Someone made a really quite great 80 min video about BOC's work that's not nearly as lame as it sounds. Made me emotional tbh. Might be rather "tell me something i dont know" for a few of you but it's still very well put together

Yes I’m aware similar threads have been started and exist. I felt like starting a new one since it’s been a while and times are tough lately so lay off! Jk What’s your current favorite all time BoC track? It’s allowed to change from time to time hence the new thread. In the past I’ve always had a hard time not saying 5-9-78. Honestly, and I know the album it’s on is divisive, I think Tears From The Compound Eye might be the most beautiful piece they've ever done and right now it’s the track I need. It’s psychedelic, comforting, serene, and nostalgic all at the same time. The times feel literally like Tomorrows Harvest but I could honestly use another TCH-es…

Please excuse my naiveté, the question is genuine: At what point did BoC transform from being simply one of the Warp Big Three to obsessed over love child of the great unwashed? A brief history, from my perspective: BoC release MHTRTC in 1998 and I hear the band for the first time. Great stuff, I approve and buy anything from them that I can. (stuff) BoC release TCH. I personally think it their best work to date but most of the rest of the BoC knowledgeable world seems to disagree. 2010-2012ish, my brother mentions a friend of his listens to BoC, (first indication I have BoC have crossed into the wider consciousness of the world) …

Remember when Mike was going to sell off one of the old boc tapes and some peeps got all flustered about it, and Mike ended up posting a video of him smashing it with a hammer. I loved that.

Back in 2000 Worm Interface (Ambient Soho’s label) released a compilation - Electric Chicken Volume One. There’s a track on that comp by an artist called Hexagon Sun. Is that just a coincidence or is there a connection? https://www.discogs.com/Various-Electric-Chicken-Volume-One/release/1395 Man I miss record shopping at Ambient Soho, happy days.

Probably some kind of retrospective on TH in light of the current climate but bit weird for them to be mentioned on the front cover just for that...

Turns 25 sometime this year, doesn't it? For whatever reason, I decided to give it another listen on my evening walk today, and I had a real moment. Like porno dude in Sixtyniner. When the name Twoism comes up here it's more often in reference to the eponymous forum than to the EP itself (or mini-album, or whatever it is). Could it be that this one is a little underrated? It's an incredible record and I'll love it forever. That is all.

Does anyone have that track from around 2005/2006? Back when that whole Red Moon trip/hype started. I know it 's a fake but it was a very lovely piece of music. Some kids and fireworks come in at the end. I used to have it on disk but can't find it.

Lovely track, one of my faves on the album. It takes a little while to grow on you, it reminds me a bit of one of their remixes. I think it's also one of the more emotionally complex tracks on the album. Funky, swinging, melancholy, hopeful. As with the other tracks, it cuts off too quickly and descends into noodle-ville...

Season of the Witch (George Romero)

Hi guys. I was just wondering if this film is worth obtaining on DVD. I believe a couple of audio samples from it were used on Geogaddi, so it has the BOC seal of approval I guess. Is it actually any good? It seems to be a b-movie albeit directed by George Romero so it may be of some reasonable quality. Am I right in thinking it contains some fucked-up dream sequences shot in the desert or in the woods or something? I appreciate your information!

Not to make myself the most hated man on the internets and bring up another BoC topic, but I finally got my copy of The Campfire Headphase (japanese edition)...going to listen for the first time. I've heard nothing of this at all....so it will be something very new.
