Rebirth of Gerberdaisy is the fifth BOOF longplayer. Ten-track, double vinyl released on Running Back in collaboration with Bubbletease Communications. Produced by Maurice Fulton.
"Maurice Fulton is infamously press-shy, but you can get a good idea of his personality through his music. A Maurice Fulton record embodies the idea of being high on life. Joy seems to permeate every surface and sound in his music. Fulton has many aliases and projects, and my favourite is BOOF, the name he dusts off every five years or so for a celebration of funk, techno and jazzy noodling. The records are all flower-themed, and they burst out of the speakers like springtime in bloom. Rebirth of Gerberdaisy (a reference to the first BOOF record, Life Is Water For Gerbadaisies When They Are Dancing) might be his best one yet, as much a showcase for his multi-talented fingers -- guitar, piano, drums, organ, shamisen -- as his production skills . . . No matter what style or approach he's taken, Fulton has always had a vibrant outlook and gifted approach to music. The BOOF records are like a quantized version of the Parliament Funkadelic LPs that blazed a new trail through soul, funk and progressive rock in the '70s. They simmer and boil over with the same infectious, half-winking energy of Fulton's hero George Clinton. But you can't really compare Fulton with anyone else, and there isn't a moment on Rebirth of Gerberdaisy, through all of its stylistic shifts, that doesn't sound exactly like Maurice Fulton. After all, why settle for one genre when you can make them all sound like your own?" --Andrew Ryce for Resident Advisor

2020 repress; double LP version. The Hydrangeas Whisper is Maurice Fulton's first Boof material since 2011's Shhh, Dandelions At Play (RB 003CD), an album that was swiftly re-issued on CD by Running Back, as presumably Gerd Janson wanted to save it from obscurity. Like previous excursions under the long-running pseudonym (Fulton first used it way back in 1999), The Hydrangeas Whisper presents the more flowery, melodious and, on occasion, smoother side of the producer's work; warm, often organic deep house littered with live instrumentation, drenched in dub delay and touched by his usual rich, dancefloor-friendly disco influences. There are many reasons to love Maurice Fulton, not least the majestic, off-kilter nature of his finest musical moments, but his pig-headed desire to stick two fingers up at the music industry machine is arguably not one of them.

First there was Life Is Water For Gerbadaisies When They Are Dancing, then there was A Soft Kiss By A Rose, now we have Shhh, Dandelions At Play -- the latest album by Boof. Produced by legendary house producer, Maurice Fulton. Super-funky bass, ultra squelchy, squealing synths, claps, pianos and other bizarro dance elements.
