MHTRTC...

Where is the furthest you've been from scotland mc 303
beatz? and..... which is your favourite place?

Exactly I think its their best release but various people
were saying 'Seeya Later' was mediocre. And I was like
thinking no fucking way. The whole EP is quality track after
track. I don't think I've ever heard a record or EP where
every track is as good as the last. It rates in my all time
top 10 easily, could even be number 1 or 2 possibly.

Then I read some stinking post on Amazon calling BOC
ambient. I was like fucking BOC ain't ambient, goddam!
Goddam ambient thats fucking whales and shit not BOC!

Write on Amazon, Don't complain, it falls on deaf ears.
Write what you mean for proplr to see or....shut up!

Who hates Hi Scores? Not I. I think they're one of the most
consistent artists around, there's not one BOC track that I
don't enjoy. Except maybe Basefree.

Turquoise Hexagon Sun and Everything You Do is a Balloon are
two of their best, so a nice percentage of the EP is
classic.

Stop yer bellyachin'.

I don't hate it. But I don't think it is the best. I find it

I just listened to it for the first time.

I hated it apart from Turquoise Hexagon Sun (although I
really liked the beginning of Everything You Do is a
Balloon.)

It's just too corny for me. I can understand how people
would like it for its nostalgic undertones but for me there
is no undertone, just empty sounding cheese.

..And nlogax sounded like Daft Punk! What the hell!?

maybe

Yeah that's what I meant.

The only releases I like by Boards of Canada are Geogaddi
and IABPOITC.. I don't like anything else by them at all.

i can't say i don't like it, because i don't have it,
but i don't have it, because i don't like boards of canada.

so...
