with all this expectation for the upcoming album, I have been listening to my boc albums all week... I dont have much really (mhtrtc, peel session, twoism, hi scores, iabpoitc, geogaddi) I dont even have the mp3s of the boc maxima or the old tunes and all that stuff... so I have just listened to the "mainstream" stuff well, the thing is that listening to all my boc, I am enjoying it more than I used to I have always liked boc, and actually mhtrtc was my first idm record back in 1998 (at that time I never found out about all the idm world apart from this album) but ever since I got to know ae, afx and all the rest, boc was always in last place for me... like less things happenned in a boc record than in an aphex one. (just an example) well... this last week, listening to all my boc, I am enjoying a lot... its great msic to listen too... its like "music with oxigen"... so... well you know I was going to describe their music as it has been described thousands of times... probably the point is that I finally found their point. well, so now I like boc lot... or at least at this moment. and you? |

No. I just get bored listening to them. I like Aquarius and I think that's about it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because i've remembered memories that i had once otherwise forgotten while listening to their tunes? good stuff. and im glad they don't talk much and im glad i dont really know what they look like |
||||||||

|
|
No. ....No. |
||||||||
|

I dont listen to them all too much but when i do its always nice. I enjoy the themes that seem to exsist behind the music. Geogaddi and MHTRTC are good albums. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yes, I like BOC, and I have NO idea why except for that I like them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes. Yes.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i listen to maxima and a few old tunes 1 & 2 mostly\ for now |
||||||||
|
|

|
it all went downhill after Music Has The Right Etc. before that, it's good. |
||||||||

I thought Children was nice when it came out. The Beautiful Country EP made me take them seriously. Geogaddi put them in my top 5. With this release they have come full circle. |
||||||||

MHTRTC = GOOD GEOGADDI = PISS CAMPFIRE HEADPHASE = WHO CARES? |

as i said on woofer's topic, it's "bubblegum music" for me. it's nice, sweet, enjoyable, but not really groundbreaking and the taste wears away after some time (less than an album's duration for me - not even by repeating listens, just like half an hour and i already feel like i'm chewing on the same limp tasteless thing which i might as well spit out.) i do enjoy it from time to time, but i could very well live without. |
||||||||
|

|
|
*i can actually only speak for geogaddi, but neither it nor the stuff i've heard from the other albums made me want to get something else by them... |
||||||||
|
|

i love BoC. i find their music really easy to listen to and it just seems to relax me in a way that no other music does. Kid for Today is one of my favourite tracks by BoC. it's just sexual really isn't it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like Geogaddi quite a bit. I find the rest a little too repeitive and/or dull, but I still listen to the other albums once in a while and enjoy some of the tracks. I find a lot of filler in their albums, personally, too. |

BOC is my favorite 'IDM' act. I find their music to be nostalgic, uplifting, pacifying, comforting but at the same time "dope" or "cool" or "phat" even. I find that my attention can be totally absorbed by their music, but i can also have it playing in the background, totally non-distracting. I love how often the music doesn't seem to rely on fancy programming or flashy edits and effects, though upon further scrutiny, I can appreciate the attention to detail and production. I also love the organic sound of their music. Even though it's electronic, it sounds very raw to me. Natural instead of synthetic and steril. The music has real soul. It sounds human, instead of alien and robotic. Not that robotic synthetic cybernetic music is bad, i just prefer BOC's brand of electronic. |

I agree wholeheartedly with that statement. As far as i am concerned they are the best of what is on offer in the electronic sphere of music. So many people are close but the release too much music. Alot of it mediocre, with boc this is not so. I am not prepared to argue the merits over other artists because there is no point. There are alot of things i love in electronic music. Boc has all of the critera i am looking for times by ten! |
||||||||

|
|
yeah, but that's perhaps also because they pretty much stopped developing anything new years ago. |

listened to all the old tunes stuff last night. That imo is the best boc, the most raw stuff that encompasses their style before they had to give it thought for label expectations. It's retains their 'boc' style but plays around so many ideas, I was playing video games on mute while listening and some of it fit well (too well). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love their old stuff. Why? Because it has a child-like simplicity but blissfulness to it. 'Tis good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aphex Twin, Autechre, Phoenecia, Richard Devine, The Books, Mira Calix, Animal Collective, the list is quite long. |
||||||||

Yes, technical wizardry is entertaining too, if that's what turns your crank. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wizardry in general is cool I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think te sound they have has a come a long way since they first released anything. People don't need to sound completely different with every release. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
theres a lot of stuff thats better than boc that is far from technical wizardry. i think boc just care about the wrong thing i dont think very many people give a shit if your music sounds like its being played from a cassette from ancient egypt. id be surprised if they cared about all this stuff when they did mhtrtc |

I like them. first post. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah boc..can't hate them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree. I think it's cool that BOC use the medium of electronic music to make something that doesn't really sound 'electronic.' I mean, it seems obvious to make cybernetic music with a computer, but to make organic music with that same computer, i find that impressive as well. |

Nicely Put Sir! |

I wasn't always much of a fan of their stuff to be honest, but with the upcoming TCHP I gave them a second chance and fell in love with them and now I can't let go :) |
||||||||
|

you fell in love with a dead boy |
||||||||

nice, welcome.! |
||||||||
|
|

i like them because beauty is one of the hardest things to get. i love mhtrtc and iabpoitc. geogaddi is not my thing. and i think i will love tch. earlier boc is ok. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eek :p |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why do i like boc? because theyre fucking good. duh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you listen to tch? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love the Old Tunes, Boc Maxima(? The one Red Moss is on) & the EPs. Albumwise, I enjoy the first half of MHTRTC, but I only enjoy 3 or 4 tracks from Geogaddi - |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have to agree almost whole-heartedly with uzim on this. Bubblegum music (for me) It also doesn't relax me at all, in fact, it makes me more anxious. |
||||||||
|

The phrase: Different strokes for different folks comes to mind. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I do; I like them, mostly because they juxtapose a comprehensively mystical and unique spiritual identity with playful elegance; I also find that they are masters of sonic texture, and structural surprise. |
