Alzado Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Are you sure? I usually don't agree with these sorts of comparisons, but in this case it sounds very close to me. what difference does it really make? and for those of you who are "disappointed" by the similarities that you perceive between mac ridge and the basinski track, keep in mind that this was released as a bonus track on a japanese release, it's not like it was the centerpiece of the album or anything.

Alzado Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 BOC didn't sample Basinski for that track at all. Also, 'Roygbiv' was written from scratch, as is nearly everything else BOC have released. The only samples used in Boards' tracks are typically speech/vocal samples. (The exceptions are 'Aquarius' and 'Nlogax', where the former was actually a re-creation on the groove from 'Hair'.) thanks for the info. and since you're in a question-answering mood, what the hell was all this about then?

Guest lands end road Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I'm pretty that most of the Willam Basinski pieces on the Disintegration Loops series are samples from other pieces of work that were pitched down and record to tape. Could it be that DP6 and that sample in MR were taken from the same source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beholdapalehorse Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hell, I like both tracks, so I don't really care. Thanks to Boards and these Boards...I've found another artist I enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lands end road Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Posted on the BOC official site. People thought it was some secret code that gave the whereabouts to a "Red Moon" event. Tons of people tried to solve it and even teamed up. Finally a few people thought they figured out the location and at the last moment, a few (can't remember how many) members from the Twoism board (amongst other people) bought plane tickets and met up with random people in Scotland to go to the show. I guess they didn't properly solve the code because they didn't find the show. Still crazy that people would fly all the way from America in hopes of seeing a BOC show. Sucks that they didn't end up finding it. There were photos posted somewhere on flickr, but I can't find the link. Here are some links on the code and the people who attended http://redmoon.stikipad.com/redmooncode/sh...+Moon+Attendees http://redmoon.stikipad.com/redmooncode/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alzado Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 yeah fine, but if you want to send a personal message to a select group of people, posting it on a publicly available and widely viewed web page is probably not your most discrete option. it may be true that we are not meant to understand it. but i think we were definitely meant to see it. they would not have used the chosen medium to deliver the "message" if they didn't want us to see it. assuming they wanted us to see the cryptic message, isn't it only natural for us to wonder what it means? i think it's really no different than trying to figure out what an obscure sample or track title means.

Guest Dogboy73 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 the thing that shocked me was the beautiful little loop at the start of the butthole surfers record 'locust abortion technician' allmusic .com - locust abortion technician click on the sample for the first track - "sweet loaf"... it won't load for me now, but i'm pretty sure the clip has the part i'm talking about in it. heard from telegraph lines! :omg: Blimey! You've discovered the origins of another BoC track ther for sure I'd bet. It's just to similar to be a coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I dunno, for some reason that one doesn't bother me as much, doesn't sound as close to me. It sounds very much like the intro to Orbital's Satan tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest IBM Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 My main problems in this case are: 1) Disintegration loops are a current work in the same overall genre as BoC. It's not like they took something old and cheesy from a different genre and transformed it. True. But they've only taken something simple & built on it. But as I said before I think it plays out like homage to Basinski rather than ripping him off. BOC didn't sample Basinski for that track at all. Also, 'Roygbiv' was written from scratch, as is nearly everything else BOC have released. The only samples used in Boards' tracks are typically speech/vocal samples. (The exceptions are 'Aquarius' and 'Nlogax', where the former was actually a re-creation on the groove from 'Hair'.) u kinda missed the point. i never said boc sampled WB, just stole his style for a few minites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
