]]-related typefaces:
* ''[[Music Has the Right to Children]]'': ITC Bauhaus
* ''[[Geogaddi]]'': VAG Rounded
* ''[[The Campfire Headphase]]'': Strasua Regular (free), which definitely gets some style cues from Avant Garde Alternate.
* ''[[Trans Canada Highway]]'': Title: Custom, the closest you can get to it easily is probably Neo Sans Ultra. Subtitle: Avant Garde.
* ''[[Hi Scores]]'': OCR A Extended (built into Windows and Mac)
* ''[[Twoism (release)|Twoism]]'': Artist, album and track titles are handwritten. On the original 1995 version, the font used for the credits is Gill Sans (built into Windows).
* ''[[Boc Maxima (release)|Boc Maxima]]'': On the cassette edition, likely Helvetica (built into macOS), stretched slightly. On the CD edition, Eurostile (paid).
* ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]'': A modified version of ITC Avant Garde Gothic LT Bold
* ''[[Inferno]]'': Blippoblap

Zebramatic POW is a distressed typeface - the stripey business is part of it, hence the name. Zebramatic POW. It's just ITC Avant Garde Bold with some cheap distress effects. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/comments/1d240h/i_decided_to_make_a_boards_of_canada_wallpaper/c9mafog/</ref>

Saintsantiago:

On 1 September 2013, a shortwave radio enthusiast, Thomas Witherspoon, posted a blog entry on [https://shortwavearchive.com/archive/i6g7qo7y76lzulgbc8xlpop7b9w9m2 The Shortwave Radio Audio Archive]. He reported that on the previous evening, Chris Smolinski, an admin of [https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,12347.0.html HF Underground forums], discovered a new shortwave pirate radio station: [[BOCHF]] (Boards of Canada HF Pirate Radio).

__TOC__

== First Broadcast ==

[[BOCHF]]'s first broadcast began on 30 August 2013 at 23:10 UTC on 6,925kHz USB. Witherspoon recounts his experience in the [https://shortwavearchive.com/archive/i6g7qo7y76lzulgbc8xlpop7b9w9m2 blog post], reproduced below:

<blockquote>
Friday night (30 August 2013), I came across a new shortwave pirate radio station: [[BOCHF]]. [[BOCHF]] started broadcasting around 23:10 UTC on 6,925 kHz USB, and after about a twenty-five minute set, took a five minute break, then returned with a forty-two minute set, ending with an [[wikipedia:Slow-scan_television|SSTV]] [[wikipedia:QSL_card|QSL]]. The signal, as you can hear below, is fairly strong, but interference was also strong at times; especially from "SSB pescadores" (fishermen) and the usual summer static crashes.

The entire mix consisted of [[Boards of Canada]] music from ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]''. There were no vocal ID's, but there were messages in CW ([[wikipedia:Morse_code|Morse code]]) which clearly identifies this pirate as [[BOCHF]]. The artists [[Boards of Canada]] have always had an affinity with [[wikipedia:Shortwave_radio|shortwave radio]], so I find a shortwave pirate station playing their music to be an appropriate tribute. Due to sound card problems, I was unable to decode the [[wikipedia:Slow-scan_television|SSTV]] [[wikipedia:QSL_card|QSL]], but thankfully a great copy was posted on [https://www.hfunderground.com/ HF Underground's pirate radio forum] (see above) by forum contributor, Chris Smolinski.
</blockquote>

[[File:BOCHF0.jpg|center]]

The station's digital [[wikipedia:QSL_card|QSL]] card is a grainy image of the ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]'' album, with superimposed Spanish words, "coescha transmissiones [sic]" ("harvest transmissions") which consistently align with the themes of [[BoC]]'s [[Tomorrow%27s_Harvest#Viral_Marketing|marketing]] of the album. It is also worthy to note that "SSB pescadores" is active, primarily Spanish-speaking, freeband radio traffic and fishing fleets operating on [[wikipedia:Single-sideband_modulation|SSB]] (Single Sideband) frequencies between 6-8 MHz. The use of a radio frequency for fishermen could be a clever reference to Jesus and His apostles, the "Fisher of Men", another biblical reference related to ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]''.

Chris Smolinski, discusses the [[BOCHF]] discovery with other members on the [https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,12347.0.html HF Underground] forums pages below, along with some of the translated [[wikipedia:Morse_code|Morse Code]] (forum messages reproduced as posted):

== Second Broadcast ==

The next day, on 1 September 2013, [[BOCHF]] transmits again. Witherspoon reports again:

<blockquote>
Again this morning (1 September 2013) at 2:20 UTC-and last night, during a very active night of pirate radio activity-[[BOCHF]] crept onto the airwaves, this time on 6,920 kHz USB. Yesterday, [[BOCHF]] played the [[Boards of Canada]] album [[Tomorrow's Harvest]]; this morning, they played their album ''[[In a Beautiful Place out in the Country (release)|In a Beautiful Place out in the Country]]''. And how did it sound? Combining the music of the [[Boards of Canada]] with the sonic texture of the shortwave ether is a winning combination, in my opinion. But don't take my word for it: take a listen yourself.''

[[BOCHF]] also sent me this hi-resolution [[wikipedia:QSL_card|QSL]] card after hearing the off-air recordings.

Many thanks, [[BOCHF]]!

6920kHz - 0220z - from the Causeway

1/9/2013 - remember waco

Transmitting at 6925kHz and 6920kHz or 6.9mHz could be a nod to [[1969]], [[Sixtyniner]], [[June 9th]], and many other "69" references in [[BoC]]'s [[Discography|discography]]. The Causeway is a reference to "[[Jacquard Causeway]]" in ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]''. Remembering Waco points to the [[wikipedia:Waco siege|Federal raid on the Branch Davidians in 1993]], as well as numerous samples and references ''[[In a Beautiful Place out in the Country (release)|In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country]]'', ''[[Geogaddi]]'' and elsewhere in [[BoC]]'s music [[Discography|catalog]].

== Current Status ==
After these two transmissions, [[BOCHF]] goes offline without a trace. It is unknown if [[Boards of Canada]] themselves or someone from the [[Hexagon Sun]] Collective broadcast these two pirate radio transmissions. However, the timing in 2013, the branding and the verbiage of the [[wikipedia:Slow-scan_television|SSTV]] [[wikipedia:QSL_card|QSL]] cards, plus the subtle nods to [[BoC]]'s [[Discography|discography]], make it plausible that these are legitimate [[Boards of Canada]] events.

The station’s digital QSL card is a grainy image of the [[Tomorrow’s Harvest]] album, with superimposed Spanish words, “cosecha transmissiones [sic]” (“harvest transmissions”) which consistently align with the themes of BoC’s marketing of the album. It is also worthy to note that “SSB pescadores” is active, primarily Spanish-speaking, freeband radio traffic and fishing fleets operating on SSB (Single Sideband) frequencies between 6-8 MHz. The use of a radio frequency for fishermen could be a clever reference to Jesus and His apostles, the “Fisher of Men”, another biblical reference related to [[Tomorrow’s Harvest]].

Chris Smolinski, discusses the BOCHF discovery with other members on the [https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,12347.0.html HF Underground] forums pages below, along with some of the translated Morse Code (forum messages reproduced as posted):

'''Topic: BOCHF 6925 USB 2310 UTC 30 Aug 2013'''

'''ChrisSmolinski:'''
Came on with what could have been PSK125, music now. Good signal, S8. Closed with CW, perhaps something close to GET A DRINK GET NITE B BACK SHORTLY 4 BRK BOCHF BOCHF BOCHF BOCHF. So I am naming this station BOCHF. The op can correct me if I am wrong :-)

'''rdla4:'''
Good into GA at 2316 UTC, kind of a new age sounding piece of music. Signal is topping S8 here.

'''hsmith77:'''
"White Cyclosa " Boards of Canada at 2318 Nice S5/7 signal

'''LighthouseOhio:'''
Decent / fair into NE Ohio. Lots of noise. New age music, No IDs heard thus far in the first 15+ minutes.

0012 "Come To Dust" Boards Of Canada

ID might stand for Boards Of Canada HF? !

'''Beerus Maximus:'''
Extremely heavy interference from the Azores peskie net. Nice signal, but destroyed by peskie QSO. Ops: please consider operations off of 6925 KHz, which is completely 0wned by the Azores peskies and render most stations on 6925 KHz inaudible.

'''RCCI:'''
00:06 Just tuned in - Signal strength about 2-3 - Terrible static crashes here from a storm which passed about 40 minutes ago.
00:11 can hear some music in background but it has odd sounding pitches. Couldn't identify to save my life…

'''Mentholyptus:'''
Good S7-S9 here, nice signal 2353, tune in progress 2355, atmospheric tune 0000, atmospheric tune ---peskies starting to act up briefly--- 0006, atmospheric tune 0008, pulse-y tune 0013, atmospheric tune w guitar 0021, SSTV tones 0022, ---off--- Thanks for the k00l tunes!

'''hammarhead:'''
S9 into NE Ohio tonight with some static to go along. Funky spacey music format that I would guess to be a new age format. Thanks for the show!.
- CW ID as BOCHF RADIO at 00:19 UTC

'''Dr. Strangelove:'''
Steady S7 signal, sounding good. Interesting music, Thanks for the show!

'''Sealord:'''

Audio (23:41z-00:23z): [404 Not Found]

Audio (23:11z-23:36z): [404 Not Found]

Thanks BOCHF Radio!

'''ChrisSmolinski:'''
I wrote up a short blog entry about the station: [404 not found]

'''hammarhead:'''
The recording was great, I copied the last part I missed last night when I couldn't find a pen: "'''We plant the new seeds but forget the old a lesson learned the seeds of the dead are watching reach for the dead the old, the fading save them from the forgotten sew [sic] the harvest'''"

The next day, on 1 September 2013, BOCHF transmits again. Witherspoon reports again:

''Again this morning (1 September 2013) at 2:20 UTC–and last night, during a very active night of pirate radio activity–BOCHF crept onto the airwaves, this time on 6,920 kHz USB. Yesterday, BOCHF played the Boards of Canada album [[Tomorrow’s Harvest]]; this morning, they played their album [[In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country]]. And how did it sound? Combining the music of the Boards of Canada with the sonic texture of the shortwave ether is a winning combination, in my opinion. But don’t take my word for it: take a listen yourself.''

''BOCHF also sent me this hi-resolution QSL card after hearing the off-air recordings.''

[[File:BOCHF1.jpeg]]

''Many thanks, BOCHF!

-----

The SSTV SQL of broadcast 2 is album artwork from [[A Beautiful Place Out In The Country]] with interesting verbiage:

[[File:BOCHF2.jpeg]]

6920kHz - 0220z - from the Causeway
1/9/2013 - remember waco

Transmitting at 6925kHz and 6920kHz or 6.9mHz could be a nod to [[1969]], [[Sixtyniner]], [[June 9th]], and many other “69” references in BoC’s discography. The Causeway is a reference to [[Jacquard Causeway]] in [[Tomorrow’s Harvest]]. Remembering Waco points to the Federal raid on the Branch Davidians in 1993, as well as numerous samples and references [[In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country]], [[Geogaddi]] and elsewhere in BoC’s music catalog.

After these two transmissions, BOCHF goes offline without a trace. It is unknown if Boards of Canada themselves or someone from the Hexagon Sun Collective broadcast these two pirate radio transmissions. However, the timing in 2013, the branding and the verbiage of the SSTV SQL cards, plus the subtle nods to BoC’s discography, make it plausible that these are legitimate Boards of Canada events.

Recordings of the BOCHF Pirate Broadcasts can be found at [https://archive.org/details/sraa-i6g7qo7y76lzulgbc8xlpop7b9w9m2/BOCHFpart2-6.925MHz-30Aug13-2345Z.mp3 Archive.org]

Tomorrow's Harvest Viral Marketing Campaign

2026-03-12T04:23:47Z

Saintsantiago:

The Viral Marketing Campaign for [[Boards of Canada]]'s 4th LP - [[Tomorrow's Harvest]] (2013), was a series of promotional events leading up to the release of the album. This included, but is not limited to: Listening parties hinted at by using cryptic online messages, a music video being played over a large advertisement screen on the streets of Tokyo, Japan and various other hints and reveals using social media and video hosting websites, alongside a track reveal on BBC Radio 1. This, combined with the '[[Cosecha Transmisiones]]' cryptic messages and clues that immediately preceded it, was considered to be an almost entirely new and unique method of artistic promotion.

A detailed timeline of events is listed below.

__TOC__

== Shibuya-ku Tokyo ==
After [[Record Store Day incident|an intriguing week]] of decyphering cryptic transmissions [[Boards of Canada]] remained silent on their [[Websites#Social Networks|social networks]], except for a couple of links related to the release of ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]''.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/boardsofcanada/posts/10151430836943927</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/boardsofcanada/posts/10151430839388927</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/boardsofcanada/posts/10151430894823927</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/boardsofcanada/posts/10151430840743927</ref>

The 21st of May, however, [[Boards of Canada]] posted the following cryptic status update on their official [[Facebook.com|Facebook]] account. <ref>https://www.facebook.com/boardsofcanada/posts/10151460041363927</ref><ref>http://www.factmag.com/2013/05/21/boards-of-canada-tweet-mysterious-japanese-address/</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/boardsofcanada/posts/10151460041363927</ref><ref>http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10626</ref>

There isn't enough happening here yet for me to be able to say anything about the scale of what exactly might go down. I'm apparently the first of us to land. There is a sort of light caretaker/security situation that may thwart other earlybirds. Unsure. Only a small handful of people on site yet. I basically snuck in.

