I put out a couple tapes by Ryan Harris that were very much in that vein. VHS head and phonoghosts hit on this sound a lot. more direct in terms of influence are artists like umberto, gatekeeper, zombi, older xander harris, stuff like this the broader new age / ambient / space music / soundtrack music / etc. they harken in terms of genres overlapped a lot back then, def check out labels reissuing or digitizing that stuff - sounds of the dawn, ultravillage, numero group, light in the attic, leaving records, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoinks Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 First listened to Reach for the Dead on its day of release on shared headphones with my best pal in a tent in north Wales while it absolutely pissed down. Loved it then, love the album even more now. It took me a minute at the time, but now I think this is the best BoC release. So glad they changed their sound and we got something fresh, as bleak as it can be at times. Also glad to see its seemingly getting more love round these parts after all these years. As thumbass said, New Seeds/Come to Dust is a duo for the electronica ages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerwolf Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Will be crossing the Nullarbor Plain tomorrow. Time to reach for the BOC and play this little ripper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goiter Sanchez Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Jacquard Causeway is the most powerful moment on the LP for me. Early on Palace Posy took that spot and Jacquard was the odd one out. Split Your Infinities is up there as well. Cold Earth is the most 'fan service'y track BoC have released :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candiru Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I never liked Jacquard Causeway. Cold Earth is just 1969 in a different costume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melancholera Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 1 hour ago, jules said: Come to Dust is a masterpiece +1 Jacquard is probably my number 2 and definitely the most bold thing on the album. As far as fan service-y I would say Nothing is Real. It has the types of sounds and melodies people most associate with BoC, imo. A good track too.

BoomTssPhace Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Telepath is still so fucking enigmatic to me, what are the voices talking about? "Let's play it back and see what it sounds like..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) Could do with a new album (just saying don't shoot me!) I guess they have been a little busy (a few top class remixes), Peel Session since that Radio Silence caper. I get to the point when I look at the few BOC albums and EP's on my shelf and slowly puff out a whistle of boredom, and just think I need some extra ingredient for the BOCauldron. That time has arrived. Edited November 11, 2019 by beer badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 this album should be the official soundtrack to the current world crisis. nothing captures the overall unsettled mood and paranoia we are all experiencing better than TH. listening to TH outside on a warm, bright, sunny day = a no go, but listening to it inside locked doors on a cold, cloudy day during a world-wide pandemic = perfect fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed.. Just sitting down home in the night and listen to this album while Im thinking of all the dead empty streets and closed bars and stores makes a perfect fit. Yes and sunny days for me is totally The Campfire Headphace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaaler9 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I've listened to this album more than any BOC album by a long shot. The highs aren't as high and the low's aren't as low as previous efforts, but the bleak.. sort of held back vibe works for me, quite a bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi Guys Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Palace Posy having this Minneapolis/St. Paul reference seems appropriate today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apriorion Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 God damn this album only becomes more and more prescient. In b4 the whole world catches up w/"reach for the dead" video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxien Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 the amount of attention to detail on this album is absolutely insane. masterwork in sound and mix and so forth. seriously. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t agree more, they really are next-level when it comes to this. You can tell how much they want this album to be absorbed as a whole. I’d say next to Geogaddi this is the album gets the most start-to-finish complete play throughs for me, personally. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
