IDEM Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 25 years ago, arguably one of the best albums in music history was released. I for one would not be the celestial being I am today without it. Happy BOCday, everyone.

Rubin Farr Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 This has some of the best subliminal voices of any electronic album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerwolf Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Haven’t played this album for ages. Probably should rectify that. Been kind of bored with BOC for a while. Need something new to get the juices flowing again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thumbass Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Great album, probably the BoC project I play the most. Most BoC albums require a specific type of mood i have to be in but not this one. I'll never get bored of tracks like Sixtyten, Rue the Whirl or Aquarius. Damn near perfect from front to back. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chemick Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 one of their best tracks, it never fails to lower my blood pressure and remind me that everything in life is exactly as it's supposed to be. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendly Stranger Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 My desert island album, even though depending on the day I think I like Geogaddi more. I never get tired of listening to it. Telephasic Workshop changed me. Smokes Quantity might be their most underrated track imo. What more can be said that hasn't already been said? It should be in any music fans top 20 of all time. It should be in any electronic music fans top 5. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud capture Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 dopest dope I ever smoked 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 first heard it in '99. dudes I was hanging around with back then heavy into the rave scene somehow had a copy. this was the burgeoning napster/CD burning era, so a lot of stuff I heard around then I wasn't sure where the hell it came from, some was of questionable quality. was this some bedroom producer trying to make a knockoff of something, I had no idea. anyway, I recall not being immediately taken by it at first. the stuttering beat on Telephasic Workshop seemed a little off to my Mowax/Ninjatune loving ears. I dug the more hip hop oriented beat stuff then, so the middle part of MHTRTC certainly had appeal. it was Pete Standing Alone that kept me coming back for more. the mid section kick drum break with hi hat interplay was just so fucking dope. that was it. the rest is history. down the warp rabbit hole I went. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diurn Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) What a beautiful album it is, I remember discovering roygbiv for the first time circa 2005 and was such a satisfying experience, never thought that this kind of music existed. Timeless classic by the bros, influenced so many artists. Happy birthday MHTRTC! Edited April 21, 2023 by Diurn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not convinced the live version isn't the better of the two. Life changing track, and I'm being sincere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YEK Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I discovered MHTRTC not online but in the local record store ( now gone belly up ). It must have been 2000?? I was just randomly going through their huge electronic cd section and landed on it and the cover art really grabbed me. Lucky me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcofribas Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 what can I say that we already don’t know? truly one of the best albums I’ve ever heard, the kind of thing that makes life feel like a blessing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
