As for myself, I like MHTRTC. It's background music, but it's lovely background music all the same. My only consistent complaint with BoC is how analog and cheesy they occasionaly get. Like the last two tracks of the new ep. But at the same time "Bishop Amo Roden" redeems the whole thing. So...a "Classic", with reservations. But still not "where all art should be focusing at the moment."

BoC are at their most interesting to me when they move away from the two formulae I mentioned at the start of this thread. "Chinook", "Rodox Video", "June 9th", "Skipping Stones, "Red Moss" are all excellent - I think BoC Maxima is their best album; too much of MHTRTC is overtly unobtrusive and quiet as you say. Also, "M9", which makes all Parr comparisons redundant.
When they go "analog and cheesy" it's curiously endearing because I really don't like what they're copying at all - I like "Iced Cooly" better than any Roger Limb track I've ever heard. There's something in that faded-brown-to-gold process, I think.

boards of canada are really good. i'd say classic, for distilling the one ambient track that's on every idm album and basing a career around it. that's usually the best song anyway.

'music has the right' took a while for me to love. much of it is classic but there are some boring parts. roygbiv is, of course, the highlight.
the best thing though is probably happy cycling on the peel session (is this on the US version of 'music has...'?)
i disagree about plone though, fernando. i think plone work when they are overly twee and fisher-price like, but too often (on the patchy album) they try and sound darker, or more ambivalent, or go the cod- morricone way, and it doesn't work.
Boc have done some beautiful songs (the last single was wonderful too), and i think its a bit of a shame that they often get categorised as 'smokers music' (which is pretty harsh criticism)

I'd have agreed with you about Plone once, Gareth, but now I find those tracks *unlistenably* twee; I can't get more than a minute into "Marbles" without choking, and don't get me started on "Bibi Plone". Conversely, "Busy Working", "The Greek Alphabet" and "Top And Low Rent" sound better to me than they ever did.
K-reg hits the nail on the head, as often, I think.

The 70's BBC children's television series, The Changes, is anindisputable influence for MHTRC. Robin Carmody is well aware. His BBC Radiophonic Workshop essay is outstanding.
IABP and Geogaddi are minor shifts in the BoC sound. The whole David Koresh theme is creepy, but I love it.
I say they're ace, hands-down, CLASSIC. They make beautiful textures, tones, and melodies with very few synths and outdated samplers and that is no simple feat!

It's hard for me not to perceive some baked (ho ho) in context with BoC, being almost exactly the same age as them. There is a degree of specificity to the references to TV and wildlife films and media from 'our' childhoods, on MHTRTC at least. They had an incredible knack for it, being siblings around the same age is probably part of it - being able to excavate those memory / feelings together. But also some of it is literally samples from children's TV programs from the 70s FFS.
The only "aliens" vibe I can remember getting from BoC is I associate Tomorrow's Harvest with The Tripods.
― grebo shot first (Noel Emits), Tuesday, 18 August 2020 22:12 (three years ago) link
like the problem to me of positing BoC's canon as unremittingly dark (beyond simple counterexamples) is that their whole method is haze, ambiguity. psychedelics can convince you that you've figured it out, you have the final story. they can also induce a kind of alert confusion that helps recognize things that conflict with your existing worldview. BoC seems to me to lean towards the latter.

unique whimsy/dark balance, hard to pin down.
it's natural to want to pin it down, but - ugh, am I really going to reach for this metaphor? - the kaleidoscope keeps shifting.
i don't take that track as cancelling out the previous, or even following on from it chronologically in the timeline of whatever story they're telling. i also think the apocalypse will be patchwork, confusing, unevenly distributed, so to me the idea of a more positive story being told alongside a more negative one makes sense.

