An absolute, absolute, absolute Joy!

Thanks for posting that Eu

If I recall from an article I read a few years ago, they (the two brothers in the band) moved at an early age to Canada. There are also references to their name deriving from their love of films made by the National Film Board of Canada.

 

My big problem with this band is that they just don't produce enough music for me to buy. I have all their commercial albums on CD and have even hunted down some (unconfirmed) bootlegs. If you are reading this BoC, can you make your next release a 10 CD box set of new material - lol.

My first experience of BoC was via the Warp label. I've always been a big fan of bands on Warp, so it was natural that I would have heard them at some point. In fact I would say I have been following a number of bands on the Warp label since they were a small label in Sheffield. I then used to visit their shop in the city centre. It's amazing how the musical road guides you. Always loved Cabaret Voltaire - Richard H. Kirk (a member) did some solo stuff on Warp and some collaborative work too.

I like him but he doesn't half try and trump whatever guests he gets on about so many subjects that he clearly only has a vague knowledge of! I find it's the quality of the guests that validates him.
