*chuckle* One thing I find usually true and amusing about IDM: the rarer the
release, the better the reviews. And if a record (on Skam no less) is
limited
to 100 copies (it is, no?), there's probably a good chance of someone
hailing
it as the best release of the year (as projected on January 19). I've
ordered
the 7" - hopefully it is really all that and a bag of chips.

Is BoC really so unique-sounding? On one level, isn't the entire output of
Skam just an interesting and competent take on the various shades of
Autechre?
While the BoC 12" on Skam was enjoyable, I thought both the melodies and the
beats were piss-weak compared to prime Black Dog, a comparison made by
someone
at the time of its release.
