Moderators: Aesthetics, Drones, Hexagon Sun
Main studio, so they have several, possibly each brother has a home studio or some such and they have this common place, I find that kind of reassuring because it gives them space to work on stuff while handling family matters and then have this main space to continue creating together.We have a main studio that is literally on a farm surrounded by deer and rabbits.

my birthday on the 10th too!seeami wrote:haha i have a suspicion this album is targeted at me. It's the most well-constructed new album I've heard by anyone in a long time, the official uk release date is june 10, my birthday, and they stated that they recorded some of the album in new zealand, which is where i live. i had no clue boc were in new zealand and they have been my fav group for years and years so i had to re-read that sentence when they mentioned nz.
the album's already out here on vinyl and cd in stores which really really fkn pisses me off as i preordered the vinyl from bleep the morning it was announced (preordered it on my ipod from my bed in a hostel in tokyo)
at least i legally own the mp3s from preordering and it definitely beats all the other new releases i've heard this year that i've considered great (mbv, exai, silver wilkinson...)
can't wait for my vinyl copy to get here!!! also if they end up reissuing geogaddi and mhtrtc on vinyl i will buy them too.
That main studio is Hexagon Sun, right?Magrathea wrote:Main studio, so they have several, possibly each brother has a home studio or some such and they have this common place, I find that kind of reassuring because it gives them space to work on stuff while handling family matters and then have this main space to continue creating together.We have a main studio that is literally on a farm surrounded by deer and rabbits.
haha, yes! i'm with you Impossible Geometry. R.A.W is a wild author. it's the almost obsessive rating of albums that admittedly bothers me... "this is = to this is > this is" . it's not about disagreeing with an opinion.Impossible Geometry wrote:I gotta humbly disagree with ya.

For some reason, my first reading of that interview cut off after the science and rationality and religion and ideas of mysticism part. I only just now saw their book recommendations and teasing the possibility of BOC performing live.MindElevation wrote:And finally ... will there be live shows taking place around the record?

I actually feel slightly worried and a bit stressed. What if the tickets sell out before I buy any? What if they only play abroad far away and I cannot afford to go? What if they play a surprise secret show and im not there.MindElevation wrote:And finally ... will there be live shows taking place around the record?

it's ok, you're not going crazy, they added those 2 questions later.PorridgeGun wrote:For some reason, my first reading of that interview cut off after the science and rationality and religion and ideas of mysticism part.

But yeah...
Why deprive others of the chance to see their favorite band live though? Kind of silly. As my dad used to say to me sometimes, when something didnt work out in my favor, "tough shit, kid."bdzz wrote:This live thing is a bad idea imho.
Too many disappointed fans, high ticket prices (those who pay more than 5k for a vinyl will pay more for some leftover tickets...). And I know that I won't have a chance to see them.
Or at least I hope they will play at Tristan da Cunha or somewhere really far away.
Wow, that's not brilliant at all; it smacks of pettiness. This really isn't difficult.Impossible Geometry wrote:I gotta humbly disagree with ya. To quote the brilliant, Robert Anton Wilson...

Well, it makes sense in philosophical terms. But I agree with you: a moderately literate person can tell that when such an article calls an album "disappointing", it's mere opinion. Some things just don't need to be restated all the time.NorthcutTAmnestY wrote:Wow, that's not brilliant at all; it smacks of pettiness.Impossible Geometry wrote:I gotta humbly disagree with ya.

Sorry but if they come to California the gig will be at the alameda naval baseGroup Hex wrote:THIS!Compound Candy wrote:This!Rikkiebags wrote: This.
If anyone that has the sway to make sure sure that lifelong fans are assured a shot at tickets IF live gigs were to happen, please please do so. PMs with secret pre-sale info sent to users here on Twoism perhaps?? Hmmmmmm?
I would think several gigs in major cities in both the UK & US would be ideal. Fairly certain most of us would drive or if necessary fly to a gig if it were close enough? By the way, Los Angeles is rabid for a gig.
