I figured there may be a fans around here. Anyone know what these two are up to? They haven't released anything in years.
Anyone in Scotland see them playing live shows or anything anymore?

they apparently have a new album and some kind of compilation of unreleased back-catalogue stuff due - but that's been rumoured for years now.
they def need to return. long over due.
vhs-head and onra's latest stuff is as close to BOC I've come across in the meantime...

Love them and would like to hear some new stuff. Hopefully...

I've heard that "a new album is in the works" for the last couple of years... also "the new album is done, but there have been delays".
I'm happy with what they given us, so I can't complain.

1998/ MHTRTC
2001/ Geogaddi
2005/ Campfire Headphase... a little late but not far off schedule. progressively slower.

I don't see how bands ever expect to make it when they disappear for half a decade. It's a miracle anyone remembers after that long.

BOC pretty much created a "feel" in a way that countless bands have mimicked ever since - the originators are always remembered. Being on warp can't hurt either.

BOC and Radiohead, two bands you can always count on being played to death in a design studio...

I loved them once, 'til Neue introduced me to broad spectrum cynicism - now I don't even bother getting up in the morning.

Yeah, as a little kid I grew up watching those old, crusty science films and such and I always thought the music was cool in them. BoC sort nailed that tape warble sound style like old science or educational films from the 70s and early 80s.
That designer guy, Scott Hanson has an album out that sounds almost dead on like BoC. It's released under the name TYCHO. Pretty damn good as a BoC stand-in for the time being.

- cool, no idea that was on here.
If you're still around here TYCHO, good job and you need to put another album out too.formula - Last login: 3 years ago.duckofrubber

The "Chameleon" track that appeared this week on iTunes is not by BOC, it's a hoax.

Hi-Scores is great. MHTRTC is genius, a stone-cold classic. But then Geodaddi was only so-so and Campfire Headphase was ruined by those terrible guitar bits in it. I'll definitely listen to whatever's next, but I have low expectations and am more than happy to revisit the pre-Geodaddi stuff over and over (and over).
- terrible guitar bits? great addition imo. what you want them to just keep doing the same?inkpink
- inkpink0
@citysurgical... "ruined by those terrible guitar bits"... you're crazy.
- the introduction of more traditional/organic loops was perfect move for Campfire Headphaseinkpink
- It's all about execution, dude. Organic/inorganic is irrelevant. Tedious acoustic geetar did that record no favors.citysurgical
- Obviously they should evolve as artists, but those loops didn't sound "organic" at all. They sounded like Apple freebies.citysurgical
