I'm more and more fascinating by my parrents, who lived more than a half of a century and still have something to live for. This is amazing.

The world is goinf to recycle us. Our beliefs, dreams. Everything is temporary. We are slave to this world. We are slaves to our own created rules.


You're only a slave if you fully believe in the game of life and take life and your story very serious. When you start to see it's just a game and it isn't going anywhere (you will lose everything, soon or late) you will start falling in love with life as it is more and more. Why? Because it just is. It's a beautiful mysterious, divine mess. And there is eternal grace in the midst of that.


Good words. I think when you lost the last magic in your life, you are done. Still. The way how older generation still can hold the torch, is inspiring to me. I think people from the past, had less things in life to enjoy, than our generation. But it turns out, we are who seems are more unhappy.

It seems that the motif used for Semena Mertvykh is a common one in these old 80's movie soundtracks. Pretty cool

I'm surprised to see this album finally get topic uploads on YouTube, as well as a lot of other newer Warp releases (such as Plaid's Digging Remedy and Autechre's NTS Sessions) AND older compilation albums like WAP100 and Plaid's Trainer! It makes me happy since I usually listen to music on YouTube's topic uploads since it has the best quality of sound compared to a fan upload rip.

Anyway, I realized Jacquard Causeway is one of my favorite BoC songs of all time. Love the pattern that song has and discovered I can let my mind focus on a couple bits where it sounds like it's not in rhythm with everything else to trick my mind. It's lots of fun.

same here dude! JC blew my dome off! It is such a cerebral song. Hearing that tune made me very happy because for me, It was them returning to their abstract psychedelic roots... their use of Hemiola and looped Counterpoint to me in this track is genius. I can hear them “controlling” speed and pitch at specific intervals which shifts the tempo and time signature every so slightly... the crunchy keys and flutes are fantastic and remind me of the tone of “Oirectine” and “Smokes Quantity” mashed with the weirdness of “Basefree” or “Gyroscope” but not quite as wild...
please, BoC... more obscured tunes like this....

“Laughing Quarter” by Autechre reminds me of TH a lot... in tone and the driving forward feeling reminds me of Cold Earth... love it!

This album sounds better every time I hear it. Truly a magnificent piece of music... a wake up call/narrative of what we are currently experiencing in the world... sounds awesome shuffled with Geogaddi

The more I listen to it the more I start to realize this is their best album to date. As much as I love their older work, TH just hits all the right notes. The sound production is second to none.

I still love to put this album before going to sleep. Listening to it on a very low volume, trying to decipher all these strange sounds. My favorite sequence is Sick Times-Collapse-Palace Posy. And Sick Times is overall the best track on the entire record!

I think they're all A+ depending on what the mood of the listener is in. They are all equally beautiful and awe-inspiring through different ways and means.

That being said, I couldn't be more excited to see what kind of direction the next album will go in. I will welcome any direction whether it be melancholic, uplifting, scary, or anything in between. I couldn't be more curious, though, to wonder what the overall feel will be like.

I've taken a little break from listening to them every day, just out of fear that I will "wear them out." Every time I return from a slight hiatus (usually no more than two weeks or so), I find their music to be refreshed and even better than I remember it to be (which I definitely exalt).

2020 would be my guess for the next drop, but then again, wtf do I know at this point :P

Yes, the mood, but in my opinion not only this. It is also depending on what is happening in your life and in the world overall. The "shit hit the fan" almost right after the TH was released. That;s why it had very strong apocalyptic vibes when it was released, almost like a feeling of something big is coming. Their other albums also depending on a mood very strongly, but in my opinion Tomorrow's Harvest nailes it. It maybe not their best album musically, but with the strongest atmosphere for sure!

Agreed, Arvy! For me it has the strongest and most vivid atmosphere of any album I've ever heard. The only albums I can think of that come close to the same league are some of the works by that dreampunk collab "2814."

Tomorrow's Harvest has more of a transparency to the sound and better stereo imaging than all of their other albums.

This must be the most lucid post I've ever seen from you, Xaugh.

These were the words I was looking for. Not to say TH is better than the other albums, but it is certainly different in that regard which is why it stands out a bit for me.
