Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest (2013) - Full Album 

Boards of Canada helps me remind myself that no moment is uninteresting or meaningless.

Wow... 10 years old. I remember people excitedly waiting for the launch stream back then. Time passes so quickly!

I swear I'm feeling memories from other people's lives listening to this.

Music Has the Right to Children = spring Geogaddi = fall The Campfire Headphase = summer Tomorrow's Harvest = winter

Played this album during a Road trip through the Mojave desert to Vegas. That was intense.

This album perfectly encapsulates the feeling of everything that is unfolding right now. Perfect music for these very strange times.

My favourite pandemic album. The album feels like a seven year old warning for the future.

8 years, hasn't this aged well, sounds better today than the day it was released.

Come to Dust is insane. I find that the emotional/aesthetic impact of many BoC works are highly situation-dependent. Hits totally different depending on life circumstances at a particular moment. The first few listens are often meh. Then there's that magical moment where the layers of the song finally hit with full force. The name is perfect, too, and reintroduced me to poetry. Helps me to come to terms with the impermanence of everything, as an almost meditative exercise. The constant struggle to maintain, let alone improve, is a losing battle in the end. The hope and potential of youth fades, teeth fall out, mental faculties decline, the body weakens, people leave. It helps me to come to terms with the things I have little or no control over. Fear no more the heat o’ the sun, Nor the furious winter’s rages; Thou thy worldly task hast done, Home art gone, and ta’en thy wages: Golden lads and girls all must, As chimney-sweepers, come to dust. Fear no more the frown o’ the great; Thou art past the tyrant’s stroke; Care no more to clothe and eat; To thee the reed is as the oak: The scepter, learning, physic, must All follow this, and come to dust. Fear no more the lightning flash, Nor the all-dreaded thunder stone; Fear not slander, censure rash; Thou hast finished joy and moan: All lovers young, all lovers must Consign to thee, and come to dust. No exorciser harm thee! Nor no witchcraft charm thee! Ghost unlaid forbear thee! Nothing ill come near thee! Quiet consummation have; And renownèd be thy grave!

this album is super underrated, after almost 10 years of listening to BoC this has grown to be my favorite

These are hard times and this album seems fitting.

I fucking love Gemini. I can't describe it. They just capture the essence of the whole album in that one track. A kind of foreboding, but not in a way where you're helpless or defeated, but more like you're joining into the feeling, making it your own and embracing it, and going forward to meet what is to come...

Arguably the one BoC album that has a blunt, clear message. Like all high forms of art, essentially preaching to the choir. Those who need to hear it most, are not in a position to even want to hear it.

Dark. Disturbing. Makes you feel uneasy. Sounds like the end of the world but made on cutting edge instruments from 1978. Menacing. Uneasy. I love it

I can't recommend you enough listening to this album when you are traveling across the mountains, watching the snowy peaks and all around trees, going trough the highway. It's an out of body experience.

If you treat this album as a timeline starting in 2013, Transmissiones Ferox lines up with 2019. "19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19-...". Next up is 2020 as "Sick Times", 2021 as "Collapse", and 2022 as "Palace Posy"...anagram for apocalypse, but also posies are a flower used to help hide the stench of mass death. I'm not sure I want to Split My Infinities.

been a fan since i was a child. i thank my dad for introducing me to such an amazing group. Music has the right to children is my ultimate favorite.

Track 1 is so conceptually different to every other thing they've touched. It honestly begins like a triumphant tune, you can tell that at the end of the day the BoC boys are just massive synth-heads.

10 years and this album has already aged well

My head feels two miles wide listening to this!

Out of all of BoC's albums, this is the one that paints the clearest image in my mind's eye. Desolate. Dust. Dread. Hopelessness.

Listening to boc while looking at the album artwork causes a disturbance in my energies that is both frightening and exhilarating at the same time. I've yet to find anyone who is not moved in some way either positive or negative by this music. Pure emotion.

this is the first band I have ever heard that can convey tragedy and hope all at the same time. Incredible!!

