It makes sense they wouldn't just target people who already play if they're trying to draw in a new audience.

I also read that a bunch of people who got the postcards placed orders with iam8bit, and they've collaborated with Epic in the past.

Yea that was/is an ongoing theory. I'm lurking in the Discord server that is working on 'solving' it. I've never ordered from iam8bit either, haha.

It is a fascinating ARG. Whoever's doing it, I give them props. It got me interested and I don't play any games past the stuff i grew up with in the 90s and 00s.

I think if BOC have been commissioned to write a specific sound track then we should maybe be hopeful for some original material to surface along side this like a bocset or an EP

On the other hand if they have written this rumoured space themed album and somebody at epic or another games company has managed to get ears on it behind the scenes and then got permission for use from warp ahead of a scheduled release etc. then we could be in for one hell of a ride!



I'm at the point where I'm down with a video game soundtrack by BOC. Or a Hell Interface album. Or a country western album. (After all, they claim TCH is their western road trip album :P )

Simply want to hear something new from the bros!

My son plays Fortnite and watches most of the related Youtubers, so I have him primed to look out for possible BOC-related news!
Apparently the new season starts around June 7th. He always watches the special new season live 'events' when they happen.
While I doubt Fortnite would be used to launch a new album, or that there would be a major tie-in, I can easily imagine a teaser of new BOC music being used during the new season 'event'.
It's nice to feel the buzz of anticipation again about this sort of stuff, even if we are disappointed again! Any way, aren't we due an EP rather than an album?

Ha! If my 9 year old (with the accidentally BoC related name) hears new Boards of Canada before me, I'll be livid!

I usually zone out when my two talk about Fortnite - maybe I should start paying attention...

I know it's probably Fortnite, but now we got some hexagon Posters in Sydney Australia: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheyreComing/c ... 731861051/

It reminds me of Aphex/BOC promo campaigns how they show up in random places in the world

Makes you think of what influences BOC's children have had on them during this time gap.

If the new album really is space-themed, then now is the perfect time for a release. Look at all the UFOs in the news this week

I think the weirdest thing is all the connections lately to extraterrestrial matters. There was the Pioneer's Plaque, the space references in Societas X Tape, Societas X Tape possibly being an anagram for "A site to Spacex," BOC's twitter liking a post about the sounds of space sounding like BOC and BOC's Instagram gave an affirmative emoji to the concept of Toynbee tiles (which involves the concepts of resurrecting the dead, colonizing Jupiter, the movie 2001 and mankind striving to succeed for things that are barely in reach.)

Add in the monolithes from last year and this "They're Coming" ARG with references to New Mexico and outer space sounds over the phone and if BOC was truly doing a space related album, this would definitely be the perfect time.

What would Boards in Space even sound like? Cosmic or full of void?

George Duke's Vulcan Mind Probe on Societas X Tape. Got a good feeling we're going to get stuff like that but with their melodies instead.

This, but with phat beats. I mean, what with the hexagons and whatnot.

Cross faded the end of this into "Paul Russell's Piece" and it was almost seamless.

"I know it's just a coincidence, but wasn't June the month where the Pentagon is supposed to release a massive report about UFO and UAP sightings??"

What if BOC capitalize on this? They are definitely fascinated on government conspiracy if we take into account the whole FEMA camp thing. And it's space/extra terrestrial related too, if we're to take all the BOC-space related stuff into account too

Been away for a while busy with life.. I was wondering what ended up being the conclusion of the activity surrounding the hell interface fb page and all of that? was there ever anything resembling official confirmation or denial of it? has anything else of note happened since?

Just a curious fan.. cheers.

I have not seen anything that has been considered "official" minus the hell interface bandcamp community page showing the pioneer plaque https://hellinterface.bandcamp.com/community which to me, shows that the ties between Sheol Boundary and the Hell Interface fb/yt are probably pretty accurate and connected.

Everyone is in on this new ARG that has consisted of hexagons/cosmos theme and a strange phone number that directs to a location in Roswell, NM (UFOs) that some believe to be connected to Fortnite and BoC but that is definitely a stretch.
