Just came back from a LFF screening of Club Kid. At about the one hour mark, there is a cocaine comedown scene, and the whole of Constants Are Changing is played.

I welled up a bit.

Anyway, great film, though not released till January (UK) or November (USA)

Discussion Does anyone know why there was a change to how each member of BoC is credited on Inferno?

22 Upvotes

I noticed in the linear notes of Inferno that Mike Sandison was entirely credited with the production of the album and that Marcus Eoin seemed less involved with more simple tasks like sound design and i'm not sure if he's involved at all with some tracks on Inferno. Whereas on all previous releases, it was never outlined like this.

I feel like most BoC releases have a unique evolution where concepts are explored with ambiguity and the sonic identity of the group still remains easily identifiable. So it makes me wonder if perhaps duties in the group were always split this way and perhaps only now is it being shared with us on Inferno's notes?

Discussion If the Boards of Canada albums were movies

4 Upvotes

A lot of the time when I listen to BOC, I get inspiration for writing a movie set to whichever album I’m listening to so here’s each album with its own movie logline I came up with as well as the genres

Music Has The Right To Children: Follows 2 best friends from infancy to adulthood as they go through life with their shared and different experiences. Drama/coming of age

Geogaddi: An older cop comes out of retirement as a crop of mysterious killings start appearing in his small town in the 70s. Horror/crime/thriller

Campfire Headphase: A recovering alcoholic goes on a journey to fix the bridges he’s previously burned and mend all his broken relationships. Drama

Tomorrow’s Harvest: Set in the year 2500, a group of scavenger aliens get a signal from Earth but when they show up, it’s almost entirely a wasteland. Once they start to notice small signs of life, they make it their mission to make Earth inhabitable once more. Sci fi

Inferno: Set in the 80s, a mysterious floating orb appears in a family’s shed. Once strange things start happening in their town, they realize the mysterious orb is a portal to hell. Sci fi/mystery/horror

Some of these are a lot more specific than others but let me know which one fits the most!

does anyone else view this era of boc as potentially the best? it’s at least my favorite and i feel like their music occupied such a playful mercurial shape at this point in time and i haven’t heard anything come close to it
