Described in early interviews by Michael Sandison as "[reflecting] a chaotic period in [their] personal lives" (OOR, 2002), the brothers have subsequently admitted that the turmoil of the 9/11 terrorist attacks significantly influenced the tone and direction of Geogaddi. Said Michael Sandison:

"Geogaddi was kind of exorcising demons, and even after we'd set out to do a record like that, smack in the middle of working on it, 9/11 happened. I remember there were a few of us in the studio that day, and we just ended up glued to the TV for the whole day. I think the months after that pushed us into making a darker record, as I'm sure it did with a lot of bands." (Play Louder, 2005)


https://bocpages.org/wiki/Geogaddi

Of the 23 tracks that ended up on the album BoC has said they had 90+ to choose from so I think it's reasonable that it could've been significantly restructured
What I was inferring was that most of the tracks themselves were close to completion as they were. I imagine this is why Julie And Candy ended up sounding the way it did versus the live version. They probably felt it could use a more chaotic sound after the attack happened. They kinda said it themselves that they were already planning on making a darker and more introspective album. I wouldn't be surprised if Geogaddi was mostly droning ambient before 9/11

I guess it's all a moot point by now, though. :|

Hi my friend. Still planning my expedition into the future so I can burn you guys a bunch of cd-rs and cassette tapes of BOC's new album in 2023-2024. It might make the wait for the new BOC album a bit less painful.

However I hope this doesn't create a time loop where I bring the album back to the past and thus, I will it into existence in the present. But you know what they say: the future inside the present.

I'm also going to make a movie called BOC to the Future which involves my time travel shenanigans
Warning: This numerology post is not to be taken 2 seriously.

Just watching as this forum gets less and less busy… things are definitely starting to wind down. Fingers crossed we’ll have something from them soon that we can all talk about.
Ooooo, it's pink!

I think we need to fast from this site for a while. Let's check back in on Halloween... or maybe later, like Thanksgiving (Harvest time). Nobody post anything... don't even post that you agree with my sentiment. Let's just have silence. Trust me.

Not the whole site eh? Drastic times and drastic measures Davism!

Are you mindful of the other subforums that are here like This Random Sound & The Playground. :wink:

warp tweet out "are you sitting comfortably?" Hopes right up then find in the comments it's the artificial intelligence compilation they're likely repressing :'(

It's the A.I. repress. The font together with the green background match the A.I. cover, as well as the cover featuring a character sitting comfortably :)

AI2 was better, IMHO. One of the three CDs I had in hospital while recovering from being paralyzed and I played the hell out of it that whole summer. Warp were unstoppable around then.
