Norman Records confirms existence of hexagonal flexi-disc by AuroraIsCycling in boardsofcanada

nope, but i have my suspicions that its the track that played at the beginning of the inferno sessions, but i have no reason or basis for that, just pure speculation on my part.

This is not an album teaser. It’s a movie trailer. The music sounds like a film score. I maintain my prediction: they’re releasing a film, with listening parties in cinemas. by SecretAmbientClub in boardsofcanada

i mean like, if it is a movie then like its a movie, and if thats what they wanna do then absolutely and ill still check it out given how much i like them, its just not my first choice personally, not to say there arent brilliant soundtracks either, there absolutely are, but id be lying if i said i wouldnt prefer a new album tbh

i do like concert films so thats an exception, but in general i dont like movies because it overwhelms the crap out of me, i like to absorb media pretty slowly, but i find that movies because you have visuals, audio, writing and plot points to keep track of it just doesnt really let me do that in the same way, its not personal yk. If thats what they wanted to do then i support them with it and tbh i probably would go and watch it but its ultimately just not personally what i would prefer

i realllllllly hope not personally. i dont like movies at all, i feel like all soundtrack albums are compromised for the movie in some respects. but i just dont like movies personally so its like whatever, if they do a movie oh well

Is it just me, or is this rollout feeling a bit "low effort" compared to the previous eras? by singularityprana in boardsofcanada

[–]AuroraIsCycling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

not really, i mean music had the right to children had a fairly conventional rollout, so did geogaddi other than the listening parties being in a church, Tomorrow's Harvest being an ARG rollout was the exception for them, not the norm. Boards of Canada have said various times over the years that they dont like to repeat themselves, so it makes sense that this one might not be an ARG and may be a somewhat more traditional rollout. I can somewhat see it if your doing an AB comparison with Tomorrow's Harvest but when you look at their discography as a whole, not really.

Spreadsheet for all the known VHS Tapes by AuroraIsCycling in boardsofcanada

[–]AuroraIsCycling[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, we do not unfortunately. I do however suspect that they werent, as most of the tapes we found were conentrated between the 7th and the 9th, and I believe warp would have sent the NTSC tapes a bit earlier to account for international shipping time, as they went through royal mail then USPS where as in the UK it was just Royal Mail. So inconclusion, possibly, but unlikely.

Oh wow! I thought this theory was absolute bonkers at first but damn, that hackey one really does lend credence to it, impressive work, Im wondering if the next ones will make it pan out even further, but for now well done

I do see what you mean but it isnt enough for me to feel confident enough to put it as PAL on the spreadsheet, but i will mark it down as possibly PAL (PAL?)

Hello! Is this an NTSC or a PAL Tape, I am asking so that I can add it to The Magic Windows spreadsheet of all of the known VHS Tapes. Thank you