<blockquote>
I would love to regale you with tales of my post listening party desert wanderings... the peyote vision quest, the saucers that appeared from behind a red moon, losing my iPad somewhere along the jacquard causeway, the secret "hooper bay" tape I discovered inside the airstream trailer...
 
But actually I drove home to LA at lightning speed, ate some tacos and passed out.
 
I didn't expect to be the first to arrive. I had thought I'd leave LA around noon, but when I woke up the anticipation was too much and I felt like getting my show on the road.
 
The desert is beautiful and the drive is great once you're on the 15... the landscape really lights up your brain. I stopped in Yermo and took some pics at the RFTD gas station, just a few miles ahead of the waterpark. Why don't I drive out this way more often?
 
When I got to the waterpark there was only 1 car in the lot and a white truck drove out to meet me... security or a caretaker. He asked what I was doing there. I meekly said something confusing along the lines of "supposed to meet some friends here", which I realized does nothing to allay suspicion that I'm trafficking in drugs or white slaves. He asked what friends and I continued "some are coming in from Vegas and others from LA… sort of an event… some record company folks." Bingo. He assumed I was with the record company guys and had me follow him out to the side where the trailer had just arrived and one of the gentlemen from Warp was coordinating.
 
I parked just far enough away from the people that I could buy some time, pretended to be on the phone and waved off my caretaker with a sort of thanks. The 3 folks near the trailer were examining me and I fiddled around a bit before exiting the car, nonchalantly heading into the park with camera in hand.
 
After a few minutes, one of the gents from [[Warp]] came over, confirmed that I was the first to arrive, and asked if I would avoid any major spoilers by tweeting what I was seeing in the set up. He wouldn't spill exactly what they were up to beyond an "event" and how they came to choose the spot and I was kind of happy to maintain my own element of surprise too. Wasn't quite sure what to say about the matter as almost anything I tweeted was going to sound cryptic, so rather than say "at least two Warp folks, light security and an airstream trailer" I just said "I've been asked to be discrete…"
 
I had the feeling I might be trespassing to a degree and that others arriving might not be able to get in, but that turned out to be a non issue. So yeah… I tried to lay low and avoid being hustled out ahead of any larger set-up that might be happening.
 
I was torn between a desire to unplug and explore a bit and the growing chorus of voices from the internet desiring updates. Arriving early I felt a de facto obligation to provide some kind of a signal. At some point I set up a google hangout which only kind of sorta worked and was clearly going to chew through my iPad mini's battery. Later installing ustream worked a lot better. I felt a bit like a cyborg, uncomfortably juggling my iDevices, so I'm a little bummed at not being fully present to meet more of the peoples who showed up. My impression of our little crowd is that BoC fans are quality folks all around, which comes as no surprise.
 
As for the listening… the record is awesome. As darkly sublime as one could hope.
 
I hope I didn't cross any lines or piss off anyone at [[Warp]] or the [[Boards of Canada|brothers]] with my broadcast. I was startled to see after the fact that A) ustream saves that stuff and B) the image and audio quality are waaay better than I would've guessed. I've avoided listing to too much spoiler-ing of the record and even "[[Reach For The Dead|RFTD]]" isn't in rotation for my listening yet till I can lay down with the full album in the right frame of mind and with my good headphones -- so I hope my broadcast doesn't diminish the impact for anyone's first listen of the LP.
 
Big thanks to everyone that poked me here and on twitter (and a few of you who subscribed to my coffee!). Big thanks to the absurdly good battery life of the iPad mini. Big thanks to Warp and Boards of Canada for showing their love of the fans. I'm really looking forward to that giant "BoC Set" of old unreleased tapes that the saucer people told me about.

When the stream came up for a few minutes there, it clearly showed people with proper quality cameras on tripods pointed at the 'stage' area. Press? Given the Tokyo stream and "[[Cold Earth]]" at the festival, I'm thinking this is just going to be one more song played publicly. I say 'just' one more song played pubicly as if that's a small thing but this entire thing has been fantastic. I'm seriously starting to think the album's been ready for a while, maybe even stretching back to the infamous black square appearing and this entire buildup thing has been almost 2 years in the planning.

Nah, just had the gear and decided since it was in my beautiful state, and i love the desert ... it had to be done! i also knew so many of you were here sending us all some seriously good vibes and couldn't be there for countless reasons. I was seriously planning on a live gig. Since that didn't happen I have a nice locked shot of the ... airstream the truck and speakers. Sorry guys. Guess I was too optimistic. Yes, I brought the "dead kitty" wind muffler for my ZOOM recorder. Quite nice - pretty much zeroed out any hint of wind. I will edit it when I get home but that won't be til 3a PDT. Sleep can wait. Will load it to my YouTube page (look for Turk 242). There's already my humble reatment of the cosecha transmission there but tomorrow will be today's festivities. Ok, so enough of the dry tech talk. To asnwer your question Decorah: kennychiwa147 said it best. I am still a little in disbelief. I quickly got over the no live show thing. It was just really cool to look around and see literally every walk of life there - young and old. That's when you know it's quality music. The setting was impeccable. Surreal. I am an avid trailer camper so this set piece made me smile wide. When the music came on I was pretty much swept away. I considered taking notes but felt like a tool as i was already standing up there with the camera. my buddy kept encouraging me to enjoy the experience too (he was the one rocking the ray bans in the blue t shirt). Yes the air was thick, sweet and sticky. Ok, music - I listened to RFTD for 90 minutes yesterday on loop while running in big sur. never did that with any track in my life. It did not get old. So when I heard it today I wasnt sure how i would react. gotta say i got pretty choked up. I think it was everything - setting, with fellow BOCers, the sky - and the transition was wicked. The opening bits were really a blur. I was shaking and trying not to fuck up the recording. I do remember the fanfare and thought that was really nice. As for the rest, well you'll just have to wait I guess. I will say this - game changer. BEST. ALBUM. EVER. Yeah, that's right ...

i couldn't help but revel at the range of people in attendance. such good people you all are. the silence between each track was palpable and moving in itself - not from a lack of enthusiasm, but instead, to not break the flow. that was very powerful as it went unspoken. some with heads down, some with eyes closed, others dancing - each person went to their little music world however they do. it was really a community and i never felt so part of something bigger than my own thoughts. i tend to be pretty stoic but i was very moved. since there was no live performance, after a while, i realized i was just filming an (albeit very cool) airstream and truck. the major purpose of going to get this (for those who could not be there) was somewhat compromised. i lie … i also went to have what was probably the most susbstantial music/band-related experience i have ever had - to include live shows. i was sitting here today thinking i could keep chopping this thing up to cover up my lack of preparedness, but i realized 1) people want to hear the music 2) its not about me, and C) they already made a beautiful video … who am i kidding? so here it is - i won't be doing smooth cam filters and all razzmatazz that to make it look better. i did do some color just for atmosphere. i happened to get a few more shots near the end and came up short on footage so i had to mix in stills. ugh - sorry. so i'm just gonna put it out there - imperfections and all since everyone has been so kind, patient, and supportive of us who were shooting. Jack is also working on his edit and i am sure it will blow the doors off later tonight. until then, to hold you over … a heartfelt thank you to Boards Of Canada for bringing us all together and everyone here at Twoism. it was a very special day and each and every one of you were a part of it no matter where you were last night, we felt it there - in the wind, in the desert, in the music. enjoy … http://youtu.be/nkqjncwIqFM "

I just got home from the listening party in Newberry Springs and I am damn glad that I took the leap of faith and headed out there. Being in such an intimate, exclusive location with fellow BOC fans and being some of the first non-journalist/insiders in the world to hear TH in it's entirety was an experience I will always cherish and remember. Big ups to Josh with [[Warp Records]] with whom I had a nice enlightening chat. It was also great to meet Tonx and you all owe him a cold one for the live U-streams that he did. I took a ton of high res photos and HD video although I will not be posting any of the music that has not been officially released out of respect to the artists and label. I am sure there are plenty of others who have or will be doing so in the coming hours. I will post photos on my website soon, but first I need to hit the shower and wash off the desert grit and grime. BEST MEMORIAL DAY EVER!

Just getting home; traffic back to LA was surprisingly mellow. What a great experience, I feel really lucky I was able to make it. Such a surreal backdrop for an equally surreal album. Certainly boards music, but definitely a different path then what they've released before. Great to hear what sounded like a snippet of that melody that went along with the number clues show up at the end of one track, and surprised to find the cosecha transmission tune end the album, but an appropriate finale to an amazing afternoon. Many thanks to BOC and Warp for putting this together, and for the take home goodies at the end. Culminated with an amazing sunset over the desert as well; really amazing event.

I made it back from the desert with my brother. Echoing the postings that I've skimmed through that the album is beautiful. It's emotionally heavier then ''[[Geogaddi]]'' with all that is fantastic about ''[[TCH]]'''s production. Echoing the Carpenter vibe too. Everyone I met was excited, friendly and cool. Once the album begun it went quiet until the end before anyone made a noise. Atmospheric to a T. My favorite moment was this little girl running out in front of a half of the crowd to play as the uplifting latter portion of the album was beginning. She was so happy in unison. Perfect soundtrack moment. Spoilers & Things: -There's a huge Coca Cola Silo out there (along with the Skyliner Drive in). Trans Canada to the fullest. -We were asked to keep postings under-wrap, but were told we'd be hearing the album -"[[Jacquard Causeway]]" was the heaviest track emotionally on first digest. -"[[Cold Earth]]" is the Detroit Track. -"[[Sick Times]]" is Sick. -I'm not sure where the "[[Palace Posy]]"/ROYGBIV connection was made in the track by track review. -"[[Come To Dust]]" has this moment in it's last seconds that shines -"[[Semena Mertvykh]]" is the track from the Tomorrow's Harvest Transmission. -The silence at the end of "[[Semena Mertvykh]]" with the desert breeze, sun setting and awesome people is something I'll remember. -The band texted Josh the organizer to tell us they loved us. cool shit. - We made out with swag. I picked up a large 18x24 poster and two smaller ones, along with a bunch of stickers. Sorry if this is rehash or spoilers but I had a great time and it was a long time coming. I'll edit this post with a link to some photos and videos when I'm not so tired. Thanks to the band and planners if you snoop this post for feedback, this has been super fun and has made me really happy.

Here's my notes on the songs/ general review <nowiki>---</nowiki> Ok, just got back. Here are my thoughts. In general, awesome experience, the setting was perfect. In honor of Scotland I took a few swills of some Ardbeg (neat). As to the album I would not call BoC going back to a '''[[Geogaddi]]''' or '''[[MHTRTC]]''' style, or a combo of th two. It is definitely a logical progression from ''[[TCH]]'' although primarily from something like "[[Oscar See Through Red Eye]]". They make dense, layered complex stuff now. The minimalism is gone. In some respects I like hearing their sounds with a chance to breathe. You get a little of that in the ambient interludes. That being said, ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]'' is an intense, detailed great ride. I mentioned earlier there were noticeable elements of extremely vintage synths (think 70s Tangerine Dream (Phaedra) of Jean Michael Jarre's Oxygen). Maybe some Bladerunner sounding Vangelis. John Carpenter has been mentioned. It's all swirling around in there. I have a video of the first three tracks. I think the sound quality came out pretty good. Trying to figure out how to ujpload it right now. I took notes on each track. "[[Gemini]]", "[[Reach For The Dead]]", "[[White Cyclosa]]" - you heard them. "[[Gemini]]" was a perfect into track, got me in the proper mindframe for BoC. "[[Jacquard Causeway]]" - Intense. When the album kicks into high gear. I really dug what I found to be almost jazzy sounding noodling on what may have been a wurlitzer. It gave a lose feel. One of highlights of album for sure. "[[Telepath]]" - the darking counting voice one. I wrote "unmistakably BoC. Nice interlude track. Keeps mood intense." "[[Cold Earth]]" - You've heard this one by now. A better track in its full sonic glory. I put this own down as giving me a Vangelis vibe on some of the synths. "[[Transmisiones Ferox]]" - Psycaedelic, buried vocals, really dark heartbeat style bass pulse. "[[Sick Times]]" - This one again had an almost jazzy feel with a vintage electric organ or piano sound. Don't know if the beat is the "dopest" but it is a hard kicking break beat. The melody parts give the feel of quick tempo that vaguely reminded me of Poppy Seed. Again with the vintage synths (something close to Oxygene sounding). Another one of the best cuts on the album. "[[Collapse]]" - This is the one I think might have had a Moog sequencer. It reminded me of Phaedra. Deep track with a great bass line that also functions as a counter melody. Everything from Jacquard Causway to here flowed and was all excellent. As good a stretch as there is on any Boc album IMO. "[[Palace Posy]]" - This one was a bit eccentric. Vaguely pizzicato string sounding melody. "[[Split Your Infinities]]" - This was my initial favorite track on the album. Swirling melody that morphs into what I wrote was "ominous and joyous at the same time. Holy fuck." All the great elements of a great Boc track and shows how skilled they are in their craft. "[[Uritual]]" - Buzzy dissosant drone. One of better interludes I can recall and again keeps momentum from Split Your Infities. "[[Nothing Is Real]]" - Treated piano, retro sounding break beat. Nice track I could see this one being popular with the non-diehards but I don't mean that as a slight. "[[Sundown]]" - Very Boc synth pads, layered again with what I call the ancient analog Vangelic et all sound. "[[New Seeds]]" - Creates a melody almost out of radio static. After that I thought I heard discernable guitar sound... Sounds like what I know to be called col legno on a violin where you flip the blow and hit the strings with the wood part (used most prominently at the beginning of Holtz's Mars). Keeps buildings and immensely dense. This could be a polarizing track. "[[Come To Dust]]" - "Eerie with a great laconic break beat." Also a highlight of the album for me. "[[Semena Mertvykh]]" - This is more or the less the song from the trailer. The static is gone and there is instead a stunning dark and dissonant background noise. It sounds a little bit like the beginning of Metallica's "Damage Inc" (the last seconds before the thrash guitar comes in ) but with a strong helicopter effect. I love the melody of this song. Glad it is on the album. A perfect closer really (as exit music). I loved the album overall. Where it rates in the context of their catalog? No idea at this point. Really glad to have the experienence of the build up and then the surprise listening party. Def treat for US fans. There were probably 100 people there, some came from as far as Arizona.

