While I may not agree with you Neville, I sometimes DO find that the hype surrounding how 'amazing' EYDIAB is blown a little out of proportion. A great track, but certainly not their best in my opinion.

The first minute is complete and utter beauty, but the rest of the track is just ok.

I find it to be superficially really repetative and not terribly interesting. It is certainly unique in BoC's catalogue though


When you're not in the mood, "Zoetrope" is quite too long and gently boring (and yet, "In a beautif place" remains one of my favorite BOC Cds, don't ask why). Same mixed feelings with "The campfire headphase"'s last track ("Farewell fire", not the japanese edition bonus).

i seem to like the (around) 2ish minute melody tracks that boc spread throughout their albums even better than the longer "full" tracks....they just seem more bizzare..deeper..

There is no such thing for me as the worst BOC track ever For me it's good or fantastic



...i could not agree more...out of every one of their tracks ever produced (that ive heard at least) each and every one keeps the near perfect standard of deepness beauty and melody..."chinook" just happens to be the only one that id say is almost noticably less than meeting their regular standard, if that makes sense..

Sorry but in my opinion yr wrong :!: :wink:

I'd expected as much Ross, in particular considering that 'Twoism' shares a common vocal sample (and
possibly percussive elements) with 'Spectrum'.


Amo Bishop Roden is a fantastic BoC track Ross Adey, grow up :!:

Shame on you! :x

Amo Bishop Roden is absolutely brilliant. It's just too bad it's followed up by Zeotrope, which just drags for me.

the only track i always skip is zoetrope....kind of mindless for me..though the concept of the relation of the music to a zoetrope is still very good.
