NO i take it back, it was over the horizon radar, in firth's 'the scribbler'.

I second this. Then I did a youtube search on boc and got hooked on music is math.

i stumbled across BOC at a friends house - burnt geogaddi to a disk...and the rest is history. it must be said that they didn't click instantly...

In A Beautiful Place... on MTV Extreme compilation. Haunted me for a year or so until I heard Happy Cycling, which forced my hand.

It was telephasic workshop. My life hasn't been the same since. Truly.

It was Chromakey Dreamcoat.

My friend sat me down and told me that I HAD to listen to this CD and thats what I did, listened to the hole thing in one sitting and was hooked.

Eagle in Your Mind. I loved it and instantly wanted more.

not to be a n00b, but it was dayvan cowboy. I think I heard it in spring of 2007. An old girlfriend sent it to me saying "this is their best song". I fell in love instantly (as my last.fm will show). Out of curiosity, I downloaded the Campfire Headphase and I've been hooked ever since!

kind of weird, but..
Twoism (1995 release).
i was 3.
it was a family friend that was driving me somewhere.. we went through the album.. and i loved it.
or, you know, at least i'm almost positive i remember loving it.
then i heard twoism again when i was around 9 and had to find out who it was.
luckily, my parents were cool with a 9 year old browsing the interwebs.

been in love ever since.

The Summer Of 2007 i believe, Aquarius!
I was addicted straight away, the bass was too funky for me to resist, and the errie synth and the orange. Couldnt look at an orange afterwards without saying out orange lol

I think i heard dawn chorus the summer before in a coffeeshop in amsterdam, everytime i hear dawn chorus i always remember that time.

Ready Let's Go I believe it was... yes, I was at my friend's house a couple of years ago and apparently he'd had a thing for this cool album "Geogaddi" for quite awhile, so I popped it into the CD player. At first I was quite afraid of the music style, too dark for me. Things have changed, of course.

Ditto. I must have read a glowing review of MHTRTC someplace (probably NME or Melody Maker) and that, along with the Warp connection, made me buy it.

Took a couple of listens for me to love it. Guess I was expecting something closer to Ae or Aphex at first.

First BoC song I heard was Sixtyniner three years ago. A friend had downloaded twoism and gave it to me, and over the year I kept on coming back to that album. The irony is the friend that gave it to me ended up hating the music, and now i'm a huge fan with twoism being my favorite album.

my sister just walked in and asked what I was listening to, I replied that it was Boards of Canada, she hilariously replied with "well, they should call them BORING OF CANADA!!"
she's still pissing herself laughing over that one

if those people that say its boring or anti-climatic just took some time to themselves and listened to the songs with some headphones, theyd be hooked.
