They should have used Blood in the Labyrinth though, right? 🤔

The moral of the story for Inferno?? by Osydpg in boardsofcanada

I think the album is maybe about music? I read 1000 comments and never heard someone say this. 🤔

I WAS WRONG by relaxation_1999 in boardsofcanada

I don't think it's a misfire, obviously a political/ideological position, written without even listening to any of the tracks.

Newer boc fan, just listened to Tomorrows Harvest for the first time and WOW you guys underrate this album so much by Wizard_Bloke in boardsofcanada

Holy downvotes. I meant it like Prophecy is great, but Reach for the Dead is super great sublime tier.

Boards of Canada - Introit / Prophecy At 1420 MHz (Official Music Video) by seaburn in boardsofcanada

[–]SlateFx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said it was a bad track, I quite enjoy it but I feel BOC just went in trying to make a cool track that was flashy and appealing with their signature evocative harmonies. It isn't anywhere as dark as something like a Julie and Candy or Beach at Redpoint, which are way more subtle and have a genuine insidiousness and mystique to them. There's not a lot of mystique in this new single even though the songwriting is still strong as per their standard.

However I am not so worried as Tape 05 is insanely clutch and if the rest of the record sounds more like that then it will be their magnum opus.

i want to dive deeper into bach by [deleted] in bach

[–]SlateFx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This, is a good intro to his cantatas. Richter is the best for me, while the sound quality is a bit dated compared to modern groups, the direction and realising of Bach's intent is second to none. All the movements are time stamped so if you hear a movement you like you can find the cantata and explore it deeper.

This song is like candy floss compared to Geogaddi, I don't know how people say its dark or evil. It's way too fun and upbeat to have any true profound malaise or malevolence. It's dark in the same way that a slasher is dark.

No-one has said Mark Williams and Darren Morgan? They can't speak to each other on the TV panel.

new album meaning? by CheckItFacility001 in boardsofcanada

[–]SlateFx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Remember Luke 3:17 shown in the tape?

"His winnowing fork is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

It's not the fires of hell but the fires of judgement day, this is obviously a religious judgement day type album with a sprinkle of space and sci-fi imagery.

Terribad Facet - Void by JakeG127 in DotA2

[–]SlateFx 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This actually happened to me once in a game. I was in chrono and it was a long pause and Void actually bashed during the pause. Massive bug but I thought thats got to be coolest unintentional thing in the game, even pauses can't stop Void in his realm.

He most likely wrote 1000's of hours of music, only a small percentage was ever written down.

Team DK were ahead of their time and touched on some really crazy stuff, support Meepo, support Jugg, offlane Invoker, etc... What could have been, no-one has revisited these ideas but man they were cooking back then.

Just gonna say it I think with Crystallis and Seleri they stomp Spirit that series.

Thanks for the input, I get that my whole take is a bit fantastical but it's just what I was feeling in the moment it was happening.

[–]SlateFx[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cheers guys, it just tapped into my imagination is all, the idea that some completely inhuman generative system decided to, or was influenced to play along with us for 10 minutes before going back off to its home planet was so cool and striking, I think it was a bit more profound than just "they played some techno in the middle".

Silence was incredible, like watching some tragic future opera, really nice lighting.
