this one is for campfire, i've said some bad things about it in the past here, but its really grown on me, this is an amazing album. to those boc fans that still dont like it, stop comparing it to other boc, anticipation only distorts what could be a great listening experience. honestly, if they expanded on the geogaddi sound, it would become too convoluted to enjoy. tch is a fine re-approach that entails great things to come. |

What moved you on the first listens to Boards of Canada Gwely? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I like it too, yes. Even if BOC themselves were to come out and say they weren't happy with it, I'd still maintain that is a fine album. Flawed certainly, but all the best albums are. |
||||||||
|

Okay, it's the best album that was ever made. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
it was something different, unique. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It was. |
||||||||
|

really bad albums are flawed, certainly - then again - all the best albums are. heeyyy.. waitaminute.. |

I will not be browbeaten on this. *adopts manner of Stephen Fry (doesn't have to change that much)* What if it wasn't by BOC, hmmm, hmmm, what then? What then would be our thoughtlings pertaining to this collection of tracklettes? I wonder.. hmm, mmm? Are BOC caught in a trap of their own making that stylistically they can't escape, as hinted at in their cover of Colonel Abrams' "Trapped" might prove to be so .. what's the word, ... pre-- something. |
||||||||

|
|
nice! :) would you still like Stephen Fry if Stephen Fry himself said he didn't like Stephen Fry? |
||||||||
|

I wouldn't say they're pre-conditioned stylistically, It's a bit bleak to see an artist that way, and I know you're joking around, I just feel the need to expand on this seriously :) Sure aphex surprises us with every new release, and ae gets more and more oddly complex. But artists like boc, plaid, gridlock, u-ziq, bola, rdevine, vnsnares, etc. have their own unique 'shtick' if you will. And personally, I'd be a bit pissed if they did something off their trade secret roster. |

You wouldn't be pissed if any of the fore mentioned people made a new album that moved you. |

yeah that last sentance was a bit harsh, what i really meant was if they totally went off the diving board, deviating completely from what got them into the scene. I'm sure they could still make a great album, it would just be a bit too leftfield for me. heh, this is coming from the guy whos initial post states that we shouldnt compare past albums to new ones :P id rather be contradictory than concrete. |

I really love constants are changing.. i dunno what to say except i like it. |

Sorry, I was trying to say, that because they have done something a bit different that that may have wrongfooted some fans and that. And one, when talking of BOC, must consider all the "unreleased" stuff that is curiously released, as well. I know it's not the best BOC album, but I think it does come in for some tough criticism. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't care about the change if music stays good and welcome it if music gets better. You also do Gwely, but you need to defend your previous statements now, don't you. Ah, men. |

I know it's not the best BOC album, but I think it does come in for some tough criticism. Don't all new releases these days? Hate threads, love threats, counter threads, re-affirmation threads... heh. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
love threats? haha |

I think the problem with the last album is that they hardly did anything a bit different - it's more of the same, and then a diluted version at that. I wish they actually had done something different. |
||||||||

i didnt compare it in any way, and i still think it's deffinatly not the best. It's shweet, but the best album? Fuck off. |
||||||||

i still listen to it jeez, practically every day. god. fanboi. |
||||||||
|
|

jizz all over it. why? because you can. |
||||||||
|

i listened to it yesterday on the beautiful sun outside. well, first few tracks..it isn't all that bad, but it's far from exciting :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it's shit, but i haven't heard it yet |
||||||||

It has too much of a "big studio" sound (see: beats) and the melodies aren't especially exciting or outgoing. older boc sounded like it had been recorded onto some tapes that had been roasting on a fire for some time but miraculously made it out in one piece (not completely unscathed). The new one sounds like it's been pressed straight to super digital compact disc format. However, the sample of that new song from transcanadian highway or whatever sounds promising. |

I had a party last night and played this, some guy really liked it and wanted to hear more, so then i put on geogaddi and people started laughing at the voice samples.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it's as good as any of their other work (music.., geogaddi) but not as exciting. and also tacky in parts. |

The more I've listened to TCHP, the more it sounds like a BoC release. It has grown on me more than I expected, but I still don't think it's outstanding. As Dog_belchs said, if it hadn't been by BoC and it had just been by an unknown, or even someone like Ulrich Schnauss, would I have listened to it enough for it to grow on me as much as it has? No question about it: no. |

I GIVE IT A 7. OUT OF 7! IT'S THE FUCKING NUTS! I LIKED IT FIRST! ME ME ME ME ME ME ME. |

really dissapointed with this album, nowhere near as good as Geogaddi. The guitar used with the electronics could have been good but it just sounds ameturish to me. |
||||||||
|

It's a very very good album ! Hard to come back to their older stuff after this one, the sound here being very rich, a lot more than in other releases. I love every album though. |

BTW the Dayvan Cowboy video is fantastic. One of the best music vids ever (speaking of videos with good music). |

was it enough to get some jizz out though? |
