Comments
- Joe Clay: "A fanfare of trumpets and we're off… The first noise you hear is eerie dissonance, which is promising. There's the faint sound of wind whistling in the background, evoking images of icy tundras. The mood is a bit unsettling. Panning synths in the style of Oneohtrix Point Never unfurl, along with something resembling vast synthesised panpipes. It's beatless. There are vague hints of trademark BOCian melodies penetrating the synthy murk. It's a wee bit Goblin/Umberto perhaps, and wouldn't sound out of place on the soundtrack to a Dario Argento flick." [1]
- Skytree posted the following:
- "Gemini": track one
- "Gemini": May 21 - June 20
- Dredging up of the subconscious mind.
- This past weekend saw the last of three eclipses of 2013 (until the Fall), ending in "Gemini".
- Music Has The Right To Children: "Aquarius". Both "Aquarius" and "Gemini" are air signs.
- Much of BoC's video imagery involves flying through the air.
- -- end transmission -- [2]
- I read a review (sorry, someone else needs to edit this post to properly cite the reference) noting that Gemini are twins, and suggesting that separation (or invisible, maybe inevitable) connections might be a recurring Tomorrow's Harvest theme.
- Many others' comments focus on palindromes, suggesting cycles in the tracks' sequence.
- Elsewhere, I suggested listening to the tracks in reverse order (see Semena Mertvykh). But I just read the Tomorrow's Harvest XLR8R review (at http://www.xlr8r.com/features/2013/06/deep-inside-boards-canada-tomorr), so now I'm going to experiment with the kind of book-end sequences suggested there, starting with Gemini.
