You know, I kind of agree. The only part I really like about it is that piano-y synth that makes up the intro, and is used throughout the rest of the song. Otherwise, it is kind of...I don't know...bland...for BOC. Nice drum layers, but too little variation in any other department for me to really enjoy.

Also, Sixtyniner sounds better on Vinyl.

It doesn't work on its own, but it's good as a part of the LP

It sounds like Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds. So it HAS to be good.

What about Orange Hexagon Sun? or is the whole thing a lost cause in your book?

Good song. At least there is something going on. When I listen to Turquoise Hexagon Sun I imagine a BoC cover band playing in a cafeteria.

This is an accurate description I wholeheartedly agree with and endorse.

Well then. This escalated quickly.

To be fair, 'electro ponce' is a superb line, but please play nicely people. Thank you.

It brings back fond memories of when The Mighty Boosh was actually funny.

I still find Julian Barret funny. I just think Noel Fielding's humour was pretty one dimensional and hasn't aged well.

Interesting fact: I actually worked with Julian Barrett a couple of years ago. He came to our studio to record the voiceover for those O2 ads, the "Be more dog" ones. I actually engineered the session. He was a nice bloke. Very tall. I'm 6.1 and he towered above me. I actually kept his script, he did loads of cool doodles on it. I have it pinned up in my kitchen.

Ha! Nice.

I dunno, Mighty Boosh always felt like the sort of comedy you felt pressured into saying was funny by your mates when you 14 to me. Don't get me started on his 'Luxury Comedy' either. He's funny in the IT Crowd to be fair.

I find Noel Fielding quite funny but I do hate that false showbiz laugh where his entire jaw moves up and down. He does it on Buzzcocks ALL the time.

I remember... wondering alone in the forest, sun touches my skin, somewhere in the distance is whole civilization left, my dreams and memories twists together, I can feel it, that hit is really strong...I'm not afraid,,,.

I'm one of the, I suppose rare few, who didn't like him in IT Crowd as well. Although it was a fantastic show, gotta love Graham Linehan (Black Books, Father Ted).

I couldn't stand Luxury Comedy.

Oh and while I'm at it I have a heavy distaste for panel shows like Buzzcocks and Have I got.. They are really irritating for some reason. I do like QI though.

On topic: Geogaddi doesn't feel complete for me without From One Source. It doesn't sum up the whole album per se, but I definitely feel it sums up their mindset around those years, particularly for whichever brother it was who mentioned suffering from depression. It actually makes me cry, which makes it the only one that does apart from Smallest Weird Number in terms of that album.

Tomorrow's Harvest is not that great. Neither are the old tunes. In fact, a lot of them creep me out. Then again, I'm a newer fan so it'll probably grow!
