I read this piece written by a literary critic about Thomas Pynchon and felt compelled to share the quote posted below. Pynchon is one of my favorite writers and -- like BOC -- he made an early decision to remove himself personally from the public release of his work.

“I suspect that Pynchon’s ...

Echus just hits you right in the heart every time. You did an excellent job transcribing the chord progression & recreating the timbres/ textures. There are chords that feel open and neutral until an additional note enters the picture and somehow shifts the entire piece harmonically into that ...

Hi Terry,

I hope this email is still in use and that this does eventually find you. I have just finished reading this article about your search for the person that wrote anti war graffiti on the bridges around Grantham in the 1960s. Did you ever find the person responsible? I hate to get your ...

Given all the recent discoveries around Societas X Tape I just wanted to give a shout to Mikey and his BoCcast. I remember having a lot of fun listening to these..

Valo, I am almost sure that BoC played the Aquarius bass line themselves for Music Has The Right To Children . You can hear differences in the phrasing and overall feel.

And while we're appreciating the "I'm listening" sample from the Blue Aquarius album, I want to direct attention back to SI FIk's ...

Ready Let's go sample in here. What I once thought could have been captures of short wave radio stuff I now believe it is this passed through a bit of a wobble effect. 100% convinced on this one. Found from listening to the full album of Stefan Zauner that was played on the mix. Excellent prog rock ...

They have left many clues as to where their inspirations and even samples come from in that NTS mix -

I have located the 'I'M LISTENING sample from Aquarius. I've been obsessing today over the track Dance with us Lord from the One foundation. A tape that was circulated around the Divine Light ...

^ Yes, I do like the Wheeltower part. A reference very few would get.

Does anyone know what pseudonym BoC went under for their promotional CD's of Tomorrow's Harvest? I wish I could recall.

It had an interesting album name as well.

I'm not sure about the pseudonym you're referring to but it ...

Also, and this may sound far fetched, I hear similarities between 'We Have Come to Bless the House' from Severed Heads and Zoetrope.

If you listen while muting the drums in your head I can hear a similar movement. Also the synthesized flute part at 00:52 sounds reminiscent of the kind of phrase ...

There was so much love behind the section with the Aquarius samples and the "It's just an illusion!" vocal. I couldn't stop smiling

Ok I am late to the show, left when there were 30 pages, now at 96, can someone give me a quick resumé? Any new BOC, any old BOC, any reference to a secret show, listening party, anything?

Thank you

They created a two-hour mixtape that felt like an Alice In Wonderland adventure through their ...

^Agreed.

BOC has a passionate listenership so it's understandable that expectations could become amplified under the pressure of excitable speculation. However, Warp never suggested that BOC would be using Warp30 as an opportunity to release new music. It would've honestly been strange for that to ...

BoC have spoken about creating music for a world that had taken an alternative route in history & this mixtape feels like a radio broadcast from a station in that alternative world

Enjoy the broadcast everyone & happy June Solstice!

I'm experiencing a night before Christmas feeling as well . .

Agreed. Ode To A Nuthatch is such a beautiful tune.

Odd Nosdam, Doseone, and Why? all developed their own original sound without compromise and their music resonates with me in a way that's similar to BoC even though they all sound different on the surface. Why? are a great live band too.
Hear, hear! BoC, cLOUDDEAD, Nosdam, and Why? were my ...

Stunning to this day.
