There’s layers and layers to their music. There was a track that I never even knew had words until I came upon the “lyrics” on a webpage once. Some of the words that are spoken aren’t what they seem - some words are actually other words backwards. There’s small sounds that are only brought to your attention when played on a revealing system. I can almost guarantee that when I sit down to seriously listen an album of theirs, I’ll hear something new, which is one reason to keep me going back.Vladimir said:
BoCpages is a Wikipedia type site with pages and pages of information about them, their tracks, and their albums, which lists the the samples used and their origins, their possible meanings, as well as the general themes used, like numbers, colours, and shapes.

What BoC isn’t, is a collection of tracks with the same timing and same beat that all sound the same. As I say, repeated listening reveals their complexity, but it’s not something that everyone gets, particularly if they only listen a couple of times and decided it’s all boring. I’m trying to think of an analogy, and the only thing I can think of at the moment is Formula One, which is what it is because of lots of small complex things, which make F1 exciting or boring, depending on any one individual’s understanding of the sport. Those that don’t get F1 just think it’s a bunch of cars going round a track.
