It's nice to see Nik giving more detail about his involvement with the Tangerine Dream people; I'd seen him mention that before but this loose association makes more sense. On the other hand, I didn't know that John Harrison had died, which is rather sad. Three now...

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: I just got tickets to the BOC Best Buy Theater show (I was surprised they didn't try to sell me an extended warranty :) Crazy that this Iridium gig is the same night: I see there's a ten o'clock show, and the BOC show is 7:30, so I may be able to catch some hot rails uptown in time. Frankly I wasn't going to fly from San Francisco for the BOC show. I like the current lineup more than some previous ones - well I haven't seen Kasim Sultan, but I don't imagine he alters the dynamic too dramatically - but "special guests" or not, this is more a promotional thing than anything else, IMO. However seeing that Al Pacino will be in previews of "Glengarry Glen Ross" on Broadway was the tipping point for me. SOLD! And the possibility of seeing Albert in a new configuration is the late-breaking icing on the cake :) -Chris From cea at CARLAZ.COM Tue Oct 2 08:34:40 2012 From: cea at CARLAZ.COM (Carl Edlund Anderson) Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2012 07:34:40 -0500 Subject: Nik In-Reply-To: Message-ID: On 01 Oct 2012, at 18:23 , Jonathan Jarrett wrote: > > On the other hand, I didn't know that John Harrison had died, which is rather sad.

Pasted below is what I posted on the AOL BOC board on the 25th anniversary. -------------------- Subject: 25 years, 5/8 of my life Date: Tue, Oct 6, 1998 21:26 EDT From: Chris Baker I realized that today marks the 25th anniversary of the first live rock and roll I ever experienced, BOC at NYC's Academy of Music. I walked in a fan of headliner Slade, largely on the basis of their live album; I had never heard a single BOC track. The first thing I noticed upon entering was the number of people wearing BOC shirts, plus a lot of home-made Cult symbols on denim jackets, etc. I hadn't given much thought to the openers before seeing all of this - I was dimly aware that they were on their home turf, but clearly the following they had was pretty fanatical; the Cult-identified audience members seemed pretty amped up. (I remember a [Rolling Stone?] review of the band's New Year's show at this venue that likened the ticket-holders' line to kids who "looked like they just shot their way out of a concentration camp"). Another phrase I recall from that piece: the band opening their set "as though shot from a cannon". It's interesting to read reviews from that era and see writers struggling to come up with apt analogies for what in retrospect was clearly a premeditated, unprovoked and unprecedentedly vicious assault on the senses. The band opened up with "The Red and the Black", although of course I didn't know its name (and certainly didn't glean it from the lyrics); all I knew was that my ribs were vibrating like tuning forks in lockstep to some kind of hyperventilating boogie-riff-gone-psychotic and it felt as though I'd stuck my head into a windtunnel during a test of a prototype multipercussive jet engine. Evil? This was beyond evil; this was distilled essence of metallic propulsion, jacked to the maximum, shorn of all sentiment, emotion, or reason, and delivered in interlocking / overlapping jackhammer tempos that imploded on themselves in a shrieking black maelstrom of corrosive rage and inhuman ferocity. This ex-altar boy had been waiting all his life for something that sounded like this, and just hadn't known it! All the clothes and instruments were black and white, it was as though the unholy wedding of velocity and earshredding volume washing offstage had sucked the optical spectrum dry, bled it of color? Everyone was in leather except the guitarist, who just stood there, eyes focused out beyond the lighting rigs on...Mars? Saturn? Who knew? But from the absurdly fast clip at which his hands and fingers moved, it was clear that he had at least temporarily given over control of his human husk to some advanced and sonically-hostile lifeform. Bolle Gregmar claims that this show provided the line about the whip that ended up on On Your Feet... I don't think he's correct, I don't believe that the band was recording for that album 18 months before its release. They played this same venue almost exactly a year later, which I find more likely. However I do remember Albert Bouchard's rap from behind the drum kit at one point: "So I'm driving along and I pick up this guy hitch-hiking...he sees the BOC sign on the dashboard and he says "Hey man, are you into the Cult?". I said, "I'm not just into them, man, I'm in them...I'm the drummer!" He says, "Far out, man!" ... Then I asked him "So how does our music make you feel? Does it make you feel good?...Or does it make you feel bad?" He thinks a minute and says, "Well, it don't make me feel good ... but then again, it don't make me feel bad... You know how it makes me feel? ...it makes me feel...(strange chuckle) ...it makes me feel....(ominous low laugh) ...it makes me feel...(certifiably insane cackle) ...IT MAKES ME FEEL.... EVILLLLLLL!!!!" And that's my introduction to "Cities on Flame". I can no longer remember how many days it took before the ringing left my ears...it was more than a couple, though, and I'd bought "Tyranny and Mutation" before they cleared up completely. And I managed to get to another three shows in the six months after this. I remember there was always one thing I told people about the band's performances: "they don't make any mistakes". Which wasn't true, of course, but the point is that I believed it was: such was the brutal efficiency of the bandss presentation and the high-wire audacity of their split-second sonic changeups. Thanks to all the current and past band members, who are responsible for a slew of the best live performances and studio recordings I have ever heard; and to all the other fans who have shared my enthusiasm over the years. I promise to write something shorter in 2023 :-) -Chris Baker -------------------- Two contemporary comments about my reaction to this show: hard to stress enough how shocked I was at the volume, which seemed like a physical force; I distinctly remember thinking "is it LEGAL to play this loud at an audience?". Of course a lot of that was never having seen a band live - but I think BOC were unusually extreme. I felt like I could hear everything, though, which hasn't been the case with frustratingly poor sound at a lot of shows over the years. The other was my friend and I talking about how the band didn't seem to have a "leader" - Eric and Buck were obvious focal points, but Albert was too, doing a lot of scene-stealing stuff behind the drum kit (sending sticks repeatedly flying high into the air, etc.) Seeing the band four months later - as they previewed "Secret Treaties" tunes on a bill with a self-immolating Iggy and the Stooges, and the Dictators in their second professional show - was the greatest night of rock and roll I've ever experienced. But this show was a close second. -Chris From altbouch at GMAIL.COM Sun Oct 7 09:32:54 2012 From: altbouch at GMAIL.COM (Albert Bouchard) Date: Sun, 7 Oct 2012 09:32:54 -0400 Subject: My 39th Anniversary In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Wow. What a good intro to cities! I'd forgotten all about that one. Of course, that was back in the days when everybody hitched. From when I left home to when I got a car of my own, a period of almost 5 years, that was my main means of getting around. Cool. Thanks Chris.

