I got into BoC big time because of Tomorrow's Harvest. I love their sounds, but I can't shake the feeling that some of the songs would be all too appropriate in films of the adult variety.

Do you think these guys have day jobs? I'm just curious about the economics of releasing music so infrequently and not being a touring group. I guess there's a lot of licensing?

you get paid a lot for music used in mainstream TV & ads, something they've had a lot of success with. plenty of tunes were used in Top Gear for example, which is shown on repeat worldwide, and you get paid for every repeat via PRS and the like. my dad knows a guy who wrote the theme tune to a popular kids TV show that was sold worldwide, he never has to work again apparently.

An entire Tomorrow's Harvest movie was assembled from band videos, fan-made projects, etc.https://vimeo.com/93641491

Okay, have a great weekend everyone.ππ»

i've started to entertain the idea that this might be their best record
― ciderpress, Saturday, 9 March 2019 01:52 (five years ago) link
I need to give this itβs due. I love BoC and have never connected with it.

their masterpiece IMO

it's a weird album.. incomparable to TCH. Been enjoying each of them for different reasons. TCH is underrated

It's way better than Campfire but I still maintain that nothing touches the 90s stuff. sometimes I wonder if people even hear/get what's special about the 90s stuff anymore.
― brimstead, Saturday, 9 March 2019 06:19 (five years ago) link
People who enjoy the older albums, like Music has the Right / Geogaddi / In a Beautiful Place / Twoism, Boc Maxima et al- do you question their experiences or appreciation of those albums?
Tomorrow's Harvest is very 'unlike' Campfire, I wouldn't say either is better than the other..
― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Saturday, 9 March 2019 17:25 (five years ago) link
tomorrow's harvest is too dark for me to cope with

TH is too boring for me to cope but then again I love Campfire so

The only time I have listened to this all the way through in one go is when it was just released and Limmy improvised a story over it on YouTube.

TH has some lovely tracks. It's a bit spotty midway through, where it feels kind of like an ambient collage, but it begins promisingly, and finishes strongly. Split Your Infinities, Nothing is Real, New Seeds, Come to Dust, and Reach for the Dead are mostly good to great tracks, and there are nice little moments throughout the entire thing. Sick Times could've been longer (?), and Cold Earth ain't bad!? it took a me while to warm up to Jacquard Causeway. On the whole, it's an 'easy' listen, and it makes for a nice ambient album. It seems to lack the presence or momentum of other Boards albums.

I really loved the cryptic release shenanigans at the time, found it genuinely exciting. For that reason the alum still has a slight glow of magic even if the material is a little uninvolving at times. "Telepath" reliably creeps me out, but then I love Geogaddi so it's unsurprising.

i usually have no truck with "concept albums" but this LP really works for me a single piece with a narrative arc, with an end of civilisation > desolation > rebirth theme - i find it super emotionally powerful on this basis and for this reason need to be in a very particular mood to listen to it - it's subject matter that i don't always feel like confronting
no other record has the effect that this one has on me