Before I throw my two cents in, I gotta say something to all those who made the drive today: How good was that shower when you got home? Hope yours was as momentous as mine. So, today..... The setting was absolutely perfect. The desert has always been a second home to me, and with the addition of the abandoned water slides, buildings, graffiti, clipped palm trees, staircases, and general post apocalyptic vibe it was just ideal. The strangest part about the location for me was that I remember coming to the park as a kid. As I stood at the top of the now crumbling towers, I vividly recalled being launched down a slithery tube to a pool of blue water below. And now here I was, strolling around the shell of a water park. But for an entirely different reason, and with eyes that have seen a lot since then. The weather was great, parking plentiful (ha!), and perfect for random photos. I ran into a good friend straight away, who was actually there for a totally unrelated photo shoot! She had no idea about the [[BOC]] event until she arrived, but is a fan and stayed for the album premiere. Sawa! The amount of random stuff strewn about was really cool, I found some kids playing cards, weird old necklaces, and took home a "Welcome to Lake Delores" sign. Not much to add about the album......it was incredible. The wind and surroundings obviously boosted the experience of hearing it for the first time, but as someone noted already it'll take on different forms the more you listen to it. Headphones will be an entirely different experience, listening in the car, etc. It absolutely shows progression, a palate both familiar and refined. As I heard someone say on the way out, "not as warbly as other albums, but still has that strange and haunting thing going on". Enough beats and atmospheric passages to satisfy fans of all of their work. I loved the silence between tracks, as everyone waited for the next to begin. It was a meaty length (shut up), and I couldn't help wishing for more when it was over. But for some odd reason which I can't explain - it felt kind of final to me. Who knows, this may the last we hear of [[BOC]]. More than likely not, but it was a vibe I couldn't help but feel. Hmmmm.... The crew were really nice guys. The dudes who brought out the PA gear used to work with a friend of mine, so we traded a few quick stories about him. And the english guy from [[Warp]], Josh I believe? Nice guy as well, and we talked about how my father mastered the "[[Beck - Broken Drum|Broken Drum]]" remix they did with Beck years ago. Kudos to them for helping bring this day to fruition. I also talked to the property owner a bit, who said he's planning on re-opening the water park with an added RV park and possibly a motorcross track. Seems far fetched, but who knows? Maybe we won't see it in it's current condition for very long...... I have some pictures I'll post when I get them loaded up, and if anyone is really desperate for a sticker - send me a PM and an address. I have maybe ten I could part with. More later, I'm fried. This post is gonna look bizarre to me after I get some rest, so excuse the rambling.

Yesterday was an amazing experience and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I didn't think anything was actually going to happen until I saw this forum blowing up so I jumped into the car at 3pm and hauled some serious ass to the middle of the desert. I made it at 4:59 pm.
 
I know most of you who attended think the album is truly an exceptional piece of work and while I tend to agree, I don't think it will go down as their defining piece of work.
 
I jumped on the [[BoC]] bandwagon when ''[[Music Has the Right to Children]]'' was released. And as much as I love everything they put out, ''[[Trans Canada Highway]]'' takes the cake. I know I know, its not even a full length, but memories aside I think this small EP had the biggest impact on me.
 
Anyway, back to the point. I think ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest|TH]]'' is truly a special album, I dont think it eclipses any full length that they have released to date, including ''[[The Campfire Headphase|Campfire Headphase]]''. I know many of you write that album off and I understand why, but I find it very engaging and rather refreshing when compared to some of their heavier material. ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest|TH]]'' flows between dark and light. It tromps you through the depths of tense melancholy and then lifts you to a comforting warm embrace. The album flows like any of their other major releases, with ample droning interjections that relay you to the next chapter. Its so familiar, but seemingly new. It never fails to intrigue.
 
''[[Tomorrow's Harvest|TH]]'' is a solid mix between ''[[Geogaddi]]'' and ''[[Music Has the Right to Children]]''. There are a couple of gems that really shine and then there are a few others (as someone else mentioned) that take some getting used to. For those of you absolutely aching to hear the new album, I really believe its worth waiting for. Each song is extremely complex and I highly doubt low quality recordings would be able to pick up on the nuance each song offers. Yes, you'll at least know what the damn thing sounds like, but would it be worth it? Was waiting for so many years worth taking a peak at low quality recordings?
 
Half of me hopes no one uploads the full set and the other half of me wishes I was "that" guy who saved the day for all of those who don't live in SoCal.
 
So until June 10th comes, I will be checking this forum regularly to see which one of you makes the first move for sharing the other tunes. Am I going to judge you? Probably, but I totally know why you'd do it </blockquote>

Thought I'd add my experience on 5/27/13 to the rest.
 
After following along voraciously during the [[Cosecha Transmisiones|RSD incident]] and up through the album reveal I sort of stepped back, anticipating nothing more than a 40 day wait for the album to be released.
 
When I heard about [[Tomorrow%27s_Harvest_Viral_Marketing_Campaign#Lake_Dolores|Tokyo]], then the boston thing, and the [[Tomorrow%27s_Harvest_Viral_Marketing_Campaign#May_27th_-_17:00_PDT|sattelite image tweet]], I knew I had to be there. I have long wanted to go explore [[wikipedia:Lake Dolores Waterpark|Lake Dolores Waterpark]], I've seen it many times driving on I15 and it will hold a special place in my heart now that I not only got to explore it, but got to explore it during a special [[Boards of Canada]] event with so many amazing people.
 
I had a half day at work, and I got home right around the time [[Tomorrow%27s_Harvest_Viral_Marketing_Campaign#Tweets|Tonx tweeted]] that he had to be discrete, and "!". It was the "!" that really lit a fire under me and by 2pm Lauren and I were off. Upon arriving around 4, We noted a small number of cars in the parking lot, which we parked next to and proceeded to head towards a large group of people who seemed to be beginning to walk into the park. No one knew what was going on, or what we were supposed to do. I asked if anyone knew where [[Tomorrow%27s_Harvest_Viral_Marketing_Campaign#Tweets|tonx]] was, and was told something about "the highest tower", which I identified and advanced towards. At the base of the tower I found [[Tomorrow%27s_Harvest_Viral_Marketing_Campaign#Tweets|Tonx]] - i think still google hangout-ing at that point. In finding him I was also told that at 5pm we were to be in front of a vintage metal camper.
 
We explored a bit, climbing the observation tower and shooting a few snippets of footage. I couldn't think of anything but the camper though and soon had to go set up my tripod and camera. Around that time more people were gathering in front of the trailer as well including Paul whom I am very happy to have met. Around that time Josh from [[Warp]] (the announcer heard before and after the album) came over and asked Paul (and I) if we would only record 3 tracks. He explained that the band had requested no high quality recordings of any kind but that since "we came a long way" and brought our gear that he would allow us to shoot for the first 3. I was happy to oblige. Then it dawned on me... First three. We were going to hear the whole album. I pulled out my phone and texted my friend "WHOLE ALBUM, AWWW SHIT, Cant record after first three tracks, No live performance but its a listening party, AHHHHHH", which I think he then posted on here.
 
5pm came and went and people were continuing to show up. The lincolnshire poacher came over and we chatted a bit - I can't believe I got to meet someone that was at Redmoon and have the first listen to ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest|TH]]'' with them. Phenomenal. Eventually around 5:30 Josh came on the PA, thanked everyone for coming out, and said that it was the wish of the band that there be no recording after the first 3 tracks. and without further ado, ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]'' by [[Boards of Canada]].
 
'''Below I am going to detail my thoughts on the album, so if you're trying to stay spoiler free then maybe don't read it.'''
 
As much as I love the first three tracks, the album really starts cooking with gas starting at "[[Jacquard Causeway]]".
 
"[[Gemini]]"
 
"[[Reach For The Dead]]"
 
"[[White Cyclosa]]"
 
Wispy nostalgic tones with plucky synth layers woven around it. Dissonance makes a larger and larger appearance on the track as it progresses. Fades out slowly. A great vignette-type track pacing the mood between [[Reach For The Dead|RFTD]]" and "[[Jacquard Causeway|Jacquard]]".
 
"[[Jacquard Causeway]]"
 
Lurching drums and a lamenting melody give the feeling of wandering through a wasteland. a little like watching civilization be build up and destroyed again and again with zero progress. Not a happy track. Heavily layered and very beautiful.
 
"[[Telepath]]"
 
Starts with smooth boc tones and a computerized voice reading numbers. "Testing 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7..." if I remember correctly. Unmistakable [[BOC]]. The voice reading numbers distorts intermittently as the music weaves around it. Feels like a numbers station transmission. What are our instructions?
 
"[[Cold Earth]]"
 
Eerie intro with a huge bass throb that comes in. Dark and Epic. If "[[Telepath]]" is a numbers station transmission then "[[Cold Earth]]" is the plan or events set into motion by that transmission. This song will make you rock to the music. I remember seeing people rocking, bobbing their heads, etc. There's a brief grunty highly distorted and cut off childs voice that comes in every few beats for a fraction of a beat that is too beautiful for words. This was one of the many times during the listening party i was overwhelmed with emotion. My audio of this track has one of the two children that were there crying a bit in the background. Perfect.
 
"[[Transmisiones Ferox]]"
 
didgeridoos? Layered and distorted. Mind blowing. Airs out beautifully at the end. Imputes a feeling of pursuit or hiding.
 
"[[Sick Times]]"
 
Utterly fucking amazing. Another groovy head bobber. Classic [[BOC]] sounds. Whole crowd was getting into this one as well.
 
"[[Collapse]]"
 
Scary.
 
"[[Palace Posy]]"
 
A emotional shift. Percussive, funky, off-beat. Stringy. Inquisitive. Godfuckingdamnit I LOVE IT. Chanty vocals that come in that I dont remember what they say but goddamnit i need to hear this track again and again and again. Earworm for sure. One of my favorites off the new album.
 
"[[Split Your Infinities]]"
 
Wondrous. Fucking amazing. Like gazing out at a valley populated with a beautifully destructed future city.
 
"[[Uritual]]"
 
Dark drone with layers of sad tones on top
 
"[[Nothing Is Real]]"
 
You know when you see somethings reflection in water but the water is rippling too much to make out exactly what it is? The beginning of this track is the audio equivalent of that. Vaguely familiar, slightly upbeat. Makes me feel like I'm watching a loop of a corporate logo on broken VHS as a child. Echos of a happier past.
 
"[[Sundown]]"
 
Sad, lamenting tones.
 
"[[New Seeds]]"
 
The emotional lows in this album serve as pacing for the weary but hopeful highs. This song is a "High". More strings. Feeling of rebuilding from the ashes. Theres a lot of work to be done here. Awesome, awesome awesome. I'm trying to limit the number of times I use the words "fucking amazing" to describe this album but I can't help it, it just is.
 
"[[Come To Dust]]"
 
WOW. So now we're in this epic future destroyed then rebuilt shithouse and its awesome but it also sucks.
 
"[[Semena Mertvykh]]"
 
The track from the [[Cosecha_Transmisiones#Album_Teaser|album reveal video]]. My audio of this track has the kids crying and my camera shutter clicking every 10 seconds or so. I might like my version more. We'll see when the album comes out.
 
'''End Spoilers'''
 
There was near-dead silence in between tracks, which was perfect and amazing. After the album ended though, there was around 30 seconds of solid silence before the guy from [[Warp]] came on the PA and thanked everyone for coming. Only then was there an eruption of applause. It was amazing. That brief period of silence was like a magic window for ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest|TH]]''. It was one of the most beautiful moments of my entire life thus far. In the middle of an abandoned water park with a handful of people all simultaneously reeling from what we've just collectively witnessed. The wind gusted lightly. Josh came on the PA and thanked us all. "I just got a text from the band. They wanted me to say they love you all". The crowd "awwwws". I yelled "IT WAS FUCKING AMAZING" and got some odd looks.
 
A box of goodies appeared and people crowded around and grabbed posters and stickers feverishly. Once the goodies were depleted, people began going their own ways and before long the camper and sound equipment were packed up and hauled away. We stayed a bit, shot the coke sign, and wandered. I tried to talk with Josh and just generally take in the wealth of info being shared in the various conversations people were having with him. I also spoke with the property manager and found out that the waterpark is under new ownership, and that they plan on refurbishing the whole thing, putting in an RV park and generally doing away with things as they are. I am glad to have gotten the chance to explore the place in its current state.
 
