My 3 favourite BoC albums are R35TT, AFOT and OTV2.
Something about their spontaneousness and feel to the songs just get me (mainly Finity, A08, 5-9-78 and Buckie High)
I mean, Geogaddi is very close, but I just keep coming back to the older stuff.
My controversial opinion is that BOC aren't two brothers but really just a collection of rats inside two large inflatable rubber man suits. This is why they don't tour, the undeniable undulation of intelligent rodents can be seen through the latex in person. There was originally more pictures and even video from the warp 10th but they were all ordered to be incinerated after Alex Jones discovered the zippers behind their beards.
That flutey bit at the end of Triangles and Rhombuses is fun to sing along to in your head. "Tri... angles... and rhombuses... those-are-the-best.... shapes"
Personally, Geogaddi is my favorite album of theirs, with MHTRTC at a close second. Don't get me wrong, MHTRTC is a great album, but I prefer the slightly darker feel of Geogaddi.
Red - Orange - Aquarius Yellow - Alpha and Omega Green - Blue - Purple - Music is Math
Understand what you mean. Campfire Headphase is warmer, Tomorrow's Harvest has really grown on me (darker again) and perhaps MHTRTC has become over-familiar?
