imago otm here. kinda comforting to see dog latin continue his aversion. a steady rock in a world of chaos.

every few years I go back to In A Beautiful Place cause someone I respect touts it, and every few years I find it dull, monotonous.

yeah i recently discovered that Mira Calix version and it's really nice

In a Beautiful Place is perfect as far as I'm concerned. A perfect EP
Hear, hear.

I know I felt slightly underwhelmed by Kid For Today first time I heard it - it's kind of repetitive compared to stuff on MHTRTC, but it's a really nice sustained wintry vibe and, as it's BoC, there are lots of subtle little details floating in and out the mix

Is this the apex of BoC fan art? Taking a 5 note, 2 sec snippet of flash audio from their old website and making a whole tribute style track from it.

Campfire Headphase gave us Dayvan Cowboy, which is their best album track imho. They hit higher peaks on their EPs, however.
― octobeard, Thursday, 13 December 2018 16:35 (five years ago) link
Yeah, Dayvan is all-time. I think BoC is overall better at individual tracks than at entire albums.

Satellite Anthem Icarus tho
― flappy bird, Friday, 14 December 2018 18:02 (five years ago) link
ignoring the intro, that run of four tracks is their pinnacle imo
― imago, Friday, 14 December 2018 18:03 (five years ago) link
and it isn't especially close. like, chromakey dreamcoat's last minute, all of peacock tail I mean
― imago, Friday, 14 December 2018 18:04 (five years ago) link
the intro is dope! that was the first sound of BOC i ever heard- my fondness for this album probably comes down to that. i didn't have any expectations or concerns about them using acoustic guitars
― flappy bird, Friday, 14 December 2018 18:05 (five years ago) link
there's a lot of electro-rockism in this album's lower status tbh
― imago, Friday, 14 December 2018 18:20 (five years ago) link
Obviously. Guitars! They’ve sold out to become Beth Orton’s backing band!

I'm happy to be ILX's designated "I like BoC when they put the guitars in" opinionaut

I tried this again last night. Still nothing. :-(I can't hear any melodies. And it's too clean. Generic. No mystery deep time moments. I like how their stuff up to and including MHTRTC had a layer of moss on it. This is just my problem, though. I barely listened to anything these days that doesn't sound foggy and covered in moss or rust.

Shame. What it lacks in occult dread, it makes up with pastoral epiphanies. This is the perfect music I’d listen to in a beautiful place out in the country
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Friday, 14 December 2018 21:22 (five years ago) link
Satellite Anthem Icarus is like a masterclass in counterpoint & arrangement

Tomorrow’s Harvest OTOH I’ve never gotten close to get into
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Saturday, 15 December 2018 11:58 (five years ago) link
Felt like a conscious 180 degree turn after all the criticism they got for Campfire
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Saturday, 15 December 2018 12:02 (five years ago) link
yeah I like Tomorrow's Harvest for what it is: a sustained moodpiece or soundtrack
― frame casual (dog latin), Saturday, 15 December 2018 12:45 (five years ago) link
If there was a film to go with it, itd make much more sense.
I'm listening to the opening run of TCH now and yeah this is just stellar stuff
