Re: Boc "Live set" footage?

About the Boc Maxima tape with an early version of Kid For Today tagged on to the end, do you mean this thread? viewtopic.php?t=5756 Was it ever verified? It sure would have been interesting to hear an early version.

Re: Most interesting interview?

In the same section with "Brian Lee Residential," they are also quoted as saying: "With God Speed we have also listened to a small quantity of their work but by no means all of it and I would like to express the greatest respect for Darrel, also my friend. He is probably one of the nicest guys in ...

Peel was known for playing records at the wrong speed haha, but yeah this was recorded at BBC with the band talking beforehand. Did they mention something about it being their fastest yet (so maybe they did notch up the speed a bit from what was originally intended) and did we ever figure why it was ...

One really special moment has to be that little jango at the end of 'Slow This Bird Down'. As soon as the strings start bending, with all those 'glowing' effects on top, it conjurs up real vibes of.... those last 'peak-heat' days of summer, where you're running on little more than vitamin D and ...

It's all so genuine and from it's own unique perspective, not at all a part of the "homogenised urban culture" one of them spoke of in an interview. So much music is so watered down these days (probably was before, but it just gets forgotten about) musicians in the same circuits get influenced by ...

Well, it was not an official announcement, he just mentioned during his first show on the station this morning and then played a song.

i know he's a fan of the band and all and has mentioned them as an inspiration for the music on 'Look around you'(which is a fantastic show).

Indeed! That is definitely NOT from the tape! Great quality!


You mean this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38909028/18%20Sequoia.mp3 ?



Also, I'm sensing a new BoC theme here. Snow.


They're on a Kate Bush vibe then?

Yep, I've heard the album all the way through. It's a great idea....crossing that vangelis sound with the 808 thing, As I read with one reviewer it maybe is a bit too long at 15 tracks and wanes slightly at the end but definitely one of the better records i've heard this year.

Kuedo - severant

Anyone else been listening to that new Kuedo record on PLanet Mu yet?
Pretty decent record. Definitely echoes of Vangelis in there. But aye it's a bit removed from Vex'd alright.

I'd like to hear more strange theories instead of stuff we already know. I've been coming here since before TCH Ep. The theories are the only thing I find interesting anymore.

I'll bite, with the caveat that this is baseless speculation aside from what we've seen here and in interviews.

I think everyone is entitled to their own ideas about which records are the most successful. Although I think it is unfair to label TCH as 'crapped out'. Quite clearly a lot of effort has gone into making that record. The attention to detail is unreal and you dont need to be a studio gear head to ...

Yep, it's becoming to be a bit of a habit for them isn't it?..hehe. Nice to see it that interview the BoC lads gettin props from both Autechre and Squarepusher. I know Autechre brought them to skam so that's understandable but I woudn't have put Squarepusher down as a fan of BoC.
