/boc/ - Boards of Canada General

Why do we need a general, again?

>>71502226
daily threads on the same shit happen anyway and people get troggered

Still waiting for Hooper Bay and Acid Memories... I guess

>>71502211
generals are penis

ORANGE

BoC are making best hip-hop beats ever, better then Madlib and Avalanches.

oh fuck off

>tfw they will never make another great album

>>71502297
Fuck you cunt

>>71502211
>General

oh fuck off

I feel like I'm the only one who loves Tomorrow's Harvest, even though it's only my third favourite it's still incredible.

>>71502336
There is genuinely no BoC track I dislike other than Magic Window and Zeotrope. It's not that TH was bad, but it was a disappointment for many.

is there any reasoning to the numbers in the song Aquarius?

At first they're in sequential order but then they just go random, it always me a numbers station / coded message sort of vibe.

>>71502356
the sum of the numbers adds up to 666

>>71502351
Magic Window is a fucking banger fuck off

>>71502448
alright alright, but zeotrope is dead.

I kinda have this project in my mind, of making "imagined" versions of their publicly unreleased albums, as in how I imagine those tracks sound like, especially Play By Numbers. Too bad my guitar and production skills are pretty basic.

Anyone seen this? I think it evokes some serious Geogaddi/MHTRTC vibes

BoC haven't released an album since 2013 what is there to talk about that hasn't been said before?

Wouldn't be surprised if they dropped a The offshoot EP similar to how A Beautiful Place was Geogaddi offshoots.

I love Geogaddi but I can't seem to get into MHTRTC at all, also what are some good rare BoC tracks?

I think the next stage for BoC is not new material, but rather release unpublished ones.

>>71502923
That would make sense, they were supposed to have a shitton of extra material they had to cut from TH

>>71502928
I don't see Seven Forty Seven talked about too much. It was of the Warp boxset so not super rare.

Did I miss something? Are they finally putting shit out again?

>>71502928
MHTRTC is more hip-hop inspired while Geogaddi is more, well, IDM inspired.

On a side note I was just looking on yt to post some of my favorite rare BoC tracks and Jesus why do most of them have over 100,000 views? 2-3 years ago they didn't exceed 50,000.

The possible Noatak

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDAglAOcqy8

>>71502336
You're not. A lot of people just disliked it because it had a different vibe than any of their other albums.

I personally love it, I love the post-nuclear vibe it gives off. I don't think it's better than Geogaddi or Campfire Headphase, but it's still great.

>>71502546
That's not kid for today or sunshine recorder or split your infinities or chromakey dreamcoat

>>71502287
This, in all honesty. They went to shit once they abandoned their hip-hop roots in favor of chill vibes and soundscaping. TCH was too guitar-heavy, TH was too drone-heavy, neither had any rhythmic creativity going on outside of odd one-off tracks like Cold Earth and some others.

Bring back the old b-boy BoC!

God damn Peacock Tail is too good.

>>71502287
I've always thought more or less the same. Are there any producers/beatmaker with a similar sound to boc but a little more hip hop driven?

Is anyone willing to make a BoC chart?

>Campfire Headphase
>Geogaddi
>MHTRTC

>>71503434

Wew

>>71503340
>He can't into CH or TH
I need m-muh beats or me no like

>>71503467
I hate to regurgitate that opinion, but something has to be at the bottom, and TH had some very weak vibes.

>>71502287
I never really understand people who can't into downtempo or instrumental hip hop. Like does some dude talking over the music really add to it that much?

>>71503434
>Geogaddi
>Campfire Headphase
>In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country
>Music Has the Right
>Twoism
>Tommorrow's Harvest
>Few Old Tunes
>Trans-Canada Highway

>>71503548
The bottom of an already strong list, at least.

>>71503548
A Few Old Tunes is worse though, it just feels unpolished. TH has a cohesive vision at least, and invokes a post-nuclear vibe, at least to me.

To each their own, of course. I wouldn't put Campfire on top, either. MHTRTC is supreme, but again, that was the first BoC album I encountered and clearly it has nostalgic pull, in many ways.

>>71503621
>>71503622
It's also worth noting that there is no album i don't like... They all have their ups and downs.

>>71503434
There already are several but why even have a chart? Just listen to shit.

Reminder to listen to Christ.'s Curio compilations of early material. The guy was a member of BoC until they got big with Twoism, and his compilations contain lots of tracks with that Old Tunes sound in them. Volume 2 is my personal favorite.

best BoC track

>>71504107
Listen to Oscar See Through Red Eye, if you still don't get it then you just aren't into that vibe, which is cool.

