Mask 100: Korona

One of the last BOC tracks I ever heard and it may have been the result of me consuming the whole catalog first, but to me this track sounds pretty standard for 90's BOC (which for one of the least standard IDM bands, that may be a problem.) It consists of a simple, rumbling drum pattern, some ominous synths, a good synth line that comes and goes and the Sesame Street "I love you" sample that enamored them enough to include it in three other songs. One of my biggest qualms with it, is the not-so evocative drumline which tires me out in 30 seconds. In 1996, they were still building to that crisp and ambiguous drum programing from the Music Has The Right To Children era and hadn't quite reached it.

All in all, a pleasant, slightly ominous track but you can understand why they handed it to an obscure sampler on Skam. It's a nice track, but compared with some of the giant tracks they released in the 90s, this is certainly one that won't make any…
