So how did we get this code? Were the last numbers just brute-forced?

beariksson found the last number base64 encoded in an extra HTTP header field on the cosecha-transmisiones site.

The last six digit number was in an mp3 the link for which was hidden in the source code for the website http://cosecha-transmisiones.com/ which beariksson found.

Not sure if I was the first but I think I got the correct password pretty early / was one of the first to post it maybe. Just in case BoC/Warp are reading, I'd be a way more deserving recipient of one of those promo dubplates than that guy who put his on ebay... If you fancy sending me one for my efforts I'd be totally cool with that! Nudge nudge, wink wink etc ;)

It was either beariksson or a guy on /mu/, I went there an hour later and they were joking about how one of their tripfags got namedropped on a music news site for figuring it out (forget which). I don't think anyone on Twoism got there first, the first mention of it I found there was a link to beariksson's post.

Yeah it was beariksson, that guy from /mu/ sent it to pitchfork and they credited him as discovering it - lol.

Did you see the Pitchfork article yesterday, how they claimed a chap named Hampus Gronvall came up with the password first? Pitchfork fail again.

Did you? It was in the response, base-64 encoded, not the website itself iirc

It's not on the page itself, you have to look at the HTTP headers.

Ah, thank you.

8 years since their last album and it still sounds like the music they were doing 15 years ago. It was very nice and pretty 15 years ago but how about these guys renew themselves ? I'm not sure they are very proud of doing the exact same music they've been doing all along...

can you give us a track by track review?

since you've heard the entire thing, and all...

Hey, Kanye, Imma let ya finish, Imma let ya finish, but Boards of Canada has made some of the best music of all time!

In all seriousness, I fucking hate this criticism. If they're really good at what they do, they ought to continue to do it. That's pretty much the principle on which most of the Western professional and academic world is based: specialization. Some people are really good logicians who are specifically good at representing epistemic principles and proofs, so they become dedicated epistemic logicians. Occasionally there are a few people who can branch out beyond their initial specialization, but they are few and far between. And just because they can do that, that doesn't mean that the rest of us don't have something useful to contribute to our chosen fields of speciality. Nor does it mean that everyone will produce good work by doing what you consider to be "renewing themselves". In fact, I'm willing to bet that that approach produces bad results far more often than good results. Finally, if you don't like their music and you want something new, you could check out someone else. That's another virtue of the specialization approach: if someone else specializes in a different approach, then you are more likely to find better results in that person's way of doing things than if someone else tried to "renew himself" in order to attempt to achieve those same results.

01 Gemini - warm synth melodic loop intro with dark undercurrents. vintage boc but you can tell this is going to be dark

02 Reach for the Dead - mathy repetitive beat with very precise sounding snare hits. part way through this big warm melody arches over the top of everything and really sets the tone for the record. i think there is some back masking but it is hard to tell. at about 2:36, i think i heard 'yermo' backwards but it i could be saying "i'm yours" too

03 White Cyclosa - sort of an ambient interlude but sound like slowed down explosions from an old documentary mixed over radio transmissions that are struggling to break through. there is a little beat in the back but it disappears before it can establish itself

04 Jacquard Causeway - this is a beast. the longer track time fooled me as there is a long coda at the end that spirals out from what was a sinister beat. there were children voices sampled in this one but they weren't laughing and playing. they were screaming as if their flesh was being torn from their little skeletons. probably from a nuclear explosion

05 Telepath - a warm analogue tone repeated to cleanse the palette. it kind of reminded me of something but i couldn't remember what it was. it made me feel nostalgic

06 Cold Earth - right out of the gates this has tons of numbers being repeated in a similar fashion of the code transmissions. then a little beat loop drops in and it starts to feel like the end of telephasic workshop but very very evil

07 Transmisiones Ferox - another little interlude. beatless and dark. feels like a carpenter soundtrack

08 Sick Times - that wasn't fake you guys. just kidding. it was. but this is in a similar category. there are guitars and what sounds like a saxophone but very dissonant and repetitive. sounds like there is a bomb shelter siren in the background. but it sounds warm and fuzzy.

09 Collapse - a warm analogue tone repeated to cleanse the palette. it kind of reminded me of something but i couldn't remember what it was. it made me feel nostalgic

10 Palace Posy - this is where things get very dark. this really lays the brickwork for the second half of the album. this has a hip hop beat with warm analogue wobbly synths. it kind of reminded me of something but i couldn't remember what it was. it made me feel nostalgic

11 Split Your Infinites - wow. this starts with a simple beat but then it kind of doubles up on itself and then doubles up on itself again. it seems like the timing keeps changing depending on what rhythm you are following but they all work together too. this is box magic for the new world order. very precise beats. sounds like they worked on the kick for two years straight. it is perfect. i can't tell what the voices are saying it it but it is a combo of sesame street stuff and broadcast radio emergency test systems

12 Uritual - another little interlude. bealess and dark. feels like a carpenter soundtrack

13 Nothing Is Real - this track is not even real

14 Sundown - this begins the final four track sequence that really works as 1 long track. beats appear in the back. they are very precise and it sounds like the snare is cutting through my face

15 New Seeds - the beat that peaked out in sundown gets brought to the forefront here. about halfway though, this majestic huge warbled synth line peaks through the clouds and envelops you in a magic warm glow that feels like your mommy hugging you as a baby. you will be instantly transported to a safe place and know everything is going to be ok

16 Come to Dust - the beat shifts back to darker places as does the main synth line. this reminded me of that scene in the perfect sotrm where they get a hint of sunlight but the storm just won't let them out

17 Semena Mertvykh - the entire track references bits of the whole album but there is a russian voice on a submarine saying things that are hard to make out. i think this track is going to lead into the next album and that is going to be warm and happy, but also dark and sinister
