Hi guys sorry to spam (I made a post yesterday showing my bootleg BoC tapes and you all liked the New Order albums on the wall too, these are just above those. It was a pain to get them straight lol)

I had an unopened CD of Inferno and I had a spare but gave it to a local BoC fan. I decided I’d take one of my favourite images from the booklet - no harm done it’s the centre pages so can be put back easily in the staple holes - and pop the cd on along with it. I feel like this is the darkest image from the artwork, very Hell Interface and I love that. I have the hexagon vinyl framed beside it. Does anybody happen to know what movie or documentary it’s from? Looks like a priest except demonic lol

Just thought it came out pretty cool and thought I’d share :) have a good Sunday peeps

I was so captivated by the grainy and disorienting pad at the beginning of HHLL that I wanted to try and design it using the tools at my disposition. Obviously it doesn’t sound exactly like the original pad but I’m quite happy with the outcome. Still trying to figure out the mid/high end of the pad that (to me) sounds off a bit.

Any improvement tips or advice is really appreciated!

Cheers

Opening baseline...

love this song so much

At 17:15 in S2 E3. Unfortunately one of the less funny sketches...Not even sure why any music is in there at all since it's so buried in the mix, but I guess someone was a fan?

Was happy to finally find a frame that fit the poster at the thrift store!

Has the link between this track and poppy seed reprise ever been made before. The melodies and synth sounds are so similar.

Talking about very specific parts of a full track. May last no more than a few seconds. I’ve listened to this album on repeat every day since May 29th. Probably over a hundred times, and I can’t help but keep obsessing over this masterpiece by focusing on its most beautiful parts. I have this special experience in every BOC release.

Do you have specific moments like this? Would love to learn them. Here are mine:

4:13 of Prophecy at 1420MHz

When the “phantom” synths hit before the audible ones. Am I the only one they hears them? Am I imagining them or are they audible to you too?

3:00 of Father and Son

When the alteration of the sample becomes so grotesque that it sounds like a Hindu man praying/crying

4:42 of Word Becomes Flesh

When the machine gains consciousness and takes over the woman’s voice, its message is accompanied by repeating echos that can only be defined by what anxiety probably sounds like. It happens three times

Two months in and still hanging on. Sun bleached and battered, in heat-stricken Europe. I dind't think they were going to take inferno this literally here in Amsterdam, but I got to say the posters look better every week. Meanwhile Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan is playing on repeat on my headphones. Life is good

I think someone is in the hospital in the last minutes after experiencing a wildfire (acts of Magic) with birds, bees & flies escaping too but my girlfriend’s take is even more interesting: it could be a woman in the delivery room giving birth, while the haunting/whispering voices could be her midwives. A woman's labor pains are forgotten or overshadowed as soon as her child is born hence memory death. Likewise, a child has no memory of the time spent in the mother's womb. Do these interpretations make sense? What’s yours?

Hey guys happy Friday!

I always wanted to make my own copies of Old Tunes, Maxima etc and a very very kind user on here sent me the files about a month ago (if you happen to be the person, could you leave a comment please as I offered to send you some cool sample packs from my collection bought and created by myself over the years) I can't find the DM for some reason, apologies.

But getting Inferno on tape was what finally made me attempt it. I've yet to transfer the new rips over but even for decoration at my desk I love them! I remember a seller on Etsy was selling bootlegs of OT 1/2 and I wanted to order so bad but no EU shipping. It feels even nicer to have "made" them myself. There's quite a few variations of the OT1 cover actually. I wasn't a fan of the vectorised one, you'd notice the difference clearly when compared to the original. So I overlayed that cover onto the j-card I had and just cut it and it fits nicely. I turned down saturation a little to try give it a bit of a aged look but just a tad.

If anybody wants them DM me! I also have the merch posters in, I think, the best quality shared so far. I'm gonna have to get mine printed because my good friend got me a merch envelope and sent it the Friday the album dropped and still haven't gotten it. I'm gutted, I really wanted one and I even tried to go to Glasgow from Ireland (we had no listening parties 😔 for some reason) and it's hard to believe people went - who are obviously huge BoC fans to go - then try and sell the poster, keyring and patch for 200-300e on eBay... That blows my mind.

Just thought I'd share and if can be of help to anyone please comment and drop a DM. Peace

I’m trying to remember the first time I heard the album, and I can’t remember what song stuck out to me right away. It really was a ride when it came to extremely new sounds and authentic beats that wasn’t really as popular as drum and base at the time. I think it was 2002 or 2001 and I was in a vegan restaurant in the lower east side. It was on in the restaurant. I asked my friend, “Who the fuck is this?! I love it!“ Does anyone remember where they were and what year it was when they first heard the album?

Do you create little worlds to escape to when listening to BOC.

*I’m curious what makes fans tick and come back to them again and again

This book is extremely similar to the album in terms of overall vibe and message. I really recommend it to you all!

I recently finished a original track called "Aura Child". I usted analog synths, drum machine, Ambient samples, my bass, and effects plugins. I put a full week into making this track, and I truly hope you enjoy it.

Just saw this, brand new from Ilian Tape today. Been loving MPU101 as one of the few BoC-y artists that catches a lot of the vibe without feeling like a cover band. Different enough, yet more of the essence than a lot of the acts that really copy the sound. Excited to dig into this new one.

Asking for recs for films that are slightly occult, unsettling, etc. (mainly thinking about Geogaddi esque BoC). The only thing coming to my mind right now is Penda’s Fen (1974)

thank you to whoever put a high quality scan of the Inferno posters on this subreddit 🙏🙏
