great poll, i'm excited to see how this plays out. but i think you should remove BoC Maxima and Old Tunes because they're not real albums. if i was a major warp artist i wouldn't like it if people were comparing albums that took me eight years, to a bunch of folders of random experiments i did in audacity that i uploaded to soundcloud when i was 14. just sayin'

I used the Discogs listing. 

the discogs listing was mainly written by fans. there are published record guidelines out there - the point is Old Tunes were never meant to be "albums" and it's really obvious.

Twoism should count though, that one got a major release endorsed by BoC.

so what are they?

literally, a few old tunes. never been released so you can hardly call it an "LP"

 

I do love both tapes though. and the even more mysterious third collection out there. right after Geogaddi

This is hard to answer since I always listen to homemade playlists when it comes to boc. Except for TH cause its sound sits there years away from the others. I have one playlist comprised of the old tunes era songs, and several combinations of MHTRTC, TCH, IABPOITC and Geogaddi the bulk of which are from TCH and Geogaddi. So it would be one of those two for me. Probably TCH.

Geogaddi, easily. It doesn't have 100% of my favourite material but it has much better flow than Music Has the Right to Children. The latter of these is an album which is mostly pieces of the same calibre, but doesn't necessarily have the same consistency throughout and like I said, the sequencing doesn't feel as continuous. The order of the tracks makes perfectly good sense but it's just a bit... rougher?

twoism is an ep, maxima is a limited promo release and both old tunes are comps/mixtapes.

yeah makes sense I wonder why the discogs listing is messed up like this. 

geogaddi in the lead. I liked it a lot when it was released but after listening to it for decades I like the tomorrow harvest vibe more tbh. but it took a lot of time to get into

It’s Hi-scores (I know, it’s an EP), but until then the obvious correct answer is MHTRTC.

MHTRTC isn't my favourite LP but I do love Hi Scores and wish the former had more of the vibe of the latter. Guess I need to relisten to Boc Maxima.  Although my favourite full length of the Sandison bros is Geogaddi, I do love the sound of not their oldest oldest material like that which is found on Old Tunes but the sound of Hi Scores is very nice indeed. But my favourite album of theirs is Geogaddi because of masterworks like Gyroscope and Music is Math, which although less evocative of the old library music influences, are amazing sound worlds with intricate details and programming in their own right.
