Boards of Canada Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest
Bertolt Brechtakt replied to Alzado's topic in Boards of Canada
I can relate to that. The album has a few lengths. But I listened to it rather loud recently. And the soundscape is pretty brilliant. I can still cry when the last synths fly in on "Reach For The Dead". And I like the idea of horizontal composing. But hate it at the same time since lots of those brilliant moments on the album are just passing by to never return. -

For me this happens with Reach For The Dead, when the synth melody flows in somewhere in the middle. I could burst into tears there. It's melodies that sort of melt my heart and unlock all my emotions. -

Funny enough, I had ordered my BOC copy at hhv.de with the red vinyl reprint of Bladerunner. It's just playing right now, after I listened to TH. -

LOL yes I though the same thing. After a few years of complete silence FSOL came out as complete hippies and are now doing Prog Rock. BOC look a bit like that on the photo. Luckily, TH doesn't make the impression of being hippie at all. Lucky us -

I hope this is a "hell yeah" fist and face and not a "you are in trouble" Joyrex, is this actually the longest running forum? I was just guessing here since I remember it from back in the days.- 9,017 replies

Just got my vinyl. Bladelores sounds pretty weak sound-wise. Is the pressing bad? I had to put up the volume for quite a bit... What about your vinyl copies? Any sound issues?- 9,017 replies

what fizzkinz says. we need a track by track review! What do you want with that? If anything a track by track review of Ae music is completely pointless since the reception of their music is something like 150 % subjective, hence completely biased. This guy doesn't know bout Alcofribas' reviews!!!! Oh to be an Alcofribas virgin again... Look up his reviews, you will not regret. Will do. Thanks for the advice. But why hasn't he written anything on Exai yet?- 9,017 replies

Not that tough a wording: This CD contains a uniquely identifiable digital watermark assigned to you. IT'S YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THE MUSIC ON THIS DISC REMAINS SECURE. If you are unable to take this responsibility, leave this seal intact and contact your label representative immediately. Then comes a unique number for the promo (like UK 7) and that's it.

Certainly not, but quite often labels ask to publish reviews not before the release. Generally, you get the reviews maybe 1-2 weeks in advance. In regards to radio play, maybe they haven't sent anything out to radio djs? I know that there was a show on byte.fm a few days ago where a guy played Exai.- 9,017 replies

Ah sorry, gl0tch. Just re-checked the cover of my supposed-to-be Exai promo. It says "James Brown & The JBs live at Apollo" on CD1 and Hip Hop Forever on CD2 (just a compilation of random Hip Hop beats from the 80s). Really sorry for the false hopes.- 9,017 replies

It's more the beats, the entire rythmic cataclysm. I am looking forward to the live tour with Clyde Stubblefield on the drums. Bootsy can join anytime of course.- 9,017 replies

Considering the quite bouncy, even danceable beats of Exai - well danceable in an Ae sort of way of course - I'd dare say this is Autechre's Funk album. It moves your arse from side to side and twice around the globus. Damn, just dislocated my hip. For everybody waiting, I'd could organise a home listening session (10 quid permission fee)- 9,017 replies
