Thank goodness for 20 years of web progress, the new site is so much better .....

I remember shortly before the album was released, they put Over the Horizon Radar on that interactive site they had as a preview for the album. when I heard that track, my initial thought was not only is this a beautiful piece of music, but also naturally jumped to the conclusion that this new one is going to be more in the vein of IABPOITC. upon 1st listen when it came out, I remember being like, well I was wrong about that. in a good way of course, not saying I was disappointed at all. just thought that releasing that track as a teaser for the album was a well planned clever move.

Atomless's BoC site was probably the longest time I'd ever spent on any music related site (aside from here!), used to spend ages flying over the 'Seven Forty Seven' island wondering why such beauty didn't make it onto Geogaddi

EDIT: Looks like it's still hosted on his site, just 'locked' behind barely any modern browser having access to using Macromedia Shockwave - http://atomless.com/projects/boc/site/

is this out yet?

whilst i prob wouldn't include any of the individual tunes from geogaddi in my boards top 5, it's by far my favourite album of theirs.

the craftsmanship that went into this record was clearly on another level.

This looks so much like a generic WordPress theme some random intern fills as a side project. It would not surprise me if this was maintained by a person that manages 200 sites like this  covering all kinds of genres. Its really a shame as the old design looks great still today. 

btw this is from their most early versions of the site:

nah..thats xpnsv custom stuff..

Think it's a bit of both: 100k make the Laygridder Wordpress plugin ( https://laygridder.com/ ), the demo video of which shows a very similar style of web function & design:

That's a nice geotatty

I can’t believe it’s 20 years since I sat in that church in Edinburgh and heard this for the first time. Glory days!

This was one of the first instances of an album I listened to a bunch while it was still relatively new. Definitely no small part in getting me out of a boring as hell classic rock rut.

Smoked a lot of weed to this album back while that was still an important thing in my life but since getting off the ganja, it is fortunately not tainted with the association the way some music from that time in my life is.

Someone summoned me?
