This video actually makes me sad, since it makes me feel like Tomorrow’s Harvest was their final album created. Let’s hope that it isn’t actually.

this is my favorite version of Semena. the album version feels incomplete without the shortwave radio noise ehehe

true. plus when this was released I had no idea the teaser track was in fact the closer. something awfully bold about that decision imho

[@JonJonJonJonJonJonJonJon]

Kinda the soundtrack to modern living now eh. Bleak. Desolate. Hopeless. Only gonna get worse. Buckle up.

[@SongJLikes]

Still is.

[@nicobettio7883]

tomorrow's going to be the 8th anniversary of TH release and it still seems yesterday.

[@TheScaryDruid]

It's amazing that BoC can continue to evoke such a nostalgic and ominous feeling with this one track in the year 2013. "The past inside the present."

[@Jesse-py7ku]

They are sending you the future in music, Desolate Abandoned What you have ,not shall be soon It only is downhill from now on Whoever reads this article know this too Dead technology is the only perfect technology because it's fully understood Make off the past Apply to present Original sin will follow

[@baddogone42]

When I listen and like. Something like this type of music I think im alone in it. And when I fine their are others like me out there. I wonder whats our connect. To it all.

[@SativaSkies]

baddogone42 I don't like to share this band with my friends. It's something personal to me, you know? I don't think they'll really hear it the way do. It's not just "electronic" music. All tracks hold a memory. Even if that memory does not belong to you. Each track holds some kind of experience. It's special to me. Revealing these tunes to my friends is almost like revealing a secret I guess. Idk. Maybe that's just me.

[@TRKTKO]

+☠ LXT-800 ☠ very lovely words. I wish I had someone to enjoy this with..

[@SativaSkies]

Trey Kilgore I do too. I showed my boyfriend and he likes it but it's not the same as my own world. Maybe he will one day. I think once you find a connection with someone the way you do with each track, you just know.

[@Cryogenics12]

I dunno what it is. It's gloomy and mysterious at the same time. It reminds me of outer space for some reason. Like if someone were way out in deep space trying to communicate with someone via a transmission that might not make it. I also think of a city made of charred concrete and melted glass. After a nuclear strike.

[@kieranobrien5983]

@@Cryogenics12 you should check out KAYOBI if you like this ;)

[@soulslip]

I ended up ripping this exact version as the actual track at the end of the album.... there is something a little more unnerving and cinematic with the static at the beginning and throughout... for me it really made the ending all that more bleak and rewarding for me. I also added the Cosecha Number Station loops throughout. My favorite album of all time. This is the album I always wanted and imagined from them. It’s like Geogaddi pt. 2 as well as Side B to Campfire Headphase.... the exact opposite. Like Yin/Yang. This track feels like Terminator

[@banjogyro]

I believe this is the VHS tape deck they recorded Semena Mertvykh from, in an interview they said the sound is so weird and is in mono because they put it on a broken slowed VHS tape, and ripped the album version from there, this can be the visuals

[@m23c2sh]

I just got Tomorrow's Harvest and this "song" is on it, but without the fuzzy snow sound at the beginning. As beautiful as it is without it, I miss the snow.

[@WillyShufflebottom]

This release, from what I've heard so far, sounds really dark. I'm really looking forward to spending those lonely nights together with this album.

[@jeschergui]

if you like this, you will most certainly also like "Biosphere"

[@davidjones500]

Jes Chergui Seconded, Substrata is one of my favourite albums.

[@illDiology]

I bought Substrata to listen to on a long flight last summer and it was awesome. It's so otherworldly that it would be impossible to guess when or where it was made.

[@Chameleonardodavinci]

Biosphere is fucking awesoooome! I discovered him by accident like two years ago, I wish I'd seen this comment when you posted it!! Shenzhou is his masterpiece though

[@raksh9]

Biosphere is great, particularly his album Substrata.

[@AngloSaxophone]

The Sound of the universe.

[@Sektion9]

This sounds like something you'd hear while floating in space witnessing the sun implode knowing your old home is no more and you must move on .

stillness, you tame them: long enough please give on foggy days they see only only only one point merely hope for space to inhale deeply

[@SuperGunWarrior]

While at my stay in Amsterdam last December, I decided to pay a visit to a record store. The first album I spotted was Music Has the Right to Children in all its glory, and I immediately picked it up and bought it. However, it was only until today that I finally decided to play the album for the first time. It's like something told me that I needed to listen to BoC. And to my surprise, moments later I find out that a new album was announced just 2 days ago. What a beautiful coincidence, huh? :)

[@MrMushroom123]

when this gets released im going to found a religious community somewhere in the country and this album shall be our mantra.