There's only so much old stuff rehashing I'm willing to accept. Enough's enough. I'd like for BOC to finally wake up and put out an album of new material again. Heck, has anyone noticed that it's now been longer since "Curse of the hidden mirror" (11 years) than between "Imaginos" and "Heaven forbid" (10 years) ? So damn frustrating!

I cannot, of course, fault Eric's and Buck's apparent decisions to "coast" with 2?C. I mean, it's not like they are beholden to me or anything. Why should they not run their side of things however they feel like. As Pippi L?ngstrump might say: "?r det inte ett fritt land?" ("Isn't it a free country?"). On the other hand, as a fan -- as a person who _likes_ to see new creations -- it's really not even a conscious choice for me what kind of approach I _prefer_ (or would prefer) ... :) Equally, I am not sure that I very much _like_ much of the recent HW output. But I at least _like_ that some bunch of guys is trying to do _something_. That way, there's at least a chance that they _could_ produce something I would like more. :) Al: Is Blue Coupe on Bandcamp or something? I know you're on iTunes :) but I still balk at buying less-than-CD-quality files for similar prices to CDs (as remains the case on iTunes). CD postal deliveries are effectively impossible in Colombia, so I need to go digital ... but I want to go as snobbishly upscale digital as possible. :) (Still, iTunes would be better than niTunes .... ;) Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/ From altbouch at GMAIL.COM Mon Oct 8 10:34:45 2012 From: altbouch at GMAIL.COM (Albert Bouchard) Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2012 10:34:45 -0400 Subject: BOC: the bonus discs content revealed In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Is bandcamp a higher quality output than iTunes?

