Some of the samples Hainbach demonstrates sound relatively close to those one-shot warbling hits in the track. they specifically say 'effect unit' in that interview tho, which i would think suggest one of the drop out sounds at the ends of some of the phrases (1:03, 1:24, 1:25, 1:43, 1:54, 1:55,3:07, 3:10) is more likely. a lot of those sound like they could be the sound of firing some old effects unit up or killing it in the middle of a sound or something, yknow? (sounds out of that Powerhouse are hella tasty tho no doubt about that) Edited October 2, 2023 by auxien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auxien Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 first chord is i believe exactly the same as Cold Earth. very, very similar tonality as well. song sucks tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) It is a brilliant and cohesive album. I just don't get Jacquard Causeway at all. It just sticks out like a sore thumb to me. Maybe if it wasn't the longest track it would be different? I don't know. 20 years later and I still am meh about it but the rest is perfection. edit: I clearly just summoned a new BoC Instagram post. Imminence is imminent.

Very agree with you there - its grating/jarring percussion-wise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) I agree it's a strange track. I remember quite vividly when it came on the live stream, the fact I remember myself reacting to it (having a knee jerk reaction, ears pricking up and thinking hmmm what's this all about) all these years later probably says a lot. I do remember then, and still now feeling relief when the cooling synth whooshes come in during the second half. Yeah weird tune, but I like it.

phudoshin Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 (edited) ae's Oversteps "known(1)" kinda gives me the same cold feels - this time the melody is a bit jarring ! Edited February 14 by phudoshin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YELLOW Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I personally love Jacquard. I remember the first live stream, it kinda lulled me to sleep a bit (in a good way) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi Guys Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I agree with this so much. The song is devastating. On 2/16/2024 at 3:30 AM, Kennylogg Bubblebath said: jacquard = top 5 boc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewSchoolScience Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) I love BoC more than life itself, but I'm not a fan of Jacquard. The slightly out of sync, discordant goings on are so disorienting. Listening to it almost makes me feel sea sick. But it's meant to, innit. Actually... just realised, I fucking love it!

I didn’t like it in the beginning as well but the drum is kind of trance inducing pushing the boc trademark sound into your brain in such an intense way that it’s almost overwhelming like eating a really large candy bar. Once you commit to that the track becomes really awesome it’s also important to listen on really good speakers so none of the crispy smoky sound of that drum gets lost Edited February 22 by o00o 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbass Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Jacquard is beautiful Paired with New Seeds and Come to Dust some of the best from ToH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Key Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I agree its one of my favorites on TH, after the first few opening tracks that are sort of subtle slow burners and quite tense and unresolved- its the first track to really feel like a new direction and give you that floaty emotional release they do so well.

milkface Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Jacquard is a really good track but my favourite one on TH has to be Nothing is Real. Sounds like jumping into the sea on a sunny day 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Ostanek Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 All this time I've never managed to get into it, I find it staggeringly depressing, which isn't surprising based on the (inferred) subject matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxien Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Jacquard stands out a bit, sure, but not in a bad way imo. that 'standing out' of it lends itself towards the pseudo-soundtrack concept of the album...you're going to have pieces in many soundtracks that feel entirely apt when watching the film for that scene, but don't necessarily 'vibe' with the overall score. there's plenty of soundtrack-y ideas throughout the album in other ways but that's probably the most stark full song difference. it is the longest track on the album tho so maybe i'm coming at it from the wrong direction, idk... mixing/mastering of this album is so fucking good, it's weirdly raw at times. i really wonder about their balance of being insanely meticulous vs just running with things and trusting their guts when it comes to recording/mixing/etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