― lukas, Tuesday, 18 August 2020 22:27 (three years ago) link
If anything, Everywhere at the End of Time (stages 4-6 in particular) goes to show just how tranquil and airy BoC's music is in comparison. Like lukas said, it remains tethered to ambiguity even at its darkest and thus differs greatly from the explicitly tragic, progressive breakdown of memory The Caretaker lays out in sound. There is nothing as hellish as Stage 6 in BoC's discography, and even if there were, it doesn't go on for more than an hour.
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 18 August 2020 22:27 (three years ago) link
this has all been a great discussion. thanks everyone.
i think context absolutely matters with them. as a person who actively experiences auditory psychosis as a normal thing, i've always understood boc to be the music of the consciously insane — that is, people whose mental health is an ongoing chess match. sometimes you hear that one voice and it's happy and pleasant. other times, it's the same voice in the same timbre and inflection but it's saying some very disturbing things. same thing with their music. sometimes 'dayvan cowboy' sounds like the absolute most beautiful thing ever; other times it's the soundtrack to the apocalypse. nothing about the recording changes though.
i've always understood the "no censorship" message at the end of music has the right to be metaphoric — you have to let your psyche do what it does, because if you repress and try to silence the parts you don't like, it will end in conflict.

all their albums have slightly different vibes but Campfire Headphase really feels like the outlier in all that.

I find Cioran as depressing as it gets but I definitely agree about Eraserhead. How do people not find, for instance, the “OK Paul!” and “So I cut it like a regular chicken?” scenes uproarious?
I'm with kate and all those who find the music profoundly unsettling. Are those of us who do so roughly in our 40s or older? I feel like the music, as it does the makers, may have the melancholic resonance for those of us who grew up in an analogue era and watched 70s era science filmstrips.

for me the caretaker and boc are different in several ways. first, everywhere at the end of time is a monumental work of _individual_ desolation and loss. alzheimer's is a particularly strong fear for me, particularly disturbing to me. i'd prefer there to be bright lines between the living and the dead, we all act as if there are for a number of reasons, but in point of fact there aren't, necessarily. a life is not just heartbeat, a life is not just breath, it is a number of things that are beyond our ability to name sometimes, and beyond our ability to agree on most of the time, so heartbeat, breath, we treat them as absolutes when they aren't, when it is not just possible but not uncommon for people to die while still breathing, while their heart still beats.
that is what terrifies me about alzheimer's, the prospect of dying not all at once but by degrees, the person i was slowly slipping away and being replaced with confusion and pain, of wanting to make a final end to it but never knowing when or how. the way cioran meant to kill himself but in the end it went too fast.
the most disturbing stages of "everywhere at the end of time" for me are stages 3 and 4. what used to be comforting is twisted and transformed into a nightmare, moments of respite and solace turn wrong and hellish without warning. the subject sees themselves slipping away and can do nothing, hope for nothing.
i haven't listened to stages 5 and 6 all the way through. i'm not interested in doing so. not because they're too "disturbing" but because they have no _meaning_ for me. there are no words, there is no reference to the person the subject of the work once was. it's all pain and confusion and sometimes bliss but none of it accessible to me, a living person.
to me, what tomorrow's harvest does is to cover a lot of the same ground as stages 3 and 4 of "everywhere at the end of time", but that record is not about individual desolation and loss, but about _collective_ desolation and loss. in "everywhere at the end of time", the subject loses themselves. in "tomorrow's harvest", we watch the world dying, everything we loved, everything we knew, coming to dust, knowing that there is no hope for it, for our children, for any of us.
that's very hard. should i look away?

Good thread. I've never picked up despair from BoC or at least I've not been very sensitive to that side. Creepy yes, bleak sometimes, but also regularly serene and life-affirming (eg Campfire, which unlike most is prob my fave). For me the most disturbing aspect of their stuff is the whole "past inside the present" thing (very similar from what I ger out of Patrick Modiano's books) and the idea on the one hand that the past is still very much alive in what we do and how we live, and on the other hand that the present is twisting our grasp of the past (that's kinda how I interpret the blurred faces on the cover of MHTRTC). The pagan mystic stuff and numerology is fun but secondary and probably not really worth digging too deep. Mainly, I just find their music incredibly beautiful.

There’s been discussion about the recording quality on the BoC forum. Posters who I assume are teenagers are speculating that if this is a 50 year old from Scotland that maybe he doesn’t have access to smart phones and can’t use technology. Which I laughed at but also cried a bit because I resemble that demographic. But it makes sense to me, he’s apparently said he was posting because people didn’t believe he had it. Posting in deliberately low quality helps back up his claim, but if it was a FLAC quality rip it would be all over the net and might open him up to WARP’s solicitors contacting him.
