They started working on a new album last summer, but geogaddi took about 4 years after MHTRTC so don't hold your breath ;)
I'd like an EP (like IABPITC) to tide me over till their next full length release.

they are going to take a more drastic change to stay afloat I think...
dont get me wrong, I love thier style... but while Geogaddi was different from MHTRTC, it was in a very subtle way... and alot of people took this as failure to progress...
I think they need to do something on the next album that kind of catches us off gaurd.... because while I love what they do... if they keep up with the same forumla... it could get old :-\

I like boc but I think they are too specific... like always around the same sound... its good and I love their releases, but it seems they are just interested in that particular sound.
mhtrtc is one of my fav all time releases

i read in an interview that they were working in a new sound, but because of fans pression they decide to release geogaddi keeping a similar mhtrtc style.
im sure their next release will be totally different, more "natural" sounds i think...

i would imagine that any new BoC will have clear threads tying it back to every other piece of music they've released... while still managing to break new ground, much like Geogaddi (which DID break new ground and sounds relatively distant from past releases)

if titsworth's site is to be believed, the next album will be all new material recorded after geogaddi, nothing recycled from the early to mid 90s
but i think the most definitive explanation was just provided by pOgO

yes... im not saying that thier current songs will get old... its just that, they cant keep doing the same thing...
its like the beatles... I wanna hold your hand was, is, and always will be a great song... but what if the beatles just kept writing songs in that style? it would have gotten old...
they progressed... kept their beatles sound... but expanded on it.... now there is even more music to love by them... and for different reasons.
make sense?

Talent is relative, you can't really boc are more talented than the beatles.
the way boc produce stuff is very different.
They are both incredibly talented in completely different ways.

Geogaddi is fuckin' dark in comparison, to every thing else they've done so it's understandable.

twoism is real nice... simple melodies and percussion, but real sweet! Geogaddi is great, I enjoy it more then MHTRTC... and ABPOITC is just amazing!!
I as well hope they change their style... I love their music, but I don't want them to keep repeating the same thing...

i used to watch the NFBOC nature documentaries from the 70s when i was a kid growing up in poland quite a lot, so that classic synth sound (which BOC call their 'secret weapon') is permanently engrained into my brain - i'm glad BOC carries the mantle of that sound into the new millennium, because it really does deserve to live on - i loved those nature documentary soundtracks!

ouch, i am so happy with geogaddi, i can still listen to it (well, not for the weeks straight that i did when it came out, anyway). i think it is more edgy than their previous releases, but i wouldn't mind them changing it up a bit. i've got faith, i'm sure anything they release will be great, and i can't wait.

I didn't mean it in an ouchy way. I really like Geogaddi too.. I just meant that it would have been really neat-o if, after release, they just dropped out and returned to their rural life.

Rue the Whirl is amazing.
I don't want to stir the olt tunes pot any more than necessary (apparently a lot of em may not be boc...) but 'Sir Prancelot Brainfire'/'Dave came to Mana'h'im(sp?)' (the one that sounds like the theme music to a 70s cartoon) is simply one of the best pieces of music i've ever heard .
Also Zoetrope... amazing stuff.

i dont think boc are capable of anything radically different from their current style...
the way i see it, mhtr2c was good, geog was more experimental, and a new release would be the same but even more experimental....at lease thats what im hoping for...
