BOC: Article in Seconds Magazine

[John A Swartz]

>Yet on other records, some of BOC's best stuff came from
outsiders, inc. the above Mr. Pearlman.  Love him or hate him, ya
gotta admit Sandy knew how to write stuff [and produce it] that
epitomized BOC, and fit its personnel to the tee.

Or, BOC had a knack for writing very cool music to fit Pearlman's
lyrics and images.  Probably a little of both.  Certainly Pearlman's
influence on early BOC can not be denied.  BOC later went on with
some success without Pearlman.  Pearlman freely admits that Club
Ninja was the worst thing he's ever been associated with, but he
implies that the reason for that is that even he couldn't turn BOC's
shit into gold --> note: that's not a quote from him, but my
interpretation of what he said in the interview.
