geez as this talk is getting me excited about the new BoC. Ive only heard
'Oscar See Through The Red Eye' and 'Satallite Athem Icarus'- sounds like
very promising stuff- it also sounds like something that would be pertinent
to a release on Mush Records...guitar is definately prevalent, the cleanest
production fr a BoC album ever- not all mistake or accident ridden (to me)
very consistent; folky and warm at the same time, but yeah im one of the few
who is actually waiting for the official release (though i was very tempted
to DL the entire album) thank you fr those on this list to whom described
the feel and sound of album, definately subsided my impatience.
^_^
