Some people are coming across a bit jerk-y about it, but on the whole I agree that this is likely to be a coincidence.

What you need (and sorry if this has been mentioned) is a negative control. More like several.

Apply the same that you've done to a number of random tracks and see what you get.

They don't flow together, but it's suggested that tracks 10-17 on TH are musical reprises of tracks 1-8, while "Collapse" itself is perfectly palindromic.

Suggested by idiots looking for themes, meanings, and hidden messages that aren't there.

Not sure if it's been mentioned already, but I think this might be the first Boards of Canada song to utilize the Locrian mode. It occurs in the section when the first bass note kicks in with that melody atop it playing the diminished fifth, minor second, minor sixth and finally the root which ...

Really interesting analysis! I know very little about music (Perhaps to be more accurate, I'm not good at articulating what I 'sense' in music) so for someone to explain it like this was great. Thanks very much - you got a thumbs up from me!

Interesting post. Whether they've been influenced by video games or not I couldn't say, but I too have been reminded of Earthbound (and other games which escape me at the moment) once or twice when listening to some of their stuff.

Mind you, that could be because Earthbound is eerie and weird, as ...

TH has a strange addictive quality to me - I feel compelled to listen to it very often and can often play it a few times on loop in a sitting. Weirdly I didn't have this with MHTRTC and am only just getting this addiction with Geogaddi.
