Jar, what was the quality of the sound like there? Is it a clear sound system? Are there any basslines, subs etc you can't hear in the recording?

It just makes me think of The Andromeda Strain.

Absolutely.

Goddamn, that chord at 4:29 of the Ikimasho vid gives me the biggest evil grin... I can't wait to hear the small details. Sounds like there's a lot of persistent percussion underneath.

Thank you so much, Jar! どもありがとうがざいました。おつかれさまでした。I hope the the taxi fare home doesn't sting too much!

Beautiful sound and visual, and yeah the clouds moment is incredible. Can't wait for the videoclip to be released.

Moloch · Post by **Moloch** » Wed May 22, 2013 4:35 pm

Fuck, I wanna hear the full album right now!

Also, BOC website says release date is set to 12 June for France.... why?

So my guess is either they will be doing this again in a different country soon and delay posting it online, or this is it and the video will appear in their YouTube channel in the next day or two.

So it might be Split Your Infinities, it's about 135bpm, not really the like beat structure of TCH stuff, more like a half step drum & bass style drum pattern. The synths pads sound like they're layered with strings of some kind and choral voice pad (reminded me of Popol Vuh a bit) and there's a John Carpenter'ish arp synth throughout.

These are all good things.

EDIT: Carpenter'ish arp synth starts fading in about 2:45mins in.

I love it! I'm so excited! I cannot fucking wait to hear the rest of this album.

i'm convinced some of the sounds in that video (one of the lower synth bits) were in the album announcement video.

On the good quality u can hear it kinda properly, and I am fucking psyched now. This album really is gonna blow us all away.

Worth waiting for. Just lovely.

This. Did anyone else notice the National Geographic-esque square that pops up during this scene too? Reminds me of the monolith. I felt so much bliss and so peaceful when this whole scene started. New album is going to be incredible.

looking forward to hearing the drum parts in higher quality, sounds like some nifty things going on. missed that side of them with the last LP.

the track sounds like a piece of a much larger world. they're an albums band rather than a singles so trying to keep that in mind.
