I own MHTRTC and have listened to it a couple of times. To me most tracks sound too similar. Am I missing something? They seem to be mentioned a lot here and I'm not that into them. Do I need to give them more of a chance? |
||||||||

They are lovely and warm...they infect your brain and overload your senses, they make the beauty of nature stand out...they are everything and yet nothing at the same time...a catalyst for nostalgia...they are...quite simply...awesome. |
||||||||
|

they work fine when stoned, appart from that it's pretty average... |

He said sell BoC not promote the use of illegal substances...I worry about you toadstool. |
||||||||
|
|

|

listen to it some more. |
||||||||
|
|

im sorry. :( |
||||||||

partially - they use similar moog's and synth sound, which for some is like they original known sound you could reckognize , for some ppl ( like me ) its quite boring to hear all the same synth sounds....well, maybe not exactly the same, but very very similar. but they are quite cool, yeah. |

hey u dont need to sell me ganj. so u dont think its a bit samey then people? |
||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ofcourse it's samey. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's part of the charm...I don't think it is really active listening material...as in you want to listen to music so you listen to MHTRTC, it is more like ambient music for when you want to chill or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
most stuff that you can't get into sounds the same. |

my gf lent geogaddi to a friend of hers at work who soon returned it saying it was horrible, frightening,and like women being raped. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's a bit harsh. I mean, I think it's a pretty weak release, but.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
music can sound like women being raped?? lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If I would have found out a lush and unique sound like that I wouldn't change it either. At that, I'm very happy that they think the same way. |
||||||||

Good job RDJ et al didn't have that attitude though. |

a) you don't have a girlfriend b) if you did she probably wouldn't have any friends c) if you did and she had a friend they wouldn't refer Geogaddi being like women being raped because it's just about 80% boring and shit...and everyone knows rape is fun. |

some people would criticize bob marley for putting out a reggae record. others would be amazed that he's still recording. people are always looking to justify their likes and dislikes. if you like it, it won't sound samey; it's just more of what you like. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Its all about the nostalgia... Their music is more about texture than rhythm or melody. Just listen to the old degraded kinda sound they have, it will get under your skin :) |

a) i do (sigh) b) probably what she thinks c) well her "friend" did. not one of your "better" posts ecnadniarb, surely you went for a piss and your 4 year old brother took over . say hi to him from me and dont eat all his sweets you fat bastard!! |

Hmmm, i might get some flack for this but i think that geogaddi is the best electronica album out there. To some people it may sound boring but this is my point, i listened to geogaddi at least once a day for about 7 months and every time it never got boring and it still hasn't. Oh and go to the shop and buy some of the records and LISTEN to them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And i think also think they are actually alot more talented than most electronica artists as they can play instrements as well. |
||||||||
|

boc are good I ve got 6 cds by them (the two albums and the 4 eps that are normally available) everything they do sounds nice... but its also very much the same everytime they are good, but they need to evolve a little in what they do |
||||||||
|
|

What is wrong with just writing good music? Four tet's sound hasn't changed that much over his three albums i actually finding hearing album of all good stuff alot better than say, a dsp wankfest which is what everybody seems to dig now. |

"selling" BoC: Boards of Canada to me is all about unrivaled, unearthly and deeply emotional sounds and melodies which deservedly earned them their very own little niche in electronical musicland because there's simply nothing else like it.Granted, there are quite a few tracks that aren't that great at all (mostly the shorts imo), but when every release has at least 3 or 4 huge instant classics, like their releases have, the not so great tracks are easily forgiven and you'll come to understand they deserve all of the attention and respect and then some. Let's face it, RDJ also released a large number of awful tracks, but he's still deservedly respected because inbetween all that foulness are some downright gems and perfect releases, and for exactly those pieces he is loved and remembered. I agree he's bigger than BoC, because he redefined the ambient genre and brought new styles and techniques that spawned a large number of copycats. He has his own unique soundcore and style that makes for instant recognition, just like BoC has theirs, which, unlike popular thought, is anything but an easy feat to achieve. Alot of people on this board decry repetition and demand change, nothing wrong with that. However, I for one also like to linger in certain forms of repetition,i.e. the kind that BoC offers, because when there is a quality repeating melody that's being expanded upon by additional sounds that add perfectly to the melody, it allows for one's mind to really submerge into the song's atmosphere, to settle into the particular mood of the song and stay there for a while. It's not like they just make a simple loop,throw in a beat, repeat it for 7 minutes without adding anything to it and call it a day, though sadly some people do indeed seem to think that's all there is to BoC. So if, on the other hand, you're a sworn lover of experimental technical marvels and other types of wanton jibberish, it is most likely you'll not find anything of interest in their music. It's a take it or leave it p |

..ackage. |

I'd like to fully endorse what X-tomatic just said. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, the bit before he said "ackage", mainly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they dont have to change... but they can evolve with their sound... what they do is good, but too mmuch the same... any ot their tracks could be in any of their releases.... I think they should investigate a little on how to manage those incredibly warm textures with other sources |

He was finishing up a sentence though... Unlike me. |

BOC rock. Can see what you mean 'bout them sound samey but really kep listening. Get Music Has The Right To Children and/or Geogaddi. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BOC for me is half nostagia of my childhood, half vaguely-spacy idm stuff that's accessible for all. Is it repetitive ? Yes. So is lotsa music anyway. Hope it gets into your feelings like it does for me, that's all I can say ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
they have a strange timeless quality i highly recommend listening on headphones when out on a country walk, their music doesn't make much sense at a computer or if you're sitting in your room. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
incidentally has anyone seen the BBC cartoon monkey dust? they use a lot of BOC and it works really well, although they use it to soundtrack urban decay rather than rural scenes, it really brings out the eerieness and despair tho |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i liek BoC - Geoggaddi (after not for threes) was one of my first idm type pruchases - it will always have warm special place in my pants! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
evolve? listen to MHTRTC and the listen to geogaddi. It's totally different imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think it all sounds the same on mhtrtc at all. then again i'm a hug BoC fan. i find that they're one of those groups that some people just 'get' and some people just 'don't get'. i don't know why. some people just have an appreciation for what they do i guess.. |
