I remember the feeling I got when I heard it the first time. Words cant describe the happiness :lol:
Same. It couldn't have been anyone else but BOC. The shivers down my spine hearing that aural calling card and knowing they were back.

Well, just be careful and mind the conspiracy theorists who have attached themselves to Watts' work like they have the right. There is beauty to discover in his words, but the deliberately obtuse and confirmation biased among his audience seem to think he shared or would have shared their opinions. He did not and would not.

In kind, I offer a personal favorite.

Well I will never forget it. I think about it all the time. I was glued to my seat asking all of my friends who where smarter than me about strange things. HA HA HA trying to guess the next clue was the best.

I hear people say how this album gives them the same warm, fuzzy, reminiscent feelings of previous BoC albums, and I have to completely disagree. This album may have a few fleeting moments of warm fuzzies, but it always quickly changes to a more bent vibe. Nothing is Real is a great example of what I am saying. To me, the album sounds like a soundtrack to a horror movie, only the movie isn't a movie, at all. It is a documentary, hence the intro, Gemini, detailing the apocalypse that looms. Each song can be broken down as a representation of the chronological order of events and occurrences that lead to said apocalypse, from war to economic collapse to GMO seeds killing the pollinators of Earth. The color of the album being yellow and black may even be a nod to the honeybees. The album hits that moment, Palace Posy, then goes through the motions of the energies that follow, even down to questioning Jesus Christ and his promise of eternal life in Nothing is Real. In the end, we're left with the futility of Semena Mertvykh. Call me crazy, but this is what I hear when I listen to Tomorrow's Harvest. It is the opposite of warm and fuzzy, and it is the opposite of reminiscent because it deals with tomorrow. It is an absolutely brilliant album which showcases their true genius, and over the past year has easily become my favorite album they've released.

My feelings cooling down towards Tomorrow's Harvest, just maybe need to take a break, it was on crazy rotations lately, interesting somehow even don't wanna revisit it anymore, fortunately there more new interesting music coming, Plaid for ex., which make me excited actually.

I figured black/yellow as one of nature's universal evolutionary colour-matches for 'poison', seen in fish and ladybugs etc.

Black/yellow = nature's warning re poison.

I agree. I have to admit though that MHTRTC and Geogaddi are my most played (and favourite) BOC albums, so Tomorrow's Harvest isn't quite there for me, but I'm sure it'll grow on me even more, despite not having that nostalgic, fuzzy 70's childhood summer feel to it.

Where the hell do you get ideas like this? The only mental images I can get is walking on mountain tops, hiking through forests or walking on the beach, stuff like that.
It's actually pretty cool that each individual can gain their own mental imagery from something. I would say that arvy's comment comes somewhat close to what I imagine when listening. Still haven't figured it all out yet, however.

Hell yeah, I just feel that Tomorrow's Harvest is just a prologue to a bigger story, that waits us to discover. If it was made for future generation people, years after us... and lol, I believe that cosecha-transmisiones has something do it with this, God helps us if we manage to solve this fucking maze

i find it one of the best albums ive heard in a long time when i remove all the tracks with beats so its only an ambient album. It makes sense to me this way, all the ambient tracks are next level, totally amazing, they seem to reach into new territory with these tracks but the beat tracks are much the same old boc.
Dont get me wrong the tracks with beats are great but i like the LP without them personally.
