MHTRTC vs Geogaddi

Now, I know I should take some of my own medicine and not
compare these 2 albums, but its only recently i've got into
the boards.

I got geogaddi first without hearing anything and REALLY got
into the album and I love it, how everytime you listen to it
you spot another sound, and then it takes another few
listens to work out what it is!

Anyway, I got MHTRTC about 4 weeks ago and its been exam
time, so i've been doing some heavy music listening. Now, I
was already into the album before all the exess listening to
i've found that MHTRTC has been getting put into my cd
player FAR more than geogaddi. I've been going to bed
listening to MHTRTC on headphones and only as far as I can
remember played geogaddi once.

I thought this may be interesting since i've been one of the
few people to listen to them backwards so to speak, so i've
been lessed biased in my opinions to the new stuff, but I
really think geogaddi is not as good.

i like mhtcr better, mainly 'cause of aquarius, which is my
fav boc track. geogaddi is a bit boring imo

i agree heartily. geogaddi is still a great album. i don't
really know why though MHTRTC is better. i suppose it has
more 'hits' on i.e. it has aquarius, roygbiv, telephasic
workshop and eagle of the mind (or whatever).

i don't think thats it though. i like the whole album
more...dunno

Points: 3167 Status: Lurker



Yeah, I would have to say MHTRTC is a little bit better. I
mean I don't think there's a song on their I don't like.

Then again Geogaddi is really good too, 1969, Dawn Chorus,
and You Could Feel the Sky are real gems.

brilliant

mhtrtc is way better imo. it contains a lot more "stronger"
tracks.

to me, geogaddi has a more constant feeling and atmosphere
to it. It creeps me the fuck out but its beautiful at the
same time.

I dont have this with MHTRTC but i love that album too,
especially because of roygbiv and aquarius.


 

offline Taoist Blockade from Wales on 2002-06-22 21:28 [#00280657]
Points: 1169 Status: Lurker



for me its
An Eagle in your mind, Sixtyten, roygbiv, rue the whirl,
aquarius, pete standing alone, smokes quantity and happy
cycling VS. Music is math, 1969, the beach at redpoint,
gyroscope, and dawn chorus.

I wouldnt say the tracks are better on one or the other, but
there are a lot more of the good ones on mhtrtc.

I totally agree, Geogaddi seems to hold me in throughout the
entire album, and flows really well track to track

I don't know which is better, but I definetly listen to
Geogaddi alot more

i still need buy geogaddi, i have yet to do so because I
want the special edition one but its hard to find and more
expensive.

it's not much better either, just a little more of the
artwork which isn't really anything special, the music is
what's special

Music Has the Right to Children kicks Geogaddi's ass. Not to
say Geogaddi isn't great, but I frankly think MHTRTC is
their peak, they won't top it ever.

um, maybe its just me, but most BoC I find just boring, not
very interesting. Although I prolly havent listened enough
to them. I mean, I like some of their pieces. And their
little melodies or whatever (like Beautiful house in
country, and roygboiv). But any further than the idea that
the music is just mellow, kind of atmosphereic texture and
feeling, I can't really draw myself to be stimulated very
much. But perhaps I havent given them a proper chance.

I enjoy Ae much better. Although it can be much of the same
idea. Although I have to admit, their latest album release
does test one's tolerance and patience in appreciating the
"musical" nature of it. Which I do feel exists quite
strongly. But is not doubt challenging. I dont know that
I understand exactly that type of music yet. If you can
call it that. Confield that is.

Geogaddi is amazing, MHTRTC is amazinger... just by a little
bit I guess... I love both, and sometimes I want one while
other times I want th other, but overall I must give the
edge to MHTRTC... there's just something about it!!!

If you read the new Grooves,
BoC talk about how when making Geo they were trying to sound
like they did before MHTRTC, and it does, it's very raw and
super subliminal, but if you listen to ABPOITC, it totally
is a progression from
MHTRTC.

and as for BoC being boring,
you're not listening hard enough!

ben, you just named two of my favorite tracks from mhtrtc!
kryocera, you're probably listening too hard. much of boc's
appeal is on the subconscious level.

I love Sixtyten. When that beat drops in, it's the best.

yeah, Sixtyten is great... I used to think it was BoC's
worst song for ages, but I like it a lot now... just took me
a while to get into... The Colour of Fire is cool... I get
this weird image of a stalker looking through some bushes at
the kid he's stalking when I hear this song...

guess I just need my ziggomatic to keep my mind stimulated
sometimes.

yeah I know what you mean, its just those are the only two
tracks I got on mp3, and I had them for ages and listened to
them loads. I think I just overdid it

U know, not that my opinion matters to anyone...MHTRTC and
Geogaddi are unique in different ways...Music was the first
Boc album i bought, but the E.P. A beuatiful place out in
the country is what hooked me...i know it just has
variations on the songs Olson and stuff, but that's what
really got me into BOC.

One thing i dislike about their music is sometimes its too
short, i end up looping it in my editor and then reburning
the tracks so they last longer...and then there are those
tracks that u have to skip, like that Volcano thing on
geogaddi, i hate that thing.

All in all BOC rules, and to each album there are up's and
downs, and different styles. I'm soooooooo sick of seeing
this debate up here. I like both, i like geogaddi better
than MHTRTC, cuz the songs are a bit longer...but i like
MHTRTC cuz the songs make logical sense and have a different
flow from eachother

MHTRTC is a VERY special album. A proper "desert island
disk".
Geogaddi is merely very good.

they're 2 different albums...

geogaddi is totally unconventional music.

and music has the right to children is something more
'normal'.

I like both. mut i enjoy MHTRTC more

What? ABPOITC is just variations on Olsen and stuff? Where
do you get this? ABPOITC is nothing like MHTRTC imo...
