Solange Knowles once again using a BoC song as a backing track:http://soundcloud.com/solangeknowles/left-side-drive
― Moka, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 14:48 (twelve years ago) link
I'm not totally sure how official the BoC Facebook page, but just last night it went through a major overhaul in terms of picshttp://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150200232223927.309522.6168813926
they're all very BoC aesthetic-esque, and some of them I've seen before - others never. I heard Geogaddi came with dozens of little sheets of artwork... anything here recognizable?
anyways, I only came to post this as the band admittedly near thrives in it's secrecy and them doing pretty much anything sparks as many suppositions as an utter triviality in Lost will (or, um, did. Fuck you, Damon Lindelof)

Classic (with reservations). The In a Beautiful Place In the Country EP is their peak, for me... I wish they'd done an entire record in the vein of its closing track, "Zoetrope"--arpeggiated bliss.

Only a single tune, but Macquarie Ridge is basically a (superior) Zoetrope rewrite.

They tried mixing Zoetrope with their earlier aesthetic and they got a nice but less than the sum of its parts result imo.

I get a similar feeling to "Zoetrope" from a lot of Oneohtrix Point Never's stuff, especially things like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCJ7j0nELKU
― Clarke B., Tuesday, 31 May 2011 19:34 (twelve years ago) link
I love "Zoeotrope" but an entire album of that would be the worst fucking thing (ie, Emeralds)
― Tom Skerritt Mustache Ride (DJP), Tuesday, 31 May 2011 19:49 (twelve years ago) link
We'll have to agree to disagree there... What do you hate about Emeralds?
― Clarke B., Tuesday, 31 May 2011 20:16 (twelve years ago) link
the unrelenting stasis, for the most part (opinion formed off of the album they released... last year? that people were raving about)
― Tom Skerritt Mustache Ride (DJP), Tuesday, 31 May 2011 20:17 (twelve years ago) link
You mean "unrelenting stasis" (like the phrase BTW) as opposed to other groups that operate in the drone/ambient/etc field, or in a larger sense? I'm the kind that tends to like stuff that's unrelentingly static as long as the textures and sounds pull me in, and I think Emeralds' stuff has gorgeous textures...
― Clarke B., Tuesday, 31 May 2011 20:31 (twelve years ago) link
I am fine with stasis when I find the repetitive loop engaging; with the Emeralds album I listened to, there wasn't enough there to hook my interest, and then those uninteresting loops went on for like 7 hours
― Tom Skerritt Mustache Ride (DJP), Tuesday, 31 May 2011 20:35 (twelve years ago) link
Hmm, I find that Emeralds record to be actually really concise and quick-moving, especially compared to other stuff in the larger genre (and even compared to their older records)...
― Clarke B., Tuesday, 31 May 2011 20:51 (twelve years ago) link
"Genetic" is actually really, really great (that is actually the track that came to mind as a link to "Zoetrope") but I just couldn't get into the rest of the album at all
― Tom Skerritt Mustache Ride (DJP), Tuesday, 31 May 2011 21:01 (twelve years ago) link
great great album, agree that "genetic" is tops tho

I know I bang on a bit about this, but anyone looking for more Zoetrope/Oneohtrix/Emeralds type ambience should heck out the "Blue" and "Grey" albums by an artist called Acreil, which I believe are available for free if you look around the net.
― broodje kroket (dog latin), Wednesday, 1 June 2011 09:57 (twelve years ago) link
"Genetic" is indeed amazing... I actually love the last few tracks, in which McGuire's guitar is forefronted more. If they're indeed shortening their songs and making them more punchy and less immersive than their earlier side-long tracks, I think the increased melodicism the guitar brings the briefer songs works really well. Acreil I'll definitely look for.

so what is the name for that "60's educational video" synth noise they use - you know what I'm talking about. I can't pin it down.

I have a feeling they were pretty much announcing unofficial retirement when they did that PF interview where they said they were brothers and that any mystique built up around their previous albums was a load of nonsense etc...

if it is hex colour, as suggested in the comments, and the complement of turquoise (which it is), then the other colours are easy enough to calculate by taking the hsl value - hsl(14,26%,46%) - and adding multiples of 60 (ie 360 / 6) to the 14....
hsl(14,26%,46%) = #946557 - http://www.colorhexa.com/946557hsl(74,26%,46%) = #869457 - http://www.colorhexa.com/869457hsl(134,26%,46%) = #579465 - http://www.colorhexa.com/579465hsl(194,26%,46%) = #578694 - http://www.colorhexa.com/578694hsl(254,26%,46%) = #655794 - http://www.colorhexa.com/655794hsl(314,26%,46%) = #945786 - http://www.colorhexa.com/945786

lol. frogbs implied in the random access memories thread that the current *OMG DATF PUNK* tizzy is overstated, given the (supposed) superiority of e-boom contemporaries like orbital, underworld and chemical brothers. i can see why affection for and anticipation of new product by those three might have dipped in recent years, but if any roughly similar act seems primed for a warm welcome, it's boards of canada.
