I can see that, yeah. The kid voices returned at long last! :P

Either way I can imagine that the people at the Detroit transmission yelling "Yeaaaaah!" recognized it as BoC because of the aspects you mentioned; it resembles 2002-2006 era BoC more than anything else on TH, that's for sure.

more like "yeahhh that's right!" :D

but yes it does sound like a repurposed Geogaddi song with a drone added just to fit TH. I also noticed the melody sounds quite like "An Eagle In Your Mind." wonder if the rough sketch of the track existed further back than 2002...

Which makes sense since it is by far my favorite track on TH, and Geogaddi to me is their best effort ever, best of both worlds :)

Hands down my favorite track on Tomorrow's Harvest... probably one of my favorite tracks from the duo ever. Like others have said, it does remind me a bit of their stuff from Geogaddi.

Was anyone else reminded of Cold Earth during the Grace Jones bit of the Societas tape?

Specifically 50 seconds in or so in this video:

I knew there was something immediately recognizable about those synths when I first heard Societas x Tape!
