When i first heard BOC i was sure they were from canada and the sound conjured up lots of old memories because these segments played a lot (like in almost every spot) on Radio-Canada when i was younger. I'm surprised to hear that they ran in Europe too. These detuned synth sounds were wonderful , i remember them so clearly , BOC is really, really eerie to me.I think almost everybody here in Quebec makes the connection or at least says something like : "yeah i think i heard that once"(even very uninformed and unmusical people) The new ep is really good btw, does anybody know how limited the vynil edition will be??? i really want one. end.