Hard not to be down listening to this in 2020. I remember first hearing it in 2013 and it haunted me for many years because I couldn't fathom how our peaceful, strange, nostalgic Boards of Canada had taken such a dark path. What did they see that we didn't? Well... here we are.

For anyone desperately in search for more Boards, listen to the first section of Unknown Mortal Orchestra's obscure b-side SB - 02. Was blown away by it and certainly didn't expect it from an indie band.

Walking with BOC albums in my headphones I'm having a deep philosophical inner conversation. This is more than just music. Masterpiece

I am just happy that I'm living in a time that music like this exists...!

Soundtracks of my life

10 years of listening to this beautiful album and it's only getting better. A soundtrack for the times being.

Wow! It sounds like their tribute to John Carpenter. Absolutely flawless. The reprise of the beginning of reach for the dead at the songs end really got to me a bit.

I wasn’t ready for this when I heard it in 2013. In 2023 I’m ready

BoC are subtle, knowing full well their synth is nostalgia inspiring, by calling out the future, they're placing the listeners in the zeitgeist of a would-be previous generation looking at the future, i.e our present. But this future they had in mind, full of promise, is so much more hopeful, brighter, almost innocent if not to say naive. So BoC sound is that yearning for the loss of innocence. Progress is cool, but it ain't what it was promised to be. So that typical old school robotic synth is that reminder of what yesterday sounded futuristic, which to the modern ears already sound stereotypically naive, but the BoC takes that sound to another level, adding an atmosphere devoid of anything else, not beat to break that "promise," it's as if that promise still stood, in an alternative universe, untouched, still looking to the future that would have been our present. BoC is fundamentally postmodern and psychedelic, postmodern for it actively creates a future based on a naive past and long gone conception of the future/progress. Psychedelic for the lack of "groundedness", the atmospheric creation of the sound, like a cloud passing in the sky, barely a shape, barely formed, barely a thing, and yet forever promising to take shape. The hope in this positive future is kept. The innocence of the past injected in our veins like that missing substance to our present, a present where the future has already materialized but in a disappointing form, not the shape that was promised to us. This groundedness in the present is really a loss of trajectory. I guess the message of BoC is that any purpose is better than none, even a false hope is better than a world of facts devoid of trajectory if not to say faith, faith in something, anything, faith in progress and the future, faith in something, faith for its own sake, believing for the sake of believing in something, not the object of belief is the stuff we yearn for. We at best momentarily reach that stage through drugs, but when the trip is over, even the faithful no longer believe the way they used to believe. But then the faithful of the past had a certainty that might not have been all that based in beatitude nor all that comforting. Could it just be a projection of the present onto the past of what they imagined the future would be? In the end, it seems BoC musical landscape is always self-referencing rather than self-centered, pointing away to a place it pretends existed, but actually pointing to a place every song is painstakingly recreating, with every note, with every synth, until it is faithfully (pun intended) restored, and made past. But that imaginary past feels so good, in the end, we enjoy its fiction and wish it to be real. And we're back to nostalgia, but for a place that never was, and in that sense BoC is more postmodern than psychedelic.

this is heavy and real if you listen to it without judgement it will affect you its amazing what can be said sonically without words

Boards of Canada are nature to me, it's birds gliding at the beach.

Listened to this the first time and as soon as the last track faded out, a storm began. It's raining heavily and you can hear thunder roaring across the skies. Perfect.

2023 now, and this is a reminder to appreciate all beauty in your lives and the world around you before its all too late

If there is such a thing as a prophetic instrumental album, this is it

I remember when this album was released in 2013. My first thoughts were this album is a warning from the future. I still believe this more now than ever. Sadly, I doubt BOC will ever release anything again. Just a hunch.

Out of all of BoC's albums, this one paints the most vivid images in my mind...

Sounds like the soundtrack to an eighties' dystopian film. Very cool.

'Nothing is real'

It took me a minute, when this album came out, to latch onto it. It's cold. Dark. Times were different then and this album felt a little off to me. Now. It makes perfect sense. Listening to this album is like coming home.

