Could it be The OST ? There are also videos . It could be a pastiche, but if it is, it's a good one. But of course it is.

Mon tae fuck!!

I think they’re just over the whole music thing. 

[apriorion]

They just did an NTS set. I think they just don’t care about time. Or fans.

[beerwolf]

I guess the combination of not needing to run the band to make money and leading sort of separate lives with family just gets in the way of a fully functioning Hexagon Sun production line.

It's just a hobby for them, so new music considered for big official releases will be few and far between. 

That's the best and most down to earth explanation I can give.

Na from the interviews n stuff it seems they keep making music however they got family to deal with n so that's what they're doing.

this is all your own faults, you know.

i remember Garth Brooks going into semi-retirement way back in like the late 90s or something, at the absolute peak of his fame and popularity. his reasoning was something like 'well i've got more money than god could ever spend, and i've got a couple of kids i want to be there with them as much as possible and not promote and tour while they're young' and that's what he did.

and now BoC made so much money from ridiculous fanboyism for so long that they could afford to just say 'yeah, let's not release anything for years and years, we'll focus on raising our kids and just fuck around with music here and there every once in a while.' 

if you all hadn't been hyping them for years and being absolutely insane (talking about the greater BoC fanbase btw, twoism etc, not necessarily/just WATMM fanboys) about everything of theirs then maybe they'd have been forced to make and release more music (and maybe even tour!) just to pay the bills.

you have to use capitalism for your own evil causes good, not let it get out of control for only those at the top (of making cool music).

this has been a preview of my longform essay 'how capitalism and BoC fanboy culture are intricately intwined and caused a feedback loop that spanned decades and benefitted only the brothers' which will be due out just before their next release. so probably 2025.

It's hard to imagine the BOC bucks getting them by this long though? Every other old guard enterprise is still out there grinding: Richard scooping up festival coins into a fanny pack, Tom on the road and releasing, Ae transcending time and space, etc. Are they just more greedy? Do the Sandisons live like Ted Kaczynski by a creek somewhere? If they wouldn't mind uploading a Turbo Tax file and a household budget spreadsheet, that would be helpful.

Maybe they don't like their fans. Can't blame them

Probs the best argument for socialism tbqh. Imagine being able to force artists to produce good art until they drop dead hell yea.

I think being shrouded in mystery and protecting their legacy is a huge priority for them.

Most of what is posted on twoism I can't even understand. I'll read half a dozen posts and think what the fuck is that? Most of it doesn't even make sense. Honestly part of me feels sorry for them as they are obviously very loyal fans but they have been hung out to dry in the hot sun too long and it's fried their brains. It's kind of similar to Jack Nicholson going fucking nuts in the Overlook Hotel where the isolation and cabin fever has reached fever pitch.

It has to be pretty tough being a loyal BOC fan, and I do wonder if that slightly bothers or irks them (BOC). As they obviously know what it means to be a big fan of a band, they understand what that relationship is. Hmmm. Like I said it's obviously a hobby to them. I don't think they live and breathe Boards of Canada like Richard or Sean and Rob do with their respective projects. Sure there's family time and just everyday things. But BOC operate on another level. The level of an opiated sloth.

Glad I feel the way I do about Aphex Twin, or as others do about AE, rather than BOC, because the climate just simply isn't as cruel. I'm fucking bonkers enough without the added pressure of worshipping The Brothers.
