nah, I just think that after MHTRTC and ABPOITC there were a lot of rumors about that, and with Geogaddi they just played with the rumors a bit... I don't believe they are serious with all this 666, Satanic cult stuff...

yeah...
but i still get this feeling of pure evil when i listen to geogaddi
the red hexagonal cover... the 666, and all that junk...alls i can think of is "this is the devils music"
but mhtrtc is more laid back and stuff. there are some unsettling parts ( like "iiiiiiii looooove youuuuuuuu")
but they keep sucking me in
i listen to all of thier cds at least once a day
they are my favorite IDM

10.
BoC are, in my opinion, making the best music currently being released and produced. cohesive, emotional, interesting, subtle, artistic, quality music. every time I hear a new track I like them more. no exaggeration. I've yet to be disappointed them (though the very first time I heard them, I hated them!)

geogaddi is only 66:06 long cause they added magic window at the end... (a nice feature on the vinyl release... with the wicked blank picture side... but really kind of frivolous, albeit not worth criticizing, on the cd release)....
as for the tracks on in a beautiful place out in the country:
the first one is a damn wicked slow burner... it has this really epic, post-rock kind of feel, it build really slowly, but i couldn't imagine making it any shorter... if they didn't start out as well as this the release wouldn't be nearly as good...
i'd give it a 9.5 -as for track 2: another nice long and drawn-out one... but now that i think about it... every track on this ep is slow and deliberate... very pastoral (as BoC is so often referred to as), atmospheric stuff... this track is not as good as the first one but it's still quite beautiful... possibly an 8 or an 8.5...
track 3: i always hear track one and think, "damn this is one of BoC's best", but by the time i've gotten to the title track, i can barely remember what has passed before it, as it's all swept up in the tide of the lovely melody which haunts this track... what is it about BoC being able to write four note melodies and keep me hanging on for upwards of seven minutes?! everything is perfect about this track: the creepy looping sample of the laughing child, the steady minimal hip hop beat which flows in and out of the mix, and the odd vocoder vocals... the track evokes this odd singular memory, or emotion... like a skipping record player playing over a single loop while the hero lies shot dead in the bottom of the screen or something... it's completely whole, singular, and beautiful... and if you're like me, and allow all the waco/branch davidian references into the mix (why not?)... it just really haunts the fuck out of you... isn't it great when the title track is bang on?! when it sums up the helix formed by the various sinews of emotion running through a piece of music?! an easy 10
track 4: why is this here? i can't think of any o

Zoetrope is way too long. Should have just been an interlude, but not on IABPOITC.

Kid for Today- ***** Amo Bishop Roden- ***** In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country- **** Zoetrope- ***1/2 (a little on the long side, but really pretty and Final Fantasy-ish)
Overall- ****1/2 - a definite 5 if it was an LP that kept up this kind of wickedness.

boc is the only idm that is consistently interesting to me. in fact, i can't think of a single song by them that i dislike.
as for people who say they keep doing the same things with every release, well, i disagree, but even if that were so, who cares if its this gorgeous?

it's really good but it's my least favorite of their releases. i generally appreciate the minimal nature of their stuff but this e.p always seems a bit under-produced to me.
