Yeah, I think it's shit. It's the cover of MHTRTC plus some extra mid '90s techo-shit added on top. So, I predict the new album will sound exactly like MHTR with added digital glitchery.

i mean, it's obviously a BOC cover, but it doesnt seem like a copy of Music has the Right. on my screen it seems a lot more blue. in any case, i just get a different feel. nothing worth arguing about of course.

Viral marketing and viral advertising refer to marketing techniques that seek to exploit pre-existing social networks to produce exponential increases in brand awareness, through viral processes similar to the spread of an epidemic. It is word-of-mouth delivered and enhanced online; it harnesses the network effect of the Internet and can be very useful in reaching a large number of people rapidly.
Viral marketing is sometimes used to describe some sorts of Internet-based stealth marketing campaigns, including the use of web logs, seemingly amateur web sites, and other forms of astroturfing to create word of mouth for a new product or service.
Five years ago before blogs and ILM, Warp would have issued press releases that would have be picked up by convential media.
Warp decided to use the email network to break this news yesterday NOT press releases via a PR firm or a news story on their website, because they knew that Viral Marketing via an email message would create an internet BUZZ. i.e Connecting direct to the fans via email.
FACT: Blogs/ Rate Your Music/ ILM etc all responded FASTER than any conventional/ commercial media outlet on the web yesterday ! This was text book Viral Marketing in action ! RANT OVER

-it's a little under an hour long-for the most part, it's short-long-short-long as is the usual-many of the long tracks are based around guitar-the most immediate of the tracks uses a bass like the one in roygbiv but in a much more powerful way-it's boc, minus the sinister, plus a lot more head-nodding-one track uses a straightforward drum kit, another a 4/4 tambourine line-the synths sounded much more digital, less analog/destroyed, while the beatz were much more natural

if its a rehash of their previous stuff, Im guessing it will be a bit boring. you can only rework the same stuff so many times.

Can anyone identify those tracks? Are they just mislabeled and already released by other authors on other discs? Only track no.14 seemed to sound familiar to me, like i heard it somewhere before.
I just want to point out that all these increase my anticipation of the new album. I'm really looking forward how the campfire headphase will sound on the date of release :)

"aw shucks... i hope it isnt as sinister as geogaddi, because when i listened to it by myself i had to cover my ears."
its a great thing that geogaddi sounded so sinister because on the surface... it didnt sound sinister at all.only once you realize what the alum was all about do you realize that something else may be going on behind the music.something that ni ine else has ever done.(not that i am aware of at least)
did anyone else listen to geogaddi stoned and feel like your head was going to explode?

as for the soulseek fake that alot of yall think is real: track 1 is really Freescha - Isotopes from Kids Kill the Floor. track 08 "sherbert head" is actually "drive me wide" from freescha's what come inside you PLAYED BACKWARDS! no shit! and "peacock tail" is actually "up the coast" from freescha's kids fill the floor. shall i continue? download freescha's albums if you dont believe me. you will find almost every track from this fake on freescha's albums....
there is another fake that is just a bunch of old boc songs that are kinda hard to find, like whitewater. i think there are boc compilations on soulseek called "some old tunes" or something like that. you will find the tracks from fake two on those comps...
and then there is this other fake that just sucks ass. its just so obviously fake. some really amateurish bullshit. i bet some 8th grader made it and thought he might fool some people..if any of yall think it's boc, yall dont deserve to be fans

yeah, exactly. there's 300 posts of anticipation but by the time two tracks hit it's all been dissipated. most likely the new shit is so underwhelming it's enervated people's interest to the point that holding the z key down and hitting submit isn't even worth the effort.

OSTRE is definitely weaker than pretty much anything they've previously released. The use of crisp drum machines was a bad idea.. the mutated organic beats were part of what made BoC special. Another thing that set them apart from their contemporaries was the focus on melody, and the lack of it on OSTRE only emphasises that point.

It's the second song they play. It's hard to hear what's going on fully, but it sounds awesome.. it sounds like BoC, but in a way it's radically different form their nother stuff.

I think in trying to sound different with this album they're losing their distinctive character and feel. I've lowered my expectations tremendously.

BUT.i wasnt impressed with any of their songs on the 1st listen.so we will see.i still owe them for geogaddi even though i bought it.

In the context of the album, I'm sure it'll sound better to those of you who are underwhelmed (which seems to be all of you). But I actually prefer "Oscar" to the other leaked track.

Yes, it doesn't 'really go anywhere' because its already there! The subtleties and movements of sound are fantastic, with pieces being added and subtracted with extreme precision. The fact that there is no melodic hook makes it all the more intriguing to me. I get a sense of floating through space and passing through a swirling vortex of motions and glimpses.
I'm so glad that I didn't bring the expectations of specific structure, instrumentations and tambres that many of you seem to have. I'd challenge you to put on a pair of headphones and listen to this track on repeat, perhaps while doing someting else. I've never heard a piece of music quite like it.