This (like their entire discography) has aged well. No album better depicts the current state that the world is in than this. It’s almost like they can predict the future through their tunes. Legendary duo!

The soundtrack to where we are heading as humanity. This should send shiver down the spine of everyone. BoC really nailed the omnious feeling of impeding doom.

The soundtrack for 2020 and beyond .......

at some random library studying, but had to log in to appreciate how beautiful Boards of Canada is. they created an atmosphere that i love to be in, possibly forever

Keep coming back in the wake of all the pandemic news this week. I've found I really am drawn to their music when things get uncertain or tense. Somehow they help channel and refine my thinking in times of great stress, and help put it to music. Pretty much all of their music feels nostalgic but this album in particular has a really eerie quality of existing in the present and in the near future. It feels more grounded and concrete while maintaining and modernizing that haziness and dreaminess their music became famous for. I wasn't sure about this album when it first came out because it sounded cleaner and more modern to me or something. I couldn't exactly put my finger on it but I now believe it was a conscious decision because this album isn't like the other ones - it music for the here and now. This album to me is about the turbulence we're increasingly spiraling towards every day. Climate change and all of its associated fallout looms especially large when I listen here but like the tracklist, it's specter isn't always crystal-clear and the threats seem to be on many fronts at once; illness, decay, shortage, conflict, and a planet that is heading towards lots of problems. I feel like the bros have made their most direct message with this album and it certainly paints a picture. They claim to be nihilistic in their interviews but to me this album is their way of reminding people that dark times are ahead and in the process almost making a call to action. It's an hour of tense dark music that leaves you feeling heavy but it no longer seems like a nightmare from yesteryear but something real. something that people need to acknowledge and start moving towards helping and compassion. My 2 cents. BoC forever

This album was worth waiting for...I have been following them from Music Has The Right To Children. It's the soundtrack for the end of the world.

This album is amazing - so good. It’s perfect to listen to walking into or around a city at night, the beats and synths match the lights and energy of a city - you retreat into your own world! For me - it’s Toronto. Anyway - can’t get enough of this band and Scottish music in general. I’d love to see them live.

That Intro alone makes this a must have!

This is it! They've done it. Previous albums were building to this. Reach for the dead, the most epic of all their work. This is Boc's Eno 'An Ending'. I could understand if they never made another record.

Finally in the right headspace to dive into this album. It’s been a long time since the music has the right to children/geogaddi days. Hard to believe my buddy told me about this album dropping 6 years ago. Where did time go. Thanks for the upload

I was one of the skeptics when i first listened to this album, it left a very unsettling vibe with me. After re-visiting this album 3 years later i can honestly say i am appreciating it a lot more. With that said i still hope that this is not their last album.

Such a wonderful album.The best imo,but all their music is just as good. We thank you BOC we miss you ☝💋

i think this is one of the most significant electronic music album of all times with klaus schuze "mirage".It shows the ability of music,in its transcendental aspect,to fix the memory of places in our minds;

This is one of the best albums ever made.

There are tracks on this album that carry such intensity, its indescribable.

It's hard listening to this album and not becoming saddened by it's bleakness. The first time I opened the vinyl sleeve and saw all the deserted landscapes and abandoned settings I knew it was going to be a dark journey. 10/10

Reach for the Dead is a journey that anyone who appreciates music should take.

This album has aged into our current timeline like a fine wine. I would kill for extended versions of these tracks.

Nothing Is Real made me so happy on first listen. I'm glad I finally gave these guys a chance.

So many layers, atmospheres and hidden feelings in this album.

Happy BoC day 2021! Went through Twoism, Boc Maxima, Hi Scores, MHTRTC, IABPOITC, Geogaddi, Campfire Headphase, Trans Canada Highway, and now I’m here. Next stop AFOT, R35TT etc. Cheers!

I've listened to their previous three albums religiously and just dove into this one. Cold Earth really stands out to me immediately; what a track.

