Thats what I reckon. They go deeper than anyone else in my view.

The man behind the mask is looking for the book with the pages torn out.
I like BoC aside from Twoism and Geogaddi, but I don't think they're especially more substantial than most artists

I think they just have that little edge musically over everyone else. Thats my view anyways.

I'm not too big a fan of Geogaddi myself actually, but Twoism is great imo.

I disagree with you i'm afraid, i find that BoC really captivate everytime i listen to them and dispite te long wait for new material i have not got bored with the back catalogue. Whereas with alot of other electronica artists i get bored of them alot quicker.
I personally find the depth of their compositions a constant delight as i am always finding something new in them, couple that with really great production.
Hehe, can you tell i really like them?

I can't really pick a favorite to be honest. I love them all for different reasons.
Hmmm, at a push i think that hi-scores and Mhtrtc have the edge for me at the mmoment.

It seems I have a pretty indivdual taste in BoC, I like Geogaddi most. IABPOITC is pretty equal though because the whole release is near enough flawless. Any of their other releases I disregard entirely.

I just don't see them in any different light to any artist, not just electronic either. Good stuff but not the second coming for me.

Well it depends how i feel. Geogaddi is such an amazing album sometimes it is to powerful for me to listen to so i'm not decided on favorites at all.

I understand it is a matter of tastes isn't it.
On an unrelated note i'm likng double figure i've just stated listening to it, thanks for pointing me to that one. Still not sure wether it's better than spokes yet though...

The reason I dislike a lot of their work is I fail to meet with this deepness that promo talks about.
This isn't the case of course with the 2 releases I mentioned before, where the emotional (IABPOITC) and slightly evil (Geogaddi) undertones are loud and clear to me.

Being as our individual tastes are slightly skewed, I can't see you liking it more than Spokes... whereas I think that's their poorest effort yet! The contrasting opinions on that album all over the board are extremely weird.

I think they're definitely the second coming. They just have something so special, to me no one can quite touch the BOC magic and they repeat that magic over and over again. I think I got it wrong I think it is 'Hi Scores' that is my favourite release.

'Spokes' was a poor release, very forgetable. Definitely the worst Plaid release.

Hmmm, indeed but i feel that my liking for spokes waning a little probably because i over played it, wereas i think once double figure has sunk it's way in, i'm hoping it will be much more rewarding.

geogaddi was deep. mhtr2c, twoism and hi scores were all great but still nowhere near geogaddi. i bought twoism recently and its pretty similar to hi scores, in terms of what boc intented to do, imo. tho im sure all the short tracks shoved on the end of the twoism tracks are taken off other albums of theirs. the fact that boc put them on twice kinda ruins them a little for me.

For me I just love the BOC sound. So I don't care too much whether they progress or don't - they're perfect as they are! They've really kinda of shown that tunesmith is more important than glitchy showoffness.

Yep- the depth is part of the appeal for me too. You can turn up some tracks really loud and hear incredibly quiet synth lines in the background. Insane attention to detail in some tracks...

has anyone downloaded the "boards demo" from soul seek? its very early sounding and from what i hear is legit. not to be confused with the new album, this sounds like a mix of stuff from maxima and old ideas.
