Boards of Canada Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest

Regarding all this Warped vinyl business I recall the white pressing of TCH EP being quite poor. It was noisy and there was harmonic distortion not present on the digital files; especially on 'Heard From Telegraph Lines'. I got a second copy from Warp that was exactly the same in terms of sound quality. I wonder why coloured vinyl is so shit often?

Warp's coloured vinyl has a bad track record with regard to sound quality.

I have coloured vinyl from other labels and it's just fine.

I asked Them on their FB if it's real, and now that post is deleted.

kind of sounds real to me. i really don't know to be honest. the synths (guitars?) sound a lot like those in XYZ, towards the midway point...

Yeah, me too, that's such a shit track.

welp, all we heard so far were kinda droney beatless tracks, so there's a slight chance this is how it actually sounds. which would be a drag.

lol, i just plugged my earphones back in to listen to that track while i had some Shifted on in the background underneath it, i thought boards of canada had started pounding out heavily dark techno

Was walking around today and a guy complimented me on my boards of canada shirt. We high fived and got all hyped about the new album, love meeting other fans

That "Sick Times" post could be real. As someone already mentioned, all the promo material has been beatless and drone-y. But here's another reason: it doesn't sound like the stereotypical boards output. Even though that seems like a reason against believing it, consider this: everyone who tries to make a BOC fake does it in all the usual expected ways (warbley synths, slowed down beats, samples of children laughing, etc.). However, this track avoids all of that. It actually sounds more in the vein of Emeralds or OPN, which isn't a bad thing. As a matter of fact, I kinda like this track. Don't get me wrong, if it's a faker, I won't go out and buy that person's tracks: I hold grudges for that sort of lying shit. However, if it is boards and they are aiming for this style of drone/noise music, that would be great by me. Bring it on.

please be fake

it's a reversed sample of a guitar with some effects and some cheese panned synth's

Well whatever it is, I like it. Reminds me of this:

to be fair, its not exactly hard to make a simple drone last for whatever duration you want. I regardless like the track, im sure it would feel nice loud on a good system
