The early albums will probably be quite generic and disappointing.

Ever listen to R35TT? Pretty good spoilers there for those "early albums", if you ask me...

R35TT has some real treats, but like I already said, I find a lot of the already released early stuff to be, well, not all that great.

A Few Old Tunes could well be in the running for my favourite BoC record. The diversity on it is amazing, and I love every single track, bar none.

This is more of a confession than an opinion but I need to say it.

Aside from a select few, I'm crap with BoC titles. I know the tracks, and I know the titles, but most of the time I don't know which goes with which.

This is not a problem for me, because I don't ever talk to anybody about BoC (except maybe you guys but then I have time to prepare).

About half their stuff I'm exactly the same. I could even probably do a half decent cover from memory but I'd struggle with the names of half their tracks.

Cos of er... reasons, I only heard the full MHTRTC like, this year, maybe last year I forget. I was missing two tracks. Mentioned that at the pub before the Twoism meet though and fucked up the track names even then, I had to borrow someone's ipod to cheat :) (Smokes Quantity and Open The Light, by the way).

I don't like Aquarius at all
and I listen to BoC even when I don't want to listen to them.

This is the same with me for Campfire, and to some extent, TH. I'm only now getting to know the names of the Campfire Headphase tracks I've loved for ages by making a conscious effort to. To be honest, the music speaks for itself most of the time.

my, now, controversial BoC opinion is that Hi Scores 2014 was re-mastered poorly.

On the digital release I can't hear too great a difference, but the vinyl edition I have sounds great. How do you think it was poorly done?

Somehow, not hearing it at all I feel inclined to believe you, just due to the nature of remasters today. Still, I don't know.
Okay...now...wait for fog machine.

I agree with you.

Having grown accustomed to my 1998 CD version, my ears told me that the remaster boosted the bottom end and comparatively made it sound swampy at the expense of some top end definition.

I actually deleted it and reverted back to my CD.

Having said that, if Chinook and Korona were released digitally with the same re-master quality, I'd snap their hand off!

In a few years time, I'm sure record companies will start releasing 'original master' product. Lol! :D

Heard from Telegraph Lines is one of their best tracks, short or long.

I cant listen to the very first few songs off AFOT because I have an insane fear of PC. Like when I put my phone on shuffle I can't fucking bear it because I might hear PC.

It sucks and I really don't know why

TCH has always been my favourite aswell, some people do give it some shit, but there's enough people that like TCH.
