>> Is BoC really so unique-sounding? On one level, isn't the entire output of >> Skam just an interesting and competent take on the various shades of >> Autechre? >That's why I kind of get fed up about with >people going on about the releases like they're the most important >pieces of music being made right now. BoC are the best on the IDM scene right now, imo. They have so specific programming, and sound so original and so '97/98 . . . >Enjoyable and quality but not very original. Who is ORIGINAL then ?!?! >Well, I don't know if I'd go that far, but it's definately retro. Who isn't RETRO ? >> While the BoC 12" on Skam was enjoyable, I thought both the melodies and the >> beats were piss-weak compared to prime Black Dog, a comparison made by >> someone at the time of its release. Again, and again, and again, you're never learn..... I think it's time for NSE (new school electronica) mailing list. The difference between BDP and BoC is that BDP sound 93/94 and BoC sound 97/98.... I don't have nothing against BDP, infact one the best albums, I've heard is 'Temple of ....' and one of the best 'choke and fly' by balil. But the thing is that BDP time has passed. Fuck it, I'll allways love their music, but children that are born in late eighties probably won't rate it so much. At the moment BoC are so much innovative than BDP is, they don't even exist anymore, it's just Ken now... So don't compare BDP's work from 93/94 with BoC's work, because it's ridiculous. Imagine that today is 1993. You have AI comp. and someone tells you : "Yeah, I've heard it, but this was all crated by Carl Craig (i.e.) few years ago. Music isn't what it's used to be." Mainly what I'm trying to say here is that BDP have totaly different influences and belong to different time that BoC do. And you cannot say that BDP have much better melodies or rhythms than BoC have. Fuck it again, you can think and listen to anything you like and want, who am I to advise you what you can or can't. These are just my toughts and I hope I didn't offend or hurt someones feelings, cos this wasn't my intention at all. with love, bye rob Music is timeless... ---> ha ha ha ha :-)
