I bet they weren't even trying to make up half the hidden meanings people stir up out of the songs.
All this hidden bullshit talk is just as annoying as people yelping about the government in almost every song listed on songmeanings.com

sure, they aren't trying to construct any dogmatic or ...

more or less, Geogaddi is to religion as Full Metal Jacket is to war. not pro not anti, just examining it as a human phenomenon.

Sorry to be harsh, but if you're gunning for the hyper-rigorous, super-geek vibe, then at least ensure the objective 'correctness' of what you're saying.

'ready, let's go': 'let us go' is a 1st person plural hortative subjunctive.

thanks for the correction

i'm not gunning for any vibe. i'm just ...

rudimentarily (i'm no sound engineer), they put a noise in motion in 2 dimensional space eg up down left right diagonally ect ... then by varying volume subtley they put the noise in 3 dimensional space. thus they can effectively trace out any geometric figure, number or even signify actions and ...

dandelion, beach at redpoint, alpha and omega, i saw drones, dawn chorus and you could feel the sky are most especially beautiful and chilling backwards.

if you haven't yet listened to geogaddi backwards, you really should. it's suprisingly listenable from start to finish. i didn't find the same ...

i was listening to An Eagle In Your Mind lastnight with me headphones and i only noticed that through out the track there is a snorthing sound like someone doing 2 lines of coke over and over again. that tune made sense to me there and then with the details in the tune and the name.


that would ...

like they said, "corsair is like, the light at the end of the tunnel"

In no way do i find this statement to be true. how cheap to cap-off the end of an exeptionally dark journey with a hopeful christian metaphor. if corsair approximates anything resembling hope, it is only to serve as a slap in ...

Love BOCs stories, and the narrative side of their albums...its so sweet on TCH its like watching a excellent movie! Fantastic stories being told with no words.

the details of the narrative on TCH seem to be buried much more deeply and densely in the mix than on geogaddi. life beneath the surface ...

to be more specific, beyond the music merely evoking images and shapes relative to listener interpretation, they seem often to be, more than any other act i've heard, actually tracing out shapes, numbers, and even more complex actions and scenes especially within the confines of headphone space. it ...

Aural geometry in geogaddi

i don't know the proper terminology but has anyone else found that boc use the doppler effect with almost every melody in geogaddi? the overall impression being that you are hearing specific shapes, sometimes even numbers, being traced out.

i forget which track it was but i remember distinctly ...

some artists intentionally mislead interviewers. or they only give part of the picture. generally, i don't believe much of what they say beyond their studio techniques.

but anyway, does anyone else have any thoughts as to narrative structure? it doesn't have to be all-encompassing, maybe just an ...

some of it is a little tenuous. of course i can only imagine what hell would sound like. the last thing i want to do is solve geogaddi. i enjoy the music so much more than analyzing it. but after you've listened to an album more than a thousand times you naturally start to notice stuff whether you ...

one of the main points of that track and indeed the album is for boc to suggest something that i don't think anyone has ever really thought of before or at least not seriously.

everything the little kids say is standard god-fare, bland stuff that their parents have planted word for word in their ...

in my experience, dawn chorus has been the perfect soundscape for marijuana, alpha and omega for lsd, and skyliner for coke.
