Album of the year for myself, bought the twin red vinyl edition version with a signed booklet and poster & two t-shirts/cap from Bleep (for a mates kid), I’ve been listening to the mixed version and the album………it’s been played at least 3 or 4 times/day since release and I’m still just as excited with it.

Good indepth breakdown of the tracks below

And fantano likes it as well

Cool, BOC fan! *bro fist

What’s fascinating is how for so many of us BoC feels nostalgic and transporting to the past. I grew up in Canada, so I recognize the synthesizers and vibe from various NFB and Government films.

In fact the BOC guys have cited some of those short films with Alain Clavier’s strange synth accompaniment, to be a major influence.

You can really hear it… and get the overall vibe of the mood and time they go for ….in these old clips here:

So it’s not surprising, their music gives a nostalgic memory to old fogies like me.

But I have wondered whether it also brings a sort of nostalgia to younger people who do not experience the period BOC is often referencing.

I tried asking my son (27) if it produces that effect with him and he said yes. But that’s because I’ve been playing the tracks in our car trips ever since he was little. So for him BOC invoke his childhood as well, and looking out the window, seeing Canadian nature passing by on trips to cottages, etc, with BOC playing.

He’s a fan. And whereas I instantly got hooked on the new album, he’s just warming up to it.

Just ordered the thing:

A smol groovebox type thing with drums and 303 and sampling. Let's see what comes of it!

It will fit right into there:

Wow, that seems like a versatile unit with classic drum sound and lots of other stuff. The 303 sounds pretty good too. I have the original, somewhere... I've kind of lost it!

You "lost" your OG 303? Blasphemy!

My very first synth was a groovebox too, roughly the same concept

Back in 1997 that was the bee's knees lol. Drums, bassline, sequencer, instant Techno. Let's see what 30 years difference and development do hehe. Looking forward! Self-contained boxes like that are a lot of fun and the Sonicware box seems to sound awesome too!

Found out about a very good Greek radio station that plays electronic music. Their selections are great.

Yes, but it was a long time ago... (now where is that crying emoji when you really need it?!)

Cool, I've never tried such a box. Anyway, very much looking forward to hearing your new unit in action!

It looks like you're approaching a rather complete setup for music production.

You know how it is... "I need this one more thing and then I can finally start making music" lolll

The summer solstice (for those of us on this side of things) is approaching, so I think it's time to unleash yet another birdie num num track.

Now, turn that volume knob just a little bit higher and you're good to go.

Something I hadn't listened to in ages - Sonic Animation - Orchid for the Afterworld - Afterworld (from The Nothingness on).

It's been a trip back in time ripping our old cd collection!

So, it came on Saturday.

Very cool machine! Two big strengths: sounds fat and punchy straight out of the box, and most importantly very nice to use. Very logical, quick and easy, terrific sequencer optimised for performance. They put a lot of thought into usability.

Crammed together a quick Electro-Acid jam tonight with my usual go-to rhythms. Live jam riding on one pattern using variation system and mutes:

Recorded directly on phone using its USB audio interface. Works nicely, and there isn't even any DAC and ADC in the way. ASR loves this trick

Man, what a great little thingie, highly useful and just what I was looking for, for the foundation of me musics. Big fun, and I haven't even touched the sampling part yet. Above jam from internal sounds only.

Wow, this is so cool! You get things done fast and it sounds very good. I'm impressed!
