that's it guys, confirmation that this release doesn't need to happen. unfortunately none of your backing donations will be refunded / paypal payments refunded. all monies will go towards paying legal fees. it's not about the product, it's about the ride getting there. BoC Hype Train taught us this! good vibes people! I'DBETTERNOTFUCKINGSEEANYONECOMPLAINING

That's what WATMM had, when it had a site proper attached to it... I'm... working on it That would be great! So yeah: Since the CW LP seemed like a pretty straight forward rip process that happened last Friday can you clarify what is still going on this week that is holding up the release? I would imagine that it may be to do with sorting out the final distribution of the files. of course, whatever server will be hosting the content will get battered to fuck upon release, so it needs to be a service that can stand up to the demand. I would hope that Joyrex hasn't chosen Bleep to host the files...

lol

this track is a fucking masterpiece

also, judging by the amount of copies of this that are being flipped on discogs, I'd actually say that quite a few people outside of watmm were also disappointed...but I will admit, that is a leap of logic. not an wholly unjustified one, however...

I'm not mad at BoC. is your assumption rational?

that's not an album. that's a MiniAlbum

prepare for disappointment.

*greenlights for Speilberg to direct* Yep, special oscilik digital release - transmitted over a 28 kbps modem, meta tagged as caustic window but actually a Chris Martin solo album. Enjoy! they couldn't even manage that tbf

Jorex. shut this fool up, and tell me it ain't so?

Did everyone else receive an e-mail? Nothing for me yet. I think Aphex Twin got pissed off with you, and told Joyrex to remove you from the kickstarter email distribution list :(

I don't know why people think that this endeavour will affect the potential selling price of the vinyl. last I checked, the original pressings of the Boards of Canada records have kept their value, despite the recent mass repressings.

I think you've hit the nail on the head here, man.

I exaggerated my opinion for effect to contradict a lot of what I and some others see as blind hero worship. I don't think it's this offensively bad album, but I do think it's surprisingly tame and is "just enough". I don't have automatic respect for musicians or artists and nobody should. You won't find inspiration that way. it's not automatic respect and I don't know who made you the sage of inspiration. it's more courteous to take the stance of 'I don't like this and here's why' than 'this is why this thing sucks and boc should feel bad'. I don't care if it's a message board, it just makes you look like you're determined to make others as negative about something as you are. there are times for calling out more obvious bullshit but I think it is clear this is was a pretty satisfying release for most people. the notion that you are 'countering the praise' seems bitter and childish to me. I don't think Candiru is necessarily aiming his comments directly at you here, but making comment towards a general sense of blind worship that certainly was happening around the time of the release. I mean, for fuck sake, there was a thread on twoism about sending "The Brothers" a present to thank them for an album no-one had even heard yet. If that's not blind worship, I don't know what is! from that point of view it does sound silly. then again, it is just the outcome of us boc fanboys getting to finally hear something new after 8 years of silence. It might have been "blind worship" but hey, people are like that. so, with that very same reasoning you're saying there, is it not even remotely plausible that the praise this album seems to get almost universally, is actually tinged with this "omg it's been 8 years, this is awesome" mentality? yeah, it obviously is affected by that. same would happen if aphex released something again, people (or I least I would) feel they must like it. but there is also genuine enjoyment involved I guess, is a bit like that saying "we like the music we hear, not the music we like". there is no black or white, only shades of grey.

the only track I really like on the album is still Semena Mertvykh. the rest of the album is incredibly disappointing. the hype train was fucking retarded.

lol