Eventually as it began getting dark the property manager drove up in his SUV and yelled "OUT, NOW. I'M LOCKING THE GATE", which is why he got a special thanks in my video. I really appreciate that he didnt just kick us out right away and I got to explore a touch. Speaking of my video, here's a link again because I'm ridiculous and can't stop sharing it. It has Paul's HQ Audio (thanks again Paul!) http://youtu.be/t6G8gViaoVg I also shot a bit of Gemini with my phone. http://youtu.be/H7fUp32VRwA

Saintsantiago:

April 20th, 2013 marked the 6th annual [http://recordstoreday.com/ Record Store Day], a global celebration of independent record stores for which record labels produce special limited edition releases and reissues and distribute them for release on this date. On this date, Twitter user [https://twitter.com/ImNoPandaBear @imnopandabear] found a mysterious [[Boards of Canada]] 12" vinyl in [http://www.othermusic.com/|Other Music, NYC]. This vinyl provided one of [[Record Store Day incident#Message Distribution|six messages]] forming part of a [[Record Store Day incident#Key Format|36-digit key]]. Following this event, more [[Record Store Day incident#Message Distribution|messages]] have been broadcast over different media. Despite initial skepticism, the [http://www.youtube.com/user/AtalantaFugiens AtalantaFugiens] YouTube account (known to be [[Live_@_ATP|official]]) updated the annotation on its [[Julie And Candy]] live video to briefly show the key format at time 4:19, confirming the legitimacy of the record.

Below the table of contents you can find a detailed flow of events. For a brief summary of the events you can browse the following resources:
* [http://boardsofcanada2013.tumblr.com/ Compilation of related images by Jason Donervan].
* [http://markjameslyell.tumblr.com/post/50366859970/sick-times-for-viral-marketing Sick Times for viral marketing - a recap by Evil Sounds].

__TOC__

== Key and Message Format ==
The term ''key'' refers to the entire 36-digit code. The term ''message'' refers to a broadcast that provides any number of digits from the key. The term ''message position'' refers to the position of the message within the key.

It is unclear at this stage whether the key represents a mathematical challenge, an encrypted ciphertext, or a key for decoding some as-yet-unknown ciphertext. If it is ciphertext or an encryption key, then information theory and Shannon's noisy coding theorem tells us that it is not useful information until the full message and its related key/cipher are known.

===Key Format===
The key is 36 digits long and numerical in nature. The message titles suggest that the key follows the format: 
<blockquote>----- / ------ / ------ / ------ / ------ / ------</blockquote>

===Message Format===
The messages are distributed by 45-second audio sequences following a set format:
* a shortwave-radio-like noise floor with a numbers station sample being played quietly and noisily throughout.
* a musical callsign announcing that a message is ready to be played
* a 6-digit numerical message being read in a distorted, computerized manner
Each message is partnered by a textual 'title' of the following format:
<blockquote>----- / ------ / ------ / XXXXXX / ------ / ------</blockquote>
The 6-digit message is taken to fit into the marked six positions in the title.

* The XXXXXX pressed on each album cover may have additional significance. X is the 24th letter of the alphabet. Numerically, XXXXXX would be transcribed as 24-24-24-24-24-24. When 2 and 4 are added, the sum is 6. Therefore XXXXXX becomes 666666. Six 6's equals 36, the numerical sequence that is found on each [[Aquarius]] release. The sum of all numbers from 1 to 36 is 666.

==Message Distribution==
===Vinyl===
* The vinyl is a 12" record in a sleeve bearing the following marking:
<blockquote>
BOARDS OF CANADA 
 
------ / ------ / ------ / XXXXXX / ------ / ------ 
 
(P) 2013 WARP RECORDS LIMITED (C) 2013 WARP RECORDS LIMITED
</blockquote>

* The message on the vinyl is "[[Record_Store_Day_incident#Hint_1|936557]]". According to a store employee, the record was hand-delivered by a [[Warp Records]] representative and is one of only 6 in the world.

* Aesthetics from [[Twoism_(messageboard)|Twoism messageboard]] posted the following confirmed information. <ref>http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=189825#189825</ref>

<blockquote>
Just like to share that there are 6 vinyls out there and a few yet to be found! Although all with the same code.
</blockquote>

==== Vinyl 1 ====
* The first vinyl was found by [http://www.reddit.com/user/lilcakey lilcakey] in [http://www.othermusic.com/ Other Music]. He posted the following quote on [[wikipedia:Reddit|Reddit]] in a thread named [http://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/comments/1cry5b/i_got_a_really_weird_record_today/ i got really weird record today]:
<blockquote>
Hey, so i recently posted something on facebook about a record I got today at [http://www.othermusic.com/ Other Music], its a new [[Boards of Canada|BoC]] release from [[Warp|warp]], dated 2013. The record is single sided, and has about a roughly 20 second clip of a very boards-of-canada-ey voice with synth backing saying a six digit number once, and then cuts out.
on the front of the record [[Boards of Canada]] is written and beneath that a series of -'s, /'s, and X's, are arranged as follows 
<blockquote>------ / ------ / ------ / XXXXXX / ------ / ------</blockquote>
Clearly I have one of six similar [[Boards of Canada]] records released today and distributed "randomly" around the world (Other Music said they received the record with no word / acknowledgement of its existence, it was just there in a shipment they received). I think that if all of the numbers are gathered and arranged in a proper order, we might be able to figure something out, so we just need the other 5 people who found the record (or maybe they haven't been found yet) to reveal their numbers and where they fit in the sequence, and then of course, have to decipher what the numbers together mean. 
I don't work for [[Warp|warp]], and am just a college kid who idolizes this group 
I want to figure this out 
</blockquote>
* Two weeks after finding the record that gave the first clue about [[Boards of Canada]]'s new album, a US student is putting the disc up for auction. Pleading for money to "help me start out on my own", the seller has already attracted drawn bids of $4,000 (£2,500)." <ref>http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2013/may/01/boards-of-canada-record-auction</ref><ref>http://pitchfork.com/news/50543-boards-of-canada-record-store-day-12-on-ebay/</ref>. Bidding for the record ended unsuccessfully on May 6th, due to non-paying bidders. The record was then sold outside of eBay for $900 and then later sold to an anonymous buyer from the UK for $1150 <ref>http://www.ebay.com/itm/Boards-of-Canada-RSD-Promo-Record-XXXXXX-/281100905866</ref>

<blockquote>
The Rough Trade BoC single was put out on Saturday (Record Store Day) night by Noreen, the manager, who couldn't tell anyone else about it. It was deliberately misfiled under Techno and placed backwards as well. It then had to be removed at some point, as 'somebody' needed to get a photo of the customer buying it (and [[Boards of Canada|BoC]] it up with a blank face), so it was put back into the racks on Tuesday morning, waiting for someone to chance upon it. As they did.

There was a yellow post-it sticker on the record saying sell me. It was sold to the first person who came in after it arrived. The barcode is for a “music has the right to children” CD so we sold it for £7.99. I’d actually had a conversation with the young lad who bought it about Warp (after he had bought an Aphex Twin 12″ and then a Grizzly Bear album the next week) about how Warp had kindly done a poster campaign in Edinburgh before Christmas tagging Avalanche so it seemed appropriate.

==== Vinyl 4 ====
The fourth vinyl has been found by Discogs user "[https://www.discogs.com/user/impolitov impolitov]". <ref>https://www.discogs.com/Boards-Of-Canada-XXXXXX-/release/4516654</ref>

==== Vinyl 5 ====
The fifth vinyl was displayed as part of a selection of "rare artefacts" at "A Warp Happening", an event organised by [[Warp Records]], on June 14th 2025.

==== Vinyl 6 ====
Vinyl 6 was sent to Japan, likely to Beat Records.
On 25 April 2017, music news site FNMNL reported that Coconuts Disk had obtained the rights to sell this copy. FNMNL also confirmed that this copy was separate from the rest of the records found.<ref>https://fnmnl.tv/2017/04/25/28704</ref>. This follows another post which says that one of the copies was rumored to be in Japan<ref>https://fnmnl.tv/2016/04/02/620</ref>.
Avalanche Records, the original owner of Copy 3, has confirmed this to be the case in a tweet stating "Those sent to Japan + Paris were never made public."<ref>https://x.com/avalanche_edin/status/941800026883481600</ref>
On 23 November 2019, Disk Union of Shinjuku tweeted that they were selling what is most likely Vinyl 6 for ¥150,000<ref>https://x.com/diskunion_suc/status/1198135261336502272</ref>.

=== YouTube ===
On the 22nd of April, the [http://www.youtube.com/user/AtalantaFugiens AtalantaFugiens] YouTube account again updated the annotations for the "[[Julie And Candy]]" live video to briefly flash for 0.1 seconds "ONE GOT FAT" at time 4:20 ([[Record Store Day incident#Video 1|Video 1]]), about the source video for an [[Everything You Do Is A Balloon]] fan video ([[Record Store Day incident#Video 2|Video 2]]). Also at this point, the [[Boards of Canada]] [[YouTube.com|YouTube account]] updated its top favourite video to "[[Everything You Do Is A Balloon]]" fan video. On that fan video, a comment from a YouTube account [[Hell Interface|hellinterface]] links to the nuevas semillas private video ([[Record Store Day incident#Video 3|Video 3]]) shown below with interesting graphics from little house on the prairie. That private video contains a link to the fourth video ([[Record Store Day incident#Video 4|Video 4]]) shown below in which the new message is played (with digits [[Record_Store_Day_incident#Hint_2|717228]]) and the message position is flashed on the screen.

==== BBC Radio One ====
On the evening (GMT) of 23rd April, [http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006wkth Zane Lowe] played the sixth message of the key on [http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/#objects/d876b620-087b-430c-b3d0-a3289f774d4d/TIMELINE/2013-04-23T19:51:49+01:00 BBC Radio One]. Upon consulting the show's playlist on the BBC website, it lists a track by Artist: Unknown, Title: ------ / ------ / ------ / ------ / ------ / XXXXXX. The message was [[Record_Store_Day_incident#Hint_3|519225]].

==== NPR ====
On the evening (EST) of the same day, [http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2013/04/22/178464083/new-mix-cyborg-love-heartbreak-and-a-mystery NPR] played another message on [http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/ All Songs Considered]. This message was [[Record_Store_Day_incident#Hint_4|699742]]. The title is unknown and therefore the message position has not been confirmed, although when future messages are broadcast then this can be deduced.

===Messageboard===
The fifth clue was distributed in the early morning (GMT+2) of 26 April, on the [[Twoism (messageboard)|Twoism messageboard]]. To officially confirm this, [[Boards of Canada]]'s [[YouTube.com|official YouTube channel]] updated its top favourite videos to three [[Twoism_(song)|Twoism]] fan videos in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQEmaj9C6ko&list=PL221B13914A7EF3A2 The Video Playlist].

{{#widget:YouTube|id=ZmWCn0e_VWc}}

==== Twoism Video 3 ====
{{#widget:YouTube|id=jkL8bu_GaOo}}

==== Clue Discovery ====
The clue was found on [[Twoism (messageboard)|Twoism]] when DaveJ from the [[Twoism_(messageboard)|Twoism messageboard]] discovered one of the rotating banners of the forum had changed, as shown below: <ref>https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151537095749774&set=a.10150466832334774.385711.75031914773&type=1</ref>

File:Banner-twoism-628315.gif
</gallery>
The overlay added to the banner shows an image resembling the csch video above. [https://www.facebook.com/royce.ausburn Royce Ausburn] found running the unix "strings" command on the gif file returns the following:
<blockquote>

</blockquote>
The first part of the strings links to two [[wikipedia:Soundcloud|Soundcloud]] uploads called ∑, Greek uppercase Sigma, which means SUM in maths, with album art showing a signal mixer that sums two inputs. By summing the two Soundcloud files he retrieved the clue: [[Record_Store_Day_incident#Hint_5|628315]]

I'll explain how to get this image:
*take your hex-editor
*notice that all gifs are v89a, so they start with the letters "GIF89a"
*go to the offset where the SoundCloud links are hidden
*notice the "there is another" hint
*which is followed by a GIF89a and some more binary stuff
*copy everything beginning from this GIF89a and paste it into a new file
*voila, the new file is the shown one.

By analyzing the ID tags of the WAVE files from Soundcloud (second image above), we find the following interesting information:

</blockquote>

Current speculation is that Cosecha, Spanish for "harvest", is the name of the numbers station project rather than the album. This would give meaning to the video titles "csch" and "new seeds".

Saintsantiago: /* BOCHF (Boards of Canada HF Pirate Radio) */

==BOCHF (Boards of Canada HF Pirate Radio) ==

On 1 September 2013, a shortwave radio enthusiast, Thomas Witherspoon, posted a blog entry on [https://shortwavearchive.com/archive/i6g7qo7y76lzulgbc8xlpop7b9w9m2 The Shortwave Radio Audio Archive]. He reported that on the previous evening, Chris Smolinski, an admin of [https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,12347.0.html HF Underground forums], discovered a new shortwave pirate radio station: BOCHF.

BOCHF’s first broadcast began on 30 August 2013 at 23:10 UTC on 6,925kHz USB. Witherspoon recounts his experience in the [https://shortwavearchive.com/archive/i6g7qo7y76lzulgbc8xlpop7b9w9m2 blog post], reproduced below:

''Friday night (30 August 2013), I came across a new shortwave pirate radio station: BOCHF. BOCHF started broadcasting around 23:10 UTC on 6,925 kHz USB, and after about a twenty-five minute set, took a five minute break, then returned with a forty-two minute set, ending with an SSTV QSL. The signal, as you can hear below, is fairly strong, but interference was also strong at times; especially from ''SSB pescadores'' (fishermen) and the usual summer static crashes."

