kid for today - 4:58-5:10... amazing
Fri Mar 29, 2013 1:09 pm
Woke up this morning to a sunny day and just felt the need to listen to IABPOITC (the song) several times because the weather has put me right in the mood for it and had to go back and find this thread because that awesome moment at 4:29 when the little solo organ comes in for a few seconds has specifically been going round in my head all morning. It's weird how certain days you just wake up really in the mood for a certain song because of a particular moment in it.

I have a very pressing question. It is my favorite specific moment:
The end of Satellite Anthem Icarus in REVERSE.
It sounds extremely familiar to me...it must be some kind of adaption of something else...another one of their songs? I can't put my finger on it...

When I first heard "9 3 6 5 5 7" it instantly replaced whatever I said my previous favorite moment was.

Those first couple of flourishes in Roygbiv and the following bit are beautiful. The parts at 0:35, 0:46 and 0:57-1:00; dunno if it's been mentioned but I seriously hope it has.
Pretty much the whole of Smallest Weird Number from 0:11 on.
The transition in Everything You Do ...

Rue the Whirl, right around 4:35 when the drum loop starts over.

Just before and during the beat drop of Left Side Drive (0.25 - 0.33)

I find the final bit of piano at the end of Olson hauntingly gorgeous.
It feels like someone floating away from you into the ether, but not in a bad way, like you know they're ok.

That's a good way to put it.

Off the top of my head....
The first few seconds of Ready Let's Go
The slide-projector clicks in Kid For Today
The 1st time you hear the seagull in Happy Cycling
The guitar in the outro of '84 Pontiac Dream - such a lovely warm tone, this is one of my favourite moments in music, full stop.

Forgot to add:
The woozy fairground-ride style noise in Dawn Chorus that reminds me of My Bloody Valentine

I love the vocal bit of Dawn chorus
I love the ending of Rue The Whirl
I love the chorus of Oscar see through red eye

THAT is the moment! Such an amazing tease. I want it to open up into longer melody so bad but I mustn't be greedy I know. Its just so perfect. If it did go off more there, would it be too indulgent? It leaves me eternally wanting more yet somehow I am sated as well. Sigh...

I love the bassy beowowowowowow in the middle of Sixtyten as well....

One of my favourite specific moments is on You Could Feel the Sky when the beat stops and everything becomes clear, and all of the sudden a sort of trival singing appears out of the blue. That was the moment that turned me from an occasional listener to someone who got what BoC and Geogaddi was all about I think. I was getting into the band but I wasn't a great fan of the album, I just liked some tracks on it, but after hearing that small moment I felt so amazed that the rest of the music just fitted right in with me.
Another moment I really like is the last part of Turquoise Hexagon Sun when the background vocals become clearer, but not clear enough to actually understand what they're talking about. Genious track in my opinion.

There are tons of favorite specific spots in BoC's music. But I thought I would throw an oddball out there....
I think the last 2 instrumental minutes of BoC's remix of Beck's "Broken Drum" starting at 3:35- till the end, is the most beautiful sound I have ever heard.

The really high-pitched reverberating synth line that come in part way through Smokes Quantity. Haunting is the only way I can describe it. I think it's one of the most understated BoC moments.
The eerie undertones piping up during Diving Station. So intensely wonderful. Makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.
The last phase of Happy Cycling, which condenses all the greatest feelings which BoC's music produces across several layers of awesomeness. In the truest sense of the word.

I haven't seen the beginning of Carcan nor the entirety of 5-9-78 mentioned yet... They're both just so... I don't know. Not so sure I can even describe these two in english, much less any other language. Listening to these two is when I question if BoC are even human. As in, how could something that exists on this planet create something so euphoric and delightful? I have no idea.
