Why would you refuse to listen to old tunes? they are amazing tracks regardless of anything else.

Exactly. I almost went out of listening to BoC, but then I listened to AFOT, which I really liked. I'm scared of doing it again, so I'm saving them until another time. Not refusing, wrong word, but ...

I refuse to listen to Old Tunes Volume 1 or 2 until I reach this stage.

Other than that, I agree with everyone else. It's music. It's entertainment. No one's forcing you to do anything, except buy the next album...

I was so close to searching for Cattlemouth Lament there. It sounded like some sort of ambient BoC track along the lines of 'Farewell Fire'.

Have got Oversteps and it's still early stages, but I'm really enjoying it. I think it may be more ambient than Amber.

I love everything Autechre has done. No matter what mood I'm in, there's guaranteed to be a song to match it. Something like Draft 7.30 is a great album to do heavy thinking to ...

Every other artist on the warp label release an album every year or two and

drukqs?

Anyway, Infinite Sevens and the replies have nailed it on the head. The more reclusive they are, the more people crave for their music and respect what they've released. It's the perfect marketing ploy ...

Yes, Teletext and Ceefax were amazing, I remember when I first saw it I thought that the PC and TV had combined. Unfortunately I was pretty wrong.

Anyway, brilliant summary of a core component of BoC's sound.

Try playing it, it's how I discovered BoC. It's got some of BoC's best vignettes in it.

In terms of actual albums, I'm going with everyone else and saying TCH.

Really nice. Reminds me of the Kaini Industries by Bibio, which I really like, but with drums as well and not as long to get to the point.

Original Pirate Material?

Never really listened to it properly, but a lot cite it as the best of UK garage.

Music Has the Right to be Made by Children.

The reel to reel is made out of crackers (which are quite dry and brittle, making them difficult to work with)

Personally I'd use oatcakes to give a more nostalgic sound to it, but then again I shouldn't question BoC, they seem to know what they're doing when it comes to edible electronic ...

Liking the mixing of samples there:

"That man has no legs!"

(Disappointedly) "Oh...."

I need to read through mdg's statements properly, thanks for the quote. I like the idea that they're going to try changing it while keeping it BoC, that would mean that it's not going to change too much, but we're not faced with a Geogaddi or MHTRTC 2.

Lol at the idea that they've run out of 60's ...

Now this is just a completely random idea, and I can see people picking holes in it in a matter of posts.

Possibly the reason why it has taken roughly 4 years for BoC to release everything is that they've had to start completely from scratch.

When they were making 'Geogaddi', for example, they ...

Orange or Turquoise Album?

Colour or Style?

Twoism - Turquoise
Hi Scores - Orange
BoC Maxima - Turquoise
Music Has the Right to Children - Orange (Aquarius, obviously)
In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country - Turquoise
Geogaddi - Orange
The Campfire Headphase - Turquoise
Trans Canada ...

A is to B as B is to C always reminded me of flicking through TV/radio channels, as I think someone else has already said here. But around the point of the Teddy Bear's Picnic, it always felt like the channels flicked for the briefest second through an image of Satan or someone being ripped apart or ...

Strangest place to hear BoC

I heard Roygbiv on a Mitchell and Webb look sketch (the cheesoid one, if anyone's at all interested). I remember that before I'd ever heard of Boards of Canada I watched that sketch and thought 'that's quite a nice song. I wonder what it's called'. Small world, really.

I swear that at some point in that song it sounds like someone is stuttering over 'It is absolutely necessary' or something along those lines.

Brilliant song, there are so many people speaking that it always makes me think of a heated debate.

1. An Eagle in Your Mind
2. Sixtyten
3. Telephasic Workshop
4. Dawn Chorus
5. 84 Pontiac Dream

That's my list for now, but I'd probably change it soon since I still need to get Twoism/Old Tunes.
