I heard a rumour from a man who works at Southern, Warp's UK distributors, that the new B.O.C. album is taking so long bcuz they have got the fear that they can't repeat the genius of 'Music Has The Right...'.
This man said he'd heard that B.O.C., after much fucking about, had submitted an album to Warp which had been rejected due to it being sub-standard.
Anyone else heard anything about this? Or I am I spreading bullshit rumours? To be honest, I wouldn't have paid any notice, but after the disappointment of 'In A Beautiful Place In The Country', I dunno...

I agree with ABPITC was very average to be honest.Nothing great with that one at all, just ok with some cute moments..
I dont know about that new album being sub-standard rumours, but I dont totally doubt it.
As good as they are with that one album, I only judge true greatness with that ability to keep on coming with great stuff, and that's where they might(?) lack?Who knows, but thats where Aphex has been the leader in that respect next to Plaid , followed by Autechre and Squarepusher, IMO....

eh??
I thought ABPOITC was great! well 2 out of the 4 tracks anyway.
I liked about 50% of MHTRTC too, which is not bad going, as usually I find I only like 1 or 2 tracks on an album.
A superb album is one where I like half the tracks...
I guess it all boils down to this personal taste thing.

The only song I liked in a beautiful place out in the country is the title track. Kid for today wasn't bad though.
I've also heard a rumour that is NOT ever going to be a new Boc album, but i don't know if it's true...

They've signed a five album deal with Warp for a 'lot of money', so for their own sake I hope they can come up with at least one. I know this bcuz I used to hang round the Skam offices, and they told me . . .

boxrocket: Reflex is wrong, B.O.C. are from the UK, they come from Scotland (they are called Boards of Canada after National Film Boards of Canada, who used to make loads of wildlife films and mad cartoons that got shown in the UK). They kind of sound like the old interval music from between kids shows on UK TV between 1976-85, only with hip-hop/dub influences. Thats probably no use to you, but believe me they are ace.

I personally think that as a whole ABPOITC is a better album than MHTRTC...I think both of 'em are great though...ABPOITC is incredible...It fills my heart with wonderful feelings...They're homepage seems to have gone down...I think it has to do with them not approving of spending alot of time on computers...They'd rather people be outside than looking at their stuff on computers...I dunno...
