It’s probably going to be a disappointment… like that last remix.

You’ve made it really clear you’re unhappy with the pace and direction of BoC’s releases and release TO COME.. We get it—but constantly dumping that on everyone else just makes you look like someone who forgot how to feel music. Maybe take a break from the forum until you rediscover why you ever cared in the first place.

the sample from Open the Light was one of the coolest things I've ever heard. And I've heard a lot of things.

and I'm pretty sure MDG saying something is on the way is the most outright confirmation we've ever gotten for any release. BoC has always seemed very deliberate in what they do or authorize.

There might be a better one, coming from the official BoC Facebook account. This happened on March 14th 2012, about a year prior to the RSD ARG.

The recent flurry of activity was ignited on Monday when a fan posted on the Boards of Canada Facebook page, asking "Rumors of a new BOC album are rife? Any truth in this?" and Boards of Canada responded, "Yes." And that was all.

The fact that it was a public comment from the official account with many followers made it so special.

ah good call, does make sense given the scope of the event(s), thanks for the clarification. Now also seems like a good chance to say I've been a reader of bocpages for many years, one of the best sites on the internet imo, so thankyou for that too. keep up the good work.

I’m sorry, but that treat ‘em right remix was absolutely awful and I’m not the only one who thought that. I’ve been a huge BoC fan since 97/98 and I’ve never disliked anything they’ve created until I heard that. Tomorrow’s Harvest was incredible. Possibly their very best achievement musically.

If the new music goes in that sort of direction like that last remix then I’m not going to be buying it and I will talk negatively about it. I’m not one to bullshit myself or accept mediocrity.

To be perfectly honest with you. I thought it was a pisstake by BoC. Treat ‘em right’ - with the image of a wad of cash. I genuinely thought they were taking to piss out of those that bought it.

[Negamuse]

But that's on theme for the lyrics, right? And that was Nevermen's part of the equation. The remix itself was pretty good, had a kind of off kilter funk to it.

I find Nevermen hit and miss, their vibe can be off-putting sometimes, deliberately, and this was one of those times, I didn't much care for this track in particular. It's one of the ones you want to listen to the instrumental for. BoC clearly dig Nevermen and doing these mixes scratches an itch for them. Whatever I guess.

I much prefer their remixes for Beck, some genuine magic there. Kinda excited to see where they go with this sexual objects stuff, Sometimes was really cool.

After BoC have released their new material, they should invite Zane Lowe over to the new Hexagon Sun studios for a one time in person interview, tare down the veil and reveal where the magic was made

I’ll admit that I didn’t like Treat Em Right initially, but it’s now my favorite remix. Same goes for a couple songs from TH. I’ve learned not to be so hasty. I am curious if the new album will hit our “sweet tooth” or whether they will continue to influence our taste with a new direction.
