I'm with Cupz. If anything, in terms of overall composition of BoC output, the input of Palace Posy where it is in the album is much closer to the kind-of clumsy/"punk" arrangement of earlier BoC, Twoism and pre-Twoism (e.g. A Few Old Tunes). Back then, BoC were much more willing to make messy, conflicting arrangements of melodies that would depart from the overall whole of a collection, meandering into little areas of *totally* new and unexpected sounds. I very much appreciate this.... "jazz"... angle to earlier BoC

I think the track title gives away the purpose - anagram of apocolypse meaning it represents a confusion or a vacuum of power following some kind of global event, hence it doesn't really fit, i think thats the point of the track. That said, i don't really like it either!

You guys have weird taste. Palace Posy was the only track which clicked for me right away

Yes. Its like the roygbiv of TH.

Palace Posy's existence/placement on TH is just a great example of them getting back to some risk taking again, doing what they want instead of being put in a corner by expectations. Some of my favorite moments on the OT tapes are the weird little interludes and experiments between more established pieces of music.

I find it funny that Palace Posy is the track people most feels is out of place, because Jacquard Causeway could not be more out of place/disrupting of whatever they had building so far than anything else on that album for me.

okay; I forgot to say this in my original post... I don't like jacquard causeway either
i'm not really a big fan of th in general

I love Palace Posy. To me it sounds like boisterous Medieval celebration complete with fireworks, mead, and Morris dancers.

Well, think of it as the first fall harvest celebration after the end of the world (Collapse).

whoa... really interesting to hear how people 'see' Palace Posy. I don't see it like that at all. I see a weird, barren-earth kind-of landscape, kind-of like how Mars looks in Alan Moore's Watchmen (graphic novel, not film), with weird post-apocalyptic structures and primitive earth-based architecture... and the embers of long-ago transmitted radio signals personified and taking part in this dance...

Gotta say that is the closest to what I imagine.

Haha, oh yeah? cool!

I love what Solange did and I don't give a fuck!

lol --- that is a phrase for a subtle boc-referencing t-shirt right there.

i don't feel Palace Posey to be out of place... the tone of the voices echo those in Sick Times and the tone of the percussion is continuous with a lot of the percussion throughout the whole record

i always felt it as a kind of celebration that turns into a heart of darkness kind of thing, the voices that sound like record scratching hit so hard ! I love when they let the rhythm of the melody take the lead

What, her remixes or her bitch slapping Jay-Z?
