"Nae need for a spaceship, I was already on Pluto."

His brother:

"Oh mah god, dearie me. I hate her, for making me dae that." Hahahahaha.

I was a little disappointed with Series 3, but he's still hilarious.

Bleep might be shipping today? It's no longer a preorder. https://bleep.com/release/43515-boards-of-canada-tomorrows-harvest

Maybe my answer was a little misleading, what I meant was, if there was a jewel case version, it's likely Boomkat, Norman et al would have them up for preorder also.

Some people hate digipacks, I guess? It's strange that they are both the same price though, you'd think the jewel case would be cheaper. Is it though? I bet it's just the digipak, sans the inserts. I could see WARP pressing up 10,000+, and only 5,000 sets of inserts. Oh, my bad. You're right, that's a bit weird. According to Boomkat, yes. You forgot Bibio.

From http://boomkat.com/vinyl/714303-boards-of-canada-tomorrow-s-harvest-vinyl-version Guess the previous image wasn't a promo?

I was severely annoyed by the fade outs, and suddenly am not bothered by them. Don't know how, because they were really upsetting at first. Enjoying it more now? I'm actually embarrassed how much I'm enjoying it now. It's glorious. Excellent! It really is superb, and I've only heard it once. I can't wait to completely obsess over it in a few days. Oh it is.

The promo CD single just went for over $100

I thought it flowed beautifully, although there was one jarring transition, can't remember where though. I was so in love with it, despite this. Maybe I just played it one too many times last night... I'm gonna keep an open mind, and hope for the best. It's just frustrating, when you're REALLY into a track, and the volume just fades out....... and... wtf happened?? I was LISTENING TO THAT!!!!! Honestly, I was worried about the track lengths at first, but after last night, I didn't even notice. I know what you mean though, some tracks did kind of finish when I didn't expect them to, but that isn't a bad thing in terms of how the tracks are listened (i.e. on the album), I guess it might be a bigger problem if you wanted individual tracks but who would want that? I don't know man. Like I said, I may have just burned out last night on the 5th listen. In trying to keep an open mind, I'll focus on the fact that it's a whole album, but I really would have loved more tracks around the 6 or 7 minute mark. This record is definitely better than TCH (and I loved that), that's all I can really say right now. I hope you get over that hill, would be a shame if you didn't, there's a lot to like here.

that's cool. just means that it will drive people to download FLAC files from other sources. doesn't matter, they still have a sale. I think the Exai debacle (crashing their servers due to demand, and probably they got hit with massive overage costs from AWS) precluded this. There might have not been enough demand for FLAC to warrant it, either. Mark my words - Bleep and boardsofcanada.com will crater like never before when Tomorrow's Harvest streams and/or the digital downloads are released. Perhaps that's why they haven't up until now...? But Bleep went down when Oversteps was released. and when Move of Ten was released. and of course, when Exai was released. if they were making the decision based on whether the site could stand up, they made the decision pretty late if you ask me. In any case, FLACs from the CD will show up on the internet on the night of 4th June UK time (which would be morning Japanese), so it's all cool. FLACs will be available to those who want them. Well, (fourth) time's a charm, right? So perhaps they finally have wised up that their big artists have a rabid fanbase and their servers cannot handle the demand. I guess we'll see when the Autechre EP comes out. Either way, I'm alright because for some stupid fucking reason I decided to buy the CD as well as the Vinyl. oh well. I wanted the art cards, plus better-than-mp3 files.

yes that makes sense. meanwhile over on bleep world... in_progress ah ffs Probably means I'll receive my vinyl in November.

lololol

"We usually imagine our music to have a visual element while we're writing it, so we were picturing this character losing his mind at the campfire and compressing weeks of events into a few hours, in that time-stretching way that acid fucks with your perception." Confirmed, "this character" = Bibio

Fixt.
