seems to be the densest, most overlooked track thus far....

anyone hearing the Apparatus influence at the end there? seriously

[aaron.stowe]

havent heard the album yet. where can i find this?!

[armotron]

this... is the sounds of alchemical processes unseen; aural alchemical transmutation, and the most futuristic-sounding track i've heard from them yet.

definitely reminds me of Telephasic Workshop, speaking of the alchemical vibes; not at all in terms of the production, but in the images it brings to mind.

Split Your Infinities is a way underappreciated track. I enjoyed it a lot, to me, it stood out beyond them all and is sort of the high point of the album, after that you have the other best tracks on the album as well, and jacquard causeway, well, he kicks major ass. ;P

[Helios]

This is one of my favorites. The second half blows me away.

Edit: Listening to this now with headphones with the volume cranked up..it's night time, and really fucking with me!

[Betacord]

Immediately likeable for having one of the best and richest-sounding intros on the album, if not the best.

[In_The_Annexe]

I love the grotesquely distorted vocal samples in this one too, kind of reminds me of the women's voice from the devil is in the details... the hypnotist or whatever.

[Ed209]

Easily one of my favorite tracks from TH. It reminds me of Sarah Connor freaking out on a chain link fence a la Terminator 2. Full Cyberdyne systems. Synths are so lush. A respite, of sorts from the goofiness of Palace Posy.

[Vordhosbn]

Very sci-fi. Makes me think of flying through unknown star systems, picking up alien transmissions.

[PlatrixECV]

My favorite track of album initially. Love the way the trilling melody modulates between minor and major keys. Inscrutable emotions.

[subset]

This was my favourite track from the album too.

And it pains me to say this but - the brilliant "Reach for the Dead" aside - "Split Your Infinities" was the ONLY track off the entire album that I actually liked last night... I'm truly confused guys... I don't know why, I don't know what happened... There were moments I was in utter disbelief that I was actually listening to my most favourite band...

I'll certainly postpone final judgement on the album until I accumulate a massive amount of proper listens for which purpose I'll wait for the CD and avoid the rips. I so much hope it's a grower and that it was me who, for whatever reason, didn't truly hear the subdued brilliance that has always been there in BoC's music.

To end on a positive note though and to get back on topic - "Split Your Infinities" was indeed beautifully disturbing!

[Headphase]

Woah.
This has to be my favourite off of the album so far
I love that pad, and the chords used. Amazing.

[In_The_Annexe]

I seriously felt that this track was the best on this album, overall. Followed closely by New Seeds, Nothing is Real, Jacquard Causeway, Come to Dust and White Cyclosa.

Damn, I have no idea why people are saying they didn't like this album. Honestly, I thought it was marvellously done. Not one of the tracks were bad, they were all solid and this album was actually way better then headphase, In my opinion.

Don't get me wrong, I love headphase but this was a nice return to their old tunes and music has the right to children era. They really impressed me with this one.

I think many people who aren't initially blown away are having a hard time adjusting to the vibe of the album. IMO, this album has a different kind of scariness to it than previous ones. I don't even know if I could effectively describe my thoughts on the matter, but this album doesn't have that "shit I'm really high and this is freaking me out" feel. This has a legit freaked out tone to it, and you don't have to be under the influence to feel it. There aren't many warm, fuzzy, nostalgic moments. I don't feel like I'm delving through an emotional past lifetime. It's very sci-fi and futuristic, 1984 and Cold War, while previous albums had The Past Inside the Present. It's deep and psychedelic like previous albums, though. It's still as powerful as everything else BoC has done. It does have its moments that remind me of past tracks, such as Nothing Is Real, but In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country it's not. I see reflections of the current state of global affairs in this album, and the truth is we live in scary times. We have threats of nuclear war again, and we have Monsatan trying to to control the world with deadly GMO seeds in hopes to have the ultimate control over all peoples of the earth. This album speaks that to me through its sound. This album is absolutely brilliant.

glad someone else actually knows what the concept of this album is about. From what I've seen, a lot of people haven't really digested the message yet, they still think it's just another BOC album.

There's a definite theme and narrative to TH. Each will have their own slightly different take on it but the overall impression will be cohesive. I'm still putting my own version together before writing about it.

exactly, the album was very engaging and hard hitting with messages. This is definitely a concept album.

It was mentioned in another thread that the color of the CD is yellow with black letters. Yellow and black, the color of bees. GMO seeds are killing bees rapidly. If the bees die, nothing gets pollinated. If nothing gets pollinated, things will become barren quickly. I'm generalizing. It's much more detailed than this, but this gives more of an idea.

yes, GMOs, seem to be a lot of the focus of Tomorrow's Harvest.

Like mentioned before this gives quite the scifi feeling of a robot army or something marching and stomping everything on their way. Synthline in the bottom sounds like fleeing people. And in the end there is still this little beacon of light, like some sort of transmission / hopeful melody. One of my favorites right here.