''The entire mix consisted of Boards of Canada music from [[Tomorrow’s Harvest]]. There were no vocal ID’s, but there were messages in CW (Morse code) which clearly identifies this pirate as BOCHF. The artists Boards of Canada have always had an affinity with shortwave radio, so I find a shortwave pirate station playing their music to be an appropriate tribute. Due to sound card problems, I was unable to decode the SSTV QSL, but thankfully a great copy was posted on HF Underground’s pirate radio forum (see above) by forum contributor, Chris Smolinski.''

[[File:BOCHF0.jpg]]

-----

The station’s digital QSL card is a grainy image of the [[Tomorrow’s Harvest]] album, with superimposed Spanish words, “cosecha transmissiones [sic]” (“harvest transmissions”) which consistently align with the themes of BoC’s marketing of the album. It is also worthy to note that “SSB pescadores” is active, primarily Spanish-speaking, freeband radio traffic and fishing fleets operating on SSB (Single Sideband) frequencies between 6-8 MHz. The use of a radio frequency for fishermen could be a clever reference to Jesus and His apostles, the “Fisher of Men”, another biblical reference related to [[Tomorrow’s Harvest]].

The next day, on 1 September 2013, BOCHF transmits again. Witherspoon reports again:

''Again this morning (1 September 2013) at 2:20 UTC–and last night, during a very active night of pirate radio activity–BOCHF crept onto the airwaves, this time on 6,920 kHz USB. Yesterday, BOCHF played the Boards of Canada album [[Tomorrow’s Harvest]]; this morning, they played their album [[In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country]]. And how did it sound? Combining the music of the Boards of Canada with the sonic texture of the shortwave ether is a winning combination, in my opinion. But don’t take my word for it: take a listen yourself.''

''BOCHF also sent me this hi-resolution QSL card after hearing the off-air recordings.''

''Many thanks, BOCHF!

The SSTV SQL of broadcast 2 is album artwork from [[A Beautiful Place Out In The Country]] with interesting verbiage:

[[File:BOCHF2.jpeg]]

6920kHz - 0220z - from the Causeway
1/9/2013 - remember waco

Transmitting at 6920kHz or 6.9mHz could be a nod to [[1969]], [[Sixtyniner]], [[June 9th]], and many other “69” references in BoC’s discography. The Causeway is a reference to [[Jacquard Causeway]] in [[Tomorrow’s Harvest]]. Remembering Waco points to the Federal raid on the Branch Davidians in 1993, as well as numerous samples and references [[In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country]], [[Geogaddi]] and elsewhere in BoC’s music catalog.

After these two transmissions, BOCHF goes offline without a trace. It is unknown if Boards of Canada themselves or someone from the Hexagon Sun Collective broadcast these two pirate radio transmissions. However, the timing in 2013, the branding and the verbiage of the SSTV SQL cards, plus the subtle nods to BoC’s discography, make it plausible that these are legitimate Boards of Canada events.

==BOCHF (Boards of Canada HF Pirate Radio) ==

On 1 September 2013, a shortwave radio enthusiast, Thomas Witherspoon, posted a blog entry on [https://shortwavearchive.com/archive/i6g7qo7y76lzulgbc8xlpop7b9w9m2 The Shortwave Radio Audio Archive]. He reported that on the previous evening, Chris Smolinski, an admin of [https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,12347.0.html HF Underground forums], discovered a new shortwave pirate radio station: BOCHF.

BOCHF’s first broadcast began on 30 August 2013 at 23:10 UTC on 6,925kHz USB. Witherspoon recounts his experience in the [https://shortwavearchive.com/archive/i6g7qo7y76lzulgbc8xlpop7b9w9m2 blog post], reproduced below:

''Friday night (30 August 2013), I came across a new shortwave pirate radio station: BOCHF. BOCHF started broadcasting around 23:10 UTC on 6,925 kHz USB, and after about a twenty-five minute set, took a five minute break, then returned with a forty-two minute set, ending with an SSTV QSL. The signal, as you can hear below, is fairly strong, but interference was also strong at times; especially from ''SSB pescadores'' (fishermen) and the usual summer static crashes."

''The entire mix consisted of Boards of Canada music from [[Tomorrow’s Harvest]]. There were no vocal ID’s, but there were messages in CW (Morse code) which clearly identifies this pirate as BOCHF. The artists Boards of Canada have always had an affinity with shortwave radio, so I find a shortwave pirate station playing their music to be an appropriate tribute. Due to sound card problems, I was unable to decode the SSTV QSL, but thankfully a great copy was posted on HF Underground’s pirate radio forum (see above) by forum contributor, Chris Smolinski.''

=== Palindromic Structure ===
"[[We've Become a Lot More Nihilistic over the Years]]" is a 2013 interview by Louis Pattison.

It originally appeared online at [https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/jun/06/boards-of-canada-become-more-nihilistic The Guardian].

{{question|You've spoken in the past about how mathematics and science have been an inspiration on [[Boards Of Canada]]. One ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]'' track is called "[[Split Your Infinities]]". Another is called "[[Jacquard Causeway]]", which seems like it might be a reference to the Jacquard Loom, a sort of rudimentary mechanical computer. Have you found more musical ways to integrate mathematics into the fabric of the music on [[Tomorrow's Harvest]]?}}

{{boc|[[Mike Sandison]]: "Yes, it's loaded with patterns and messages. There are various tricks embedded throughout the whole body of this album, so it'll be interesting to see whether people pick up on these things. Some things are just simple structural things. For instance, "[[Come To Dust]]", the second-to-last track, is a musical reprise of "[[Reach For The Dead]]", which comes in as the second track. There's a '''palindromic structure''' centred around the track "[[Collapse]]" in the middle. 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."}}

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>

<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>

<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>

==Themes==
The following divisions will address some of the primary themes found throughout ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]'':

===Apocalyptic===
*Many people have reported that the album feels cold and desolate. This album is generally viewed as having the apocalypse as its main theme although the brothers have said in an interview that it is "everything but apocalyptic"
*The artwork features a dead animal carcass.
*It also features road signs such as a U-turn, a No U-turn allowed and a runaway truck ramp. One could make the assumption that this means we as a civilization have to turn around but we can't. Making us a runaway truck waiting to crash.

===Division and Duality===
*A sun can be seen splitting into 3 suns at the end of the "[[Reach For The Dead]]" video.
*The album is composed of two vinyls.
*The palindromic nature of this album leaves each tracks with their own counterparts.
*Some track titles also follow the theme of division:
**"[[Gemini]]"
**"[[Collapse]]"
**"[[Split Your Infinities]]"
**"[[Come To Dust]]"

===Communication and Transmissions===
*Mercury, the ruling planet of gemini, is known as “The Messenger of the Gods” and is all about communication.
*Part of the album announcement featured transmissions/Number stations/The cosecha transmission website.
*One of the track is titled "[[Transmisiones Ferox]]".
*The album is sprinkled with a lot of shortwave radio samples.
*"[[New Seeds]]" begins with sounds alike those heard when a cellphone loses signal.
*The artwork features communication towers.

==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.
* The 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

Tomorrow's Harvest Viral Marketing Campaign

2026-03-12T04:07:55Z

Saintsantiago: /* See Also */

The Viral Marketing Campaign for [[Boards of Canada]]'s 4th LP - [[Tomorrow's Harvest]] (2013), was a series of promotional events leading up to the release of the album. This included, but is not limited to: Listening parties hinted at by using cryptic online messages, a music video being played over a large advertisement screen on the streets of Tokyo, Japan and various other hints and reveals using social media and video hosting websites, alongside a track reveal on BBC Radio 1. This, combined with the '[[Cosecha Transmisiones]]' cryptic messages and clues that immediately preceded it, was considered to be an almost entirely new and unique method of artistic promotion.

A detailed timeline of events is listed below.

== Shibuya-ku Tokyo ==
After [[Record Store Day incident|an intriguing week]] of decyphering cryptic transmissions [[Boards of Canada]] remained silent on their [[Websites#Social Networks|social networks]], except for a couple of links related to the release of ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]''.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/boardsofcanada/posts/10151430836943927</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/boardsofcanada/posts/10151430839388927</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/boardsofcanada/posts/10151430894823927</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/boardsofcanada/posts/10151430840743927</ref>

The 21st of May, however, [[Boards of Canada]] posted the following cryptic status update on their official [[Facebook.com|Facebook]] account. <ref>https://www.facebook.com/boardsofcanada/posts/10151460041363927</ref><ref>http://www.factmag.com/2013/05/21/boards-of-canada-tweet-mysterious-japanese-address/</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/boardsofcanada/posts/10151460041363927</ref><ref>http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10626</ref>

There isn't enough happening here yet for me to be able to say anything about the scale of what exactly might go down. I'm apparently the first of us to land. There is a sort of light caretaker/security situation that may thwart other earlybirds. Unsure. Only a small handful of people on site yet. I basically snuck in.

<blockquote>
I would love to regale you with tales of my post listening party desert wanderings... the peyote vision quest, the saucers that appeared from behind a red moon, losing my iPad somewhere along the jacquard causeway, the secret "hooper bay" tape I discovered inside the airstream trailer...
 
But actually I drove home to LA at lightning speed, ate some tacos and passed out.
 
I didn't expect to be the first to arrive. I had thought I'd leave LA around noon, but when I woke up the anticipation was too much and I felt like getting my show on the road.
 
The desert is beautiful and the drive is great once you're on the 15... the landscape really lights up your brain. I stopped in Yermo and took some pics at the RFTD gas station, just a few miles ahead of the waterpark. Why don't I drive out this way more often?
 
When I got to the waterpark there was only 1 car in the lot and a white truck drove out to meet me... security or a caretaker. He asked what I was doing there. I meekly said something confusing along the lines of "supposed to meet some friends here", which I realized does nothing to allay suspicion that I'm trafficking in drugs or white slaves. He asked what friends and I continued "some are coming in from Vegas and others from LA… sort of an event… some record company folks." Bingo. He assumed I was with the record company guys and had me follow him out to the side where the trailer had just arrived and one of the gentlemen from Warp was coordinating.
 
I parked just far enough away from the people that I could buy some time, pretended to be on the phone and waved off my caretaker with a sort of thanks. The 3 folks near the trailer were examining me and I fiddled around a bit before exiting the car, nonchalantly heading into the park with camera in hand.
 
After a few minutes, one of the gents from [[Warp]] came over, confirmed that I was the first to arrive, and asked if I would avoid any major spoilers by tweeting what I was seeing in the set up. He wouldn't spill exactly what they were up to beyond an "event" and how they came to choose the spot and I was kind of happy to maintain my own element of surprise too. Wasn't quite sure what to say about the matter as almost anything I tweeted was going to sound cryptic, so rather than say "at least two Warp folks, light security and an airstream trailer" I just said "I've been asked to be discrete…"
 
I had the feeling I might be trespassing to a degree and that others arriving might not be able to get in, but that turned out to be a non issue. So yeah… I tried to lay low and avoid being hustled out ahead of any larger set-up that might be happening.
 
I was torn between a desire to unplug and explore a bit and the growing chorus of voices from the internet desiring updates. Arriving early I felt a de facto obligation to provide some kind of a signal. At some point I set up a google hangout which only kind of sorta worked and was clearly going to chew through my iPad mini's battery. Later installing ustream worked a lot better. I felt a bit like a cyborg, uncomfortably juggling my iDevices, so I'm a little bummed at not being fully present to meet more of the peoples who showed up. My impression of our little crowd is that BoC fans are quality folks all around, which comes as no surprise.
 
As for the listening… the record is awesome. As darkly sublime as one could hope.
 
I hope I didn't cross any lines or piss off anyone at [[Warp]] or the [[Boards of Canada|brothers]] with my broadcast. I was startled to see after the fact that A) ustream saves that stuff and B) the image and audio quality are waaay better than I would've guessed. I've avoided listing to too much spoiler-ing of the record and even "[[Reach For The Dead|RFTD]]" isn't in rotation for my listening yet till I can lay down with the full album in the right frame of mind and with my good headphones -- so I hope my broadcast doesn't diminish the impact for anyone's first listen of the LP.
 
Big thanks to everyone that poked me here and on twitter (and a few of you who subscribed to my coffee!). Big thanks to the absurdly good battery life of the iPad mini. Big thanks to Warp and Boards of Canada for showing their love of the fans. I'm really looking forward to that giant "BoC Set" of old unreleased tapes that the saucer people told me about.

When the stream came up for a few minutes there, it clearly showed people with proper quality cameras on tripods pointed at the 'stage' area. Press? Given the Tokyo stream and "[[Cold Earth]]" at the festival, I'm thinking this is just going to be one more song played publicly. I say 'just' one more song played pubicly as if that's a small thing but this entire thing has been fantastic. I'm seriously starting to think the album's been ready for a while, maybe even stretching back to the infamous black square appearing and this entire buildup thing has been almost 2 years in the planning.

Yes it will my friends. I will get the edit to you asap. Still gotta make the gawdawful drive home 6 hours ... and its fucking bumper to bumper. But, if I gotta get stuck in traffic to be a part of what just happened ... yeah. Can do. Sketchy connection out here in the desert so full report later will be edging what I shot first thing when home. Sorry again for not keeping up while live. Damn phone died.

