Boards of Canada: 2006?

Boardsofcanada.com contains a discography of Boards of Canada's mainstream public releases. Until recently, there were only eight releases available with information in the discography. However, there is now a ninth, empty space with a complete page dedicated to it. There is no information currently present about this future release, but the URL to the release page seems to imply that it will be released in 2006. Also, the item is listed as "coming soon" at the bottom of its information page.

Will this Release Nine be a new single or EP? Might it even perhaps be a remix album? We'll just have to wait and see.
