Just bought the "Somewhere Out In The Country" ep based on all the insane praise for it. What a huge dissapointment. Never heard such sterile, simple, amaturish, and REPTITIVE "idm" in my life. Sheeesh! Geogaddi is good, mind. Nice album (well, some of it.) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, there's no pleasing some people :) Personally I think it's a fantastic little ep. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
give it time.. you might start spotting things in it that you didnt on first listen. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
smoke some dope while listening...and you'll get the idea. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
surely you're not saying that the ONLY way to appreciate boc is under the influence? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I loooovvvve somewhere out in the country, Ive listened to it a lot last summer mmmhhhh good memories :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yup no pleasing some people. That says it exactly. I got a In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country just a few days ago as well, and even though I heard it back when it came out, I still love it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, i like mhtrtc either way, but for me iabpoitc sound a whole lot better if a have a smoke with it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and I wasnt always under influence ! wait... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

It should be Squarepusher or Venetian Snares what's the big deal? :] Anyway, yeah give the album time, though 'Kid For Today' is their best song IMO. I dunno, it's a nice album to relax to. |

ahahah thats some serious avatar morphing tolstoyed :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
REPTITIVE Oh, and, yes, music without snare rushes all over the place is boring. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd disagree with you on squarepusher. n my opinion he HAS produced some great tracks. i havent heard enough of snares to be convinced either way yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like slow ambient stuff too. But the constant boring beat against a constant repeated three chord phrase with the odd melody fragment once in a while just wears thin imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not only boring, but unintelligent. That is why he put "idm" in quotes. Clever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, I put it in quotes accidently. And I love the title track, it's haunting. I just hate the rest. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, it took me a while, but it wasn't for nothing...it turned out brilliant :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh please, I've seen your VSnares stash. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hahaha ! |

im not deriding or denying the pleasure derived from doing so. but ive met a lot of people who can only get into certain kinds of music when theyve taken one drug or another.. to me that indicates that either : they don't really appreciate/like the music itself or.. its not actually very good music - hence the ony way to endow it with any positive qualities is to get twisted. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't get it... liking ambient and hating this E.P.?? It's not strictly ambient I admit but it's so easy to chill out to I don't really see any huge difference. Me love this E.P. long time. |
||||||||
|
|

You got me there. |

mmmm.. its like verbal chess |

I don't like venetian snares at all though. I just have a load of his albums as mp3. The reason for this is simple: I am a twat |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

i agree on that completly! amo bishop roden is one of my favourite boc tunes. i enjoyed it a lot when i got it, but when i listened to it when being stoned the whole thing sounded even way better. there's quite some music out there that sounds better under influence, iabpoitc is just one of the best examples for this. i lost a little interest in boc lately, but when i get stoned it's still one of favourite things to play. |

for the morphing... damn I feel like all these threads are perfect nonsense thats scary, Im out for some photography :p |

for me, when you put boc on - its just there (if that makes ense?) it doesnt demand your attention. you dont have to actively listen to it the way you do with some other music. it sort of crashes against your conciousness like waves on rocks (hahaha sounds like im trying to be poetic) & suddenly you realise its there & that youre hearing something in the track you never noticed before. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

By ambient, I mean soundscapes like Steve Roach's stuff or Amber style ambient. I just don't see the appeal of this bar the haunting title track, and the first one is okay (but I loose interest half way through.) If they removed the simple beats and concerntrated on adding some more melodies over the repeated chords and some interesting atmospheric sounds or whatever, I'd probably like it more. |

"& suddenly you realise its there & that youre hearing something in the track you never noticed before. " looks to me you get high without actually getting high :) glass_eater - im glad i amuse you. |

BoC has sex with each other. this is confirmed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I need to get this ep in ce soon I am tired of the mp3 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's great when i'm high. but it is my least favorite BoC release. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is that confirmed? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, the answer is simple write some better music, become as famous as BoC, and show us bitchezs how its done. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

excellent answer Zeus. I love the EP, its percfetc imo. All I would give all the tracks a 4 out of 5 the tracks. All of them tracks have a purpose. I cant understand why anyone could hate this EP, everyone I played it to like it, even those who hate this type of music. Repetitive???? well, thats the purpose, I dont want to chill to snares, u know. |

>"no pleasing some people" What, so it's his fault he doesn't like it? huh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd say listen to it through headphones before you finally give up on it. I personally think it's a golden nugget. But it's a matter of taste. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

I can understand why people may like it. Note-can people stop with the Squarepusher and VSnares comments? Just because I don't like one boring (imo) chillout cd doesn't mean all I listen to is crazy drill n bass. I like a lot of ambient stuff too. As for Zeus' comment-firsltly I can say I find something reptetitive and boring WITHOUT being able to make something better, it's an opinion, and secondly, I think plenty of the stuff I've heard people here do is more interesting then that EP. |

what is "somewhere out in the ountry" ? i have "in a beautiful place out in the country" wtf is this "somewhere" ep ???? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's an ep they released in '87. it isn't that good. not really. |
||||||||
|
|

i agree with CS2X. i loved MHTRTC, i mean freakin' loved it. i was hugely and still am disappointed with the 'beatufiul place..' ep. to me it represents a huge step backwards in terms of rythymic and melodic complexity. i thought they had lost it after this ep and was quite nervous about the quality that 'geogaddi' would be. to my elated joy that nervousness was all unfounded. 'geogaddi' is one of my top five favorite albums of all time. the production and programming shames 'mhtrtc'. these boys have mad skills. i like to think that 'in a beautifull place...' was just meant to be a holdover for the fans while the album was being completed. almost like a prerelease b-side ep. |

iabpoitc is my fave boc release...even when sober |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I allso quite enjoy boc, but it is so dream like that i feel that i have to listen to it when i'm totally wasted, then i could find the next "dimension" in theyr music. I have to say that i really enjoy 'iabpoitc' allso some 'geogaddi' tracks, but some of those tracks are just freaky, but still i like those. I should give it a extra listen. |