Nah, just had the gear and decided since it was in my beautiful state, and i love the desert ... it had to be done! i also knew so many of you were here sending us all some seriously good vibes and couldn't be there for countless reasons. I was seriously planning on a live gig. Since that didn't happen I have a nice locked shot of the ... airstream the truck and speakers. Sorry guys. Guess I was too optimistic. Yes, I brought the "dead kitty" wind muffler for my ZOOM recorder. Quite nice - pretty much zeroed out any hint of wind. I will edit it when I get home but that won't be til 3a PDT. Sleep can wait. Will load it to my YouTube page (look for Turk 242). There's already my humble reatment of the cosecha transmission there but tomorrow will be today's festivities. Ok, so enough of the dry tech talk. To asnwer your question Decorah: kennychiwa147 said it best. I am still a little in disbelief. I quickly got over the no live show thing. It was just really cool to look around and see literally every walk of life there - young and old. That's when you know it's quality music. The setting was impeccable. Surreal. I am an avid trailer camper so this set piece made me smile wide. When the music came on I was pretty much swept away. I considered taking notes but felt like a tool as i was already standing up there with the camera. my buddy kept encouraging me to enjoy the experience too (he was the one rocking the ray bans in the blue t shirt). Yes the air was thick, sweet and sticky. Ok, music - I listened to RFTD for 90 minutes yesterday on loop while running in big sur. never did that with any track in my life. It did not get old. So when I heard it today I wasnt sure how i would react. gotta say i got pretty choked up. I think it was everything - setting, with fellow BOCers, the sky - and the transition was wicked. The opening bits were really a blur. I was shaking and trying not to fuck up the recording. I do remember the fanfare and thought that was really nice. As for the rest, well you'll just have to wait I guess. I will say this - game changer. BEST. ALBUM. EVER. Yeah, that's right ...

Josh from WARP showed me the text. That is for real. They had their own camera people and were snapping pix with iPhones to send back to Scotland. The brothers might not have been there, but they were and it seems they liked what they saw. Lots of love in the BOCosphere today!

i couldn't help but revel at the range of people in attendance. such good people you all are. the silence between each track was palpable and moving in itself - not from a lack of enthusiasm, but instead, to not break the flow. that was very powerful as it went unspoken. some with heads down, some with eyes closed, others dancing - each person went to their little music world however they do. it was really a community and i never felt so part of something bigger than my own thoughts. i tend to be pretty stoic but i was very moved. since there was no live performance, after a while, i realized i was just filming an (albeit very cool) airstream and truck. the major purpose of going to get this (for those who could not be there) was somewhat compromised. i lie … i also went to have what was probably the most susbstantial music/band-related experience i have ever had - to include live shows. i was sitting here today thinking i could keep chopping this thing up to cover up my lack of preparedness, but i realized 1) people want to hear the music 2) its not about me, and C) they already made a beautiful video … who am i kidding? so here it is - i won't be doing smooth cam filters and all razzmatazz that to make it look better. i did do some color just for atmosphere. i happened to get a few more shots near the end and came up short on footage so i had to mix in stills. ugh - sorry. so i'm just gonna put it out there - imperfections and all since everyone has been so kind, patient, and supportive of us who were shooting. Jack is also working on his edit and i am sure it will blow the doors off later tonight. until then, to hold you over … a heartfelt thank you to Boards Of Canada for bringing us all together and everyone here at Twoism. it was a very special day and each and every one of you were a part of it no matter where you were last night, we felt it there - in the wind, in the desert, in the music. enjoy … http://youtu.be/nkqjncwIqFM "

I just got home from the listening party in Newberry Springs and I am damn glad that I took the leap of faith and headed out there. Being in such an intimate, exclusive location with fellow BOC fans and being some of the first non-journalist/insiders in the world to hear TH in it's entirety was an experience I will always cherish and remember. Big ups to Josh with [[Warp Records]] with whom I had a nice enlightening chat. It was also great to meet Tonx and you all owe him a cold one for the live U-streams that he did. I took a ton of high res photos and HD video although I will not be posting any of the music that has not been officially released out of respect to the artists and label. I am sure there are plenty of others who have or will be doing so in the coming hours. I will post photos on my website soon, but first I need to hit the shower and wash off the desert grit and grime. BEST MEMORIAL DAY EVER!

Just getting home; traffic back to LA was surprisingly mellow. What a great experience, I feel really lucky I was able to make it. Such a surreal backdrop for an equally surreal album. Certainly boards music, but definitely a different path then what they've released before. Great to hear what sounded like a snippet of that melody that went along with the number clues show up at the end of one track, and surprised to find the cosecha transmission tune end the album, but an appropriate finale to an amazing afternoon. Many thanks to BOC and Warp for putting this together, and for the take home goodies at the end. Culminated with an amazing sunset over the desert as well; really amazing event.

I made it back from the desert with my brother. Echoing the postings that I've skimmed through that the album is beautiful. It's emotionally heavier then ''[[Geogaddi]]'' with all that is fantastic about ''[[TCH]]'''s production. Echoing the Carpenter vibe too. Everyone I met was excited, friendly and cool. Once the album begun it went quiet until the end before anyone made a noise. Atmospheric to a T. My favorite moment was this little girl running out in front of a half of the crowd to play as the uplifting latter portion of the album was beginning. She was so happy in unison. Perfect soundtrack moment. Spoilers & Things: -There's a huge Coca Cola Silo out there (along with the Skyliner Drive in). Trans Canada to the fullest. -We were asked to keep postings under-wrap, but were told we'd be hearing the album -"[[Jacquard Causeway]]" was the heaviest track emotionally on first digest. -"[[Cold Earth]]" is the Detroit Track. -"[[Sick Times]]" is Sick. -I'm not sure where the "[[Palace Posy]]"/ROYGBIV connection was made in the track by track review. -"[[Come To Dust]]" has this moment in it's last seconds that shines -"[[Semena Mertvykh]]" is the track from the Tomorrow's Harvest Transmission. -The silence at the end of "[[Semena Mertvykh]]" with the desert breeze, sun setting and awesome people is something I'll remember. -The band texted Josh the organizer to tell us they loved us. cool shit. - We made out with swag. I picked up a large 18x24 poster and two smaller ones, along with a bunch of stickers. Sorry if this is rehash or spoilers but I had a great time and it was a long time coming. I'll edit this post with a link to some photos and videos when I'm not so tired. Thanks to the band and planners if you snoop this post for feedback, this has been super fun and has made me really happy.

Here's my notes on the songs/ general review <nowiki>---</nowiki> Ok, just got back. Here are my thoughts. In general, awesome experience, the setting was perfect. In honor of Scotland I took a few swills of some Ardbeg (neat). As to the album I would not call BoC going back to a '''[[Geogaddi]]''' or '''[[MHTRTC]]''' style, or a combo of th two. It is definitely a logical progression from ''[[TCH]]'' although primarily from something like "[[Oscar See Through Red Eye]]". They make dense, layered complex stuff now. The minimalism is gone. In some respects I like hearing their sounds with a chance to breathe. You get a little of that in the ambient interludes. That being said, ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]'' is an intense, detailed great ride. I mentioned earlier there were noticeable elements of extremely vintage synths (think 70s Tangerine Dream (Phaedra) of Jean Michael Jarre's Oxygen). Maybe some Bladerunner sounding Vangelis. John Carpenter has been mentioned. It's all swirling around in there. I have a video of the first three tracks. I think the sound quality came out pretty good. Trying to figure out how to ujpload it right now. I took notes on each track. "[[Gemini]]", "[[Reach For The Dead]]", "[[White Cyclosa]]" - you heard them. "[[Gemini]]" was a perfect into track, got me in the proper mindframe for BoC. "[[Jacquard Causeway]]" - Intense. When the album kicks into high gear. I really dug what I found to be almost jazzy sounding noodling on what may have been a wurlitzer. It gave a lose feel. One of highlights of album for sure. "[[Telepath]]" - the darking counting voice one. I wrote "unmistakably BoC. Nice interlude track. Keeps mood intense." "[[Cold Earth]]" - You've heard this one by now. A better track in its full sonic glory. I put this own down as giving me a Vangelis vibe on some of the synths. "[[Transmisiones Ferox]]" - Psycaedelic, buried vocals, really dark heartbeat style bass pulse. "[[Sick Times]]" - This one again had an almost jazzy feel with a vintage electric organ or piano sound. Don't know if the beat is the "dopest" but it is a hard kicking break beat. The melody parts give the feel of quick tempo that vaguely reminded me of Poppy Seed. Again with the vintage synths (something close to Oxygene sounding). Another one of the best cuts on the album. "[[Collapse]]" - This is the one I think might have had a Moog sequencer. It reminded me of Phaedra. Deep track with a great bass line that also functions as a counter melody. Everything from Jacquard Causway to here flowed and was all excellent. As good a stretch as there is on any Boc album IMO. "[[Palace Posy]]" - This one was a bit eccentric. Vaguely pizzicato string sounding melody. "[[Split Your Infinities]]" - This was my initial favorite track on the album. Swirling melody that morphs into what I wrote was "ominous and joyous at the same time. Holy fuck." All the great elements of a great Boc track and shows how skilled they are in their craft. "[[Uritual]]" - Buzzy dissosant drone. One of better interludes I can recall and again keeps momentum from Split Your Infities. "[[Nothing Is Real]]" - Treated piano, retro sounding break beat. Nice track I could see this one being popular with the non-diehards but I don't mean that as a slight. "[[Sundown]]" - Very Boc synth pads, layered again with what I call the ancient analog Vangelic et all sound. "[[New Seeds]]" - Creates a melody almost out of radio static. After that I thought I heard discernable guitar sound... Sounds like what I know to be called col legno on a violin where you flip the blow and hit the strings with the wood part (used most prominently at the beginning of Holtz's Mars). Keeps buildings and immensely dense. This could be a polarizing track. "[[Come To Dust]]" - "Eerie with a great laconic break beat." Also a highlight of the album for me. "[[Semena Mertvykh]]" - This is more or the less the song from the trailer. The static is gone and there is instead a stunning dark and dissonant background noise. It sounds a little bit like the beginning of Metallica's "Damage Inc" (the last seconds before the thrash guitar comes in ) but with a strong helicopter effect. I love the melody of this song. Glad it is on the album. A perfect closer really (as exit music). I loved the album overall. Where it rates in the context of their catalog? No idea at this point. Really glad to have the experienence of the build up and then the surprise listening party. Def treat for US fans. There were probably 100 people there, some came from as far as Arizona.

Before I throw my two cents in, I gotta say something to all those who made the drive today: How good was that shower when you got home? Hope yours was as momentous as mine. So, today..... The setting was absolutely perfect. The desert has always been a second home to me, and with the addition of the abandoned water slides, buildings, graffiti, clipped palm trees, staircases, and general post apocalyptic vibe it was just ideal. The strangest part about the location for me was that I remember coming to the park as a kid. As I stood at the top of the now crumbling towers, I vividly recalled being launched down a slithery tube to a pool of blue water below. And now here I was, strolling around the shell of a water park. But for an entirely different reason, and with eyes that have seen a lot since then. The weather was great, parking plentiful (ha!), and perfect for random photos. I ran into a good friend straight away, who was actually there for a totally unrelated photo shoot! She had no idea about the [[BOC]] event until she arrived, but is a fan and stayed for the album premiere. Sawa! The amount of random stuff strewn about was really cool, I found some kids playing cards, weird old necklaces, and took home a "Welcome to Lake Delores" sign. Not much to add about the album......it was incredible. The wind and surroundings obviously boosted the experience of hearing it for the first time, but as someone noted already it'll take on different forms the more you listen to it. Headphones will be an entirely different experience, listening in the car, etc. It absolutely shows progression, a palate both familiar and refined. As I heard someone say on the way out, "not as warbly as other albums, but still has that strange and haunting thing going on". Enough beats and atmospheric passages to satisfy fans of all of their work. I loved the silence between tracks, as everyone waited for the next to begin. It was a meaty length (shut up), and I couldn't help wishing for more when it was over. But for some odd reason which I can't explain - it felt kind of final to me. Who knows, this may the last we hear of [[BOC]]. More than likely not, but it was a vibe I couldn't help but feel. Hmmmm.... The crew were really nice guys. The dudes who brought out the PA gear used to work with a friend of mine, so we traded a few quick stories about him. And the english guy from [[Warp]], Josh I believe? Nice guy as well, and we talked about how my father mastered the "[[Beck - Broken Drum|Broken Drum]]" remix they did with Beck years ago. Kudos to them for helping bring this day to fruition. I also talked to the property owner a bit, who said he's planning on re-opening the water park with an added RV park and possibly a motorcross track. Seems far fetched, but who knows? Maybe we won't see it in it's current condition for very long...... I have some pictures I'll post when I get them loaded up, and if anyone is really desperate for a sticker - send me a PM and an address. I have maybe ten I could part with. More later, I'm fried. This post is gonna look bizarre to me after I get some rest, so excuse the rambling.

Yesterday was an amazing experience and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I didn't think anything was actually going to happen until I saw this forum blowing up so I jumped into the car at 3pm and hauled some serious ass to the middle of the desert. I made it at 4:59 pm.
 
I know most of you who attended think the album is truly an exceptional piece of work and while I tend to agree, I don't think it will go down as their defining piece of work.
 
I jumped on the [[BoC]] bandwagon when ''[[Music Has the Right to Children]]'' was released. And as much as I love everything they put out, ''[[Trans Canada Highway]]'' takes the cake. I know I know, its not even a full length, but memories aside I think this small EP had the biggest impact on me.
 
Anyway, back to the point. I think ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest|TH]]'' is truly a special album, I dont think it eclipses any full length that they have released to date, including ''[[The Campfire Headphase|Campfire Headphase]]''. I know many of you write that album off and I understand why, but I find it very engaging and rather refreshing when compared to some of their heavier material. ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest|TH]]'' flows between dark and light. It tromps you through the depths of tense melancholy and then lifts you to a comforting warm embrace. The album flows like any of their other major releases, with ample droning interjections that relay you to the next chapter. Its so familiar, but seemingly new. It never fails to intrigue.
 