This makes me scared, worried, and lonely. It’s beautiful. Never have I known a piece of music to make me feel so much. The music is so good at conveying it’s message, or at least the message I got from it.

just vaping some weed and drinking cofee and listen to this can't believe how good this album is and that freedom that only ambient can provide

Oh this record was so hating by everyone in the beginning, but now, a few years later a modern classic: not more but no less. I love it

When ads with music pop up while you are listening and it takes you a couple of seconds to register the massive drop in quality.

Dear god how did I overlook this? Wow. So dope. Perfectly captures the pastiche of this horrible epoch in human history.

Come to Dust along with New Seeds definitely makes it on my funeral list

I get high. Lay on my bed. Put on the headphones. Listen to White Cyclosa and it sounds like an alien communicating with me.

a perfect end to BOC.

Boards of Canada for life

My favourite comments section is a BoC comments section. beautiful thought provoking music as always.

'Nothing Is Real' could serve as an ending for this record; a sort of 'don't be sad: it was never real to begin with'. A great collection of states of mind framing the end of everything. The perfect soundtrack for the extinction of Humanity, to be played on repeat in a museum of lost species. Thank them for writing and recording it. Thank you for sharing.

Incredible album, the monumental excitement I felt when they announced it back in 2013 was indescribable, and they managed to deliver something that lived up to the hype. A haunting body of work that never ceases to evoke, BoC proves itself to be one of my all time favourites.

Thank the Holy Spirit for Boards of Canada

So thankful for music like this, such a gift. BOC captures an essence of life that we so easily forget in our daily pursuits; a return to the magic of life and the discovery it holds.

Whan a year for the music ! Daft punk releasing RAM and BoC coming back with this masterpiece! I know there's no comparison between them so let's enjoy both albums! Peace n love !

'Cold Earth' and 'Sick Times' are such fantastic tracks.

BoC provides the truest "listen while you're high" experience.

Palace Posy is just an anagram for apocalypse

Boards of Corona

This has to be my favourite album of theirs. Immense listening, so deep.

It's amazing how this guys can bring so much mystery and mystique to their tracks, I can't really define it. It's like ancient electronic musique, like if the Egyptians had synths and samplers or something

Timeless music, truly the past inside the present. Beautiful, foreboding and sad. The harvest shall be grim I fear.

It's Father's Day today. BoC was always playing whenever my sons and I would put Lego sets together, and it tied those memories so closely with the music that it's something I'll always treasure.

If we salt the earth beneath our feet for today's gain - what will come of tomorrow's harvest?

You are here ---> Sick Times.

As amazing as this album is, I personally think the first 5 seconds are absolutely incredible. It sounds like a countryside news anchor starting broadcast

definitely a George A. Romero/deserted post-apocalyptic underground car park vibe about this album. With moogs.

నా ఓహ్ దేవుడు ఈ ఉంది కాబట్టి గొప్ప జీవితంలో నా లక్ష్యం ఈ వంటి ఎప్పటికీ నేను ఈ సూర్యుడు వంటి ప్రకాశవంతమైన ఉంటుంది, స్వర్గం లో ఉండాలని

im glad im not the only one who flocked to this album when news of the pandemic started getting real.

Total Profundidad, matices, texturas , capas sobre capas , en su música siempre existe algo que desde atrás florece, psicodelia inspiradora !! IDM

This is like my childhood subconscious memories in music. Hazy, dreamlike, extremely beautiful. It's a similar to the feeling you get when looking at certain images of liminal space, but much more evocative.

BOC and many other similar bands helped me through depression over a decade ago and now this music makes me think about existence and how damn profound everything is. There is a legitimate excitement within me, to be alive. It's crazy.

White Cyclosa makes me think of the opening scene from Terminator 1 where it's the future, and Skynet has taken over.

*You reap what you sow.. TOMORROW’s HARVEST*

Story, destiny of the world, with no words. Sound of Apocalypse.

Dear god that first song is perfectly mixed. What a triumph of sound engineering
