I've heard a lot of good stuff about them. What would
people recommend I buy as a first album to get into them?

First: Music has the right to children
Second: Twoism (download)
Third: Geogaddi

and then all the rest of them ...

music has the right to children
then geogaddi
then twoism when it's rereleased
then a beautiful place out in the country

buy all of their stuff you can!
if you';re into the more mellower melodic idm, this stuff
will be right down your alley

Music has the Right to Children. One of my favourite albums.


Quite weird chillded down tempo stuff. Mainly instrumental.
Seemingly simple loops/melodies but nice complex "depth" in
most tracks. Very re-listenable, you won't tire of this
album quickly. Try playing it through different stereos &
playing around with the EQs and turn it up loud and you'll
notice lots of "Hidden" synth lines etc. Superb.

Music has the right to children.

no doubt!

It's an amazing album, very chilled and down tempo like ceri
JC said.

I've written down these suggestions. I like the description
Ceri. While I love all out madness tunes sometimes I want it
chilled.

Even my dad liked it. I can't wait for the Twoism re-issue,
thats a really good .(mini-)album too and includes the
fantastic piece, "Melissa Juice".

I always wondered that, the track is fairly innocent though,
all melody, nothing sinister etc.

Yep, me too. Both great tracks. Amo Bishop Roden reminds me
of sitting in an armchair in a high up flat looking out over
trees while its raining with a can of guiness and a good
book. Ah good memories :)

Twoism is an old pre-MHTRTC mini alubum (8/9 tracks I think)
yuo can get it on MP3 easily, but the release was quite
limited. They're re-issueing it in november.

Have a look on warprecords.com for more info...

MHTRTC is the boring one in my opinion. But I would still
reccomend getting that one first.. It makes Geogaddi sound
10x sweeter..

I agree - telephasic workshop rules but I prefer geogaddi.
But I prefer prefer a beautiful place... which sounds really
different. I heard but i'm not sure that ABPOITC was
composed AFTER geogaddi... and would correspond to the new
sound of BOC. Thus I'm not really sure of the last
information but it makes sens for me.

and Pomme de Terre : Is that the crack dealer of
bumfights.com in your avatar ?

Yes! You're the first one to mention it mon frere. It's the
one and only Bling-Bling.. Although I think he may have been
more of a crack-smoker than a crack dealer..

agree with you there. listened to mhtrtc only once or twice
i must admit but it bored the hell out of me excepting the
odd melody.

i recommend twoism or hiscores (half of hiscores is crap,
though).

bling-bling expertize !

netlon sent. : I though twoism ~= mhtrtc

and since mhtrtc ~= geogaddi then twoism ~= geogaddi ( I'm
lost )

Sure that BOC sound does not evolve much w/ time.

yes ~= means 'equivalent to' or 'sound the same' in this
context. Nothing to do with != which means 'different from'.

thanks for explaining your lingo :P but yeah i dont agree
with you... there's so much emotion in twoism that mhtrtc
lacks... it seems to just go on forever :) but that said,
i'll give it another try

Hi Scores is their best work to date though IMO. The title
track, Nlogax, and Everything You Do Is A Balloon are
absolute classics, and the rest of the tracks are superb
too. Its a shame its limited, but it just feels more special
to those who have a copy I guess.

But ABPOITC is REALLY good despite its sad lack of length.

as for BoC, i agree with virtuall everyone here, for

Had an interesting experience a few weeks back while
listening to MHTRTC...

I Was drinking at quite a steady pace with 3 other friends
most of the night, then we got the gear out and had a few
cones of that. At this stage I thought it would be good to
listen to BOC.. I'm not entirely sure how long we were
listening for.. slowly as the cd went on we were all finding
it too intense to listen to and within minutes of each other
all went off to spew (charming, I know).
Other mate that doesnt smoke found it quite strange that at
one point in the music it was just all too much for us.

For me I've never felt quite like that.. wasnt just your
average had too much sort of time..

Okay, this has turned into a bit of a ramble.. anyone else
had any sort of similar experiences?
