Season of the Witch (George Romero)

Hi guys. I was just wondering if this film is worth obtaining on DVD. I believe a couple of audio samples from it were used on Geogaddi, so it has the BOC seal of approval I guess. Is it actually any good? It seems to be a b-movie albeit directed by George Romero so it may be of some reasonable quality. Am I right in thinking it contains some fucked-up dream sequences shot in the desert or in the woods or something? I appreciate your information!

Not to make myself the most hated man on the internets and bring up another BoC topic, but I finally got my copy of The Campfire Headphase (japanese edition)...going to listen for the first time. I've heard nothing of this at all....so it will be something very new.

something like this: or in various reviews, like the boomkat review of the tch ep, or the pitchfork review of iabpoitc, you'll find passages like "if you'd perfected this sonic playground, you'd want to stay here forever too" so, okay: in the shift from geogaddi to tch, for example, i must ask, how much more can a band change their sound, while still remaining the same band? i mean, ffs, BoC changed GENRES when they went from geogaddi to tch, from electronic music to wyrd folk. i struggle to think of two songs that are more different than "dayvan cowboy" and "devil in the details" (or for that matter, "devil in the details" and "roygbi…

This is Boards of Canada's most thematically serious album. Let's start with the title: Tomorrow's Harvest. I think it's asking us the question, "What sort of harvest will the seeds that humanity plants bring?" To put it in simpler terms, what are the consequences of our actions on a grand scale? We all know that the album uses a Cold War aesthetic, but I think this is only one application of this question. I think New Seeds is extremely symbolic of these theme. It is hopeful, but cautiously so. It makes us think of potential, of possibility, but it has a hint of mournfulness towards the end, like a fear of the inevitable decline of humanity. The last song on the albu…

It's probably lurking on here somewhere as well, but since the XYZ track from the Peel Session is finally released, thought it might be cool to hear them talking about their music to John Peel... Boards_of_Canada_Peel_Session_21_July_1998_full_interview.mp3

What do you people make of the percussion in this track? I must have listened to it 50 times and still can't really make sense of what is going on, normal drum kit sounds processed through analogue equipment? How is that "wet" elasticity part of the beat made and what is it really tied to? Sometimes while listening I get glimpses of something that makes a lot more sense but I can usually only hold onto that for a few seconds before it disappears.

This little filler is so fucking beautiful. I wonder if it actually is a full song buried deep in a BoC vault. Would love to hear it expanded on. https://youtu.be/5dOwYf5LNNo

I was really, really curious in doing this. The end result was absolutely awesome. Awesome if scary is your thing. I listened to this in my basement in complete darkness, going from the 24th Japanese bonus track in reverse to Ready Lets Go, and at some parts I seriously was terrified. Well maybe not _terrified_ but without a doubt I was getting really, really freaked out. Some songs are MEANT to be heard in reverse (Dandelion, Dawn Chorus, I Saw Drones, a bunch others) while some songs you really get creeped out by some of the stuff you hear when played in reverse.

Odd Nosdam uploaded all the instrumentals for the cLOUDDEAD LP 'Ten' onto YouTube, including the BoC Remix instrumental! Amazing how much was buried by the vocals! So far as I can tell this can only be found on YouTube for the time being, and who knows how long it'll stay up:
