Funny, humming that song has been a huge trigger to listen to the album again for me. Earworm!

I don't understand all of the votes for Acts of Magic. I generally like the shorter BoC tracks and this is one of their best IMO, in fact I thought it would have made a good intro track for the album when I first heard it

I literally have no least favourite! Everything fits together so well - the sequencing here is genius.

Acts of Magic feels amazing when using a transducer.

Hand down, it’s “Prophecy….” Even in full context with the rest of the album, I skip it more often than not.

oh so THAT'S why my stereo seems to start blasting when that song comes on. i'm taking all your volume!!

It’s all yours! Hahaha!! Don’t get me wrong. I blast it every now and again it’s just not up there with my all-time favorite songs of theirs.

i get the same vibe (but love it), or like a real hard boiled gritty cop show - but it's the weird synth bass that shows up before those glossy synths ever show up!!

doot. d-d-doot doot. d-d-d-d-d-dootdoot

Who's out there voting for Somewhere Right Now In The Future?

Ha ha! If Pingu did BOC?

The track certainly isn't without merit, it's perhaps just not to my taste. Apparently I'm in another minority as I absolutely love Acts of Magic. Go figure.

Pingu doesn't mess with psychedelics but he's a fiend for nootropics

Voting for Giraud's Mirror does feel a bit like spoiling your ballot paper. However, it sits outside the flow of the album and I struggle to remove anything else from the whole.

The obviousness of the Hare Krishna chant still gives me a wee bit of friction, but I so love everything else about Naraka. I can absolutely see why Acts of Magic is getting the votes but, for me, it's a racing heart having drunk the Kool Aid. A panic attack in audio form. It makes me deeply uncomfortable but I couldn't do without it.

For me it's Somewhere Right Now in the Future which has the unfortunate position of being that song right after the song that I am most enamored with. That being Father And Son. I find my self skipping backwards to repeat Father and Son or sitting there waiting patiently for Naraka to drop.

I'm in the 'Acts of Magic' support boat, I absolutely love that little track and I look forward to that bass pulse every time.

It's funny that so many people are voting for it, seeing as when the Inferno teaser was posted everyone LOVED the track and a good portion of BoC fans guessed that it could be 'introit.'

I suppose I understand the votes for 'Somewhere Right Now,' some might perceive it as uneventful in comparison to the tracks that precede and come after it. But I adore that track, it's pure Geogaddi vibe goodness.

My guess is the people voting for 'Acts of Magic' and 'Somewhere Right now' are the same people who would rank Geogaddi as 4th or 5th in their album ranking, lol.

For me it's 'Into the Magic Land.' I don't dislike it, I just don't love it... and I think 'Blood in the Labyrinth' is a more satisfying listen.

All of you who keep voting for Arena Americanada are going to burn in hell

At least I'll be warm.

Lol! I guess the synth stabs in that one are too loud / obnoxious for some folks?

I'm just glad 'Memory Death' has zero votes! It better stay that way....

For real, what is going on with that?? It's one of my favorites!

Easily Acts of Magic, and I don't think my opinion will change in the future.
