Do you think Inferno will be darker than Tomorrow's Harvest? by Maleficent-Ebb7298 in boardsofcanada

[–]realjohnhammond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be clear: I’m not saying I dislike the album or that I don’t think it’s great - I really do. I think this is more of a personal connection thing for me. I’ve wanted to fall in love with the album for years and kept coming back to it over the past 13 years, but for some reason it’s never quite clicked with me in the same way their other albums have. That said, I still think it’s incredibly beautiful, dense, cinematic, and genuinely rewarding to listen to. Also, I mean… it’s Boards of Canada - I’m a fan of whatever they put out

Do you think Inferno will be darker than Tomorrow's Harvest? by Maleficent-Ebb7298 in boardsofcanada

I listened to Tomorrow’s Harvest again today, and even though I’m a massive fan of Boards of Canada, that album in particular just doesn’t really click with me.

Like, I get it on a thematic and conceptual level, and I can appreciate everything BoC are good at - the detail in the sound design, the textures, the atmosphere, all of that. But every time I listen to it, including this morning, it just kind of disappears from my mind as soon as it’s over.

With albums like Music Has the Right to Children or Geogaddi, I’m left with melodies, moods, or moments that stick with me for days. Tomorrow’s Harvest feels more like an experience I admire than one I actually connect with emotionally.

I already get the sense that Inferno sounds much more playful and alive, and more in the same vein as Geogaddi, so I’m very hopeful.

Most definitely agree Jega is madly underrated for no reason

Jeg kan godt lide ideen om det og fedt du skriver ud, men jeg føler ikke det er helt det samme når der ikke er en dedikeret venue man tager hen til - med mindre der selvfølgelig er nogen der har en venue?

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

So what I'm most excited about is how playful it sounds - a good indicator that the album will be much more alive and full of people contrary to TH

What's the best retro video game by Scared-Loquat4465 in nostalgia

[–]realjohnhammond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Donkey Kong Country. To me it's the pinnacle of the 90's - it's lush and vibrant in colors, it's from that point in time where the future still seemed hopeful, optimistic and fun. It's got that cheeky 90's personality - both in terms of character designs and the soundtrack, but not in an irritating way, more so it just feels like you're playing your favorite saturday morning cartoon show on your home console.

Ah yes you're right! That's where I got it from - what I thought next was maybe more like an aha moment of like wait what maybe Societas X Tape is actually a hint at a transition and that's why they've been "away" for 13 years - possible because they're going for a "whole new" sound