[@Cryogenics12]

Super atmospheric and creepy Can anyone recommend stuff similar to this? I've heard most of Boards of Canada and I love them....but this one is different.

[@davidjones500]

Cryogenics12 I second this motion. I much prefer their ambient atmospheric stuff ... almost a sci fi feel. If anyone has any names for similar stuff, pass them over!!!

[@Cryogenics12]

Good call. Tim Hecker is awesome but I've heard it before.

[@supertarashi]

Cryogenics12 Give Lustmord a listen. Awesome dark ambient music.

[@vonzo55]

+Cryogenics12 Marsen Jules is also a good ambient musician, you can also find tunes like this in score genre. In this genre Martin Stig Andersen ias awesome

[@rainesages]

+Cryogenics12 The Haxan Cloak makes music similar to this, in the dark ambient genre. Slightly more malevolent tone to it, but he's one of my favorites. "The Mirror Reflecting (Part 2)" is a good starting point to get a feel for The Haxan Cloak's sound!

[@ianparknyc]

they predicted 2020 in 2013

[@olsonbryce777]

Honestly, I think their vision is significantly darker than that.

[@lilitudemonpromiscuous2329]

there's next to nothing to compare boards of Canada to to explain what they are you just have to experience it

[@DMacLean15]

As much as I would love to see another BoC project, this being their final installment is only fitting as the end of humanity seems imminent…

[@RSwessem]

This sounds bleak, ominous, apocalyptic, it has a grandeur to it. I hope the album has that same vibe. Anyway BoC, you are so good at delivering a certain mood with your music. I'm proud of you. Thanks a lot for your past music, for the truly brilliant marketing campaign (which also got all the fans together) and for the new album of course!

[@kdiggedydawg]

This is probably THE album i have been waiting for to be announced for years and years, and i cannot express my joy and gratitude for it to finally happen. Stay amazing BOC

[@how2dorandomstuffarchive814]

I just realized the little tune in the cosecha signals is not an edited version of the beginning of Everything You Do Is A Balloon. But It Is However The Ending Of New Seeds.

[@friendofjesus1680]

[@김내훈-v7g]

this reminds me more of David Cronenberg's Videodrome

The only other time i've been as excited as I am now for upcoming album, was for the newest 'MBV' album, and that was just released this year! So many amazing artists coming out with new amazing music for the year of 2013. My friend and I are more excited than ever for our first thorough listen of this new album :))

Really cool...and it's the 1st time I've seen a scrambled channel and not been annoyed ..

[@leftsidedrive_]

I've been listening for Boards of Canada for two years and I'm too excited for this album. The anticipation for this album is immense; gotta love the BoC community!

[@HazelTheHare]

But with the endless expansion of KZbin it's becoming even easier discovering new music. Some music is over 30 years old and remains practically undiscovered. But of course, only give money to the bands that deserve it, ones that you know put a lot of work into the production and don't rely on someone else to write the music for them.

[@billylovesjazz]

Brothers. You had to dig to find this vintage video! I've only seen this once, so, even if it's looped, you scored some fine, truly vintage video ... and it looks great. Brothers! I'm a brother, too. Our root, though, is goofy shit. But, fun.

[@SynesthesiaeFilms]

wonder if this is a song on the album and if it is.. which one? 'Cold Earth', 'Sick Times', 'Come To Dust', Sundown'? can`t wait to hear it! hoping that they release a single ahead of time.

[@SynesthesiaeFilms]

BoC, whether they mean to be or not.. are the epitome of indie music! real indie music that is(DIY spirit), which the industry is purposely blurring the line between more and more these days.

[@gordisimoVII]

thank you. seriously, i love your work. you guys inspire so many. thanks for all the awesome tunes.

[@MayaGuytutorials]

You guys just do stuff for my mind that it truly wants to hear. When I hear it.. its just..the rigth sound for me. And off I go, into my safe place.

[@crohnoes]

I've been a BoC fan for years and years and I love their work, but this piece sounds too grimdark and negative for my liking. Where are the warm and and nostalgic and inspiring tones? I should be wanting to listen to this track again and again, just like Sixtyniner, but I really wouldn't care if I never listened to this track again. Disappointing taste of Tomorrow's Harvest. I hope this is the weakest track on there, and they've only put it forward in an attempt to shatter expectations and hype?

