BOC ------ / ------ / ------ / XXXXXX / ------ / ------

[chocky909]

Well that's what Pitchfork based their confirmation on. I guess that either the record shop could be in on it for publicity or they've been taken in by someone pretending to be from Warp. Alternatively it could be real but I'm sure it would've been confirmed by now if that was the case. It's more likely that the band and the label would delay confirming the hoax as it's great publicity whereas the doubt would be damaging publicity if it was real. An official announcement from Warp would be the thing right now.

This is just annoying.

[chocky909]

The plot thickens. Serge?

I've just put a message out for Serge over the CaB tannoy. _{(in the 'Record Store Day' thread)}.  Hopefully he'll be over to assist shortly.

[Serge]

No idea. I've had the last two days off.

[Funcrusher]

No idea. I've had the last two days off.

...after filing the Boards of Canada single in the wrong section.

[Benway]

The kids tell me that something got played on Radio 1 tonight with the track title ------ / ------- / ------ / ------ / ------ / XXXXXX

[chocky909]

It checks out. It's listed on Zane Lowes show. Curiouser and curiouser.

[vrailaine]

If I were Boards of Canada, the only reason I'd do something like this is to see what kind of hoax shit people would buy as new BoC material.


Not really that impatient for new material, still haven't listened to the last album. Is it any good? I recall the response being pretty muted.

[BlodwynPig]

Since when did BoC become so mainstream?

[chocky909]

Plays at 51:48 on iPlayer. It's the same clip of music followed by a new sequence of numbers. That's 3 now. I'm assuming all the 12"s have the same number and the other numbers will be revealed in other ways.

Bollocks this whole stunt may be but it seems very likely that this means new material from Boards Of Canada is nigh.

Which is nice. I'm not a huge fan but I really do like some of their tracks.

[gabrielconroy]

This is the sequence as revealed so far:



Any John Nash clones around here able to decipher it?

[vrailaine]

Whoever done that image had the same thought I had about the HTML colour coding anyway, not that that means anything.

Most likely just a code to give a date anyways, innit. Y/Y/M/M/D/D or whatever

[BlodwynPig]

or a web address to their new release site (I still think fake)....

www.boc.com/newrelease/album.xxx :))

[chocky909]

4th clip played on NPR.

Not sure how this could all be fake but then I suppose that bomb detector salesman managed to keep his ruse going for 10 years...

[Subtle Mocking]

The plot thickens again, code number two found? http://t.co/POwTLotzh2

This one is quite different to the other three.

[chocky909]

Source? Your PC by any chance?

Rumours are that the next number will be appearing this afternoon on Channel 4.

[Subtle Mocking]

Twitter, tweeted by Lone.

[chocky909]

It's slightly better than Beep Cleep Chimney's effort but it's very unlikely to be a genuine part of this promo.

[Subtle Mocking]

Aye, probably a fake. Twoism don't seem to have mentioned anything.

[Subtle Mocking]

EDIT: This was the video posted by 'hellinterface' in the comments for EYDIAB: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDKGVd7B7Sk&hd=1%EF%B%C2%ADB%BF

Leads to one of the four codes. Edited because I posted a link which turned out to be fake.

EDIT 2: IT'S COMING U GUYZ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2UVBIlRL04

[gabrielconroy]

I doubt it's a fake, at least not one that isn't perpetrated by Warp (for whatever reason). If it is a 'fake' carried out by Warp then it still serves the purpose of increasing the hype about the new BoC album. It seems very unlikely someone who isn't the label could make these records and sleeves, and get playtime on the BBC and NPR.

[Blinder Data]

From that YT link:

I found a link to this page via a QR code sticker on a can of IRN-BRU in ALDI.

It's LEGIT people!

'ALDI IRN-BRU' is an anagram for RURAL BIN ID.

We've got to find this bin people, somewhere in the Pentland Hills.

It holds the next clue.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S REAL ANYMORE

New video has appeared. Make of it what you will.

That's very nice, even if it turns out to be a fake.

[chocky909]

Isn't that just an old BOC track? It sounds very familiar but then I suppose a lot of them do.

[Johnny Yesno]

Could be. That would be good wheeze, though, wouldn't it? Create music that sounds strangely familiar to start with and just keep selling it over and over to people with failing memories.

It's a fake sadly. The guys on Twoism have dismissed it as some Sony Vegas DIY job. Apparently the tube was made by Tycho.

[chocky909]

What was that track though? Shazam didn't come up with anything for me.

This is nice in the meantime. Zoetrope.
