GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC

[thepastinsidepressant]

these 1977 refs, its 36 years ago, 36 digits make up this sort of code, 36 days from 20th or 19th April to release date?

ah here bed for me

this is one of the coolest things i've ever seen any music group do with any of their fans! this shit is elaborate!

Yeah I think so too. Some people probably hate it and think its a waste of time. Ah well. I'm soaking all of it up. It only comes around once in a red moon anyways.

This is brilliant. They're communicating in codes that only us the diehard fans can appreciate. Couldn't be any happier right now.

Whether it's a date or not the number 36 (or 6 X 6) is pretty important to all this. Hexagons forever, everyone.

the blank video just before the new numbers vid has what appears to be an eerie photograph of some trees if you hover the cursor over the navigation/time elapsed thingymabob below the panel.

this is freaking me out

It's from little house on the prarie, check today's thread.

exactly. i had basically given up on them releasing anything new, as did a lot of my friends. so to start hearing about this and slowly uncovering it is just amazing.

we can only speculate as to what the code will mean, but i have a feeling it's going to be a release date or something of that nature.

this is an excellent marketing scheme/hype builder btw.

June is the 6th month of the year....3613 3rd day of the 6th month of the year 13? I dunno just having fun with numbers.

Just did a search for "Tarekeys" and found this: http://www.ptcelectronics.com/pdfs/NU-P ... E-1206.pdf

Didn't pay any attention to it until I read this from one of the pages:

The Profibus communication protocol defines the structure of the messages and the communication mode
between one or more “master” devices which manage the system and one or more “slave” devices which
respond to the interrogations of a master (technical master-slave, of the multi-master type).

I'm not sure if it actually helps, but it's interesting imho.

Not quite.

Julie & Candy => One Got Fat => which hellinterface commented on posting the link to a video on the hellinterface account, which in the description had a link to a video uploaded by tarekeys called csch which had the numbers.

Also not quite either. The 'ONE GOT FAT' is a reference to the EYDIAB on YT using footage of 'One Got Fat' for the video, and that's where the comment was posted - not on the original film.

Julie & Candy > EYDIAB video comment > Hell Interface video description > csch

After first hearing the vinyl were the comments on here of the jingle's similarity of style to EYDIAB's opening vignette from the Hi Scores EP... Hell Interface then posts a comment on the video featuring that same piece, to link indirectly to the next code. May or may not have been an intentional choice, but it ties in well.

The synth bit in the new video is probably an unreleased part of the EYDIAB track. It does sound extremely similar.

You know what, for all the wait, for all the ache, for the timeless speculation, I must say these are amazing times, really this is thrilling, fun and I can't thank BOC or whoever is behind this for it. Since I missed all the good fun on the book "Ready Player One" this is a real treat for me

Just had to put some BOC love out there

The pi theory is very interesting. Someone posted it in the 2020k comments as well. But, 6/13/2013 is a Thursday.

I made the last PI comment on 2020k, but I got the wrong slot order.

Oops! I just also edited my post before you replied. 6/13 is also a Thursday so even if it was right..no cigar. GREAT thinking though!

The "another" found record was a skam:

...now we shall se if ImNoPandaBear is with the real deal.

And here is the new Joyrex quotation from WATMM:

http://forum.watmm.com/topic/78556-stra ... try1989940

"I should be clear and say it's my assumption the other 5 are in the UK - after all, I doubt WARP mailed these in their normal distribution - most likely (like in NYC) they had a WARP rep take it to the shop directly. WARP doesn't have any non-UK offices besides NYC, right?

I'm assuming they'd not want to mail it for fear of some fan getting ahold of it early, ruining the surprise, etc. I imagine that's why they got so cross at any mention of a pending release, since it put everyone on "the lookout" as it were.

5673221"

He posted a code in there! Who knows if they are just random.

Also we have the numbers from CSCH - video:

717228

Plot thickens.

Ah yes.

" Speculation is that “Trails” will contain the next hint."

Yeah, hmm I've been trying to reach out to sources in Japan, but maybe there aren't records there. I'm hopeful, I was really inspired by the possibility that this was a global thing, all inspired by Boards of Canada, I thought that would be so cool.

That is a great idea, thanks for posting that. Unfortunately we've never had many good contacts with the Japanese fans in the past. There's a couple Japanese interviews we know exist, for example, but haven't had the resources to find. How well do you know Japanese?

I can get by, can you tell me where to search for these interviews?!

Did time stop?
