sounds like 100% wet reverse reverb or reverse tape sent thru a verb but the effects track is layered to occur in time right before the dry vocals

One of the things I love about Boards is that they have this incredibly subtle electro/boogie touch on some of their earliest stuff - specifically thinking of tracks like "Nlogax"

[@Present-Simple]

There's a project by Sunken Foal that does something similar. Search on Vimeo for "Press Charges - I Did You Wrong’" and check out the other videos for this project. Also check out this tune + release: countersunk.bandcamp.com/track/heal-me-mog-mix (this one I also uploaded to my channel if you prefer KZbin) (don't have any association with the artist)

This is the best thing EVER :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[@prospectnyc]

This song is such a dark twisted mindfuck. The story of King Midas is not a happy one - its a cautionary tale. In short - Kind Midas wanted everything he touched to turn to gold. Problem is you can't hug or love anybody. The lyrics state "Everything you need, you can find right here with me" because he has "the Midas touch" and everything he touches "turns to gold" and then asks to touch "your body and your soul". Essentially, solidifying your body and soul into a cold lifeless metal. I always wondered why BoC chose to remix this - and now it makes sense as it ties into BoC's masterful ability to both "seduce and frighten" you with their music into a "a place where beauty and madness aren't that far from each other".

[@vertsk8er419]

it's not dark or twisted, you are the one doing the twisting with your interpretation of it. we all do it. it is very deep and allegorical. it is timeless. i'd leave it at that, but that's just me and i'm only sharing my opinion. peace

[@prospectnyc]

@@vertsk8er419 "Seduce and frighten" and "a place where beauty and madness aren't that far from each other" comes directly from the Hexagon Sun camp - that's why it's in quotes. It's not "twisting" an interpretation, it's exactly what BoC/Hexagon Sun say they do.
