Nlogax sucks.
Completely agree. Of BoC's more popular songs like Roygbiv, Everything You Do Is a Balloon and Reach for the Dead, I find that Dayvan Cowboy is the only one which is a bit off-putting. I don't dislike it, it just doesn't give me the same satisfaction which the rest of their stuff does. Trans-Canada Highway is their worst release imo, Left Side Drive is much better than the other material on the EP.

Boc Maxima more accurately portrays their music than Music Has the Right. Nlogax is slow but purposeful. The best remix Boards has ever done is Poppy Seed. The best remix of their music is Last Walk. Solange can eat a bag of dicks. I am indifferent to Come to Dust. Rue the Whirl is kind of just there, not good or bad, but it is better than House of Abin'adab. Anything is better than House of Abin'adab. Even Basefree. Cheers.
Most contentious post in this thread. Why do you think Geogaddi is meh? For the fact it is more conceptual than melodic, at least compared to other albums?
Are you of the opinion that BoC lied about having those older releases, perhaps to beef up their discography in their early days? I think they exist but it's possible that a lot of it is unpresentable and not up to Old Tunes standards. Also how do you explain the snippets of duffy, circle and Wouldn't You Like to be Free?
That closing implication that Basefree is not a great track... Maybe not the best on Twoism but I think it's pretty great, although not nearly as good as Chinook (the only track in the same vein it would seem).
My controversial opinions are that I think that there will be a new EP within a year or less. I don't think there will ever be a boxset of early works. I find that the voices in ATP-07 don't really detract from the track, and may even do the opposite. At first I actually thought it was part of the track, just another weird mismatch of chopped up vocals.
