Alzado Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 in which i asked him why boc are such wieners about releasing their music? it's a legit question. are we not allowed to ask what the deal is? seems like some sort of news would be polite. they have people who maintain their pages. it would take very little effort and cost nothing. we buy their albums. therefore we have a relationship with them. it can't be worth nothing to them or why would they bother at all?

delet... Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Would have been that forum's moderator. To be fair, given BoC's lack of output, do get that question all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Until BoC makes some statement about releasing the album or the reasons behind the delay (assuming there have been delays), you really can't expect them to be required to issue any statements about when they intend on releasing something just because you feel it's been longer than it should have been.

I have kids. I work full time. I pursue other interests. I'm busy too. We're all busy. Nobody's too busy to send out the equivalent of a quick e-mail. it's a modest and fair request. i've spent decent money on their catalog, suffering unfavorable conversion rates thanks to a weak dollar. i don't think it's a lot to ask. they don't have to give us anything. but we don't have to shut up and be patient either. so what's the deal?

Guest igloos unlmtd Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 y'know boc are in a partnership with warp records. have any of you ever given any consideration that it might not be boc that isn't holding up their end of the bargain? & how professional would it be if they got on these forums & started complaining about warp? not to mention the consequences involved in such an action. stop f'ing with the boys man. they've given you so much already.

Dragon Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 stop f'ing with the boys man. they've given you so much already. Yeah, I know. It's hard to stay mad at them after they released that album in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alzado Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 The idea that Warp would not want to promote the hell out of the return of one their cornerstone acts is ludicrous. Makes no business sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dogboy73 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Who the buggery is this MDG character anyway?! Personally I've always thought him & his ilk were fall of shit! Talking like they know something. They know about as much my Nan ........ and she's been dead for 6 years, God rest her soul. Until I see 'new Boards of Canada release upcoming' on the WARP website then there is no new release ........ unless they sign to another label. Of course they would have to bloody do something first before signing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since none of us have any (public) idea of any reason(s) behind the delay, it might not be politically- or business-savvy to make any statements - I've known through my experience in dealing on both sides of the recording industry there are a lot of behind the scenes things that play out or occur that can to the unknowing fan, seem like Radio Silence or a deliberate snubbing off of fans, whereas that's not the case at all. And really, you (and others) need to stop personalizing this - BoC is not putting out an album for LOL Alzado - they're putting out an album of music they want to release, and hopefully a lot of people like it and purchase it so BoC can continue making the music they want. Personally I feel like you did, but at some point you have to realize it's like wishing for it to rain - it might happen, but there is absolutely nothing you can do to precipitate (ha) things. When it comes out, in whatever form, with whatever additional projects they've had in the works as well finally see the light of day, then the real role of the fan can commence - deciding what they like, don't like, and their opinions about the music, and share those opinions with fellow fans.

Nicely put Joyrex. BoC owe you a favour there. I think watmm represents a real good bunch of BoC fans tbh. Most of us like a joke and a laugh, also we respect their mysterious shennanigans. But some of us sometimes get a bit peeved at what sometimes seems like a snubbing of their most ardent fans. Unfortunately for you, it sometimes falls to you to iron out a few PR problems. Which really you shouldn't have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
