I hope when the song titles are announced someone does this in homage to those fake Headphase albums back in 2005.

BOC have already started that the second half of TH is less human so it fits!

Funnily enough that deadmau5 song was my first exposure to Boards as a wee child, always thought it was a sweet tune. It was just a few years ago I discovered them for real and it all made sense =}

Theres a track near the end which I haven't heard but most definitely seems to be BOC, anyone heard this before and know what it is?

Also does anybody speak French who can tell me more about it?

Edit: there's two actually, I've never heard of this radio session, can anyone shine a light

This track is by Cult48, called Agfa Qi from their album Underground Signals From An Unknown Place last year. It’s awesome!!

Thank you. That one almost wasn't on the album.

Can someone share a link?

Ah, to be a young BoC fan again...

One of Animal Collective's main guys, Avey Tare wrote and recorded an awesome album in 2020-2021 and the album came out in February 2023.

BOC supposedly finished the album in 2020-2021 (if we are to guess that's what I Feel Good and Pioneers plaque are meant to represent) and MDG said it's "On its way" in July 2022 which means its greenlit. Some have speculated it takes a year to get everything squared away and ready to go. So June/July announcement this year?

Maybe one more remix stopgap too?

Has to be. I can't think of any other reason for a hold up. My sights are set for June/July.

Also the Avey album came out in physical media form at the same time as digital. BoC probably want to get the vinyl and CD out at the same time. I've noticed artists either release digital and wait months for the physical or manage to get everything out all at once.

BOC are clearly the full package people and carefully craft all the artwork to make purchasing a physical item worthwhile.

I honestly don't think BOC will release any of there old missing albums until they pass away. I have a hunch BOC want to purposefully create a sort of mythos of sorts, a legend if you will. To keep people constantly talking BOC and thus keeping demand for more BOC content high.

Let me put this into perspective. Wouldn't be extremely boring if the lost albums were to just be released lets sayyy sometime this year? I mean sure at first everyone will be all excited, but then in time the whole mythos of "what could possibly be on there lost albums" would die down all together. And places like the forum and the BOC subreddit will suddenly lose a good chunk of activity in relation to discussing said lost albums. Wouldn't in a way feel somewhat sad, to no longer have the ability to imagine what those 5 lost albums would sound like according to anyone's imagination.

Maybe, maybe not

I'm somewhat skeptical about the whole boxset idea. On one hand, it would be cool to have those early albums released and presented in a more polished and cleaner format, but at the same time we know that it's been regarded as a "low-priority issue", so if it is coming out at some point it's gonna be a long, long while before we see anything. Imo, I think it was just a way to shut people up after OT leaked.

You miss the middle road here. What if they release some sort of “Some Ancient Tracks” 2LP comprised of new old music with song titles we haven’t seen before anywhere + LP5. This way we will have old music from their early days + the contemporary new LP + the mythos you speak of, the pre Twoism stuff like Acid Memories and the likes, will still remain alive. This would be a triple win, right?

:O
So OT leak was not suppose to happen?
When it happened?
Who did it?

Are you implying that it was meant to be released?
