I’ve been listening to BoC for a couple of months and I listened to Tomorrow’s Harvest from start to finish for the first time today. I think the brothers were really inspired from 80s Tangerine Dream albums. At least half of the songs have this synth and arpeggiator heavy sound which are similiar to those old action or post-apocalyptic movie soundtracks, just like the ones Tangerine Dream made. I don’t know if this is common knowledge but just wanted to share I noticed.

Been getting into Oneohtrix Point Never recently. Kinda get BOC vibes from him. Anyone else?

In regards of today's "chordplayer77 incident": do we know if the brothers have other siblings?

Posted this originally this time last year- I’ve had I’ve quite a few requests for a repost… so I thought seeing as it’s Christmas I’d put up a new link.

Of course, music is not a competition - and I’m so glad we can enjoy all of this music from contemporary, visionary composers.

I came across an old WATMM thread debating these two artists, who I love. So, desert island… you already have all of Boards’ work (even the unreleased stuff - what a cool island!), and you have to choose between the complete works of Autechre or Aphex Twin. Who are you choosing and why?

My girlfriend puts a BOC decoration on the tree every year, she can't remember where it came from, she insists that it takes pride of place on the tree. I want an Aphex Twin cut out for the top of the tree, but never get round to it. Anyway it ensures some Christmas boc cheese every year!

Priori - This but More

I was hoping that someone could remind me exactly which track this was. It was on YouTube at some point. It was short and sounded like the instrumental stuff The Mode were doing around the time of Music for the masses, Pimpf, St Jarna, etc

Can you name all the songs?

There's scenes in this movie that take place ten years after the bombs fall and they all show this irradiated wasteland Sheffield unlike Fallout, where life simply does not continue because the background radiation does not allow repopulation. Agriculture plays heavily into the scenery, as does cold temperatures and sickness. Watching the movie made me think of the album a lot.

I’m been massively into my techno for the last few years - and was in to BoC before that having lived in Edinburgh for University and being introduced to the band by my local record shop (who knew them from back in the day!). I was wondering if anyone had a similar overlap?

BoC I suppose acted as a bit of a gateway drug to me in terms of the repetition and psychosis of it all, I’m not sure how much M&E took from the scene? Especially as a Brit it’s sadly not as big as DnB, house, and arguably even the ambient scene here, I had to move to mainland Europe for a bit to fully fall in love with the genres rave scene.

Next stop I suppose is to roll to MHTRTC - I think Geodaggi would scare me shitless.

For me its that olson is great but a bit overrated

Looking for some new material cause i keep feeling like I've listened to everything, only to discover something completely new. Any suggestions?
