are you the boz boz?

are you A boz boz

 

yeah but I don't want my arms to feel like a couple of fortnights in a bad balloon, do you know what I mean?

 

I don't want to end up like a bloody piano dentist.

Feel like I'm looking in on a conversation that would make more sense except important details have been overstepped. :cerious:

Warming up more and more to this as time goes by (ie: The AE Effect™). Was def feeling very ambivalent towards it upon release.

 

I chucked it on this morning at work (I'm here alone) and realised it's now 6 years old, which seems mental.

Then I checked discogs and saw it turned 6 eleven days ago. So Happy belated Birthday Oversteps.

A Rob Brown's album.

 

I have also thought of it in those terms, good to know i'm not alone

that should have been asked about in AAA imo.

 

also been listening to the album a lot these days

someone sort of asked something like:

 

"are there any tracks or albums that are just one of you? like - 'hey you write this one and i'll write the next one' if not would ever consider doing that?"

 

answer was something like:

 

"if there was we wouldn't tell but who's to say we haven't done that already"

They are definitely both involved in Oversteps but I can imagine Rob wanted these melodic compositions to happen while Sean saw it as an interesting opportunity to try something new. I might be totally wrong though.

i skip "known(1)" a lot

 

i do't like that i do but.. its just so damn grating

 

I have a much bigger problem with "see on see". Those piercing highs and never-ending reverb clashing.

 

"known(1)" is bearable although harsh at times.

 

In a right mood, I listen to the whole album without problems though.

I just had a look and when asked if any of the tracks are solo sean said:

 

"yeah tons of our tracks are solo tracks, usually trying to one up each other

about 1/3 of it is non-solo, as a really approximate guess

 

i dunno we just compete a lot, that seems to work for us, ymmv of course"

The idea of assigning, generally, specific tendencies (a melodic tension for Rob, and a more "abstract" one for Sean) derived from specific facts or is it a mere intuition, based on a "Lombroso" study of their physiognomy?
