You know it's true! NY is so cool! LA is so cool!

FACT!

why do people not like Geogaddi? I have that and Music has the Right...they both seem pretty good. I don't really *know* anything about electronica or IDM or whatever, so maybe I'm missing something.....

That thing you're missing is called "snobbery".

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Thursday, 11 August 2005 18:19 (eighteen years ago) link

I like Geogaddi more than MHTR. My only real problem with BoC in general is that their beats could use a bit more variety at times.

― sleep (sleep), Thursday, 11 August 2005 18:29 (eighteen years ago) link

I too think Geogaddi is better.

oh canada, our home and native land.

advance word from the listening party:

-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

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 11 August 2005 22:19 (eighteen years ago) link

The listening party was fun, if not subdued......
the record was played twice and it was for sure dope as shit!
It is WAY more hip hop with thunderous low end bass synths on every kick and there is a lot of scrabbly acoustic guitar like the Bibio Fi record, thus perhaps the campfire reference.... The songs have silence in between, meaning they are not all collaged together and it is kind of short......
So imagine the sounds from Andre 3000, the beats from Twoism and the lush crackle of the acoustic guitar and backwards flutes and all that jazz and you are close!

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 11 August 2005 22:29 (eighteen years ago) link

it's boc, minus the sinister

Oh good!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 11 August 2005 22:36 (eighteen years ago) link

It sounds great, and I'm not even a BoC fan. How would you rank it with their other releases?

I really want this to leak.

― Christian, Thursday, 11 August 2005 22:38 (eighteen years ago) link

it's boc, minus the sinister

BOO

Hopefully the next album will be red again.

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Thursday, 11 August 2005 22:38 (eighteen years ago) link

christian i lifted those reviews from another message board.

boc without the sinister = plaid

Haha, oops. Do you mind posting the link to where you found it?

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 11 August 2005 22:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Plaid's a little sinister sounding!

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 12 August 2005 02:21 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah those steel drums are terrifying!!

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 12 August 2005 11:51 (eighteen years ago) link

in my soulseek wishlist, this morning:

my folk song recorded by a campfire in the wood which boards of canada may well have never been to but the key factor is that a) there was an acoustic guitar and b) there was a campfire.mp3

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 12 August 2005 13:19 (eighteen years ago) link

ooooh - I was kinda hoping that since they'd upped the sinister on Geogaddi that they'd do it again on this one.

― dog latin (dog latin), Friday, 12 August 2005 13:30 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah, also more grossly deformed synths recorded at more distortion-inducing levels!

im already embarrassed by how many times i've clicked on this thread.

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 12 August 2005 16:49 (eighteen years ago) link

roygjizz is more like it

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 12 August 2005 16:50 (eighteen years ago) link

at approximately 3 minutes into the track, the beat vanishes without warning and a children's choir takes over.

oh god nooooooo

― oops (Oops), Friday, 12 August 2005 16:55 (eighteen years ago) link

i don't think he means like the vienna boys choir, oops.

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 12 August 2005 16:57 (eighteen years ago) link
