i think the deal was that while the critical masses eventually found their warp debut, it was really when geogaddi hit that people got really into it and their sound became "known." so when this album came out it was no longer a revelatory sound for these people and it was kind of their inexplicable quality that made people like them so much.
i think the truth is that this album gets a bad rep. i keep revisiting it and it's at least better than "music has a right" which i think is grossly overrated, and probably better than geogaddi, even though both have their glaring weak spots (parts of headphase seem a little forced, geogaddi can get really cheesy). i think whatever album you find them with is going to be your favorite one, while the others dont *quite* measure up.

one thing i think all BoC fans can agree on, is that "in a beautiful place out in the country" is a fantastic ep.
