New LP, possibly?

holy crap, one bonus to all the new people entering the watmm forum is fakes are going to be a hell of a lot more easier to do now (for a time)

This thread took a nosedive, forgive me

I wouldn't apologise my friend. Every 'BoC new album' thread takes a pretty sharp nose dive. 'cause nobody knows fuck all, and so it swiftly degenerates into more tomfoolery.

is this music a recent addition? apologies if not!

 

http://www.boardsofcanada.com/discography.html

 

Nope, it's been around for a long time.

i really must up my BoC game haha

last time i visited that page there was no music (perhaps three years ago)

the music has been there a lot longer than 3 years ago man.

 

back to the topic, am i the only one that is getting really fucking tired of the whole mystery thing?

it was done with Geogaddi. there were no mystical elements with The Campfire Headphase, and the only mystical thing about Trans Canada Highway was that it was originally meant to be released on June 6th 2006, but they probably realised "hey, this whole mystical thing is bullshit" and changed the release date.

 

Fuck the mystics, just give us verified concrete information, or just shut up. all it does is fuel the cultists.

youre rattarded no offense

The main body of that image [which is very beautiful, props to whoever it can be credited to] looks like a scanned polaroid. Lots of moiré patterns which are artifact that can occur when scanning polaroids at high resolution. I find it to be a pain in the ass but in this image it's been blurred and I think quite suits it. Looks like expired 600 film which in my experience generally gives yellows/oranges/greens.

Moiré patterns are created from scanning printed material made with offset printing. Polaroids (and film in general) do not contain dot-patterns, thus no Moiré.

Lovely textures.

it is a very nice image

I'm new to the forum, but I've been listening to BoC for years. All of their LP covers have been consistent as far as their subject matter and aesthetic is concerned. This picture could easily be the new BoC album cover. I'm fascinated with it.

This might have been obvious to other people, but after staring at it for a while, I realized that the picture is split down the middle and mirrored, but some of the elements don't match up. There are people missing on one side, things added to the other. Whoever made it spent a great deal of time on it, it's not just a snapshot with Photoshop filters on it. This is what gives me the sense that it may be legit. It fits well within the general feel I get when I listen to their music. Nostalgia, things not being how they seem, it's also quite dark in tone.

Anyway, if it is a fake, I'd like to make a request to whoever made it: I'd love to hear your music!

I've scanned many myself and got moiré patterns but it generally only occurs at very high resolutions when I do. Perhaps it's my scanner itself but it does happen although not always. Can't really explain it otherwise :/

kinda looks like a PS job to me....like this one. i dunno
