[translated from japanese via babelfish, with some edits to make things more readable...]
By now, it has been three years since the last time, and what we've seen is an intriguing live band feel to their trademark sounds on Geogaddi. It seems clearly aimed at least, they're sticking with the musical world they come from. The first thing that drives Headphase is that it's not so close to music in the music sense. It seems Marcus and Sandison toiled away in what makes up the essence of The Campfire Headphase in a dream.
This album has a disorienting cast, which puts it apart from the rest of the music scene. It seems like it might venture into possible new territory, and keeps a safe speculation that something frightening might be drowning there.
Some of 'Into the Rainbow Vein' is droning warbles, but the debut excites in the most anticipated details, whose sampled voices are ideal.
'A Moment of Clarity' highlights the duo's incredible machinery. I compared with strained memory, the lonely, isolated and slightly gloomy vision of the early EPs. Granted, Geogaddi had the lighthearted warmth of a multi-layered childhood illusion.
Another song, 'Sherbert Head', is one of a monolog given by the surface of the moon, and carrying great weight with distinctive percussion.
'Slow This Bird Down' has menacing swells of paranoia, and listeners of their analog synths are saturated with feedback.
There's no doubting the rhythm of Campfire, this album has a very accomplished pace, the concept is more experienced and repeated. Boards have replaced silence with great music.

so this is like writing a pitchfork-like review in Japanese, heavily laden with all kinds of metaphors and then letting babelfish turn it into something completely different..?

The first track instantly lured me into it's childlike childhood childish nostalgic bocish nostalgia, and it really reminded me of being a child once again.

There are gonna be lots of gay internet reviews like:
"BOC return with an album of pastoral melodies and crunchy beats...we assume."

Warp should release an official fake, I think that would be awesome publicity.

Wow babelfish actually did a fairly legible job of translating it. Mostly when I use it to translate Japanese text it is a disaster.
