I always thought the weird rythmic noises mixed in with the drums that come in might be another drum loop (like a open hat, a closed hat and a snare maybe) that has just been very heavily distorted and manipulated with different effects (because boc have said many times that they spend a lot of time "destroying" their sounds)- i might be wrong tho, the beatiful thing ist we will never know for sure.
I mean they probably just played the track at a slightly different speed considering they were using tape recorders and some could vary their speed with a knob. It would be a bit difficult to tune every synth and sampler to a different tuning.
Oh, I see, could you elaborate on that? I assume you're counting the measures per chord? I had the feeling that the song was 4/4, but that kind of uneven chord progression got me confused.
@@sheeco6072 they often have 5 measures in their songs, sometimes 6. The extra measures act as transitional measures, but yea, the song is in 4/4. You know because you count each measure like "1 and 2 and 3 and 4"
So the album's name is "geoGADdi", and the notes are "G-A-D"? Hmm... ;) And since you can't classify the beat as hip-hop or anything else, just put it in the waste-bin taxon of electronic music: IDM! Seriously though, this is a pretty cool video. And you have a better ear than I do apparently. :-p
Hey, thanks! Oh yeah, for sure, I'm noting all of the suggestions into this list I have and I'm intending to cover all of them, just need some free time to do it! But I love that song and the interludes that campfire headphase has, such a great record!
@@sheeco6072 yes keep up the good work cause I'm actually learning a lot cause I want to make music inspired by BoC and your breakdown really are helpful
tempo fluctuations are maybe due to the fact that they actually played it, not sequenced it.... tempo fluctuations were very very common back when music was made by humans, and not computers
@@Ancaja123 huh? you dont quite understand how this works , do you. and in other news, BOC was well known for playing many of the parts by hand. obviously they are not play a repeating SAMPLE by hand, but you evidently dont know anything about their production process, which is to say, you have no idea, given their is a little info on it.
@@xisotopex what's up your ass? I still stand by what I said, they definitely "hand play" some parts, but their more beat-based music is undoubtably sequenced. It just isn't always easy to lay a premade song out on a grid and have it match perfectly, especially when it's done with hardware sequencers. I have sequencers and samplers that BoC is confirmed to use so, yes I do know wtf I'm talking about

Perhaps they're not tuned to A440? Maybe try A432 to get the pitch more accurate. Love these breakdowns. Thanks.

The chord progression is five measures long but the time signature is still 4/4. There are four beats per measure, not five.

this is really great stuff. your production sounds really good, do you have any music out of your own?
Great stuff! Thank you!!
Absolutely outstanding

Oh snap another BoC breakdown nice!!!! Can we one day get a breakdown of Sherbet Head by BoC ?

Excellent video!!!!!!!
I see the Bass as a lead-in to the melody rather than the drum rhythm; it's a counter melody in its own right.
very good work, I liked it. I love their composition "Twoism", could you analyze it too? I would be eternally grateful for that.
Come back please

it's probably just due to the timing of the seqeuncers won't line perfectly up with the grid. Doubt it's hand played, other than maybe the synth part.
