I searched the forums and there were no results regarding BCO.
Now, due to the large amount of releases, and the fact that i only heard a couple which were really hit or miss. I was wondering what here think of this group, and what your fave releases are, if you have any at all ?
I only own a couple things from BBBCCCOOO, so I can't help. This blog has 50-60 releases available for listen. I might even venture to guess it is they behind that blog.

thanks for the link, great blog.
bco is one of those 'impossible' bands. some things are really good (arph arph arph, day dreams of night) and some are really bad. too much to ever know a complete list of which-is-which.
I don't like Arph, Arph, Arph at all! I first heard them on that tape at WZRD, and I thought it was horrible!
However, I haven't otherwise been disappointed in this group.
I put out a compilation with them on it, and I didn't even know that the track was a cover of Faust. This is orginally from a CDR called "Cockamame", which apparently is limited to 400 copies and "not for sale". They sent it to my old radio show some years ago. The CDR in question, has some really nice synth bass/cicada drones, some Current 93isms that I find pleasant enough (never been into much of c930), and in general it's just a diverse and fully formed release. You may be able to trade with them. http://www.discogs.com/Bigg-City-Oorgastraw-Cockamame/release/3869271
I also like their CDr on Obfuscated Records, mostly deep synth stuff.
There was a stream of them doing 20-something synthesizers for 20 hours, or something like that. I know I played some of it on the radio. I wish I remembered what it was called.
Their head member "das", seems to do sound design for cartoons or something, so he has a collection of sound effects and has done Cowboy Soundtracks and Love themed cheesy albums that, if that's up your alley, are really well made. It's a bit more poppy than Negativland, but still screwed up and noisy.
