BOC rocks.....'the beach at redpoint' is a particular fav.

[oxide]

awesome! so, i'm not alone..

I sent them a film I made which i scored with track from geogaddi.. in the letter, i requested that they send this thing;

to come pick me up.. :}
cause i want to join the turquoise hexagon.

One of my all time favourites. The best music to listen to in a dark room, while going to sleep or needing to chill.

'manitoba' is my fav boc track :)

[oxide]

that's not a track by b0c to my knowledge.. and mine is rather extensive. may be a mislabeling, or, possibly relates some how to the artist; manitoba.. who is on leaf records and actually lives in manitoba, unlike b0c, who live in a nuclear bunker with their cult in scotland.. though they did live in canada when they were kids.. and like canadian documentaries.

manitoba is also worth checking out. his sound style is similar to the boards in it's childlike and simple feel. i'm sure he takes a lot of inspiration from their sound.

that, or it could be a fake. there have been a lot of fake b0c tracks released on the internet.

send it to me if you really want to know, and i can see if i can identify it.

i r ultra hexagon buff.

[starbright]

it's very possible that i could be mistaken on the name of the tune, since i'm relying on memory... i didn't dig up the track before making my previous post.
i think it is most likely a case of mis-labelling though, as it was a fav of mine when i downloaded it last summer so the name sticks in my mind.

unfortunately the file is on my old hard drive @ my parents house out in the burbs... i'll have to get my sister to send it to me in the next couple days.
add me to your msn & i'll send it to you too... just because i'm curious now!

how about a runner up pick... 'julie and candy' or 'pete standing alone.'
the "crackly" breakbeats rule.

(ps - i am somewhat familiar with manitoba and like what i've heard of his stuff too. a fav would be 'dundas, ontario')

nice
i like Hi Scores

Y'know... The way IDM fans gush of BoC, you'd think they were the Tiesto of IDM.

That said, they ain't half bad.

[oxide]

trance and idm have nothing in common.. other than they are both electronic music

the genre is focused primarily on the production and listening.. and not as much DJing. there aren't many IDM djs..

most of the producers are reclusive and either live unbelievably lush lifestyles..... or they live with their parents.

[Sykonee]

Never said they did. I said the pedistal most idm fans put BoC on is on par with the pedistal trance fans put Tiesto on.

[oxide]

i can see that.
i like boc because they're so suited to the scenery we live in, for obvious reasons.