>>71504107
It's just not for you. It's cool senpai, no one is forcing you to like it.

I just like the chill psych vibe it gives off, probably my most listened too BoC album.

Plus if you ever try any hallucinogens, CH is an awesome trip.

TCH just makes me want to listen to Air instead

>>71504109
1911 is the year Satan was born

>>71504358

>>71504346

They don't even sound remotely similar. That's like saying listening to Aphex makes me want to just listen to Daft Punk instead.

This coming from someone who loves CH and Moon Safari. Just listen

I meant the whole psych rock/trip-hop influenced sound. Air does it better imho.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjFDlM-3JBo

>>71504397
That's the first of their work I bought. Many a tasty beat.

>>71502211
I've never understood why MHTRTC is so praised, TCH is so much more dynamic and "rich" in every single way.

>>71504109
The sum of numbers 1 to 36 adds to 666 - after 36 is when all the counting goes out of order.

>>71504397
All of the songs on Hi Scores appear on other BoC releases.

Everything you do is a Balloon is still one of my favorite BoC tracks tho.

>>71504579
>All of the songs
Turquoise Hexagon Sun found it's way on MHTRTC. Hi Scores (the track) and Nlogax appear on the commercially unreleased BoC Maxima while the remaining 3 tracks are exclusive to the EP.

>>71504579

If we're talking wide commercial releases, only two. Even though, it's the best sounding you'll ever get, especially the 2014 edition

>>71504634
What about on BoC maxima?

>>71504634

>Hi Scores (the track) and Nlogax appear on the commercially unreleased BoC Maxima
>Hi Scores

Don't you mean June 9th

Palace Posy, Cold Earth, Come To Dust, New Seeds and Reach for the Dead are some of the best tracks they've ever made.

Has anyone listened to the original LP version of Sixtyniner? Apparently it's 20-30 seconds longer

>>71503385
There's a bunch of Bandcamp artists with a similar sound, because everyone wants to replicate it. Check out pilotredsun for a more fun and light-hearted sound. Ital Tek has a similar ambience vibe to Tomorrow's Harvest. You might also like Tomppabeat's Harbor LP, it's a chill mainly hip-hop album.

>>71505042
none of those are hip-hop driven retard

>>71505058
Hip hop can literally be anything, retard.

Neither is BoC fuckwad

>>71504837
Some of BoC's early work sounds way to upbeat for their sound.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqpSdNe6tIo

While on the topic of BoC and hip-hop, I thought the beat on this sounded a lot like something from Geogaddi.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgYHo2HV-EY

>>71502384
...what?

>>71503497
boc are at their beast when they do beats, or were at least

just listen to basefree

>>71504458
lol

>>71502336
I love it anon. It gives me such a bleak and anxious feeling. Its great that they switch up their style so much from how warm campfire headphase was

always thought this untitled track from the mask 500 compilation was by boc until the guy who made it appeared on soundcloud and clarified that he has no connection to boc whatsoever

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tej5-xRsHdQ

>>71504989

Original cassette, actually

>>71502546
I actually agree but my personal fave right now has to be reach for the dead

>>71505284
That's just your opinion. Honestly even if they went back to simple beats like on some old tunes, there's so many artists making that sound now no one would care.

>>71505438
You say that as if the beats on the old tunes cassettes are trap beats or some shit.

>>71505465
Nigga it ain't hard to find people making any style of hip hop beats. Hip hop is the most over saturated genre right now, bar EDM, and even though I like their older sound a lot, it wouldn't stick out at all in today's market.

>>71505497
They really ought to release Play By Numbers, outside of Bowery Electric I can't think of many artists that tried fusing hip-hop with shoegaze.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEPPv-o68KY

>>71505284
>>71502287
>>71503340
I never really saw boc as a group that makes beats. outside of some old tunes it all just sounds like downtempo or ambient techno, not hip hop.

if you look at it like that, CH and TH make a lot more sense in their discog since they're both downtempo albums

>>71505570
They should. For real though, what keeps them from releasing all their old stuff like this and Catalog3 honestly?

They basically released a new song for anyone who missed it, the Nevermen Remix instrumental:

>>71509213

was there ever a hell interface album?

>>71509441
No, only a few remixes and rare songs.
>>71509404
Both were released on Bleep.

>>71509441
Just a cover, a remix, a remix of a remix, and a spoken word track.

>>71509404
They're just standalone remixes of album tracks. Personally think the Nevermen one is up there with their best. Sisters remix is nice. Midas Touch remix goes hard. These are my faves:
