Greetings everyone,

Unfortunately, I live in the US so I had to miss out on this wonderful
spectacle. I love Vooredoms but I happen to be even more into the music of Zach
Hill, who wound up playing on the eclipse cruise with them. I'm having trouble
finding ANY more information than this.... can someone that was lucky enough to
attend please give a summary? Thank you!

ummm....is it private? i can't see there being as much response from the public
as, say, a well-known celeb doing the same thing.--- In

apparently there is a solar eclipse sometime in july and the boredoms, altz, and
a bunch of others have arranged this concert on a cruise ship or maybe just a
big boat of some sort to coincide with it.  sounds like a amazing time, but even
if i still lived in japan i'm not sure if i could afford to do this.

the mix is super cool. it's mostly rare funk and weirdo records mixed the way
only Eye can do. very original. i don't think i can listen to it anymore though.
that was how long ago now?-2 years ago?, and i burned it out.

Agreed. Festivals are traditionally tiring, poorly-organized, uncomfortable, and
often badly equipped. It can be difficult to get around, let alone actually see
the performers well, and you never get to see every band, and usually only a
fraction of them. There are also usually medical emergencies, especially if it's
100 degrees outside with no shade (like one Lolla I attended, it was a total
mess, surprised no lawsuits came out of that waste of time).The mega-festivals
are the worst offenders. In theory, outdoor music shows can be great, and often
are, under the proper circumstances and with good organization. But paying a
huge amount of money to get sunstroke and dehydration and to have the right to
get ripped off for $10 bottles of water is best left to the sheep out there, who
are apparently suckers for any con that comes their way. They can be stupid all
they want, it won't add any cachet to their lives.--- In

just buy the thing. I read a really brilliant Boredoms review the other day that
called 'Seadrum' "tossed off" too. What planet are THEY from?

Still looking for more live recordings--audio would be good, but any audio or
video digital format would be fine--such as 8/8/08. Someone's got to have
something. Not pirated stuff, but unreleased. There's so very little Boredoms DL
online...

I've got a rhythm & sound singles box set (and they really push vinyl

No, I didn't get one, but I wonder if the quality of mastering over
the years has generally declined, or if it's just the source of that
record. I imagine production costs are still low--it used to be 40
cents US to manufacture each LP record, but I haven't checked on
pricing in a long time. No surprise if that cost tripled or
quadrupled since then, but you might contact the manufacturing plant
or record company. Sometimes, relevant info on the mastering is
etched into the runoff groove that could be used for reference.
Otherwise, telling others like this is a very good idea.--- In

Sixty pounds! How can anyone attempt to justify that ridiculous
overpricing? I recall trying to get Cornelius and Boredoms import CDs
in the US ten years ago, and they were $50 US even then, just crazy.
(Of course, bootleg retail prices are just as bad). At that time I
saw the band live for $15 (US), which sort of shows the dichotomy of
why many think the music industry rips people off. --- In

I like dance music too (currently boring everyone with Basic Channel
records) and i have seen the drum trio line-up - Eye wasn't playing
the sevana thingummyjig at the time. maybe i'm just getting old! of
course, part of the whole Boredoms appeal lies in their
unconventionality and mutability - but you have to wonder if the drum
trio has become self-limiting. I'm also getting old, and have a baby
to feed - so 60 quid on what my wife calls'that noise' is a bit
tricky...

if you've been lucky enough to have seen them on more than one occasion like
myself then
you can definitely see the evolution continuing. riffs, patterns, textures are
continually
building and expanding like a long-term transmutation.  i think 77boadrum and
the
proceeding 88boadrum are perhaps the pinnacle of that evolution.  i'm not sure
what
direction they  can go in after that, but i'm definitely willing to stay and
find out.

with regards to exfedex's comments about their studio work, i personally  think
seadrum is
a close approximation of their live performance and super roots 10, while not an
good
example of the ferocity (no sevena?!) of the group, does capture a part of the
dancey
boredoms which i have witnessed live a few years back in tokyo.  i like it, but
i personally
have a taste for dance music so take that for what you will.
     but i empathize with demand for a proper full length.  i feel like they
still have a
monster of a album within them still yet to be released.

on a side note, has anyone heard the new yoshimi album?  the album artwork looks
way
better than the SR10 does.

I'm not sure they'll follow the Hawkwind scenario.  LIVE they're still
very vital.  It's just that for some reason they will NOT get what
they do best into a studio!  That last tour they did was a total mind
fuck but where's the recording?

The 77 Boa Drum audio is essential.  Extremely well recorded.  The DVD
is highlights not the whole performance.  No big deal.  Super Roots 10
isn't terrible it's just ho hum.

I saw the triple drummer lineup for the first time in March 2002 and
waited and waited and waited for a studio recording.  Eye himself even
told us that the whole thing was already recorded and would be out in
August (of 2002).  I guess I'm still waiting for it.  LOL!

After 7 years of this I'm beginning to believe that they're keeping
their recorded side and their LIVE side two separate entities.
<shrugs>  Anybody's guess is as good as mine.

wow, you go away for a few months and look what happens. HMV japan has
got the boadrum cd/dvd priced at about 60 uk pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(funnily priced 7777 yen - ha ha) there's also a 12" of something +
super roots 10. I must say, a year ago I'd have plunged straight into
my magical debt card to get this stuff, but looking at all the comments
I'm not so sure if i'm bothered.

I know there's an attraction in collecting stuff that's 'hard to come
by' (even if the internet makes it dead easy, as long as you're
prepared to pay the money),but really - can anyone say that the group
has done anything really different in the last nine years? They've
become something of a leftfield institution recently, so they could
pretty much release the sound of Eye clicking his fingers 777 times and
someone would run out and buy it. I can't help thinking of ageing
hippies such as Hawkwind, eternally touring, eternally doing the same
thing in front of a fervently loyal, unquestioning fan-base...

To be fair, what makes Boredoms so great is the fact that they have
confounded everyone for decades. I personally like Super Roots 10. I
also don't care if I see one thing live and get another on record.

I agree.  NO BIG DEAL!  I don't get it.  You see them LIVE and it's
beautiful and there's always a metamorphosis from show to show of some
kind.  Then they get into a studio and do this rave stuff.  It's like
they're two bands!  They never take what they've perfected on the road
into the studio environment.

Pretty disappointing in my opinion. The Boredoms track is great, if a little
tossed off, and the remixes that comprise the rest of the album kind of suck...
They really need to release another full length studio album

             so whats it like?





























[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

so whats it like?

I don't have anything to compare it with, but it is pretty
comprehensive, with preparation, participant interviews, etc. There's
also a myspace site (see film77boadrum) with only a 90 second clip or
trailer. The VBS site was represented by someone else online as being
the same documentary product, just in streaming format. The MP3 of this
event is online, but does anyone have 2008 audio recordings?--- In

Are those ten segments on VBS.TV directly from the documentary or

There is talk of a DVD release but it is still playing in Japan in a
bunch of cities so no DVD yet. It gas only played in New York as far
as the U.S. goes. I saw it and it is pretty great to re-live all of it.
