Well, yeah, but I don't exactly see the hero worship I saw 3 years ago with RDJ (which I participated in).

I agree, but only to a limited point. This album seems as though it is not finished. Many tracks end right when they are getting interesting, right before they mature into a great piece of music. Music has the Right to be Fully Explored. And that's why almost everything else I've heard from them is incredible. The Peel session of Aquarius is a fully explored piece of music (imho of course).

The other thread curently going about finding new music and not living in the past applies to me here, but I'm still hunting out golden nuggests from the 1995 to 1998 range (e.g. Dark Side of the Moog 4, wow!). I hope BoC continues to grow and mature and never pulls an Aphex with the quality of their releases. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
