GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC

[nickb523]

Don't know if it means anything and it's probably been mentioned already but the more I listen to the csch code [717228] the clearer I can hear someone saying in German "sechs sechs sieben" - it's clear as a bell at the start and again after the BoC numbers are read out

i hear this too.

Few minutes ago I got into my car, started the engine, Boards of Canada - In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country playing on Studio Brussels. After that the DJ mentioned recent events and the fact that fans are working hard to uncover everything.

Really enjoying everything so far. Thanks guys!

Arguably the more appropriate choice for Stuart Maconie's show to have broadcast it compared to Zane Lowe's, I feel!

I'd imagine he's been interested in what's being going on lately too... One of his shows from earlier this year was indeed http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01q9rlr

I was wondering if / when BBC 6 Music would play it - great to have heard it on there tonight.

I hope they're taking so much time for the last number just to come up with something really challenging and funny and immediately recognizable as an authentic clue. The fifth one was awesome, hard to overtake in that sense

Someone just posted "Final Boards of Canada number just on BBC 6Music..." any truth to this claim?

The tracklist on BBC 6Music shows:

Yeah, we have that one already... But the Dj did say that it was the only intriguing one... as if there is something else in there. I can't hear anything unusual, but the version I DL'd gets gut off at the end.... so IDK

what else did the dj say about it? could be important. as i recall 519225 is similar to that black box with 7 numbers on boc's facebook

Just that we could discuss it at his website..... I'm not sure what you mean by "as i recall 519225 is similar to that black box with 7 numbers on boc's facebook:

Though I still gotta convert him to a BoC fan!

Blast 'The Colour of the Fire' into his ears while he's sleeping. Full volume. On a loop.

Dunno if thats new to you but BBC 6radio just repeated the BBC1 code http://i.imgur.com/MuouTlY.jpg?1

I still say there should project it onto the MI6 building in London

sry just saw it my connection is bad

Do we think this means anything or is it just a random sample of a German numbers station?

It seems like all of the clips have faint stuff in the background. In fact, even though the chime/call sign is (as far as I can tell) the same in all 5 clips, the stuff in the background is distinctly different in each clip.

I don't know if that means something, or if it's just supposed to contribute to the atmosphere.

I also wonder if the background audio is sampled from existing numbers stations (if one of them has faint English numbers in the background, and another has German numbers, that would make sense).

In one of them I thought I heard Russian numbers... weird

Has it been suggested to try layering all 5 recordings in that case, just to see if anything interesting happens? I'm at a real loss just like everyone else..

I'm not sure if the last code is supposed to be this hard to figure out or if they'll eventually just announce it when the time is right. I'm starting to think maybe the latter.

Out of curiosity, which one? Could you describe what you heard?

there was a bunch of fibonacci numbers posted one boc's facebook a while ago, i think that one of them was pretty close to 519225, the number broadcast tonight

I apologize if this is a repeat question, but has anyone discussed this?

On third one. I tried reversing it and whatnot. When you reverse it the first thing you hear except the noise is like someome is saying "chetirye" which is four in Russian. I'll try to clean it up a bit and return if I find something interesting.

[realspiel]

This has all been very good and the possibility of BoC releasing a new album mind blowing, but I am starting to lose the will, I honestly thought this would have been done and dusted by tonight, dare I say it but its dragging a bit, and the more posts tweets I see about people just only now getting involved jumping on the band wagon is getting on my tits.

It was mentioned and I tried it... Just a big staticy mess.....

I hear 136215... Am I crazy ???
