Guest Spittal Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I mean, it's not that I don't think it's a really good track. I love it. It's that Geogaddi is such an amazing experience, it gets so dark, harrowing and unsettling. I feel that Julie and Candy doesn't quite fit into the Geogaddi mixture as well as the rest of the album. it's like Geogaddi is a cave, getting deeper and deeper always looking for a way out, then Julie and Candy is like this weird theme park with lots of midgets at the bottom of the cave? Am I alone here? Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/67018-julie-and-candy-and-the-flow-of-geogaddi/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscillik Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) you really can't hear the dark undercurrent to that track? edit: i'm not trying to be a sarcastic cunt or anything, like...literally, i'm perplexed that you can't hear it.

Guest Spittal Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 It's not that it isn't dark, it just doesn't fit as well as everything else on the album. Keep in mind this is also on the BoC scale, where everything is so perfectly placed, this is like getting picky about having one eyelash on a perfectly polished car.

Guest Spittal Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I'll try it's hard though. Like most of us (I assume) I listen to this album front to back only, and whenever Julie and Candy comes up I'm all like "ugh, should I skip this?" which happens on no other tracks. It pulls me out of the experience. It doesn't enhance it. It's something about the length of it being a little too long, and how "In the annex" isn't the perfect launch board into it. The frequencies of the flutes sound a little out of place. It might be dark, but it feels almost like a sarcastic dark compared to somthing like "The Beach at Redpoint". Maybe if it wasn't after Sunshine Recorder, it would have a better reception. I'm just listing thing as they come in my head, I'll think a bit more about it in the coming hours as I listen to the album on repeat.

goDel Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hmmm, I've got a good story on the BOC-scale. It goes like this: having a BOC-track on your mind, but being unable to remember which track it is. After months of listening to your collection and still not having determined which track it was, you finally decide to recreate the melody which got into your skull and post the clip on a messageboard filled with aphex stalkers. The general conclusion: the boc-catalogue sounds so similar!

oscillik Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 see, for me, Julie and Candy is one of my favoured tracks on the album, i love how the bass growls in, seemingly from nowhere. and how the percussive elements all come into the fore, particularly nearer to the end. there's a particular percussive sound in there that i love, it's like a wooden 'chok' sound. i understand what you mean about it being a 'sarcastic' dark, it is definitely playing on the whole 'happy melody / timbre' thing and running with it.

goDel Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Not at a theme park, but on a TV series. Game of Thrones, or something similar. There was some dark ass shit going on, btw. So you're spot on. edit: only one midget though. which is not a lot, but might actually imply it doesn't need many midgets to get dark Edited June 23, 2011 by goDel Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/67018-julie-and-candy-and-the-flow-of-geogaddi/#findComment-1606117 Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work!

That'd be a half midget, because he has been run-over. It only takes half a midget for things to turn dark. Even a pinky would be enough already. A drunk Amy Winehouse would help too, btw.

Ivy Zemura yvI oo ii oo Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I think that Julie and Candy and The Smallest Weird Number, which on first listen are very happy, playful tracks, lend a bit of contrast to enhance the darkness of 1969 and subsequent tracks. However, both Julie and Candy are truly very dark, but in a different way. I think they flow very well with Geogaddi. There are supposedly 85+ outtakes from Geogaddi as well, with many of them doubtlessly being more easily apparently dark than Julie and Candy, so there must be a reason BoC chose this track to place right in the middle, almost as if it's a glimmer of hope within the tunnel, soon to be taken away but then exposed out of reach at the very end with Corsair.

40days Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 What's the "darkness" of BOC? I can't feel it. I've a strong metal music background which might account to it, but really all I can think of when I listen to Boards is bright things. With some melancholia naturally, but nothing dark or occult. I've tried listening to Geogaddi with the assumption that it's sinister, but it only makes me laugh when someone says that for example Opening the Mouth is somehow frightening. I just don't get it. I love BOC to pieces but for me it's really just summery music stripped of all the mysteries that surround them.
