well, although i have been enjoying it, i have to agree with nate on the
fact that it sounds pretty pristine (in a negative way) compared to their
other stuff. the warmth is there for me; I just think the
grittiness/detuning of their synths and crunchy drums were what gave that
warmth uniqueness in the first place and made me come back to it so often
(when I bought both Hi Scores and Music Has the Right to Children, they
never left my cd player). regardless, i have been listening to it a lot-
with the exception of Zoetrope which is kinda fucking boring- and just hope
that BOC continues to evolve.
btw, nate: you know you love your orange vocoder!!!
