I listen to them for 23 years...since I was 15 and I accidentally saw Dayvan Cowboy Videoclip on local TV.It changed my life23 years later, this morning at 6:30, I pulled out portable 320kb 96bit DAC, connected it with myphone with Moondrop IEMs, and started Inferno on Tidal.I wasn't checking the track names. The fact that I could hear BoC painted all of over the place was enough.They even included that cool sound which is like when you step on neck of TV...The album ended and I felt asleep for another 2 hoursAnd now I'm writing this comment, so you do know someone else who understands the HEXAGON Have a blessed day Stranger
>>130475076I listen to them for like 3 years and Inferno mogs The Campfire Headphase and wipes the floor with TH it's on par with MHTRTC and only below Geogaddithis is the correct opinion, because I'm not attached by nostalgia to any of their previous albums
>>130475701>Inferno mogs The Campfire Headphaseretard spotted
>I felt asleep
>>130475710>t. obvious nostalgiafag
>>130475765i got into BOC three years ago so shut up fag, if you think inferno is better than TCH you are seriously retarded.
I just realized even the Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan features Indian drums at some point
>>130475781Inferno could definitely get rid of some of the voice samples for the greater good, but apart from that yes, it totally mogs The Campfire Easy Listening
>>130475953double retard, the vocal samples is one of the more interesting parts in inferno>it totally mogs The Campfire Easy Listeningno
Feels good not being that big of a BoC fan. Imagine convincing yourself this shit is somehow a good album.>InfernoLmao
I’ve been feeling burnt out lately. The work just keeps piling on, and never feels finished.A few weeks ago, there were rumors, as there always are, that there might just be more music coming from BoC. I’ve had a few favorite bands over the years, but lately BoC has risen to the top slot. My relationship with BoC’s music started with Geogaddi back in 2002, which was introduced to me by a dear friend.When the tapes dropped, I was excited, but tried not to get my hopes up. Then the new song broke. I was over the moon, but like the rest of us, really wanted more. (I have to say, whoever worked with them on this release did an exceptional job, between the art and strategy.)I have never worked harder in my life than I am right now. An extremely difficult week ended the same day as the listening party. As Inferno started playing over the speakers, my stress just melted and I entered a dream. I can’t tell if it was the couple of drinks that I had, or just the beauty of the moment, I literally could not remember any songs from the album, except “Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan.” That one really stuck with me. I work with computers. And by proxy AI too. For whatever reason it feels that human moments have become more and more sparse. Yet, there I was, sitting in the room with a couple scores of perfectly still humans, in a church, meditating to modern day spirituality. For a moment, I stepped out of whatever body I existed in before. I get the feeling that I’m not alone. I think this moment in time is really tough for those of us who want to feel human. The pace of change is impossible, politics are a shit show, the news is depressing, but then we miraculously get a new BoC album. Is it too much to ask for another one? :D Maybe I should just continue to be grateful for what we have :)
This was a rare thing: a gathering of signals after thirteen quiet years, arriving almost like a transmission from somewhere we had stopped expecting to hear from.It would be a shame if all that feeling were left scattered across disappearing threads — fragments of excitement, jokes, theories, images, little shocks of recognition — each one drifting away on its own. There should be a place where we can keep them together: a small archive of the things that made us laugh, made us think, and, for a moment, made us feel that particular happiness again.Everyone must have an image — maybe several — that will one day act like a key. Something that, years from now, will open a door straight back to this moment: the first VHS release, the posters beginning to appear, the strange arrival of Tape 05, then those first two tracks breaking the silence.In years to come, we could look back and remember not only what happened, but what it felt like to be here while it was happening. To know that we saw the signs appear in real time. That we were part of the weather around it.All we need is a central place to hold the memories before they scatter.
I am a philosopher of mind and cognitive scientist by training and trade, and I was struck by the "carrier wave" sound paired with heartbeats during "I Saw Through Platonia." That sound pairing strongly indicates to me that Mike and Marcus have actually seen through "Platonia," as the declarative nature of the track title suggests.Research reveals that exact "carrier wave" sound as one of the most consistent commonalities of the DMT psychedelic experience. (DMT popularizer and "guru" Terence McKenna described it as akin to the sound of tearing cellophane.) Paired with heartbeats, it is clear to me that BoC are consciously drawing upon the DMT experience at this most crucial stage of the album -- the final track.Research has also shown that the phenomenology of DMT experiences has quite a few similarities to the phenomenology of near-death experiences. Many users report feeling as though they enter a realm between (or beyond) life and death. "I saw through Platonia" is exactly how a learned person might attempt to verbalize a DMT experience.(Also, the album is, in my view, a priceless treasure. It's so good that, if we ever send out another Voyager-style probe, I would nominate it for the audio on the gold record.)
