Lets talk Boards Of Canada RSD 12″

As part of Saturday’s Record Store Day festivities, Warp released a solitary 12″ credited to the pair through NY record shop Other Music. The disc features a short clip of a woozy none-more-BoC piece, plus a vocodered voice reading out the numbers “9-3-6-5-5-7″. It appears the record may be one in a series of jigsaw pieces: the record is credited as “—— / —— / —— / XXXXXX / —— / ——” , and features dead space on either side of the clip, implying a fill-in-the-gaps approach.

We obviously approached the story with the requisite skepticism, but Pitchfork now claim they have had direct confirmation that the record is legit. An Other Music employee, Mikey IQ Jones, has also got in touch directly with FACT. According to Jones: “It’s real. We were given a copy to secretly place in the racks at Other Music; we’re really psyched that it was found by a big fan!”

– FACT

So the vinyl is legit, now its time to figure out what the numbers mean. I have to hand it to Warp Records and BoC, this brought back the young fan in a lot of people that might have written them off. Its funny how hardcore music fans that treat music really seriously can trash talk and the less serious more carefree listener is just geeked and ready to spend their weekend trying to decode the exciting mystery that is there.

I personally think the 6 spaces each stand for a letter and then will be converted to ASCII to text and its not going to spell out SUMMER but the album title. Any thoughts from you guys?

I almost went to Other Music, but that doesn’t matter since when would you even check the BoC section after feeling neglected/teased all these years?

Even though we’ve all been wanting BOC to just release SOMETHING for years, this is completely genius. A band with a huge following, notorious for mysterious code-driven music, suddenly disappears and for 7 years we are left to remember them by their archived music. Then, suddenly, strange records are being discovered in five different countries, each with a different piece of the puzzle. Only when they are combined will the code be solved. It is up to the lucky five to share what they have found so we can crack it. A hidden message. It is brilliant. They have taken that element from their music and applied it to the viral marketing of their new release. I have never been this excited for anything in music.

This really is a awesome, yet frustrating way to release a record. These guy’s are so reclusive.

I think the ASCII theory is a bit too computer geek/techy for BoC. They’re all about nature, analogue and nostalgia. No theory of my own yet though…

Been following this obsessively since Saturday. I like the idea that the numbers and forward slashes will end up making a URL.

i am so excited for this.

if you plot the numbers on an Ordnance Survey map they make an unusual shape very similair to a hexagon near Edinburgh in Scotland where they are from. The farthest east point is also 3.14 in Latitude…

Coco Channel insisted that her designs could be identified on sight.

DJs are in a position to instantly change from managing four decks of computer software to
managing 2 decks of software program in addition two channels of external source.
On the other hand, I was having some really bad handshaking
problems that seemed worse when playing SACD, DVD-Audio and
BD Audio discs at 1080p output (or on “auto”) and

There is no denying the fact that purchasing a car
can be a nerve-wracking, stress-filled experience.
Before you make a decision and spend a great amount of money on a vehicle, it pays to acquire a bit of
knowledge on the subject. Keep the tips that follow close
at hand, and you will have what it takes to make an
optimal decision.

Aw, this was an extremely nice post. Spending some time and actual effort to create a superb
article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and don’t manage to get nearly anything done.

You and I both know that the best way to keep a man coming back for more is by giving him the best sex humanly possible.

Everyone can use a bit of stress relief, even if it is temporary.

This causes damage to the nervous system and usually causes erectile dysfunction.

If you too have been looking for the best place to Watch American Idol in a

good media player like Real Player or Windows media player
for absolute TV bliss. All events are depicted through the eyes of a
dead neighbor and she throws a light on how her neighbors deal with the challenges of life.

We will consider a small business case, but all the information that is
presented in the article is infinitely scalable; you can run an ISP with the same programs
or you can manage your family’s e-mails. Like in other games, in this game also, player has limited number of lives. Given the risks involved in changing your hostname, you need to have some pretty strong reasons for altering it.

I have been surfing online greater than three hours nowadays, yet I never found any fascinating article like yours. It is beautiful worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content as you did, the internet will likely be much more helpful than ever before.

While all of those things are important, it’s equally important to work on your physical bond. While some couples do not see this no-sex or low-sex situation as an issue, it can be a cause for concern to others. Close your wallet for one second and pay close attention: seduction starts with the mind.
