A new BoC album automatically upgrades the musical year of it's release to 'fantastic', and this one proved no exception. Imbued with an almost cinematic feel and much more grandiose than it's predecessors, Tomorrow's Harvest saw the Scottish duo gently nudge aside their many imitators and set a new benchmark in electronic excellence. #BestOf2013 4
My thoughts after 3rd listen to the new #BOC album 'Tomorrow's Harvest' :
Theirs is a music that always evokes landscape and film to me. Here I see collapsed cities, blue sky desolation, the ghosts of activity and nature uprooting through the tarmac under a blistering sun. The search for a message, the search for a shred of hope perhaps somewhere underground, echoing through obsolete machines, secret radio transmissions. Perhaps in the static and in the garbled whispers of the past something can be learned?
This is the lost Sci-Fi/Horror soundtrack of a world to come, a future world (closer than we think) that we all fear and ignore at our peril. This is an album beamed back at us, not just as a warning, but with the glimmer of a guiding light always present through the cracks in the enveloping darkness.
