I have to disagree, I think that's their least interesting release. IABPOITC is a great track though, it's just that the other three tend to go on and on without much development.

To each his own though

Yeah, I'd agree with that. It feels like their most distilled, totally complete moment.

see, i think that IABPOITC and Kid for Today are two of my favorite songs. It's not that zoetrope and amo bishop roden are bad, i just think they're kinda dull. But for me it's a tough call between geogaddi and MHTRTC. they're both masterpieces, but i think i'd have to go with MHTRTC. it's such a classic album. and one of the first electronic albums that i had ever really gotten into. so may classic songs on it too. perfect balance of melody and mystery.

I adore all BoC's releases. If i got asked this question a couple of years ago, i would have said Geogaddi as my favourite. But it's gotta be MHTRTC tbh! Rue the Whirl is as gorgeous as chicken pie, totally love the track to bits (even though, previously i wasn't really into it) Now i l0vez it.

In a beautiful place out is a perfect ep album, all the tracks are just gorgeous.

WHAT!!!!! Beach at redpoint is my fav on Geo!
Love the way '1969;, 'Energy Warning', 'Beach at Redpoint' and 'Opening the Mouth' are all together.
Those 4 tracks could be a EP!!!
Seems perfect to me...

Hi Scores., the only BoC release I haven't gotten bored with at some point.

MHTRTC has the most of my favorite songs on it, but I also love the whole tone of Geogaddi. Twosim cannot be forgotten and The Campfire Headphase has a few gems as well!

I don't know about a "best" release, but I'd have to say as a whole I've enjoyed The Campfire Headphase the most. In a Beautiful Place Out In the Country is also a favorite.

I LOVE THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everything before Geogaddi just seems like a collection of works gathered over time. Music for example, parts of it obviously go together well (tracks 1-2, tracks 9-10 for ex). But everything else feels more like a bunch of singles put together.

That isn't a negative thing at all, it's just that when I force myself to pick a best release Geogaddi is tough to beat. As a whole everything on it fits together very well. It's one of those albums that benefits more from being listened to beginning to end in one go. Where as most of their other releases you can play just the tracks you like and be fine(with the exception of Trans Canada).

Headphase and the Trans Canada EP hold the most sentimental value to me, because it's basically the only thing we listened to on our honeymoon (Mexican radio sucks).
but, Geo is my favorite album by far, with IABPOITC coming a close second.

WHAT!!!!! Beach at redpoint is my fav on Geo!

no argument here.
