baaaaaaaaawwwwwwwccccc
You're pronouncing both BOC and Australia wrongEither O-stra(y)-lee-uh (O as in Ozzie) or A-stra(y)-lee-uh (A as in Alone) are acceptable. The Y in there is optional, depending on how quickly you're saying the word.
BOC is pronounced like Rock.

For those of you who have siblings, maybe you've already considered this, but sometimes I wonder if after a lifetime of growing up together, and decades of working and creating music and art together, can the long gaps between releases be attributed not just to their level of perfectionism, but also to how Mike and Marcus relate to one another over the years? Typically, as people grow older, even close siblings or lifelong friends go in different directions, hold different views, want different things, ect.
I imagine it can't always be easy to work closely with your brother no matter how deep of a bond they share. And now, as two people reaching middle age, raising families and so forth, perhaps the idea of hunkering down and trying to create something amazing just isn't as necessary or exciting as it used to be. I mean, think of all the time they've spent together since childhood and all the things that have happened up until now. We have no idea what goes on between the two, but we know it's a lot of history and maybe not always good times.
One last thought. Tomorrow's Harvest, which as we've been told is an homage composers who scored sci-fi and horror flicks from the 70's and 80's, is also an album that tells the story of the apocalypse, or the collapse of everything as we know it. When you make that record and put it out, where the fuck do you even go from there? Sometimes I think they painted themselves into a corner. Perhaps this was intentional, done as a means to really force them to think differently on their next project, or maybe that was just what it ended up as. Again, we'll probably never know.

Great post. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah... So this quote is strange to me. How is TH "everything but apocalyptic"? If that were the case why have a track called "Palace Posy" which is an anagram for "apocalypse"? It didn't take people long to spot that one! I suppose one could make an argument that the anagram is a red herring, meant to deliberately throw people off, but why? Is it a case of semantic interpretation of the word apocalypse? Are they trying to draw a distinction between what people normally mean when they use the word apocalyptic when they're really talking about eschatology, which really sort of go hand in hand? Am I missing something? I guess I'm missing the "longer story", which raises the question of where do we look to find the longer story? Is it within TH, or is it yet to be told?
Ultimately, it leads me back to the idea that we should take everything they say with a grain of salt. But, if people want to go into this and provide an explanation that I obviously can't, please do!
