As mad as it is, if you zoom to the to right of the picture, there appears to be a shape of a child which looks like it's stroking a few animals I can't quite make it out, this could be complete coincidence, I wish I knew how to post a pic to try and point it out see if anyone else spots it. It's probably a case of just making shapes out in clouds but you never know. (the darker picture)

Physics degree

I see the hexagon now on a better screen. Its just a result of the lens used to take the photo.

the track that would fit perfectly to TH's theme is Under the Coke sign. It's just so nihilistic, hopeless, grey.

It's amazingly warm, reminds me of all my past summers and lost childhood lol

Also has this theme of "fun's over boys, get to work now"

Anyone discovered the turquoise "hexagon" on the cover art?

Any idea this is a distortion after adjusting the brightness and contrast? Was just doodling around photoshop anyway. :P


I really love these low contrast versions! Nice one :D

think the first and last sections are the strongest

cold earth and palace posy are both killer

wonder what's up with the remastered older material?

yeah it has that ethereal flow feeling in between first and last, musically and sonically, but the middle is very strong, I love it, how Collapse draw you in to some portal and then spit you out in to Palace Posy, one of the favorites moments on the album,

I was thinking, don't know actually if my point is relevant here, but I feel that I miss more natural sounds on TH, field/live recordings, the sounds here are isolated, the synths kind of radioactive and it all feels that it was recorded somewhere in deep bunker. To the comparison, one of my favorite records from the last year, Forest Swords - Engravings has that live outdoor feeling, you can feel the earth and wind, if it was recorded somewhere in the fields.

Wow! I just found this weekend that a new BoC album has been out for one and a half *%&!§ years!

Damn!

I've been listening to this over and over since Saturday, and I cannot seem to stop. At first, I did not even like it, really, except for Reach for the Dead, but still I could not stop.

This album was kind of a shock for me. One the one hand, it is - to me, at least - a masterpiece. On the other hand it must be the bleakest album I have listened to since the Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails.

I still feel a bit overwhelmed, tough. One and a half *years*. I have got some catching up to do.

Doesn't work. My daughter has grown up listening to BOC, Neil Young, Shadow; all the good shit I can get my hands on.

Her first choice in the car is Let it Fucking Go every fucking time.

They really did a great job with this pressing. Sounds so rich all the way through the frequencies.

Chiming in to say that this remains a truly remarkable album.

My head is getting pulled all over the place!

I love how the White Cyclosa gives me the panoramic view, the helicopter sound and the the melody makes a weird combination of sadness and comfort, it's also very cinematic, and Jacquard Causeway is monolithic and punchy, it's also methodical. If White Cyclosa is something we watched from our panorama view, like entertainment, so Jacquard Causeway is something beneath, it's keep doing its work, it has combination of cold program rhythm and very sad melody, almost dying sounds, it's very sad, but the track don't stop, it's keep the pace, these two tracks have the most visible memories from TH for me, I still remember when I heard it for the first time I was thinking that I never heard anything like this before...amazing!

I haven't listened to the album since, maybe, July of last year. It's quite forgettable

If you've genuinely not listened to it since a month after it came out, and not just trying to be a smart arse, I'd suggest you've missed out. Still, taste and opinions again. Takes all sorts I guess.

I've only listened to Palace Posy and Nothing is Real, not the album
