boc is the best electronic group by a substantial margin. all other electronic music artists pale in comparison—even aphex twin and four tet

You know, that might be one of the most pretentious and careless comment I have ever heard about BOC...and I think that is what makes me love it all that ...

Man, I am only sixteen and thinking about that still gave me nostalgic chills. Back to older times, for better or worse...I like that thought.

So, the point of this little thread is to ask you, the viewer and poster, to say what albums/EPs resonated with you, and what you would compare these albums/EPs to. I will kick off this thread, and hopefully you get an idea of what I am asking once you read my post.

I absolutely loved Trans-Canada ...

I don't think it is useful to think in terms of 'if this is a reference to this then what does that release reference'

That isn't really what I meant. I was just curious as to what those other Albums/EP's compared to, just in your opinion. I guess it would be better to just start a thread for ...

So if Geogaddi was a full-on trip, and TCH was either a look back on the trip or a somewhat less psychedelic trip, then what would that make Twoism, Trans-Canada Highway, Hi-Scores, and TH?

To quote Opothecary:

"I think a lot of their releases have had strong psychedelic overtones to them ...

Well then. This escalated quickly.

(Also, electro ponce? That is way too funny!)

I think Turqoise Hexagon Sun is boring.

You know, I kind of agree. The only part I really like about it is that piano-y synth that makes up the intro, and is used throughout the rest of the song. Otherwise, it is kind of...I don't know...bland...for BOC. Nice drum layers, but too little variation ...

If we are really talking controversial, I would like to put it out there that I think that Ctrl All Del's remix of TCH (I believe it was called The Phasefire Camphead) was one of the best and coolest things I have ever heard. I almost completely destroyed the original feelings and emotions of TCH ...

I might be a newcomer myself, but I like the idea of me not being able to post anything I have done (unrelated to BOC and the threads, of course) until I gain some credibility. I just seems right that somewhere should be verified as an active and reasonable user before they go posting THEIR OWN ...

Nice beat, and love the funky-ish vibe to it. A little dissonant for me, though.

Come to Dust

I'd find it funny if this track is legitimate and someone added that synth (which btw might be a sampler, who knows) to invoke a sense of doubt. The uploader was clever. I can give them that much.

The funny thing is that the track is technically real. It exists as 04B in R35TT. So, if the synth ...

Loved the Olson remix. Interesting take on the bass, and nice chime-y synth to bring in the high end, as well as the other ambient aesthetics you introduced as the song progressed.

Album sounds great, definitely considering throwing my money at my screen for it.

Now if only you could do an album ...

High 8

Great sounding synth and beat. Sounds almost like the aural rendition of a great LSD trip.

Forest Moon

And again, I don't get the thing about the synth. It sounds fine to me, fake or real.

That's kind of where the problem comes in (yeah, I'm new here, but give me a chance). With the right equipment, anyone can create a BoC like synth. At that point, they can slap together a song, release it with ...
