Funny you ask this, but the answer is yes, BoC does make me think of a
particular time in my life. It makes me think of my distant childhood in the
early 70s - the fragmented voices of adults and (mostly) children sound like
they found a technique to record the mental sounds of distant memories. The
evolving, somewhat funky beats and vague, unfinished twinkling melodies
evoke the experiences of being awash in (but not understanding) the music
and culture of the era. It's like being in the ghostly ruins of a media
culture, as perceived by a blind infant.
At least that's how it sounds to me.
