β | Here's my notes on the songs/ general review <br><br><nowiki>---</nowiki><br> Ok, just got back. Here are my thoughts. In general, awesome experience, the setting was perfect. In honor of Scotland I took a few swills of some Ardbeg (neat). As to the album I would not call BoC going back to a '''[[Geogaddi]]''' or '''[[MHTRTC]]''' style, or a combo of th two. It is definitely a logical progression from ''[[TCH]]'' although primarily from something like "[[Oscar See Through Red Eye]]". They make dense, layered complex stuff now. The minimalism is gone. In some respects I like hearing their sounds with a chance to breathe. You get a little of that in the ambient interludes. That being said, ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]'' is an intense, detailed great ride. I mentioned earlier there were noticeable elements of extremely vintage synths (think 70s Tangerine Dream (Phaedra) of Jean Michael Jarre's Oxygen). Maybe some Bladerunner sounding Vangelis. John Carpenter has been mentioned. It's all swirling around in there. <br><br>I have a video of the first three tracks. I think the sound quality came out pretty good. Trying to figure out how to ujpload it right now. <br><br>I took notes on each track. <br><br>"[[Gemini]]", "[[Reach For The Dead]]", "[[White Cyclosa]]" - you heard them. "[[Gemini]]" was a perfect into track, got me in the proper mindframe for BoC. <br><br>"[[Jacquard Causeway]]" - Intense. When the album kicks into high gear. I really dug what I found to be almost jazzy sounding noodling on what may have been a wurlitzer. It gave a lose feel. One of highlights of album for sure. <br><br>"[[Telepath]]" - the darking counting voice one. I wrote "unmistakably BoC. Nice interlude track. Keeps mood intense." <br><br> "[[Cold Earth]]" - You've heard this one by now. A better track in its full sonic glory. I put this own down as giving me a Vangelis vibe on some of the synths. <br><br>"[[Transmisiones Ferox]]" - Psycaedelic, buried vocals, really dark heartbeat style bass pulse. <br><br>"[[Sick Times]]" - This one again had an almost jazzy feel with a vintage electric organ or piano sound. Don't know if the beat is the "dopest" but it is a hard kicking break beat. The melody parts give the feel of quick tempo that vaguely reminded me of Poppy Seed. Again with the vintage synths (something close to Oxygene sounding). Another one of the best cuts on the album. <br><br> "[[Collapse]]" - This is the one I think might have had a Moog sequencer. It reminded me of Phaedra. Deep track with a great bass line that also functions as a counter melody. Everything from Jacquard Causway to here flowed and was all excellent. As good a stretch as there is on any Boc album IMO. <br><br> "[[Palace Posy]]" - This one was a bit eccentric. Vaguely pizzicato string sounding melody. | + | Here's my notes on the songs/ general review <br><br><nowiki>---</nowiki><br> Ok, just got back. Here are my thoughts.

As good a stretch as there is on any Boc album IMO. <br><br> "[[Palace Posy]]" - This one was a bit eccentric. Vaguely pizzicato string sounding melody. Split Your Infities - This was my initial favorite track on the album. Swirling melody that morphs into what I wrote was "ominous and joyous at the same time. Holy fuck." All the great elements of a great Boc track and shows how skilled they are in their craft. <br><br> "[[Uritual]]" - Buzzy dissosant drone. One of better interludes I can recall and again keeps momentum from Split Your Infities. <br><br> "[[Nothing Is Real]]" - Treated piano, retro sounding break beat. Nice track I could see this one being popular with the non-diehards but I don't mean that as a slight. "[[Sundown]]" - Very Boc synth pads, layered again with what I call the ancient analog Vangelic et all sound. <br><br> "[[New Seeds]]" - Creates a melody almost out of radio static. After that I thought I heard discernable guitar sound... Sounds like what I know to be called col legno on a violin where you flip the blow and hit the strings with the wood part (used most prominently at the beginning of Holtz's Mars). Keeps buildings and immensely dense. This could be a polarizing track. <br><br> "[[Come To Dust]]" - "Eerie with a great laconic break beat." Also a highlight of the album for me. <br><br> "[[Semena Mertvykh]]" - This is more or the less the song from the trailer. The static is gone and there is instead a stunning dark and dissonant background noise. It sounds a little bit like the beginning of Metallica's "Damage Inc" (the last seconds before the thrash guitar comes in ) but with a strong helicopter effect. I love the melody of this song. Glad it is on the album. A perfect closer really (as exit music). <br><br> I loved the album overall. Where it rates in the context of their catalog? No idea at this point. Really glad to have the experienence of the build up and then the surprise listening party. Def treat for US fans. There were probably 100 people there, some came from as far as Arizona. |

Yesterday was an amazing experience and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

So until June 10th comes, I will be checking this forum regularly to see which one of you makes the first move for sharing the other tunes. Am I going to judge you? Probably, but I totally know why you'd do it </blockquote> | So until June 10th comes, I will be checking this forum regularly to see which one of you makes the first move for sharing the other tunes.
