True, but I don't actually think this will be the last thing we hear from them, I think they are just being silent on purpose. I bet the young ones will even get to hear some posthumous stuff someday.

It only begins when they release the new album: an in-depth analysis of the theme, artwork, the songs, new interviews,... A whole new era to discuss. :!:

This reminds me of a dream I've had today, hopefully this will never happen to us XD

Im still hoping we will see something new this year, actually this feeling is stronger than ever, so maybe, collectively, we feel something is on the horizon. Or maybe we are just fever dreaming :roll:

Nice one! Uritual, for sure.

The last insta reel upload has been over a month ago. Something is brewing.. and it aint kool-aid.

A while ago I did an analysis on the videos BoC posted on their social media accounts since 2016.
They uploaded 39 videos. Column F is notable: it shows the waiting time in between their posts. For instance we had to wait 746 days for the Twoism video upload on Instagram, the previous one was Come To Dust on Twitter. 2024 definitely seems better.

Some more insights about the 39 uploaded videos. The shift to Instagram/Threads seems a fact. Most posts about TH, MHTRTC, and TCH. They usually post between Tuesday and Friday.

Great analysis, the fact that nothing really happened in '23 seems like a hint. I'm still betting on something happening tomorrow, if not tomorrow, then soon.

This is great! Thanks for the effort. Love the graphs and numbers. Hadn't thought about a analysis on post x days of the week and days waiting.

Did you take into account chaos theory? :P Let's hope this year's trend of frequent posting continues. If so, just a couple of days until the new post...

Last bit of speculation if nothing happens tomorrow, and last post for awhile because it feels like this is becoming a weird obsession. Do any of those media accounts represent anything official? If so, I'll place a final bet on 69 days after the sixtyten post, if not, still fun.

This didn't feel like a weird obsession before?

What do you mean? Their Facebook, Twitter / X, Instagram, and Threads accounts are all official. Has there ever been any reason to doubt that?

Michael Fakesch is a welcome discovery in my case! Can't believe I missed that, speaking as a longtime fan of Autechre, and never knew BoC first remix was one of Funkstörung. Feeling unworthy of the enigmatic LP5! The one of BoC, not Autechre, of course. :)

No, you're right, and I do think it's mostly merged now to the insta/threads acccount. I'm just being another rabid fan that has to cool off and wait patiently for our next dose.