Of course, this meant that I was in and out of the album whilst talking to others, but I really liked what I heard. Obviously I need to hear it on headphones, out walking, etc. But there are some real gems on it.
Incidently, one of my friends has only liked single B.O.C. songs (1969, etc) in the past, but not complete albums. This one though he did really like. I'm not sure if that means they've made a much more "accessable" record, but it seems like that might be the case.
It does sound a lot less menacing than their other stuff, but instead it sounds much warmer and almost serene.
I dunno, I still don't know what song is what and which is called which. On the plus side though, by the time the album comes out I'll be madly in love with it.
Also, the guitars sound cool. Lighten up and enjoy the record.

After a few listens, it really started to grow on me. I threw on the good ol' headphones and gave it some good attention. The layers and melodies and complexities really started to reveal themselves, and before long I realized it's the same BOC I know and love, just with a new spin. The guitar is great on some songs (Hey Saturday Sun is my current favorite), and the beats are better than I gave them credit for initially. There are, true to BOC tradition, lots of OMG-shit-my-pants-so-dope melodies buried in there. I think the backwards synth bassline that kicks in at about 3:45 on Oscar STRE is one of the dopest lines they've ever made (and, of course, it doesn't repeat, which I've always loved about their best melodies.)
All in all, it's a really sweet album. I'm not sure that it tops MHTRTC or Geogaddi. I don't think it does, but that will take months of listening to determine. It certainly is a quality BOC album though, and it'll be in my car and on my computer playlist and in my MP3 player and in the bathroom boombox for months to come. (And of course I'll be buying in on cd and vinyl in BOCtober.)

there are some things i actually think BOC have gotten better at with this album (does 'dynamics' made any sense here? a more controlled and carefully deployed use of filigree 'fx', at any rate), which makes its failings all the more frustrating (more than any backwards-run creepiness, i still feel it's just missing CHUNK)

"The Japanese version of The Campfire Headphase, BoC's 3rd album due out October 17th in the US and UK, features a bonus track called Macquarie Ridge, made especially for this release. The Japanese version of TCH is due out October 12th, a full five days before the UK and US versions. However, be warned - it currently retails for 2500 Yen, which is about 22USD and about 12 and a half British pounds."

1st album: Groundbreaking yet highly popular debut that slowly but surely gains massive status.
2nd album: Weird, proggy, musically lush, experimental but alienates a lot of their original audience.
3rd album: Back to basics, a general chilling-out of the sound, but those who expected another giant sonic leap forward are disappointed at it's simplicity.
I cite: Daft Punk, Air, Boards of Canada off the top of my head.

I've just listened to this on repeat for about 3 or 4 hours whilst writing poetry. I've decided it might actually be better than Dayvan Cowboy. It. Is. Astonishing. One of the truly great chord-progressions.

This record is Ok. I think the lack of using the odd vocal samples is more telling than using a few guitar samples. BOC cutting up some odd vocal samples over some of their tracks was the icing on the cake. You take those odd ball "orange" out of there and the tracks are not quite as otherworldly. I think it is also possible that Boards of Canada felt like the using the cut up vocal samples was a bit of a crutch and went at these recordings with the idea of pull it off without using them.

Early on I complained about the easy-listening (perceived as generic) qualities of TCH. Those qualities are the reason i've returned to this album again and again. Just buttery, effortless-sounding tracks that put my mind at ease.

those two songs might be my favourite pair (as a pair) of songs this decade, and the last 1:20 of chromakey dreamcoat is possibly even better; the rest is mostly very good but as ethan says it would be great if the next album kept to TCH's initial level of quality throughout
nontheless, history will look upon this record very, very kindly

