Found the original 2007 pressing (sealed) at a local shop. Yes, I bought it. And it’s the only record I needed left for my BH collection… this feels special!
Hello all.
Like everyone else here, I am a massive fan of BoC, and I have thoroughly enjoyed Inferno thus far. This recent release has had me reflecting on common threads in their music, particularly some recurring synth sounds that I find myself very drawn to.
I have done quite a bit of research and close listening myself, but there is still a certain synth sound I hear, mostly on Tomorrow's Harvest and Inferno, that I am trying to figure out. The sound has obviously been quite processed and could easily be multiple synths that sound similar. It is typically this lush, emotional lead kind of sound that is farther back in the mix. Some examples:
The Process (2:18) - synth sound in the background, behind the piano chords
You Retreat In Time And Space (4:47) - flute-like synth motif that comes in as the song ends
Come to Dust (3:12) - synth sound buried in the background behind the synth playing the melody
Potentially the Yamaha CS-70M? Let me know your thoughts...