''[[Tomorrow's Harvest|TH]]'' is a solid mix between ''[[Geogaddi]]'' and ''[[Music Has the Right to Children]]''. There are a couple of gems that really shine and then there are a few others (as someone else mentioned) that take some getting used to. For those of you absolutely aching to hear the new album, I really believe its worth waiting for. Each song is extremely complex and I highly doubt low quality recordings would be able to pick up on the nuance each song offers. Yes, you'll at least know what the damn thing sounds like, but would it be worth it? Was waiting for so many years worth taking a peak at low quality recordings?
 
Half of me hopes no one uploads the full set and the other half of me wishes I was "that" guy who saved the day for all of those who don't live in SoCal.
 
So until June 10th comes, I will be checking this forum regularly to see which one of you makes the first move for sharing the other tunes. Am I going to judge you? Probably, but I totally know why you'd do it </blockquote>

Thought I'd add my experience on 5/27/13 to the rest.
 
After following along voraciously during the [[Cosecha Transmisiones|RSD incident]] and up through the album reveal I sort of stepped back, anticipating nothing more than a 40 day wait for the album to be released.
 
When I heard about [[Tomorrow%27s_Harvest_Viral_Marketing_Campaign#Lake_Dolores|Tokyo]], then the boston thing, and the [[Tomorrow%27s_Harvest_Viral_Marketing_Campaign#May_27th_-_17:00_PDT|sattelite image tweet]], I knew I had to be there. I have long wanted to go explore [[wikipedia:Lake Dolores Waterpark|Lake Dolores Waterpark]], I've seen it many times driving on I15 and it will hold a special place in my heart now that I not only got to explore it, but got to explore it during a special [[Boards of Canada]] event with so many amazing people.
 
I had a half day at work, and I got home right around the time [[Tomorrow%27s_Harvest_Viral_Marketing_Campaign#Tweets|Tonx tweeted]] that he had to be discrete, and "!". It was the "!" that really lit a fire under me and by 2pm Lauren and I were off. Upon arriving around 4, We noted a small number of cars in the parking lot, which we parked next to and proceeded to head towards a large group of people who seemed to be beginning to walk into the park. No one knew what was going on, or what we were supposed to do. I asked if anyone knew where [[Tomorrow%27s_Harvest_Viral_Marketing_Campaign#Tweets|tonx]] was, and was told something about "the highest tower", which I identified and advanced towards. At the base of the tower I found [[Tomorrow%27s_Harvest_Viral_Marketing_Campaign#Tweets|Tonx]] - i think still google hangout-ing at that point. In finding him I was also told that at 5pm we were to be in front of a vintage metal camper.
 
We explored a bit, climbing the observation tower and shooting a few snippets of footage. I couldn't think of anything but the camper though and soon had to go set up my tripod and camera. Around that time more people were gathering in front of the trailer as well including Paul whom I am very happy to have met. Around that time Josh from [[Warp]] (the announcer heard before and after the album) came over and asked Paul (and I) if we would only record 3 tracks. He explained that the band had requested no high quality recordings of any kind but that since "we came a long way" and brought our gear that he would allow us to shoot for the first 3. I was happy to oblige. Then it dawned on me... First three. We were going to hear the whole album. I pulled out my phone and texted my friend "WHOLE ALBUM, AWWW SHIT, Cant record after first three tracks, No live performance but its a listening party, AHHHHHH", which I think he then posted on here.
 
5pm came and went and people were continuing to show up. The lincolnshire poacher came over and we chatted a bit - I can't believe I got to meet someone that was at Redmoon and have the first listen to ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest|TH]]'' with them. Phenomenal. Eventually around 5:30 Josh came on the PA, thanked everyone for coming out, and said that it was the wish of the band that there be no recording after the first 3 tracks. and without further ado, ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]'' by [[Boards of Canada]].
 
'''Below I am going to detail my thoughts on the album, so if you're trying to stay spoiler free then maybe don't read it.'''
 
As much as I love the first three tracks, the album really starts cooking with gas starting at "[[Jacquard Causeway]]".
 
"[[Gemini]]"
 
"[[Reach For The Dead]]"
 
"[[White Cyclosa]]"
 
Wispy nostalgic tones with plucky synth layers woven around it. Dissonance makes a larger and larger appearance on the track as it progresses. Fades out slowly. A great vignette-type track pacing the mood between [[Reach For The Dead|RFTD]]" and "[[Jacquard Causeway|Jacquard]]".
 
"[[Jacquard Causeway]]"
 
Lurching drums and a lamenting melody give the feeling of wandering through a wasteland. a little like watching civilization be build up and destroyed again and again with zero progress. Not a happy track. Heavily layered and very beautiful.
 
"[[Telepath]]"
 
Starts with smooth boc tones and a computerized voice reading numbers. "Testing 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7..." if I remember correctly. Unmistakable [[BOC]]. The voice reading numbers distorts intermittently as the music weaves around it. Feels like a numbers station transmission. What are our instructions?
 
"[[Cold Earth]]"
 
Eerie intro with a huge bass throb that comes in. Dark and Epic. If "[[Telepath]]" is a numbers station transmission then "[[Cold Earth]]" is the plan or events set into motion by that transmission. This song will make you rock to the music. I remember seeing people rocking, bobbing their heads, etc. There's a brief grunty highly distorted and cut off childs voice that comes in every few beats for a fraction of a beat that is too beautiful for words. This was one of the many times during the listening party i was overwhelmed with emotion. My audio of this track has one of the two children that were there crying a bit in the background. Perfect.
 
"[[Transmisiones Ferox]]"
 
didgeridoos? Layered and distorted. Mind blowing. Airs out beautifully at the end. Imputes a feeling of pursuit or hiding.
 
"[[Sick Times]]"
 
Utterly fucking amazing. Another groovy head bobber. Classic [[BOC]] sounds. Whole crowd was getting into this one as well.
 
"[[Collapse]]"
 
Scary.
 
"[[Palace Posy]]"
 
A emotional shift. Percussive, funky, off-beat. Stringy. Inquisitive. Godfuckingdamnit I LOVE IT. Chanty vocals that come in that I dont remember what they say but goddamnit i need to hear this track again and again and again. Earworm for sure. One of my favorites off the new album.
 
"[[Split Your Infinities]]"
 
Wondrous. Fucking amazing. Like gazing out at a valley populated with a beautifully destructed future city.
 
"[[Uritual]]"
 
Dark drone with layers of sad tones on top
 
"[[Nothing Is Real]]"
 
You know when you see somethings reflection in water but the water is rippling too much to make out exactly what it is? The beginning of this track is the audio equivalent of that. Vaguely familiar, slightly upbeat. Makes me feel like I'm watching a loop of a corporate logo on broken VHS as a child. Echos of a happier past.
 
"[[Sundown]]"
 
Sad, lamenting tones.
 
"[[New Seeds]]"
 
The emotional lows in this album serve as pacing for the weary but hopeful highs. This song is a "High". More strings. Feeling of rebuilding from the ashes. Theres a lot of work to be done here. Awesome, awesome awesome. I'm trying to limit the number of times I use the words "fucking amazing" to describe this album but I can't help it, it just is.
 
"[[Come To Dust]]"
 
WOW. So now we're in this epic future destroyed then rebuilt shithouse and its awesome but it also sucks.
 
"[[Semena Mertvykh]]"
 
The track from the [[Cosecha_Transmisiones#Album_Teaser|album reveal video]]. My audio of this track has the kids crying and my camera shutter clicking every 10 seconds or so. I might like my version more. We'll see when the album comes out.
 
'''End Spoilers'''
 
There was near-dead silence in between tracks, which was perfect and amazing. After the album ended though, there was around 30 seconds of solid silence before the guy from [[Warp]] came on the PA and thanked everyone for coming. Only then was there an eruption of applause. It was amazing. That brief period of silence was like a magic window for ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest|TH]]''. It was one of the most beautiful moments of my entire life thus far. In the middle of an abandoned water park with a handful of people all simultaneously reeling from what we've just collectively witnessed. The wind gusted lightly. Josh came on the PA and thanked us all. "I just got a text from the band. They wanted me to say they love you all". The crowd "awwwws". I yelled "IT WAS FUCKING AMAZING" and got some odd looks.
 
A box of goodies appeared and people crowded around and grabbed posters and stickers feverishly. Once the goodies were depleted, people began going their own ways and before long the camper and sound equipment were packed up and hauled away. We stayed a bit, shot the coke sign, and wandered. I tried to talk with Josh and just generally take in the wealth of info being shared in the various conversations people were having with him. I also spoke with the property manager and found out that the waterpark is under new ownership, and that they plan on refurbishing the whole thing, putting in an RV park and generally doing away with things as they are. I am glad to have gotten the chance to explore the place in its current state.
 
Eventually as it began getting dark the property manager drove up in his SUV and yelled "OUT, NOW. I'M LOCKING THE GATE", which is why he got a special thanks in my video. I really appreciate that he didnt just kick us out right away and I got to explore a touch. Speaking of my video, here's a link again because I'm ridiculous and can't stop sharing it. It has Paul's HQ Audio (thanks again Paul!) http://youtu.be/t6G8gViaoVg I also shot a bit of Gemini with my phone. http://youtu.be/H7fUp32VRwA

Saintsantiago: New Page regarding the Boards of Canada Pirate Radio transmissions in 2013

==BOCHF (Boards of Canada HF Pirate Radio) ==

On 1 September 2013, a shortwave radio enthusiast, Thomas Witherspoon, posted a blog entry on [https://shortwavearchive.com/archive/i6g7qo7y76lzulgbc8xlpop7b9w9m2 The Shortwave Radio Audio Archive]. He reported that on the previous evening, Chris Smolinski, an admin of [https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,12347.0.html HF Underground forums], discovered a new shortwave pirate radio station: BOCHF.

BOCHF’s first broadcast began on 30 August 2013 at 23:10 UTC on 6,925kHz USB. Witherspoon recounts his experience in the [https://shortwavearchive.com/archive/i6g7qo7y76lzulgbc8xlpop7b9w9m2 blog post], reproduced below:

''Friday night (30 August 2013), I came across a new shortwave pirate radio station: BOCHF. BOCHF started broadcasting around 23:10 UTC on 6,925 kHz USB, and after about a twenty-five minute set, took a five minute break, then returned with a forty-two minute set, ending with an SSTV QSL. The signal, as you can hear below, is fairly strong, but interference was also strong at times; especially from ''SSB pescadores'' (fishermen) and the usual summer static crashes."

''The entire mix consisted of Boards of Canada music from [[Tomorrow’s Harvest]]. There were no vocal ID’s, but there were messages in CW (Morse code) which clearly identifies this pirate as BOCHF. The artists Boards of Canada have always had an affinity with shortwave radio, so I find a shortwave pirate station playing their music to be an appropriate tribute. Due to sound card problems, I was unable to decode the SSTV QSL, but thankfully a great copy was posted on HF Underground’s pirate radio forum (see above) by forum contributor, Chris Smolinski.''

[[File:BOCHF0.jpg]]

-----

The station’s digital QSL card is a grainy image of the [[Tomorrow’s Harvest]] album, with superimposed Spanish words, “cosecha transmissiones [sic]” (“harvest transmissions”) which consistently align with the themes of BoC’s marketing of the album. It is also worthy to note that “SSB pescadores” is active, primarily Spanish-speaking, freeband radio traffic and fishing fleets operating on SSB (Single Sideband) frequencies between 6-8 MHz. The use of a radio frequency for fishermen could be a clever reference to Jesus and His apostles, the “Fisher of Men”, another biblical reference related to [[Tomorrow’s Harvest]].

Chris Smolinski, discusses the BOCHF discovery with other members on the [https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,12347.0.html HF Underground] forums pages below, along with some of the translated Morse Code (forum messages reproduced as posted):

'''Topic: BOCHF 6925 USB 2310 UTC 30 Aug 2013'''

'''ChrisSmolinski:'''
Came on with what could have been PSK125, music now. Good signal, S8. Closed with CW, perhaps something close to GET A DRINK GET NITE B BACK SHORTLY 4 BRK BOCHF BOCHF BOCHF BOCHF. So I am naming this station BOCHF. The op can correct me if I am wrong :-)

'''rdla4:'''
Good into GA at 2316 UTC, kind of a new age sounding piece of music. Signal is topping S8 here.

'''hsmith77:'''
"White Cyclosa " Boards of Canada at 2318 Nice S5/7 signal
"JacQuard Cowboy " " " at 2322
off2335 after CW. No Id Heard .
QSL appreciated
Station back at 2342 Playing music by Boards of Canada . Slight interf. from pesties S5/7

'''LighthouseOhio:'''
Decent / fair into NE Ohio. Lots of noise. New age music, No IDs heard thus far in the first 15+ minutes.
Became Much stronger later on. At 0005 fairly clean signal with a lot less atmospheric noise, etc.

'''ChrisLobdell:'''

0006 "Sundown" by Boards Of Canada
0008 "New Seeds" by Boards Of Canada
0012 "Come To Dust" Boards Of Canada

ID might stand for Boards Of Canada HF? !

'''Beerus Maximus:'''
Extremely heavy interference from the Azores peskie net. Nice signal, but destroyed by peskie QSO. Ops: please consider operations off of 6925 KHz, which is completely 0wned by the Azores peskies and render most stations on 6925 KHz inaudible.

