Whilst in your sleep I am sure you can write stuff as good
as anyone, however in the cold light of day you more than
likely couldn't. I would be more than happy for you to
prove me wrong. Post a track in the style of BoC and I will
listen and give an honest opinion.

about BOC - "music has..." is good good album , but
"geoddadi" and "twois " were released almost one after
another - when i was listening these ones i thought that i
know these sounds , i know what they will do with rhythm ,
and i was wondering why they are using still the same
sequencers...its good to have specific sound which will be
known by everyone , but its no good to make all the same...
BOC i rather like from before , than from now
but this is strictly personal , i think

Twoism was released in 1996, Geogaddi in 2002 (ish)

the re-release, i believe is what he's refering to.

Points: 7021 Status: Addict



yeah , re-release , but i've seen these album in the same
time in shop so i though that they are similar when it comes
to date of release
anywa - the albums sounds the same to mee - i wouldnt say
that you san see they way of music from twoism and geodaddi
- maybe except some tracks

I think Twoism is a real piece of shit, but I like
everything else.

Apart from Geogaddi.

I am a big big fan of MHTRTC, I love everything about the
album from beginning to end. Their other stuff is good too,
but MHTRTC is one of my all time top 5.

the last thing i would call BoC's material is UNINSPIRED.
fucking britney spears and lil bow wow is uninspired
worthless shit, not BoC.

What you need to realize is that the problem lies not in
BoC's music, it lies in your ability to appreciate it and
experience it in a certain way, without judging it,
measuring it with some other track, trying to give it a
score out of 10.
Each track is a different angle of the same object, when you
start putting them together is when you'll be overcome with
a rush of euphoria, when you can let the music take you
away, lead you into another room inside your mind, another
mood maybe, maybe more tha that. when you can let the aural
sensation wash over your mind and slowly sink in becoming
more and more in the moment, more aware, you can't help but
forget every grudge, every mistake or problem, all you can
do is think to yourself in awe how beautiful and complex the
human mind can be to produce something like this......

Points: 16065 Status: Regular



they arent uninspired! how can you say that

almost all their tracks last really long.. ok i admit they
always use the same percussion.. but the songs on Geogaddi
for example are so.. deep.. theres so much detail to them..

...just my 2 cents

Points: 11512 Status: Lurker



I don't rate BoC very high personally, but I love IABPOITC
and Geogaddi. I agree with JAroen that the tracks on
Geogaddi are very detailed... but the thing I like most are
the shorter tracks like Opening the Mouth and In The Annexe.
I don't what it's in it, but whatever it is the tracks on
the album are overflowing with it.

However I cannot stand Alpha and Omega.

I think boc are some of the most talented guys in this scene
at the present time, i love the fact that they are really
understated and they don't the need to show off.

The music they write is some of the most thought provoking
music i have ever heard and probably the most beautiful.

There you go i said it!

uninspired? boring? thats a great opinion you have
there...

theres nothing wrong with not liking the music but to
complete dis it by saying you can do better in your
sleep...that's just ignorant. just because you down loaded
some songs by them doesn't mean 'oh now they can be accepted
as being popular cuz i have a song!'. when you put
something down, don't use things about urself to back up
your point. thats being an arrogant idiot.
