Here's a thread that I haven't seen posted yet. What song does it sound like it took BOC the longest time to write and record?

I'm convinced that it must have been Telephasic Workshop. I am always stunned when I hear the vocal manipulation come in at the end, perfectly timed and in rhythm in some way that I can't even count. Maybe it's something really simple that I don't really get, but to my ears it sounds like it must have taken weeks to get all that to sound right.

In my opinion.. Oscar See Through Red Eye.

Yeah Telephasic Workshop is something special. Some aspect of the rhythmic structure leaves me confused and amazed, without fail.

Telephasic Workshop.

Seven Forty Seven imo

i've thought that about track 7 from Warp10

this too, and the end of peacock tail when all those voices and background noises are swirling around like the inside of your head on a mushroom trip

BTW how long does it take before anyone mentions Geogaddis #23...? It usually shows up in theads like this after a little while..

hey look at that, you called it. it just showed up!

oscar see through red eye for sure

oscar see through red eye is a definite contender for me, but i have to say I'm always impressed by the layering in Julie and Candy

i can see pontiac dream but why whitewater? the drum loop is the only part i find minorly complex

This is my feeling too. I thought about Telephasic Workshop as soon as I read the topic

Telephasic Workshop, but also XYZ sounds pretty complex to me.

A:B::B:C ... ?

And Seven Forty Seven.

There are a few I would say, Alpha and Omega springs immediately to mind though. Quite simple elements but there are lot of subtle elements hidden away in there.
