New BOC album, single or EP?

[DocteurOrlof]

Furthermore, how often do they release a "proper" single? I would put my money on a new EP, especially since they seem to be focused on the future direction of their music, or at least that's the impression they give in their interviews.

A few months after Music has the right to children came a Peel Session, followed by the EP In a beautiful place... in 2000. And then, nothing until Geogaddi
A few months after Geogaddi came the reissue of Twoism. And then nothing until The campfire headphase.
So, if all this makes sense, logically the next release will be a EP. And if they say it will be a "surprise" for many people, and if they say there will probably be a video track, maybe it will sound more like their live sets... Or maybe there will be a guest star on vocals...
But only one thing is sure: we'll have to wait and see... and wait... and see... and wait... and wait... and wait...

there was Hi-scores aswell which was really really hard to find at the time. will never forget getting them two rererereleases on the day of release. I hated them at the time. but loved them after a few months as usual with boc.
maybe they will release this dayvan thing and then something else later in the year. as i say you just dont know with BoC

"The Downtempo Duo" - by Heiko Hoffmann
Originally appeared in Pitchfork, September 2005

he mentions it at the end of his answer...

So what took you so long? When Geogaddi came out you were saying that the new album was already half finished.
Mike: We both relocated and built new studios. That took us about a year. Then I became a father last year and that was another year lost. Personal things happen in everyone's lives and you find that it's very difficult to get on with work. That was part of the problem.
But it's correct that we had done a lot of work on this record by the time Geogaddi came out. We have this system of working where we never work in a linear fashion. We work parallel on lots and lots of music at once.
Marcus: Instead of starting on one song and working on it until its finished we have hundreds of songs on the go at one time and depending on our mood we try working on different ones. We both have pretty short attention spans.
Mike: We always have enough material for several other albums but what tends to happen is that our tastes move on and we kind of get fed up with what we're doing. We actually have a huge amount of music that people will probably never get to hear.
Marcus: It's just another manifestation of this schizophrenic problem, trying to do too many things at once.
Mike: We also started working on an acoustic version of Music Has the Right to Children years ago and it still exists.
Marcus: The reason why we haven't put something like this out is that it can seem like a retread of something you've already done.


After looking at it again..maybe that wont be it...but we know it exists....how cool would that be to hear that...
telephasic workshop?? can you imagine...

[Derail]

This would be interesting to hear, but we probably never will. How crazy would an acoustic version of Geogaddi be?

[The Other]

acoustic geogaddi? count me...id like to hear it...

[nlogax]

arrggh i hate being out of the loop however, i also think it'll be something big.

that....or they're just playing with our feeeelings not the first time it's happened

We can only guess what the next release will be and that's it

[Mr Sheep]

And of course there's always this quote from the HUMO interview...

"- they plan on releasing an EP next year and maybe the comp. box (1987-1995 stuff). In their own words: "we'll probably do it with Warp"

Just release the whole shebang, you know you want to!