Our latest single was mastered specifically for iTunes and unlike the old days, they do the converting if you send them an aiff or wav. As far as I can tell, Bandcamp is more DIY kinda thing than iTunes -- but equally, the artist or re-presentatives or whatever upload WAVs or AIFFs, and the site the site turns into lower bitrate formats as well as lossless FLACs. The practical upshot is that customers can buy FLACs (if you give them the option), while iTunes does not (yet) offer Apple Lossless files. My preference for lossless files may, in practical terms, be little more than affectation I suppose :) but, well, I do try to get them when I can. I have read some talk about the whole "mastered for iTunes" thing, and I am willing to believe that something mastered for a particular medium will sound better in that medium. :) So, since I listen to everything via the computer/iPhone anyway, perhaps there is even an argument for getting the iTunes AACs over the CD and ripping it! Still, I can't help but think that something "mastered for iTunes" would also sound good when turned into other digital formats (of which Bandcamp lets one offer a variety: http://bandcamp.com/faq#aiffwavuploadrequirement ). Presumably Bandcamp skims something for artists selling stuff, along with PayPal, etc. though of course so does iTunes -- or any label. I don't know much about that, since I am a hobbyist who just slaps my occasional amateur efforts up there for free (so my revenues and payment processing costs are both zero ;) and actual downloads themselves are ... minimal! ;)) I've also heard some buzz recently about Neil Young wanting to get involved in high-quality digital download action (though the associated "http://www.mypono.com" seems just a place-holder at the moment). I can believe Young's venture will unseat the likes of iTunes or Amazon's MP3 services, but it might up the ante a little, I suppose. Doubtless someday iTunes will sell Apple Lossless files, just as they previously moved from 128kbps AACs to 256kbps AACs ... but they probably won't upgrade my existing AAC purchases, at least not for free! Anyway, I was just wondering if there were higher bit-rate Blue Coupe options that the current iTunes ones. Just, ya know, to be sure!

I didn't see anyone else mention what you may already know, Carl, that there are two versions of `Gil Blanco County' on _St Cecilia_, the Stalk Forrest Group album that was put out a few years ago. Not much there is stately, though it's all marvellous. While quite a lot of BOC, and specifically _Imaginos_ is many places could be said to sound of dark things lurking in the woods at night, `Gil Blanco County' on the SFG album sounds of sun through trees in the daytime, so I don't know quite how it must have wound up in 1988...

Over thirty years ago Tony and I were students together and ran minibuses to Edinburgh and Glasgow to see Hawkwind gigs. I also did my first Glastonbury and Stonehenge festivals in his company. So Tony, his new wife Julie, and Lucy and I set off from there to The Ferry. I'd been expecting one of those under-the-boardwalk nightclubs and was pleasantly surprised to see that The Ferry was in fact a boat. The insides had been hollowed out to form a nightclub, with a bar and stage on the lower deck and a kind of three sided balcony upstairs with more tables and a bar. Unfortunately the backing band was one of those who figured that quality can be traded with volume and came on at such an earsplitting level that simple thought, let alone conversation, was impossible. Or so I thought anyway. Julie is in fact a sign-language interpreter and had a hurried conversation in Sign with Tony. Even an Aspie could have figured out it was Sign for "Let's get the fuck outta here!" Since Julie's day job is to interpret into sign, she values her hearing perhaps more than most of us. She'd decided to call it quits. I tried suggesting that Hawklords were unlikely to do the same, but she was clearly upset. We all walked her back to her hotel and had a drink there before heading back. The band had started when we got there. The lineup was Ron tree, Jerry Richards, Harvey Bainbridge, and Adrian Shaw. I didn't recognise the drummer. I'd expected Steve Swindells since he's on their new album, but no luck there. They played a mixed set between stuff from the new album and older tracks. I recognised "We Are One" and "The Mothership", "Time Split Vision" and "Spark In The Dark" from the album and they played "Psi Power", "25 Years", "Master of the Universe", "Brainstorm", "Damnation Alley" and "Silver machine". It was a pretty energetic performance (at reasonable volume) with Ron being his usual self. Harvey and Jerry were very much on form and made the gig for me, and they were pretty tight and clearly rehearsed, with none of the looseness that comes with some of the Nik-inspired outings. They brought at least some of the new tracks to life in a way that just doesn't come through on the album, mainly I think through Harvey, who really is a wizard of the keys these days. I bet he could do a mean Doctor Who theme. FoFP -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.

That's clear enough,? however I'm not sure how to interpret "guest appearances"... - Is Blue Coupe (or 2/3 of Blue Coupe) performing a standalone set during both the early & late shows?? - Are either Ian Lloyd or Lance B. singing with Blue Coupe..???? Or are they doing a solo thing each (presumably before Blue Coupe)? The reason I'm asking:? I'm going to be at the Best Buy Theater BOC show that night and am hoping that I could get uptown in time to catch Blue Coupe at the late show.?
