BoC is too repetitive for me to fully embrace them, but on occasion the groove they stumble upon is so great that I don't even care. Overall, I like them in small doses. Cue rant.

You mentioned "Telephasic Workshop" - I think it's decent, certainly great for chilling out (the whole album is for me, really), but A: it doesn't have the beauty of some of their other tunes and B: it's one of their long songs. This is my major beef with BoC. With only one or maybe two exceptions, their longer songs are great for two minutes and then they start dragging. Badly.


That's actually what makes Telephasic Workshop stand out - it switches things up 3 minutes in and becomes the best fucking song ever. They get their unchanging groove going and then fade in multiple layers of cut up looping speech and change the drumming here and there then start adding this BAM BAM BAM BAM every now and then. It's the most hypnotic thing I've heard. I agree that almost everything of theirs drags after the 2 minute mark, which is why I don't like them 98% of the time.

Amon is like a combination of jazz (he plays sax) and drill n bass, which is itself just really fast, possibly glitchy drum and bass. My collection of Amon is small, but there's only like one track in it I didn't like.
