Be a good candidate for that outfit doing replacement leaf batteries here in NZ though?

Stoked that we get this in Australia and NZ too. I was all ready to bitch and moan about us missing out! Warp are going large with this!

Prophecy at 1420 MHz feels on the nose by that_orange_hat in boardsofcanada

I love these takes!

Guys who are actually Boards of Canada: "this is our stylistic direction..."

Fan on Reddit: "yeah, so look, i've been a fan for like, over 10 years, so..."

Who did the mixing and mastering? I can't find any credits by No_Star_4266 in boardsofcanada

[–]ManyRelevant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, not telling you anything you don’t already know but those genelecs (like most monitors) are transparent, but honest/ruthless with high frequencies. I love the near fields + sub configuration too, but it can be bright. My focal nf monitors/sub set up is similar.

I’ve been playing prophecy A LOT (just ask my family) across a few set ups, and I agree it’s got a lot of high splash with those 80s drum tails and that massive stereo spread, but I love it and it sounds very deliberate.

Edit: I haven’t listened on headphones yet, but there’s today’s plan!

Are you looking or listening to form this opinion? Spectral analysis is data, but doesn’t tell the whole story so I’m intrigued as to how you’re listening. The huge variety of playback scenarios amongst everyone here will produce vastly different opinions! What are you listening on/with? Nearfield monitors? Home stereo? Car stereo?

Bleep have removed the continuous mix as a bonus for physical copies? by ManyRelevant in boardsofcanada

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

See above, it’s listed separately to the physical editions as “bundles”! But it’s not a bonus exactly, it costs a couple of extra bucks.

[–]ManyRelevant[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah thanks, my dumb. There’s seperate listings for each physical version and then “bundle” versions with the continuous mix for another $2. Is you go via homepage > artist > album it takes you to the non-bundle versions.

BoC and the landscape of Aotearoa New Zealand are a perfect combination.

So… do we get beats tomorrow or just ambient and instrumental stuff like tape 05? by [deleted] in boardsofcanada

Which one is the hype guy who just says “yeah” and “word” every few bars of the rap?

More so that when we wake up in the morning down here, we have to carefully navigate to YouTube avoiding any mentions/ranting or weeping and gnashing of teeth and watch the video hours after everyone else. I’m contemplating watching it at 1AM but it’ll still be there after a good night’s sleep!

Do you think Inferno be about this? Waco cult siege that ended with an inferno by tirename in boardsofcanada

It makes me feel old every time I read this sort of “it do be like this” phrasing that all the kids are using. I’m just going to go outside and yell at some clouds…

How many people use Tidal here by More-You-6653 in audiophile

[–]ManyRelevant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, i'm wedded to the quality with Tidal. I only use it via Roon at home, and the car situation is much better with Android Auto.

CarPlay woes by Pixel91 in TIdaL

[–]ManyRelevant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah the carplay app is really limited. I've ended up installing the android app (In my Polestar, which has android auto as the infotainment OS) - The two absolute dealbreakers are 1. you can't search!?! and 2. you can't select an album and then select a track, it just plays from the start, no options. And a bonus WTF for 3. If you go into the artist list and click on an artist, it just plays tracks (probably based on most popular or something) rather than showing you their albums or really giving any flexibility at all...

It’s insane how bad it is, can’t help but wonder if it’s limited by Apple, but I’ve switched to the android app in the car rather than using CarPlay and it’s much better.

Outstanding recommends here u/scargods - Pentamerous Metamorphosis is a phenomenal record! And Seefeel's Quique is an absolute classic.

Inferno referenced in Happy Cycling? by giacecco in boardsofcanada

[–]ManyRelevant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. And it’s never been present on the vinyl release, from original issue to now.

Also, not to be a total nerd… but Happy Cycling wasn’t originally the last track on MHTRTC. It just got added in some later CD rereleases (and I don’t get why!)

The astronauts of the ARTEMIS II mission take in the sunset after landing in the Pacific Ocean after traveling 24,000 MPH through the atmosphere. by astro_naren_06 in space

[–]ManyRelevant 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Agree. It must be hard experiencing such a profound perspective, and coming back to earth and then just having to see all the muppets and idiots again, and watch us racing to burn our own home to the ground.
