In reply to Orphan. People are jaded about Behringer, because the company hasn't done anything in a log time, and can't seem to ship much of what they announce.

I love BoC. And I’ll never be mad about having more to listen to. But MHTRTC is 28 years old and more vibey pads isn’t what I want from them. Their best work (to me) is their unique, unsettling balance of innocent and sinister … of hope, and despair. Of optimism and cynicism. I’m not really getting that from this. The second half of the new track feels more like the menu time-out music from Halo.

‘Smoking rock solo’ – initially misread and thought you were referring to the reflective solitude enjoyed by crack enthusiasts. Probably not a thing.

In reply to Jay Bolalek.

I think anyone commenting here is a fan of BOC one way or another i.e to some degree or else they would not bother reading or commenting.
Some will love anything new and others maybe not.
Claiming one has no taste because they don`t like what to some sounds like a recycled version of everything else they did in the past is a bit harsh imho
I agree with Techno in this case even though i can`t say i listen to Techno music

All the naysayers don’t have a clue about good music. With a profile name like Techno, whatever.

In reply to KernelPanik. imho thats a wack metric, people are allowed to be critical of music and art without having to be a professional

In reply to Techno. Look, no one can deny "Reaper," and "Burnin' for You" was definitely a jam, but after that, they just kinda went downhill for me. I don't know what the hell this video is, but it definitely would benefit from a tasty Buck Dharma solo and a whole lot more cowbell.

Why is the news about synths and music so slow on this site?

In reply to Yo. It’s almost as if being musicians is about publishing music, not being mysterious.

In reply to FRA.

I was hoping too but in my case i realised that it sounds too familiar to their old stuff and that i am
24 years older than when i listened to Geogaddi. No way to objectively „compare“ as i am a different person now. Feels a bit like the Rolling Stones. Some people love them doing tours playing the same things forever and some others don`t. Even if they like the initial music.
Tbh i am more disappointed in myself not being able to enjoy it as deeply anymore than i am from them doing something so similar to all their old things
