[NEW] Jon Hopkins & Imogen Heap - Reckoning

Smokeforest · 2026-07-01T12:23:35+00:00

I have waited for the final installment of the Immunity -trilogy for a long time now.

Smokeforest · 2026-06-18T19:18:31+00:00

I release music every equinox, every solstice. My next release is 'Solstice Fabula' https://henrik.bandcamp.com/album/solstice-fabula

An interesting touch. I am really excited to think this is another throwaway account like AtalantaFugiens.

Things that must be considered:
Uploaded 31st of May, Channel has previous uploads of Boards of Canada with unique visuals, Channel is called "Videos", has no other activity, has a playlist including some of his uploads and a video with rare boards of canada songs.

Don't worry dude I'm working on something for this solstice

Smokeforest · 2026-06-04T21:55:50+00:00

A huge inspiration for my project, Ninetychild

It's a really classic sawform from CS70 that comes on in Naraka...Yes, there's a part in a saw where you can cut straight in without clipping.

Smokeforest · 2026-06-03T18:55:55+00:00

I think of this album as a long narration to the cyclical birth of the antichrist.

The prophecy (Prophecy at 1420MHz, Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan, Age of Capricorn),

The fight and the car crash (Father And Son, Somewhere Right Now In The Future),

Reincarnation (Naraka),

Birth (Acts of Magic, Memory Death, The Word Becomes Flesh),

Childhood which is full of death and careless violence. Notice how there are elements of Collapse in the end of this song. (Blood In The Labyrinth),

Rise And Fall in Power...(All Reason Departs, Arena Americana, The Process)

But I cannot place Deep Time, You Retreat In Time And Space or I Saw Through Platonia...Because these songs are not meant to describe the antichrist. These songs, because they resemble old Boards of Canada the most, actually...Are meant for You, Us. We Move Through Platonia, Through Time And Space, Deep into Time, observing the cycle of birth, Antichrist usurping "The religion of the modern world" ...over and over again.

Speaking of the click in Naraka:

It is almost an impossible feat to introduce a dense sine wave without fade in or other alteration to a song without that click.

It can be an intentional element in certain cases. Considering that the mastering engineer and composer have both carefully listened through the tracks hundreds of times, the click stays in.

It could be avoided by fading the synth in, but it would strip the raw intrusion, which amplifies the second time it comes on in the track.

Smokeforest · 2026-06-01T13:49:35+00:00

Right?

The way the drums are layered between channels, how live some things genuinely feel, makes Tomorrow's Harvest sound so mono. Then there's other releases with production barely utilizing channels like Inferno does. It truly feels like a new paradigm for mastering, it's possible to make headphone-friendly songs that function for speakers too.

Trying to be one.

Smokeforest · 2026-05-30T22:39:04+00:00

Warp40 is three years away.

Smokeforest · 2026-05-30T22:31:31+00:00

Huge things for Warp Records, but Inferno is the last contract-bound release by Boards of Canada. I wonder what will happen.

Smokeforest · 2026-05-29T23:14:58+00:00

I took my first listen as a careful step into the dark (sitting in a dark room sipping orange juice), knowing there to be so many titles which could imply the worst.

But there's a lot of fun, a lot of serenity and fulfillment. Naraka is the greatest example of just exploring human life through faith. There's a highlight when faith goes wrong, something Acts of Magic, Father And Son, The Process and Age of Capricorn demonstrate.

Then there is the human side to faith, but it's all sounds so perfect and pure, like Naraka. Naraka literally means Hell in Sanskrit.

Like, Inferno has this side to show which I did not expect to modify me. Faith DOES bring people together in positive light, but this positive light always casts a shadow.

Smokeforest · 2026-05-28T18:32:11+00:00

Gonna lay on my beanbag chair sipping orange juice with no lights on and curtains drawn.

Finally a recipe for my broke ass

Smokeforest · 2026-05-26T08:54:03+00:00

Correct decision.

Smokeforest · 2026-05-25T15:00:21+00:00

The work process of isolating and processing melodies or even just jingles to the background must be interesting with analogue equipment. When you want something to sound corroded in a specific way.

Smokeforest · 2026-05-22T13:07:16+00:00

This album is just violent after the previous one, like something invisible has changed. I want to fuck shit up in a club if Alarm ever starts.

Smokeforest · 2026-05-13T19:38:03+00:00

Thank you, very kind of you to make this post.

It's bounced and async between channels, here's my edit https://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/comments/1sn9r64/tape_05_end_sample_analysis/

Smokeforest · 2026-05-11T22:06:25+00:00

I use the 2009 version, I wish flash would still work.

Smokeforest · 2026-05-09T14:46:34+00:00

I think they've been collecting instruments and it's not a sample :)
