re: Geogaddi

This is a lush and complex release (mind you, arn't all of BOC's?), which takes
more than one listen. Also there is much more than meets the ear in this case.
Here BoC manage to compress a myriad of different textures and sounds within
the LP's complex mix to convey a beautiful sonic experience. Geogaddi consitantly
puts forth contradictions that allow us to discover, through further listenings,
the beauty of their music. For example, the music appears simple at first yet on
further listens it becomes complex. It appears, on early listenings to appear
quite retrospective with the samples they are using but the tracks relate far more
to what is happening in contemporary culture. It is as if BoC are really post-folk
rather than an IDM group.
Marvellous, buy this record!
