OK.....I had to do this topic.... I hope I am not mis-representing myself out here on v5.... ALL of you guys know that BOC is my first love....But.... I would NEVER put Richard and BoC even on the same level. I have MUCH love for Aphex Twin and ALL his work.....I just CANNOT see any comparison between the two... Anyone??? BOC will always be my first love... (criticism- the fate I accept fully out here on v5).... |

thats silly |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
PLS!!! NO MORE BOC TOPICS... PLS... |
||||||||
|
|

aphex outshines boc like by a million percent or something boc are the jean michelle jarre of modern techno chillout |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how is this silly...? Awww forget it, I am too tired to argue.... EVERYONE RULES!!! |
||||||||

i dont understand this b o c hysteria. geogaddai isnt that good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep...BOC=JMJ... Sounds about right... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That is very silly, BOC are great and I love the new album but BOC are no way as good as the god, Aphex Twin. We all have our own opinions. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yup, there's no point in comparing them. Or any music for that matter.It's just art nothing more. Maybe if it were a new wonder drug or something: afx killed 85% of cancerous cells while BoC only billed 73%. Next time you have cancer try AFX. mmmm....Tastes mediciney. |
||||||||

so what the .. ? BoC and Aphex are good artists, what the heck ? i don't find one of them better than the other, they make music, good music, so i like both as well.. RDJ has no limits, and BoC has trick in her music, music is the weapon, to explain things that you can't explain with words.... also my english sucks, better i turn knobs.. |
||||||||

hurray raimons - did you know that warp hired a team of computer nerds to spam IDM messageboards with worshipful praise of boc. i know 2 people who have been paid £1200 each to spend 2 months spamming mbs, its sooooo sad - but its worked brilliantly for them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bagvali...that really wouldn't suprise me... It would explain why everywhere is full of BoC bollocks... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jand - its totally true, and why not i suppose- its very effective marketing, and goes direct to the IDM consumers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well I was not paid anything...(that idea is crazy)..... I just love BOC....And I also love RDJ.... Map made it simple, I like his explination: "RDJ has no limits, and BoC has trick in her music, music is the weapon, to explain things that you can't explain with words...." Well put.... This was all just a matter of my opinion... I expected backlash.... Cheers everyone.... |

|
so Boc = fucking POP IDOL.... lol... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why is the idea of paying someone to plug/promote and album so weird? why do you think television has adverts every few minutes? people want to sell their stuff dont they |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the IDEA itself is not wierd at all...in fact it is VERY prevolent within the record industry.... I just thought it was crazy that someone was accusing the fans on this MB of being paid..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
1200? that is some expensive spam. must be made of only the finest pork nads and choice bung-holes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ironlung not all- obviously, but all you need is 10 people to go under various guises and spend all day spamming, those people can cover a lot of ground in a couple of months |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

evolume its worth it for boc, they are selling 10's of thousands of copies of geogaddi :) |

I really hate replying to this and bringing it back up the topics list as I have already made very clear what i think of this BoC onslaught on the mb..but this is just too damn irritating a question..somebody else brought up JMJ comparison which I think is a good one here's another comparing BoC and Aphex is like comparing Kenny G with Charlie Parker..both use horns (here laptops etc)..both work in roughly the same idiom Jazz(here IDM) but when it come right down to it..Charlie Parker revolutionized Jazz..gave it a much needed edge which it was loosing with umpteenth number of soft lounge acts...while Kenny G took a few hints from Jazz and melded it all into a putrid sickly sweet elevator/supermarket muzak that mindless sheep can mindlessly trundle their shopping trolleys to... |

to me, geogaddi sounds like the perfect mix of various warp artists. i hear autechre, aphex twin, plaid and even mira calix. and that's ok. i appreciate the album more than i did drukqs, although that album will probably be better in the long run. not to mention confield. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like Kenny G. His smooth sounds put me in the mood for love. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You sure are going to great lengths to convince us about this BOC spam conpiracy thing! You have mentioned it on at least four different threads! Even if it is true, it didn't make me buy it. They should have spent the money on a free album for all of us... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think Boc is much better at the ambient, naustalgic music, while Aphex is better at the... the... well, just everything. So yeah, Aphex is better than Boc, but I still love em. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Kenny G got where he did because a lot of women in the early 90's wanted his hair :p |

Alright, look, this topic seems to be divided right down the middle; are BoC really any good?? Sometimes when I listen to their stuff, I really enjoy it, but usually get a bit bored or find my attention drifting off to something else. The only track that I REALLY love- as much as I love just about every Aphex track- is Orange Romeda from the Wap100 compilation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes!!! Orange Romeda is the shit. I guess whether you like boc or not kind of depends on if your the kind of person who likes being in mellow, nastalgic moods alot or not. Just a thought. |

Aphex Twin covers more styles, and is totally excellent at what he does, drum'n bass, and general craziness, but personally I feel BoC have a better sense of melody... their melodies are excellent, so are Aphex Twins, but BoC more so for me... there is not point in comparing them though, cause they are each excellent, and I love them both... right now though I'm liking BoC better... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, boc are masters of the melodies for sure, and soothing melodies at that... Olson comes to mind for me, so so soothing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BoC's melodies are predictable and pedestrian..RDJ's on the other hand tap into the subconsious and makes you think "damn I am sure i've heard that beofre" while you actually haven't... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

that is your view... not mine... |

Nice pic funkmaster. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is that Boc in your pic? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup yup, it sure is... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Boc are more trippy with their use of found sounds, afx just knows how to write music which develops into logical sense. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lets just all sit down and talk music all night, who likes mozart? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aphex....no doubt sorry ironlung but i love boc so much now anyway we have talked a lot of what we think of this someone vs that other |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
swetewtttt |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
la de dah doh ,reh ,me fah ,soh ,lah te, doh , thought i would share that one with you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
logical sense??? i'm not sure you heard all of his music swimmy... and i, too, think that boc are just a little too repetitive (beats and style, samples, ...) and geogaddi impressed me way much less than mhtrtc, just because it his the same music (darker and more develloped), when i heard mhtrtc i had never heard music like that before, and geogaddi has 7 great songs for me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my god all of you are so crap, sorry. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
funkmaster you also said that you like stuff that's more melodic than Drukqs... more melodic than Drukqs? how is that humanly possible? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I prefer BoC cause you can dance to it without hardly having to move. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ie sleeping :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aphex, by far. BOC is amazing, but I like listening to eclectic artists, and BOc is just so STATIC. Drukqs is just so convoluted, it's too good to be true. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
boc is for chilling after smoke out sessions afx is just for my other states of mind, i can't listen to too much afx when i am tense though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Since Geogaddi came out Ive listened to it all day at work every single day, on repeat. I put in MHTRTC today to see how it struck me after hearing Geogaddi so much and I must say I think Geogaddi is better, which suprised me because before I had a chance to hear it again I remeber it as sounding far more lush than it is. (end off topic ramble) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
it's a ridiculous topic. like comparing chalk with cheese. these are two artists who do different things well. it's not a competition. NEXT... |
