Stop.

[Lens Larque]

don't any of you nerds recognize this? it was a loop on their website forever ago.

[Mexicola]

Don't recall hearing it before, but it's very nice - I'll give you that much.

[theoktitus]

very enjoyable...doesn anyone have this available to download?

[Lens Larque]

I got it just ripped live from the site. You can just DL my copy. The sound 42 is just some notation from the soundcard. have no idea what it could be called.


edit :

what about the one with the detuned flute echo thing with the ocean waves behind it? have you heard that one? they changed up lil tunes for a bit in the early 2000s.. not the swf loops.. i can post that when i get home if anyone missed it.

so the last TooL album was out in Summer 2005. Since then they have toured several times and each month in their albeit sometimes sarcastic newsletter they at least speak to the fans, give small updates, and now say the new album is slated for Spring 2012 (maybe it'll happen, maybe late 2012)
(BTW I am not suggesting BoC ever do a Tour)

I wish (other than a black box) we could have just 1 post of chatter. Since the last EP its been Radio Silence. Would be nice, even if it was just a quick post like "soon" or "2011"
Getting close to Sept now, still nothing. By this time in October it will be safe to say its not happening this year. Again.

[Kinski]

we got plenty of news. just never the news you guys wanted, like a release date or album title.

"In the studio"

[Kinski]

and seriously, how would a news stream of constant delays and failed hopes would be any better than this? i don't get it.

[Negamuse]

- "In the Studio" - BoC
- Julie and Candy (Alternate video mix)
- "Musicians are people too" - MDG
- Solange sings the hits of Boards of Canada
- Sony Warehouse Fire

Did I miss anything?

This. In many ways, we've already had this with the whole MDG / 2010 release comments. And look how much angst that caused. It'll be ready when it's ready.

Incidentally, I've discounted the black box as a Warp bullshit stunt. We're nearly 8 months into the year now and almost 6 months on from that whole debacle. If it was dropping next week it would presumably have been lost in the warehouse along with everything else that got torched, but from the little we've been told that wasn't the case. QED: it's probably not all that close to being ready.

No, but it looks like a clever way to make people listen to your music.

in a sense yes, but you fail the acid test.

Is there a consolation prize?

[Lens Larque]

how about a rancid loop from 9 years ago

[polar sky]

what about the one with the detuned flute echo thing with the ocean waves behind it? have you heard that one? they changed up lil tunes for a bit in the early 2000s.. not the swf loops.. i can post that when i get home if anyone missed it.

You thinking of the song on their old flash based site called "Flutes"? It's a sample taken from the movie Lord Of The Flies.

Not sure. Wasn't on the Flash site though. I can't even find it now. I named it some crazy shit.

Hmmm, I'm intrigued! Haha. Is it this?

That's the sample from the 1963 lord of the flies that they used on their site. You can visit their old site still here to listen to all the songs and short videos including that flute song that I think you're talking about:

[Lens Larque]

No. I remember that though. That is a complete lift from the film? What a bunch of hot air those blokes blow!

Searching through thousands of terribly named files...



edit:

Polar, as you are wizened, do you have the old snippit from the live chinook thing?

I know what you're talking about. It was an eerie flute song.....I'm trying to remember where I heard it. I definitely didn't hear it on the site, because I never even got to see the site as it was back then.....it must have been on youtube.........

edit: oh this is what I was thinking of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNiTkX6rx1U (I like that video too)
