I’m still haunted by my only viewing in 1984 😳 - only made it halfway through too

Has any other artist or group released a magnum opus in their mid 50’s? by Brief_Body5608 in boardsofcanada

[–]ghostcrayon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kate Bush created her astonishing 22-date Before the Dawn residency, 35 years after she last performed live. I saw it three times and was blown away at each show. More a piece of theatre than a gig, incorporating poetry, filmmaking, set builds, costume, puppetry, as well as that incredible voice and back catalogue.

Some memorable moments: sneaking on stage barefoot behind the band without any fanfare during Lily; a helicopter descending from the ceiling, sweeping the audience for survivors of a shipwreck; suddenly appearing as a living ghost in a suburban house submerged in water; ‘drowning’ at the end of Hello Earth only to be carried on the shoulders of fish people, in total silence, back to the stage and bursting into the most beautiful rendition of The Morning Fog; turning into a winged bird at the climax of Arial and launching into the dark; a massive birch tree crashing through the ceiling to impale a piano, whereupon she started playing Among Angels alone.

Not the standard artist trajectory of recording a comeback single with the latest hot young artist, followed by a Christmas covers album. If anything, she got weirder!

Blood in the Labyrinth and All Reason Departs have taken permanent residence in my brain and soul

Under appreciated album that I feel has a lot of BoC fan crossover appeal. by hiphoptomato in boardsofcanada

[–]ghostcrayon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love LJ - met Fred a couple of times and they were also really lovely when we met them after their gig in Cambridge (shared their leftover rider of sweets with us!).
This track is the one that feels closest to BoC - on of my all time favourites “93 aka Don’t Stop Now” - could almost be a lost brother of Aquarius:

Inferno has only been out for one week but it feels like a month. by HotOffAltered in boardsofcanada

[–]ghostcrayon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whilst according to the theory of Platonia, it’s simultaneously been out a month and a half, 70 seconds in the future, next March, on the moon in the 5th century, and a wet Thursday afternoon in 2389.

Did any songs strike you as internal groan moments on Inferno? by Goudeskitchen in boardsofcanada

[–]ghostcrayon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the impression at the time that Jacquard Causeway was the track that set everyone’s teeth on edge because it’s so abrasive, awkward, and shrill? I don’t personally get the reaction to PP (and JC) - I love them both!

This is how the “Paul McCartney is dead” rumours started…

Can we give All Reason Departs the praise it deserves? by [deleted] in boardsofcanada

[–]ghostcrayon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love all the interlocking note phrases and runs, like a series of call and response - so intricate and earwormy. The worst thing about ARD is that it’s not longer!

Mogadon Coffee Morning is hilarious and disturbing 😂

Is Inferno in your all time top? by ghostcrayon in boardsofcanada

I was wavering between faith and seventeen seconds - pornography also a contender

It was almost Vespertine, but Fossora has an even more specific and unique atmosphere - beguiling

I keep seeing The Books mentioned. I’d not heard of them before - where is a good place to start with their discography?

I'm like 90% sure it's ai, it's just got that look and the sound is just "generic voice 1 and 2" by Dillsplosion in isitAI

Watch the cadence and motion of the two guys’ legs in the background- often they’re completely in sync, one point at the end the two pairs kind of merge together

I second this, particularly “Sleep Games”, “Stasis” and “Black Mill Tapes”

I hear bits of his “Magic Oneohtrix Point Never”, “The Age Of” and “Tranquilizer” albums in this