'''RCCI:'''
00:06 Just tuned in - Signal strength about 2-3 - Terrible static crashes here from a storm which passed about 40 minutes ago.
00:11 can hear some music in background but it has odd sounding pitches. Couldn't identify to save my life…

'''Mentholyptus:'''
Good S7-S9 here, nice signal 2353, tune in progress 2355, atmospheric tune 0000, atmospheric tune ---peskies starting to act up briefly--- 0006, atmospheric tune 0008, pulse-y tune 0013, atmospheric tune w guitar 0021, SSTV tones 0022, ---off--- Thanks for the k00l tunes!

'''hammarhead:'''
S9 into NE Ohio tonight with some static to go along. Funky spacey music format that I would guess to be a new age format. Thanks for the show!.
- CW ID as BOCHF RADIO at 00:19 UTC

'''Dr. Strangelove:'''
Steady S7 signal, sounding good. Interesting music, Thanks for the show!

'''Sealord:'''
6925 USB Good to decent signal here with fading conditions. 00:20z new age music w/someone sending morse as well 00:21z Scottie 2 SSTV: 00:22z Off

Thanks BOCHF Radio!

'''ChrisSmolinski:'''
I wrote up a short blog entry about the station: http://hfunderground.com/blog/?p=105 [404 not found]

'''hammarhead:'''
The recording was great, I copied the last part I missed last night when I couldn't find a pen: "'''We plant the new seeds but forget the old a lesson learned the seeds of the dead are watching reach for the dead the old, the fading save them from the forgotten sew [sic] the harvest'''"

-----

The next day, on 1 September 2013, BOCHF transmits again. Witherspoon reports again:

''Again this morning (1 September 2013) at 2:20 UTC–and last night, during a very active night of pirate radio activity–BOCHF crept onto the airwaves, this time on 6,920 kHz USB. Yesterday, BOCHF played the Boards of Canada album [[Tomorrow’s Harvest]]; this morning, they played their album [[In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country]]. And how did it sound? Combining the music of the Boards of Canada with the sonic texture of the shortwave ether is a winning combination, in my opinion. But don’t take my word for it: take a listen yourself.''

''BOCHF also sent me this hi-resolution QSL card after hearing the off-air recordings.''

[[File:BOCHF1.jpeg]]

Many thanks, BOCHF!

-----

The SSTV SQL of broadcast 2 is artwork from A Beautiful Place Out In The Country with interesting verbiage:

[[File:BOCHF2.jpeg]]

6920kHz - 0220z - from the Causeway
1/9/2013 - remember waco

Transmitting at 6920kHz or 6.9mHz could be a nod to [[1969]], [[Sixtyniner]], [[June 9th]], and many other “69” references in BoC’s discography. The Causeway is a reference to [[Jacquard Causeway]] in [[Tomorrow’s Harvest]]. Remembering Waco points to the Federal raid on the Branch Davidians in 1993, as well as numerous samples and references [[In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country]], [[Geogaddi]] and elsewhere in BoC’s music catalog.

After these two transmissions, BOCHF goes offline without a trace. It is unknown if Boards of Canada themselves or someone from the Hexagon Sun Collective broadcast these two pirate radio transmissions. However, the timing in 2013, the branding and the verbiage of the SSTV SQL cards, plus the subtle nods to BoC’s discography, make it plausible that these are legitimate Boards of Canada events.

Recordings of the BOCHF Pirate Broadcasts can be found at [https://archive.org/details/sraa-i6g7qo7y76lzulgbc8xlpop7b9w9m2/BOCHFpart2-6.925MHz-30Aug13-2345Z.mp3 Archive.org]

The ''[[Geogaddi (promo)]]'' was a one-sided 12" vinyl disc advertising [[Boards of Canada]]'s album, [[Geogaddi]]. The center label is in the shape of a turquoise hexagon and all two of the tracks are uncredited. The second song, ''[[Beware The Friendly Stranger]]'' contains a locked groove.

# "[[Alpha And Omega]]" – 6:58
# "[[Beware The Friendly Stranger]]" – 0:30

'''Side B:'''
# "[[Magic Window]]"

==Trivia==
*Copies of the promo were distributed at the [[Other live sets#Promotional events|Geogaddi listening parties]].
**Copies included a blue hexagon figure.

*A 180 gram version exists that was given out at the Warp Records party in London, December 2001.
*Playing the promo at 45rpm is similar to the official release on Geogaddi. However, playing the promo at 33rpm evokes a different experience.

* Throughout the song, there is an underlying drone which sounds like a cabin of an airliner during travel.
* 15 seconds into the track, just before the beat comes in, a voice possibly saying "what?" can be heard. The voice has a tinny quality to it as if recorded from a shortwave radio. When reversed, the voice sounds like "Hell" or "Help".
* What sounds like a flute line at :47 and 2:51 is actually a reversed electric piano sample.[clarification needed]

* Currently a solo electronic artist under the name [[wikipedia:Christ.|Christ.]] signed to [[wikipedia:Benbecula|Benbecula]]. (Now a defunct record label as of 2009.)
* Credited on original ''[[Twoism]]'' release but not credited on the 2002 re-release.
* Thanked on ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'', which is credited only to "[[Mike]] + [[Marcus]]".
* Horne left the band for personal reasons.

== Theories ==
* Only a minor member of [[Boards of Canada]], which is why his name was removed from the re-release
* Asked to have his named removed from the re-release to maintain his own identity seperate from the band. This seems consistent with Benbecula's policy of deflecting questions regarding his association with [[Boards of Canada|BoC]] and the complete omission of any mention of Boards of Canada on Christ.'s pages.
* Christ. has a series of exceptionally rare early release, which are apparently in a house vein.

Societas x Tape is a 2 hour mixtape by [[Boards of Canada]] broadcast Sunday 23rd June 2019 on [[wikipedia:NTS Radio|NTS Radio]] as part of WxAxRxP, [[Warp Records]] 30th anniversary celebration event. Mostly consisting of tracks by other artists, the mix was described by NTS as "a two-hour selection of mind melting offbeat psychedelia".

* The title likely refers to the Jacquard loom, a loom created in the early 19th century that used punchcards to control the loom's individual strings. As such, it is an extremely early example of binary programming. These cards would later be the inspiration for IBM's early mainframe punchcards.
*The initials of the title, "JC" ,could be a reference to Jesus Christ, an initialism in the same style of "Satanic" from the track SATellite ANthem ICarus.
*Jacquard may also refer to [[wikipedia:Albert Jacquard|Albert Jacquard]], a geneticist well known for defending the concept of 'degrowth'. 'Degrowthists' aim to maximize happiness and well-being through non-consumptive means—sharing work, consuming less, while devoting more time to art, music, family, culture and community. Jacquard also took a strong stand against commercial use of the human genome in the 1990s.
*[[wikipedia:Giant's_Causeway|Giant's Causeway]] is the name of an irish coastline consisting of hexagonal basalt columns.
*A [[wikipedia:Causeway|causeway]] is a road or railway route across a broad body of water or wetland raised up on an embankment.
*The way the track makes use of [[wikipedia:counterpoint|counterpoint]] for the melodies seems to be a nod to the counterpoint work of [[wikipedia:Steve Reich|Steve Reich]]. The way that Steve Reich structures his counterpoint pieces is nearly identical to Jacquard Causeway: an element, phrase, or melody is presented and played through once, at first at a higher volume than the the rest. Eventually the new element decreases in volume, blending in with the rest, which effectively makes room for a new element. Eventually all the smaller, melodic enemies layered on top of each other create new, "unintended" melodies. For an example, see Steve Reich's "Electric Counterpoint - Slow" in the videos section below.
* May reference p. 105 of "Ten Thousand Saints" by Eleanor Henderson (2011) because of a bumping between two lines of two words "Birkenjacque's" and "Kramaro" (e.g.. Cause-mo Kramar) [http://i.imgur.com/SdrXgAD.jpg scan]

== Interpretations ==

So first of all, it's a difficult song because it feels like it's in 3/2 time (though it has been suggested that it is basically in 4/4 (double-time), with kick on 4.5, snare on 3. The 3/2 feel is just a lazy superimposed polyrhythm). This is far from common in electronic music. You have to relax the part of your brain that's used to 4/4 time and just let the electro-waltz flow through you.

Now, when you listen past the beat, you'll hear loops, but they're different by just a little bit on each measure, with new patterns coming into play as old ones leave. In many ways, it's very much like a loom, with the starts of new patterns entering into the threading as the completion of old patterns winds its way out. In the end, you've basically gone through a tapestry of music. Technically speaking, the melodies were probably passed through an electronic delay that repeats every bar and fades out slowly over the course of many bars.

Certainly the Jacquard mentioned is the loom-maker; he's one of the first people to make a program of any kind, and a machine that could use arbitrary programs to affect actions in reality. That's an amazing step forward for humanity and certainly paved the way for the development of stored-program computers. Without this criticial insight in some way or another, we might have been stuck on analogue patch computation for a long time. I think it would have happened without Jacquard, for sure, but nevertheless he was first, and so we should know his name.

The causeway is therefore his; and causeway is a perfect choice of words because the 'cause' at the beginning implies that there's a reason for it to exist, a starting point if you will, without saying anything about the end of it. They could have said "superhighway" ala the Information Superhighway that people sometimes call the Internet, but the Internet is merely an output of the causeway that we're on as a species: the progress of technological development. Also, it sounds better; BoC doesn't like to hit you with a hammer, subtlety is their game.
I think the song weaves the themes of technological development like a loom.

Early in the song, it's a simple synth rhythm (that really harkens back to A Few Old Tunes style simplicity); this is the loom, and the barest indication of possibilities. As the song proceeds, new layers come in, some hopeful, some melancholic, some that sound almost weary, like a person burdened by a load. They fit together rhythmically like clockwork, different periods lining up with each other at common denominations, furthering the automation theme.

At around 3:50 or so we start to pick up on some newer-style BoC themes, particular musical keys we've heard before in their work. A sense of contentment and ease comes over the song, reducing the tension from before. If we extend the historical metaphor, could this be an age when technology was reducing work with no obvious downsides, a "golden age"?

Eventually, the beat dies away, and we're left with one of the most hopeful sounds on the entire album. In my view, this is BoC's comment on the promise of technology, not necessarily on the reality of it (as the album certainly gets darker from there).

Seven Forty Seven

2017-02-14T20:52:05Z

Saintsantiago: New information regarding title.

{{Infobox Song|
| name=Seven Forty Seven
| runtime=6:44
| appearson=[http://www.discogs.com/release/2024532 WARPCD20³]}}

== Comments ==
*The track was featured on the [[Boards of Canada]] website in 2002 (now available [http://www.atomless.com/projects/boc/site/ here]) as an infinite interactive loop. The playback could be controlled via keyboard, making it possible to hear distinct parts of the track separately. This version contains the "take my hand" vocal sample also used in "[[You Could Feel The Sky]]".
*"[[Seven Forty Seven]]" was released in 2009 on [http://www.discogs.com/release/2024532 Warp20 (Unheard)] as the first track. This version contains an eerie element that also appears in "[[Audiotrack 06]]", but here it is much clearer and slightly faster.
*It has been documented by fans that the vinyl version of "[[Seven Forty Seven]]" can be played at both 33 1/3 and 45 rpm, revealing different elements of music in each version played.
*"[[Seven Forty Seven]]" is likely in reference to the [[wikipedia:Boeing 747|Boeing 747]] aircraft, which was first entered into service in 1970. Many themes of BoC's music involve references to air travel and the 1970's.
*"[[Seven Forty Seven]]", numerically, is 7 4 7. The sum of 7+4+7 is 18. 18 can be reduced into three sixes or 666.
*"[[Seven Forty Seven]]", when numbered literally, is 7 40 7. The sum of 7+40+7 is 54. 54 can be reduced into nine sixes or 666-666-666.

Slow This Bird Down

Saintsantiago:

{{Infobox Song|
| name=Slow This Bird Down
| runtime=6:09
| appearson=[[The Campfire Headphase]]}}

[[Image:1970's-airliner.jpg|left|thumb|200px|A 1970's airliner.]]

== Comments ==
* Near the end of this song is an aural collage of shortwave radio noise. Morse, teletype, and various data signals can be heard including a radio modem (called the Harris RF-5710) used by hobbyists and naval military services. The Morse code heard at 05:20 decodes to "CQ de GM3DP" (a Scottish callsign).

==Samples/Lyrics==

==Trivia==
* "Slow This Bird Down" is pilot jargon for reducing speed during a landing.

== Comments ==

== 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 believe anything"
* A looping sample 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, the sample heard can also be heard at 2:42 in Rue The Whirl from MHTRTC
*At 3:16 a female voice says "Thirty."

== Trivia ==

*Sick Times could be a reference to the First of Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Pestilence.

== Comments ==

* According to Michael Sandison in an interview with The Guardian, "There's a palindromic structure centred around the track Collapse in the middle." <ref>http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2013/jun/06/boards-of-canada-become-more-nihilistic</ref> On Tomorrow's Harvest, there are exactly 8 tracks before Collapse and 8 tracks afterwords.

*'Collapse' in this context is most likely a term referring to the sudden failure of a system, organization, business, etc. <ref> http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/collapse_3 </ref>

== Samples / Lyrics ==
A voice saying "zero zero eight zero (nine?) can be heard at 2:00 when played at twice normal speed.

== Trivia ==
*The track is identical in structure when played forward or reversed.
*On the vinyl release, Collapse is the final track on Side B. It can be said the abrupt ending of this track is more dramatic than in other media formats, since Palace Posy does not immediately follow, giving Collapse a greater sense of fatalism.
