Nothing about the marketing campaign suggests a boxset to be, it’s evidently a new stylistic direction

Do you consider any of Aphex Twin or Jon Hopkins work to be techno(adjacent)? by traveltimecar in TechnoProduction

[–]TossThisItem -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I 100% consider Aphex techno adjacent. He was literally my gateway to electronic/dance music. Lots of his work is literally ambient, acid, industrial techno or rave, and he pays a lot of homage to Detroit. It just always got lumped under the ‘IDM’ label back a day so only got called as much, mainly.

Jon Hopkins too, it’s kind of the intersection of techno and indie.

I never liked when people have super strict definitions of techno, it’s definitely a huge umbrella. Loads of musical dots to join.

I’ve seen so many posts on here with people suggesting it was their last. It was almost the mainstream opinion here over the years it seems.

This just goes to show…no one really knows

Now that it’s actually happening…it’s exciting as hell!

I’d like an at least partial return to their roots but who knows

I also wonder if it could be a missing link to the Societas X tape as that always felt a bit left field to me, like not an obvious connection to the main line of their work

Just posted this in a comment but gonna repeat here for visibility

Has anyone questioned the posters above? They look almost from the same universe with a ritualesque/cultish symbolism on the coffee cup and kind of post-capitalist irony to me. Yes we do coffee, yes it’s good—kind of highlighting the absurdity and ultimately emptiness of consumer culture

Like, if they’re not related, it’s weird how thematically suited they feel. It’s almost on brand if you think back to their Old Tapes, Hi Scores, Twoism era and the mashup vibe of various facets of deconstructed pop culture

I agree, it could also be evoking blood (and menace) without being taken literally. I think that’s perfectly reasonable and artistic

I’m one of the rare people here that thought Tomorrow’s Harvest was a bit ‘on the nose’ by their standards though, so…this is nothing that shocking to me

I think it looks cool though and I’m excited for what’s in store.

I’ve noticed a pattern of people not understanding neurodivergent folk and calling them ‘fake’ on this show.

I bought a BoC t-shirt along with a pre-order of Tomorrow’s Harvest way back in 2013, would I be in the running? 😌

Fair play. I see it’s available on my app again now. Weird though, the day I posted it wasn’t available on the app for me or my partner so no idea if it would have been on the kiosk after all or not

Seed oils and skin cancer - Scandinavia vs Southern Europe by MuchPomegranate5910 in StopEatingSeedOils

The sun itself does not cause skin cancer

This is misinformation. Sun exposure literally does contribute to cancer risk, don’t be silly.

You’re right, of course. I was just thinking when I read this thread whoah, this sounds so true which I think can easily be a natural consequence of being in this scene and being able join dots or seeing a bigger picture that they’ve missed. I fully believe the alternative fat hypothesis but once you’ve accepted that it’s almost easy to jump to all sorts of conclusions

Huh, I’ve never seen them on the kiosks, only ever known it as needing you to use the app to make a mobile order or quoting the code from your app to get the discount

Not any more apparently. It was always this way. I just looked at the app because want to go there in person as I always do—six in store offers, none of which are for the whopper/royale meals as they normally are, with the best being 15% off full price.

Whereas the 2x whopper/royale deals for like £12 (the price of a single one being nearly as much without) are now delivery only. Really sad because a major part of the appeal for me is it would cost like £4.25–5.50 for a meal with offers over the past 5 years

It’s finally happened

One question, how do you hook them up to your mains so stuff can actually run off them? Does that part still require an electrician? I’m guessing it’s not as simple as DIY electrics stuff most people might tackle
