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.

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..

tomorrow's harvest is too dark for me to cope with

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
