Whitewater

This track is incredibly sexy - the way that snare hit shimmers and echoes off itself, and how the track builds up to the first kicks. I love when BoC do this build up, ala Amo Bishop Roden, but this song is less cerebral and more laid back that the latter masterpiece. In both tracks, the kicks, after minutes of brewing ambiance, seem to take your breath away.

It's a super versatile track, can be very nostalgia driven or very emotional and present-moment. Of course its common knowledge that boc are masters of this though.

Just thought this track deserved some discussion, didn't find a thread for it

Always been a favorite of mine... I do hope it gets an official release one of these days.

"Well, we're going outside to - outside to play now, I hope all the different You's have fun, too! Bye!"

hey, the beginning of the sesame street video is at the start of this atp live track but reversed.

atp track 5 (sixty ten)

Boards of Sesame - they seem to have used a lot of SS samples in their early work...

That's also sampled on Sunshine Recorder.

This is the greatest thread.

Yeah and I can swear I can hear it in the "Spangle Remix by Autechre" by Seefeel as well?

Edit:

Nevermind, I was thinking of "Opening the Mouth" off Geogaddi and on listening again I doesnt sound the same.

Absolutely one of their best tunes.

yes this is my favorite track from the album. So wasn't maxima released on cd? What's the highest quality of it out there?

No trolling, I prefer Whitewater to almost everything on MHTRTC. How it was left officially unreleased is beyond me.

It was a demo tape of sorts that BoC shopped around to various labels before SKAM/WARP signed them - it only exists on cassette (C90), with a custom DIY J-card inlay.

It would be nice to see it officially released one day on CD or even as a digital download.

or in some sort of nicely packaged set of older work
