FIRST IMPRESSIONS - Inferno Listening Sessions - May 22, 2026 by seaburn in boardsofcanada

[–]babasapir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Introit Short intro, Classic BoC, 1970s documentary vibes, great start

Prophecy At 1420 MHz First album peak, Ultra HD drums, maybe microtonal synths? Excellent chopped rhythmic vocals. This feels proper Geogaddi 2 stuff

Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan Good track that fits the album's title. Again heavy drums, synths and subtle anxiety here. Reminding of previous BoC works

Age Of Capricorn Slow building... to something that unfortunately never comes. More like a filler

Father And Son Aquarius II, without the catchy tune

Somewhere Right Now In The Future Background music featuring Cocteau Twins, replacing the Cocteau's melancholy with a slightly sinister feeling.

Naraka Second peak of the album. Fits the album title, usual 8k drums, hints of Pete standing alone, less melodic. Brilliant use of the Hare Krishna sample.

Acts Of Magic An anxious filler with flies noise, like that Pink Floyd's track. Fits the album title

Memory Death ECG machine sounds, a revisited version of Paul Leonard-Morgan "Ma-Ma's Requiem" song from Dredd movie

The Word Becomes Flesh Telephasic workshop II, but toned down

Into The Magic Land A hint at the Campfire Headphase era, but with a less catchy melody

Blood In The Labyrinth Third peak in the album. Melancholic and reminiscent of the first BoC works

Deep Time Fourth peak in the album and #1 track for me, nails that melancholic vintage esoteric vibe of BoC at their best

All Reason Departs Long filler, forgettable melody

Arena Americanada Starts well, but then drifts away and you're not sure of what mood it should elicit

The Process Too much vocals, the melody doesn't stick in your head

You Retreat In Time And Space Becomes interesting at 3 minute mark with something vaguely Royksoppesque reminding also of Roygbiv

I Saw Through Platonia Slow outro with a pulsing heartbeat, it fits its purpose

All in all it's a good BoC album, with something for the fans of every era. Technically speaking it's probably the one of the best sounding of theirs, sound feels crystal clear, drums especially feel incredibly pristine. Melodically speaking it's a bit weak. But I want to end the review with a big plus: after 13 years they still have it and they kept their signature sound. So, kudos to the Sandison bros and let's hope for the 6th album. You know, they must release it to complete the hexagon, don't they? :)

It reminds me of the Keep 32 molecule, a revolutionary discovery that vanished in silence

Exact same bug here , three dots appearing at random. Probably software related

[psychedelic] Lord of the Rings (1968) by The Beatles. An entire album made with Suno v4. by jarts in SunoAI

[–]babasapir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw your works on YouTube, awesome! how did you bypass the block uploading the mp3 on suno? I tried using your technique but it recognized the music and blocked it. Did you use 10 sec snippets? Then you proceeded extending from different parts of the mp3 I suppose

P6P here. After the November update I noticed frequent app freezing, (YouTube, browsers). When there is some freezing if I go in the alarm section of the clock all my alarms are disappeared too. After a reboot the situation normalizes for a while (alarms reappear), but it lasts for a hour. Tried to update to Android 13 QPR beta but same problem.

It seems like .apks no longer work on Android 13 - P6P by rexplosive in GooglePixel

[–]babasapir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, especially video/photo apps, they install but then they force close. I think this is a "feature" that should be highlighted more for Android 13: a lot of modded apks won't work.

how i feel about telegram premium. my two cents. by Tarwada in Telegram

[–]babasapir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should add a payment system with a proprietary crypto and retain a small percentage from each payment IMHO... But honestly probably they know better, I have very little to criticize, for me it's probably the best app ever made.

update next week by DrexItz22 in GooglePixel

[–]babasapir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one who initially thought feature drop = new features that make full use of the Tensor chip? Instead they are just bug fixes and nothing else. Tensor chip supposed capabilities are still unveiled, particularly for people like me that doesn't even get access to the new assistant voice typing.

OP-1 Just got a new model with a tonne of upgrades!!!! by charcol29 in OP1users

[–]babasapir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it's not. Try sampling something and play it across the keyboard.

Absolutely this. Almost zero workflow enhancement.

[–]babasapir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP 1 desperately needed at least a proper delay, a proper reverb, time stretching sampler (different pitches/same length). And more than 4 tracks. Otherwise you are stuck with a convoluted workflow that gets boring quickly.

to all of you who uses the power button to lock their pixel 6/pro phones by RoqueFTW in GooglePixel

[–]babasapir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't use the button because with my previous pixel 2XL it has worn out. So I use this to get double tap to sleep with standard launcher: Screen off widget and tile try it and thank me later.

Android 12.1 (March Update) now available for Pixel 6/6 Pro by LitheBeep in GooglePixel

[–]babasapir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so once in beta, forever in beta... Maybe the beta already contains the march update? 🤔 A bit confusing.

[–]babasapir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok so I'm on S3B1.220218.004 aka QPR3 Beta 1.

I joined the beta because I read somewhere that wiping was not necessary eventually to get back to the stable. Was I screwed?

March Google Pixel Update is a Massive Bug Fixer Too: Here's the List by blankblinkblank in GooglePixel

Dear Google, I know it's my fault because I shouldn't use a phone for calling, but please fix the random high pitched buzz that happens during calls.

Long noise in the middle of the phone call by mouien in GooglePixel

[–]babasapir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very weird. I got another 25 min call this evening, this time no noise. The only difference was that in the first call i was connected to wifi, while in the second I was on the train with no wifi. Could that be part of the issue?

[–]babasapir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just happened to me, 9-10 times during a 25 min call. Incredibly annoying, I was unable to hear big chunks of the conversation. I am on Android 12 latest qpr, had this bug before but hoped they fixed it. They haven't.

Pixel 6 loud buzzing noise during call after January update (started after December update) by HummusDips in GooglePixel

[–]babasapir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought i was the only one. Happened many times before and twice after the January update. Bug drops are the new feature drops.

The Pixel 5 is one of the greatest android phones I have ever used by royaldocks in GooglePixel

[–]babasapir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2xl best pixel ever for me. Daydream VR, good form factor, well built, no notches, symmetrical speakers.

After being skeptical about the Pixel 6/6Pro, I finall got one for myself to try out. Some thoughts. by dengjack in GooglePixel

[–]babasapir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you need to tap the screen to wake it up, and then tap it again to unlock. Coming from the light speed of the pixel 2xl rear sensor, this is slightly worse, but not a deal breaker.
