They’ve already started work on a new boc record. They still have a contract for three more records at Warp. Mike: “the next record will come as a shock to everyone. No one will expect this from us.” And there are also some plans for live shows with a proper band in Spring. But the same rumor was there three years ago. And then they went silent.
What if the next album features an actual band playing BOC music? I noticed a lot of tracks in Societas were bands playing BOC-like music too. Songs like Prospect or Vulcan Mind Probe, for instance, have that minimalistic synth sound but done with an actual ensemble.
For the record, here's what my BOC Big Band would consist of:
Marcus Eoin: Guitar
Mike Sandison; Synths
Mark David Garrett: Drums
Peter Ian Campbell: Triangle (Somebody was making those "ting" sounds in Sometimes)