Let's just hope they won't screw up...Obviously we've been waiting long for new BoC material (Personally, I didn't really care for "Campfire Headphase") but we don't yet know what it could possibly be, so I wouldn't get too excited, even though i have high hopes for the new album.

This sounds alot more darker than what they usually do. Cant wait for the new album, if this transmission is anything to go by then boards have changed the style, hopefully for the better.

[@Sikalafo82]

This is like the end, after the nuke when there is no signal anymore, no sound and you're just sitting there and waiting for explosion wave to hit you. Slow motion.

[@willynillyism]

BoC - May 22nd 24:00 @ 1-23-10 Jinnan Shibuya-ku Tokyo". Hopefully it will be some sort of gig, that means we might get the chance to hear some of their new material early.

[@irdial]

If science fiction tells us anything about the future, it says that our concerns today are trivial. Peak Oil is one example. In the future, oil will be completely abandoned for extremely abundant sources of energy. Today I read about a new type of CCD that is 1000x more sensitive, uses 10x less energy and is 5x cheaper to produce. Man is not moving at the speed of the slowest thinkers. Everything that can be invented has not yet been invented. Bitcoin is one example of a new technology.

[@patrickfiorilalonde]

Well, if these are fakes, and all others are fakes too, we would kinda have some info on who made these songs by now, at least some of the numerous fakes. Many of the fakes are so good, so BOC, I have difficulties to threat them as fakes by unknown when I also know many have tried to copy them with no avail ... Visual Drone 12 is awesome. So awesome that if nobody claimed it so far, I'll let it be BOC :)

[@styrofoamteeth]

yeah like "the devil's in the details," the notes are 666 playing over and over again. it's all very conceptual, like decaying memories, gathering dust, saturated in mold and filtered through an old tape recorder playing in an abandoned ruin of a home in the middle of the forest, where you used to live as a child. it's a apparition of the past, reminding you of that blissful childhood ignorance you can't have back, and the things done to you that you'd rather forget.

[@Jez4prez]

yeah I disagree. For me personally, if I already had the free download I'll only still buy the album if it's from one of my absolute fave musicians (i.e. top 5 musicians). Thinking about it, I've downloaded thousands of albums yet I've only ever purchased about 100 albums during my entire life (and I'm a hardcore music fan & musician myself). Everyone is different of course & I don't download albums anymore but I find it hard to believe an album leaking will somehow generate more sales lol.

[@TwelveinchChewbacca]

This is not a dream... not a dream. We are using your brain's electrical system as a receiver. We are unable to transmit through conscious neural interference. You are receiving this broadcast as a dream. We are transmitting from the year one, nine, nine, nine. You are receiving this broadcast in order to alter the events you are seeing. Our technology has not developed a transmitter strong enough to reach your conscious state of awareness, but this is not a dream....

[@DarknessHowls]

The title seems like an obvious reference to the old adage, "You reap what you sow", especially with the songs about seeds and such on the album...seems like a vaguely political dig at humanity's current trajectory, and the (perhaps cataclysmic) consequences of rampant pollution, population growth, economic dysfunction, general apathy, -Insert modern crisis here-. Very cool--seems like, along with The Knife's "Shaking the Habitual", this is a good year for socially conscious indie music.

[@Vastad]

If Iain M. Bank's "Culture" novels are ever turned into movies or TV series, Boards of Canada are the only group that should be approached to make the soundtrack.

[@bobbygnosis]

The track list has titles that sound very ominous. It sounds like some death ritual. I'm probably going to pre-order a copy so I can get one on release day.

[@SleepCyclesMusic]

I'll proposition it this way instead: an album leaking won't hurt sales. The people that download, download anyway, the people that buy buy anyway. People downloading the album might find they love it and buy it after hearing it. People won't not buy it if it leaks a month early. Those guys want their BoC vinyl and shit. I want my vinyl. I collect vinyl.

[@SleepCyclesMusic]

That technically isn't true, at all. People still buy music regardless of the date an album leaks. In fact, I'd bet on an album leaking generating more sales. The buyers were buying it whether it leaked a month and a half before, a day before or not at all. The people that download it will do the same with downloading.

[@mishm5915]

Who really cares if he used "indie" correctly or not? I think he used "indie" as in "alt" or "non-mainstream". Whatever, it doesn't matter. Looks like he actually cares about the content of the music rather than the terminology of it. More people should focus on the content instead of trying to show off their specific knowledge of genres.
