Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-12-22 04:57 [#00063435]



i just downloaded to a whole bunch of songs by them. i
found their music to be very dull and boring. their music
is really lacking something.
the music is very simple, but not simple in a good way. i
don't know, but they don't really appeal to me.
i don't know what the dilly is with them on this board but i
find them to be very boring.


 

Frothbottom from New York on 2001-12-22 04:59 [#00063436]



no way man, its not boring at all. buy "music has the right
to children"... it's has a really original feel to it (in a
good way)


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-12-22 05:00 [#00063437]



Boards of Canada are awesome... Music has the Right is
brilliant, and A Beautiful Place in the Country is
amazing...


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-12-22 05:02 [#00063438]



but I guess different people have different tastes...


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-12-22 05:02 [#00063439]



i am going to keep the song "the color of fire" because it
is very twisted and made me shiver.


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-12-22 05:04 [#00063440]



i downloaded some songs from music has a right to children
and i found them dull and uninspiring. sorry, they are far
too mellow for me. i dont really see how yall like them.


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-12-22 05:05 [#00063441]



yeah, for some reason I always picture a stalker looking at
his stalkee from behind bushes when I listen to that song...
very errie indeed...


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-12-22 05:06 [#00063442]



oh yeah, i am downloading some autechre to see why yall like
it. i downloaded it before and didnt like it, but maybe i
will like it now.


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-12-22 05:06 [#00063443]



just give em some time man... let em grow on ya... I thought
the album was ok when I first listened to it, mainly from
the strength of certain songs like Roygbiv, Aquarius, and
Pete Standing Alone, but everything else grew on me, and I
love it all...


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-12-22 05:06 [#00063444]



and on a side note, where do i download soulseek from?


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-12-22 05:07 [#00063445]



well apparently Soulseek isn't working anymore cause it's
down or something...


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-12-22 05:09 [#00063447]



nevermind that, it's working... just search for soulseek in
a search engine, and see where it leads ya...


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-12-22 05:09 [#00063448]



damn, because everyone says thats the place to get aphex
twin from, morpheus and winmx aint got shit for aphex twin


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-12-22 05:09 [#00063449]



i searched for soulseek in yahoo, metacrawler and altavista
and turned up nothing.


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-12-22 05:11 [#00063450]



use Google... I just tried, and it was like the first
thing...


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-12-22 05:14 [#00063453]



thanks!


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-12-22 05:34 [#00063455]



keeping hell interface because it is so retarded that it
makes me laugh.


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2001-12-22 05:36 [#00063456]



Soulseek works?

YIPEE!!!!!


 

Taxi on 2001-12-22 05:41 [#00063458]



BoC ain't boring. A bit repetetive, but the content more
than makes up for that.


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-12-22 05:42 [#00063459]



the content really leaves something to be desired!


 

wayout from a plastic bubble on 2001-12-22 05:44 [#00063460]



i can understand why boc might bore some people..they get
boring to me sometimes...i guess you have to be in the right
mood/mindset to enjoy them..
surroundings play a factor as well i think..
their music doesnt really fit with being in a big city...but
its perfect if your in a nice rural area..weird..

oh maann...i kid from school has my mhtrtc cd...which sucks
because i dont go back to school for a month! :(



 

Dave_K from Canada on 2001-12-22 05:55 [#00063462]



Man i like them, who cares if there too simple there shit is
good.


 

Xanatos from NYC on 2001-12-22 06:39 [#00063474]



you are listening to the wrong BoC songs.

Listen to:

Roygbiv,
Pete Standing Alone
An Eagle in Your Mind

There's tons more but listen to those 3 from beginning to
end, if you don't like them, then we have totally different
tastes...


 

Xanatos from NYC on 2001-12-22 06:40 [#00063475]



and I can't give you any advice in terms of what to listen
to or not


 

Intruder from chicago on 2001-12-22 08:43 [#00063487]



GOD DAMN IT!
BOC rox yer sox. stop frontin' like you dont like them n'
shit. ahem, yo.


 

Korben Dallas from www.mp3.com/polcXd on 2001-12-22 09:57 [#00063498]



Music Has The Right ... I reckon is a bit of an album
album.

Don't know why people single out songs. IMO a nice album ..
but BoC seems a little over-rated I think. Maybe not tho? -
there's a lot of subtle stuff present, one appreciates yet
sounds simple BUT is pretty difficult to do when actually
making the music. ?

Autechre is more my cup of tea


 

Loogie from UK on 2001-12-22 12:58 [#00063514]



I love BOC and but find Autechre rather disppointing.

But I guess it's fair that an equal number of people will
love Autechre and not really like BOC.

Try downloading BOC - Live @ ATP

One thing that puzzles me: A lot of people out tthere have
very rare Aphex and Autechre tracks, but no one seems to
have rare BOC :(


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-12-22 15:38 [#00063539]



Autechre, mostly the later stuff that I've heard, sounds
very sterile to me... I like Amber, and Incunabula, but the
other stuff doesn't really float my boat... yet... Boards of
Canada sounds really unelectronic, and it's very cool...


 

Frothbottom from New York on 2001-12-22 17:04 [#00063561]



telepathy workshop... although it's a bit repetative, I
still love it. all boc has a very psychadelic element to it.


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-12-22 17:07 [#00063562]



yeah Telephasic Workshop is super repetative, but it has
such a cool groove that I can't get enough of it...


 

Frothbottom from New York on 2001-12-22 17:11 [#00063563]



right, Telephasic.


 

Korben Dallas from www.mp3.com/polcxd on 2001-12-22 23:30 [#00063616]



True, Ae have there somewhat sterile moments, but on the
whole i find it more engaging than BoC - (which I like,
don't get me wrong) ..

BoC rare stuff is REALLy rare - the other stuff just
requires a keen eye and frequent visits to record stores???
Altho I am yet to get my hands on HAB and Keynell :)

What do you guys think of Beautiful place in the Country??
Again - nice, BUT



 

Xanatos from NYC on 2001-12-23 01:47 [#00063639]



Rare BoC Stuff isn't like HAB where anyone who wants can get
the mp3's on audiogalaxy. Rare BoC stuff is impossible to
find anywhere

A lot of people would pay a lot of money for just the mp3's
of BoC's:
Hooper Bay
Acid Memories
Catalogue 3

I find Ae totally unemotional unlike BoC, which has these
organic warm synths which hardly anyone else is able to
create. I know my synth doesn't do it...


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-12-23 05:27 [#00063675]



yeah that's how I feel about BoC... they make electronic
music sound organic... it's the same with Aphex Twin... and
I guess that's partly why I love them so... Autechre,
although it's pretty good, is so precise and mechanical...


 

corn grower from Iowa on 2001-12-23 07:22 [#00063690]



Ive been a big fan of boc ever since a buddy at work first
let me borrow mhtrtc. there music just seems to weeve
through your mind, and i love their great use of melodies.

Some of my favorite songs are telephastic workshop, hi
scores, roygbiv, eagle in your mind, turquois hexagon sun,
beautiful place in the country, olson ,
eno test, and everything you do is a balloon

I like iabpoitc better than mhtrtc.
Where can you get Hi-Scores?


 

balthus from europe on 2001-12-23 13:20 [#00063729]



i like music has the right to children but i love in a
beautiful place out in the country. it's as good as aphex.
