Boards of Canada Reach for the Dead - New Single Available For Download From Bleep!

The crunchy skittering beats at the end remind me of some other track, early 2000s IDMz0r.

The beginning reminds me of the Terminator theme, with the pad and that drum hit.

great track, love that signature boc chord progression. if you're having doubts about listening to this or not listening to this and waiting for the album, let me give you some sound advice:

do whatever the fuck you want

The drums sounds very clear and metall like, maybe thats why

The beats have a similar vibe to the Oscar See Through Red Eye beats. Both skittery and crispity crunchity.

Getting shivers all over this track, love the beat and the layers of synths the just build on one another. I dont think anything can beat Geogaddi but this comes close

I was unable to listen to it at work when it was released, and then my wife told me slowly over gmail chat "umm, this is bad. you're going to hate it. it's just, like...machine fart noises" and I was like "I'm getting upset, please don't tell me more" and she interjected "AWW I'M SORRY! I'M JUST TEASING YOU! It's perfect. It really is. It was completely worth the wait." And she was right

So I went from...

to...

that's the tokyo track, isn't it?

Yup, now very excited, I've felt dead the last 4 months so this was awesome.

Wow, this just blew my mind. Also, after the 10th time watching, could that last part with the three suns maybe be a Coil reference or am I hallucinating again?

 

 

that occurred to me as well...

Anyone hear a vocal sample at 3:25?

Seems a bit hidden in there.

You can hear a man say "listen"

I have now identified the track that the beats at the end reminded me of, Solarium - Part III from the 2002 album Part I-XIV. Very pretty track.

i'm so pleased

Terrific build-up in that track.

so so good. what a track

Need to switch repeat track function off winamp.... can't find it in me

I'm with you and Jules there. I want this to feel like how anticipated album launches used to feel in the pre/proto internet days...

I have an isolated spot near my house selected and on June 11th, weather permitting, I will take the WAVs, my tablet and my Grado Headphones to that spot and listen all the way through...

Take this one track and go there and listen on repeat. Then do it all over again with album when it comes out. Double bubble!

This is amazing.

jesus wept stop being such a miserable bastard.

I think I'd preferred it before the beats kicked it, they added nothing for me, there was no point to them.

Hopefully there's some more ambienty ones.

this is so good i'm crying
