Anyone detect similarities between the progression of "Somewhere Right Now..." & the "Picnic at Hanging Rock" theme?
I know Picnic was cited somewhere as an inspiration for BoC.

Nice catch. This has been one of my favorite films since back in my ...

I love the all to short bell sound from ;39 - :45. Just gives me evocative imagery of a ship's bell ringing in a fogged in harbor at night. Somehow very warm and cozy.

I'm late 40s and play pick up basketball twice a week. This beats elliptical or running (which I used to do a lot of) for getting exercise.

I love playing and watching team sports. Kind of an aberration as the rest of my hobbies and music leanings are generally solitary.

My bleep order (with clothing bundle) arrived today. I am in California, US. Shipping originated in Michigan which I suppose makes sense as the Western Hemisphere pressing in made in Canada.

I think a plausible explanation on the 100 or 90% written thing is that Mike took the laboring oar on making this album for whatever reason, and put together everything and sent to Marcus. Marcus basically said "no notes; this is brilliant" and perhaps just had input suggestions on the 5-6 he has ...

So just to nerd out on why it sounds Western to a lot of us (probably especially in the US) . The root-fifth pulse that begins this track is basically a Country and Western trope. It's the sound of clopping hooves.

Here's the most salient Morricone example:

I think a thread disappeared, but this track I'd described as Autechrian (in the latter half). The digital percussion reminds me of LP5/Ep7/Draft ... "Arch Carrier" would be a good example.

And the sequence at 1:30 - 2:15 ish is just breathtaking.

Possibly the most accomplished track on the ...

Yes on the Cowboy/Western theme. It immediately reminded me of a Morricone theme to a Spaghetti Western.

I could just repeat this track for hours.

My local shop has one (Fingerprints - Long Beach) so hopefully is RSVPed in time. Still a bit bummed on missing the 5/22 show, but this will suffice.

In fact preordered the red vinyl from them probably within 30 seconds of it popping up. Hopefully that gets me perks.

I appreciate all the comments on these tracks, which I rate as amazing and exactly what I hoped for. A couple thoughts I had I thought were interesting:

1. The thing that takes 1420 to the next level is the skittering rhythm that goes into full effect around 2:10. It's undeniably head nodding ...

What a good day. Such beautiful music and powerful images.

Then again, as Terrence McKenna once said, “Culture is the ultimate cult.” So yes, we are all in one cult or another.

It's interesting that in the McKenna clip where he talks about culture not being your friend, he describes the ...

What a week. The music is amazing.

I'm already willing to put this as the 2nd best BoC remix OAT; behind Poppy Seed. Incidentally Poppy Seed was fairly polarizing when it came out. Poppy Seed is probably in my top 5 most play BoC tracks.

Sisters remix with the video... man. Five tool BoC. Glorious.

Ahh yes, I was sure we had a thread like this before http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8564&hilit=intj

My results were different this time :-/

What are we if not to be defined by computer analytics.

Six years ago I was NTJ and right on the border or I or E. INTJ or ENTJ. N and T ...

I occasionally drive up to Oregon to see my folks (from Southern California). Most recently did it in February. In any event the stretch of road north of Mt. Shasta through Bend, Oregon is about as remarkable as it gets regardless but on a sunny winter morning with snow it is ridiculous.. in any ...

Is it weird to say Collapse? Because I think that is my answer.

1. Split Your Infinities
2. Come to Dust
3. Palace Posy

Not per Tomorrow's Harvest.

Kid For Today has something weird going on if it is 4/4.
