Derp! You are becoming more like us. :lol:

We 'fucknuts' are pretty sure that @boctransmission ain't a bot.
But I would advise to stick around a bit longer. I believe your pessimism will be rewarded soon. :wink:

Don't call yourself that.

Your pessimism is warranted after such a long wait. But with patience being a virtue, I feel that the tide is turning.

This like has us positively giddy, just hold out for a few more weeks and see what happens! 8)

Honestly we got nothing to lose but everything to gain. That's the only way I can put it.

When we will gain everything. I hope will be soon :)

BOC don't have a bot running their Twitter liking posts for them lmao

That is not being the "voice of reason"

For one thing, a ton of people have said positive things and tagged them and not gotten likes, for another, we're talking about a band that's so careful about it's image it took over a fan-run Myspace account. And MDG himself said the accounts are controlled by the band and trusted friends.

Either they're liking the posts or someone close to them who has their authorization to represent them is.

So here's my current big brain prediction...

We will get one more thing before the LP, maybe an EP or another remix, but something to show they're starting up.

Then, by around September we will have the new LP, it will centre around the theme of space (not letting that go) and it will be amazing.

Then this time next year, on MHTRTC's 25th anniversary, we will get the acoustic version of MHTRTC.

Later in 2023, we will get another EP.

In 2024 we get a BoC movie, filmed by the bros with an original OST, (is your mind exploding yet?)

In 2025 we get their 6th and final LP, followed by the Bocset later that year.

I know I'm way off my mark here but it's fun to speculate, which is what this thread is for. I do however hope they have multiple projects lined up so that we have a steady stream of releases for a while. I don't want another "here's a new album ok bye" scenario.

I welcome all wonderful speculation like above! It's so tantalizing to read! :D And I agree there is probably something right around the bend due to Stargate AND Warps release schedule being freed up in May. Not to mention they liked something that wasn't only deliberately on the nose but also premeditated on a forum of Bocmaniacs XD

I'm not sure why but I get the impression they/their handlers actually read this forum. Not sure why but call it a hunch.

I speculate that the Stargate thing will be an interview where they reveal that they've been releasing a constant and steady supply of their music, specifically to their fans in this forum (via what we call 'fakes' and 'hoaxes'), but they will talk about how nobody thinks it's them, and that will be their take on the whole 'fake news' issue. It will be remarkably political and it will confirm that we've been listening to them all this time and didn't know it.

On top of that, they'll also do a live tour with Enigma and a soundtrack for David Attenborough's final documentary, "We're Totally Fucked Now". And it will be sublime.

This might be better suited for the controversial BoC opinions topic, but, I'd really welcome a spiritual successor to TCH. In fact I'd much rather prefer it to a space themed album some are hinting at.

Honestly, a space theme could/would be really disappointing. How do you project an aural image of space? You do vast open minimal ambience... because fuck all is happening up there, just slow moving massiveness. Kinda boring to listen to.
I'd welcome a BoC ambient album of course if it was coupled with another release that was denser themed. nearly 10 years from TH is not a valid timeframe to create a space themed ambient album, knock it up in 6 months, sure. (yes, i'm disregarding their lives being factors to their long timeframes but whatever, we don't allow them to have lives do we, they serve us and they have nothing better to do than to carry on doing that until they die)

So, ideally, i'd like a really deep look at the human side of things for a theme, because we're fucking awful... beautiful, complex wankers and we constantly need to be reminded of our flaws. That's a great sounding album right there.

My apologies if this has previously been asked/answered.
1.) when does this issue hit “newsstands”? 2.) is there even a physical print copy?
3.) someone drop a link for ordering?
TIA

I have a feeling that this thread will soon be converging with the VHS Thrift Store thread again…
I remember witnessing the last great cataclysm.

A follow up to TCH would be just a good for me too, but I still would love to hear their take on space.

In 2001 I randomly bought AFX's SAWV2 in a record store while visiting Colorado. The rest of my trip was dedicated to driving around the Rockies with that as my soundtrack. That was the pinnacle AFX album for me, and always wanted more of that kind of sound. I think the bros would do such an amazing job if they decide to go down that road.

dont know if that helps
dont know if there is a physical copy, also no one knows when release is. some one messaged Stargate on insta and they just responded with may 2022 and an alien peace sign

Whens this issue of Stargate meant to he surfacing?

Feeling a lot of hope recently and I'm praying for something gloriously 60s sounding!

Stargate issue 3 in May. No specific date announced yet.

I checked Instagram for information about issue 1 and 2.
Issue 01: released on time the 5th of March 2021
Issue 02: announced for May 2021 but had long delay: October 7 -> October 23 -> December 21st release.

Let’s hope issue 3 doesn’t follow issue 2.

A theme of escape, whether that be escaping a torn world (whoever shared Olias of Sunhillow with me here thank you, it’s incredible and I listen to it at least once a week) or a positive oasis-like trip similar to Headphase would be most excellent.