this is the only BoC album that i like. head and shoulders above everything else they did, it doesnt sound like they are trying too hard.
― pipecock, Friday, 27 June 2008 02:12 (fifteen years ago) link
I wouldn't say it's head & shoulders above everything else they've done (I still think ROYGBIV and Kid For Today are perhaps their pinnacles), but is has, bar those two songs, got most of my favourite BoC tunes on it.
― Scik Mouthy, Friday, 27 June 2008 08:01 (fifteen years ago) link
I still don't see the appeal of this compared to pretty much everything else they'd done. It's basically just a 90s chill out album, devoid of any of the personality of the previous two LPs. It just bounces along quite boringly, there's none of the mystery of Geogaddi nor the playfulness of Music Has The Right, and yet nothing to fill that void. Why in 2005 would I have wanted to listen to some sort of mowed-over rip off of Moon Safari?
― the next grozart, Friday, 27 June 2008 08:08 (fifteen years ago) link
what may have put me off was the pitchfork interview of the time where BoC basically destroyed any of the mystique they'd built up around themselves over the years and said in so many words that they were only interested in making nice music. THat's a bit like Kiss saying they'll never wear facepaint again.
― the next grozart, Friday, 27 June 2008 08:11 (fifteen years ago) link
See, I don't think I'd invested ANYTHING AT ALL in BoC's mythology or mystery, and thus couldn't give a shit that they were brothers who wanted to make music. This album, song for song, just contains the music they've made that moves me most.
― Scik Mouthy, Friday, 27 June 2008 08:18 (fifteen years ago) link
Music has the right is still my favourite by a long shot but then again I've yet to hear the Campfire... Geogaddi never grabbed me although the weird middle eastern vibe on 'alpha & omega' is awesome. Twoism was incredibly overrated especially after all the fuss that greeted its re-release.
― sam500, Friday, 27 June 2008 08:31 (fifteen years ago) link
Fair enough, you don't have to invest in all that stuff. For me it was something that set them aside from other bands making a similar noise - backwards samples of Waco prophets, references to the fibonacci sequence etc.
I admit maybe it was time to jack a lot of that stuff in before it became clichéd. But all the same it doesn't stop Dayvan Cowboy sounding like Mondeo chill out Buddha Bar nonsense to me. I really wanted the follow up to Geogaddi to continue further into the bad-trip psychedelic nightmare it hinted at.
I had this vision of BOC's trajectory whereby Music Has The Right was the fluffy playful album with an innocuous surface but a slightly uncomfortable undertone (the closing warning seemed to hint that there was something more deep seated than this ambient loveliness). In a Beautiful Place and Geogaddi follow with a more confirmed feeling of paranoia (Energy Warning, Beware The Friendly Stranger etc). I was really expecting them to come out with a hysterical dark album, as would have been a logical conclusion to the cycle, but instead it's just lazy guitars and shimmery synths. It doesn't do anything for me other than make me think of adverts for Dulux paint and Herbal Essences bubblebath.
I guess that's just me and what I expect I suppose. Note I was a HUGE fan of this band and invested a lot of time in them at the beginning of the decade and so to be given an album of "just nice tunes" is a bit of a downer for me.
― the next grozart, Friday, 27 June 2008 08:34 (fifteen years ago) link
i pretty much agree with ya, i've always thought TCH just lacks depth, and it's never held my interest.
― ledge, Friday, 27 June 2008 08:39 (fifteen years ago) link
That's all fair enough, Grozart, and I can see that had I been that emotionally invested in them then TCH would probably be a big disappointment to me too.
― Scik Mouthy, Friday, 27 June 2008 08:40 (fifteen years ago) link
I can relate to what Grozart is saying but the last few times I played this, on late sunny afternoons, it totally fit the mood. Different records for differnt times, I guess.

Though I wasn't in love with it at the time, this has become the album that I turn to when I want to listen to BoC these days. MHTRTC and Geogaddi are still great, but the former sometimes sounds a little chintzy and the latter has never been served well by all those interludes.

"Dayvan Cowboy" is Mondeo chill out bar Buddha nonsense? I shake my head at you. Sometimes, keeping it (fairly) simple is the way to go. Especially when you can get such uniquely blissful sounds out of your instruments. Sonically and structurally, this album and Moon Safari are miles apart.
― Just got offed, Friday, 27 June 2008 09:47 (fifteen years ago) link
louis, what do you think of their other albums just out of interest?
― the next grozart, Friday, 27 June 2008 09:58 (fifteen years ago) link
I really like Music Has The Right To Children although I'm rarely tempted to listen to it ahead of TCH. Geogaddi I have but I don't really ever stick it on. Maybe I should rectify this! My brother has every single BoC release, obscure or otherwise, just in case I need to hear some of the non-album stuff. TCH is just so much...meatier, so completely at one with its own blissed-out vibe. It's hard to explain but the addition of guitar-sounds probably appeals to some sort of electro-friendly rockist in me. :D
― Just got offed, Friday, 27 June 2008 10:02 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah i think the guitar factor puts me off as well really. don't know why, it just seems like an unnecessary gimmick to appeal to Q magazine critics. gone are the analog synths and gnomic samples, here's some lush strings and slow picked guitar.
I think Geogaddi and In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country are my favourite releases by BOC. I've always enjoyed their eviler undertones as I said. MHTRTC is great too but I may have over-listened to it. Geogaddi is claustrophobic and messy in many places but I think it's also their most detailed and interesting.
― the next grozart, Friday, 27 June 2008 10:14 (fifteen years ago) link
Probably, Geogaddi is the one I admire most but tbh I haven't played in years. 'Beautiful Place' is the one I never tire of.
― baaderonixx, Friday, 27 June 2008 10:16 (fifteen years ago) link
beautiful place is amazing. i like it because all the tracks are really really simplistic - I was thrown by it at first when I first heard Kid For Today as it's really long and repetitive compared to stuff on MHTRTC, but as an EP it's so bleak and pretty, like a forlorn winter's day after snow.

they make electronic music sound brittle & old by applying some special techniques. in the beginning they used taping, then analog synths. iirc they copy samples so many times that the end result has got this warm, nostalgic, hissing sound. something like that.
