Hit: 4 Stars
The Boys might provide a very good point of entry for those seeking access to The Necks catalog. In many ways, their stubbornly focused and conceptually exotic music would seem difficult to adapt to a soundtrack role. And while I have not seen this film and cannot comment on how the music does or does not serve its visual master, the ideas that The Necks usually allow to stretch and bend over twenty or thirty or sixty plus minutes do remarkably well in these shorter forms. Which makes those ideas simultaneously lower in impact and more accessible to the uninitiated.
Still tough to categorise, there seems some genetic link to middle-period Soft Machine, but The Necks, like Soft Machine, are among those precious few who pretty well own their own category. There is a consistently and seemingly simple surface to these peices that, for the right kind of listener, lures the attention again and again to an abundance of inner detail and the opportunity to shift your attention left, right, up, down, front or back in any sequence or combination. In some sense, The Necks' music is almost subversive. Seemingly bent on repetition, your perception of that repetition continues to shift in emphasis, shift in timing. It's a seductive outcome that belies any first, second or third impression you take away. Alluring enough to make each listening yet another experience that eventually gives up trying to settle on a single choice within a disarmingly diverse set of ideas.
