SolarHexx

Yesterday while driving in British Columbia, I noticed a set of seven hexagon-shaped solar panels that looks just like BoC's newish logo. Apparently it's called the "SolarHexx Flower".

Given the similarity between "SolarHexx" and "Hexagon Sun", I have to ...

Re: Hooper Bay Tracks?

I'm a hoper on this. They were literally amateur at the time they produced Hooper Bay, so if it sounds amateur that's a green flag. It also sounds like something that would be created with the technology at the time and not like the output of software and plugins.

Re: Mystery VHS Tape Transcription:


Something interesting I noticed: The narrator seems to say "2.95" like "Two-Nine-Five".
This is interesting. So the latest transcription, it says the numbers 6 and 3, then 2-9-5 toward the end, as well as "the message is clear". Anyone want to try texting "clear" to 63295?

I read the Illuminatus! Trilogy about ten years back - good stuff. Lots of 23's. (No masks.)

The alternating current hum at the very beginning is at 60 hz. This wasn't made in the UK unless the recording is sped up.

I did this like 2 years ago. Except the guy never sent the album and vanished off the face of the earth.

I bought from a deadbeat once too. I corrected the situation by posting on the Discogs forum "do not buy from this guy" etc. He then sent my order within a week plus some additional stuff on ...

Although the first thing that made me "get" BoC was noticing that many songs had the same wobbly-pitch sound as the warped film reels we'd watch in school, and I watched quite a bit of 3-2-1 Contact, Sesame Street, Reading Rainbow, etc. in the early-to-mid 1980s, I experience something different ...

The chords overlap due to the heavy reverb/sustain, making it sound dissonant and ambiguous. It should sound a lot more correct if you add a ton of reverb and fade in each chord with the volume knob.

The elements you mentioned are all staples of BoC's technique. That "Skyliner" and track 3 from Lighthouse have them all in common is probably a coincidence. If they were indeed related, there would probably be more similarity in the melody or chord progression.

Not that voice--the vocoder voice that sounds like "...ooooooosss". I think someone once speculated that it's based on the same voice heard in "Opening the Mouth".

The only melodic structures in "The Devil is in the Details" is the keyboard, complemented by the bass dropped down a fifth,

Not to re-enact that scene in "Cannibal: The Musical" with the argument over music theory jargon, but the distance between the melody and bass is not a fifth--it's an ...
