When I want to remember my childhood I put on A Certain Ratio's first album,
"to each..." and soon enough I start to daydream about skyscrapers, the cold
war, food stamps and other wu-tang style ghetto memories. There's nothing
like postpunk to get that true early childhood despair going.

totally, I agree with this 100%, I think a lot of ppl grow up to fast that
they feel like they neglected their childhood. I often think of my
childhood memories and wish I could go back to those times where things
where simple. Listening to BoC gives me that same feeling, retrospect of
my childhood years.
At the same time, it gives me a pleasant feeling of knowing I didn't miss my
childhood years, they have been surpressed by the world and it's negative
emotions. as a child, I was for the most part a happy child, and listening
to BoC makes me feel happy.
