Put it on backwards and the voice will constantly repeat "Believe, Believe, Believe".

Speaking of this track- hadn't heard this guitar cover until today- I give it props.

That is a brilliantly descriptive... description!

The album is solid but I need to be in the right frame of mind to listen to it all the way through. I find, much like with their other albums, that I keep coming back to a select few tracks that stand on their own. Palace Posy is one of them, so is Come to Dust, Nothing is Real, and Sick Times.

Well the other night I watched a movie called "the soldier" from 1982, I fell in love straight away with its nuclear war theme and particularly the soundtrack by Tangerine Dream.
In one scene a track started and I immediately thought it sounded like Palace posy, particularly the beat and bassline.

The track can be found on Spotify, its named "Cue #7 - The soldier #3"

Have a listen and see what you think, Could have been inspiration for Palace Posy perhaps.. Nonetheless it's a cool track, defo old tunes vibes for me

Oh yeah, the kick drum and bass synth is very similar. Nice spot.

So frigging good, sounds like calming psychedelics underwater. with a bit of devil in the details choppy waves of hypnosis.

my favorite track on TH too

They nail the beautiful tonal shift at 2:32, makes me a little teary how good it is

Somehow you're exactly right and I won't be able to unsee when I hear the song. Doubt this is the type of synesthesia they're trying to capture but whatever

I love whenever BOC gets weird like they do on this track.

Cannot wait for the weirdness and controversial track on the next album

Yeah, solid track, especially in the context of the record. I love the abrupt start after Collapse. What can you say, listened to it many times. Otherwordly

I came here just to say that I think it's wild that this is the most blatant vocal sample on the album after Nothing is Real and we're still speculating on WTF it says and where it's from.

The logo broadcast is a nice guess.

Hold on, because I can’t really describe why it made me feel this way aside from both of the samples having stutter-esque FX on them, but is it possible that the vocal sample in Palace Posy is related to the vocal sample that comes in halfway through Nlogax?

I see a lot of similarities between Hi Scores and Tomorrow’s Harvest in songs like Nlogax and June 9th.

I wouldn't be surprised, I feel like I can hear it now that you pointed it out. Also they do have a pattern, rare albeit, to reference or reuse certain samples in other songs

I think it might boil down to the simplest answer here: they heard it and put it in the track because it sounded cool chopped up

The thing is, occam’s razor doesn’t typically apply to an album this dense, or BOC in general, which is how we keep finding things decades after they’ve been released. :mrgreen:
