1 year of Trans Canada Highway

Yes, today was released that EP one year ago. How do you value it now?. In my opinion Boc raised two big tracks, Left Side Drive and Skyliner. Oh fuck! Left Side Drive it's awsome!! I like a lot the "clac" of rythm sound, who know what it is? .

Actually, Trans Canada Highway came out May 29, 2006 UK and May 30, 2006 US. Do to the fact that Warp changed the date cause of the whole 666 thing.

While I love Left Side Drive (and the Nosdam remix in a certain mood), it is by far BoC's most anemic release.

I agree,..I really enjoy skyliner tho, the song has a great amount of energy, and the little vignettes in between the songs are great as well. It was just incredibly lame how they release dayvan again and latched on some remix to the end. The remix is fine, but i dont think they should have put somebody elses work on their own ep.

Yeah but it makes the EP flow good. It was a good idea bookending it with the two Dayvan's. And everything inbetween is just brilliant..a solid album.

my sentiment is pretty similar to those already stated

i love skyliner- if i ever happen upon a wealth of grainy 70's stock footage of jumbo aircraft taxiying across the tarmac on a sunny day looking magnificent and proud, i'll make a video. no wait, first i'll learn how to make a video, THEN the other stuff.

LSD would easily be my favorite track on that disc if it were -slightly- faster. but, i tried speeding it up myself several different ways, and it did no good. so i don't know what. that song haunts me.

i also love the middle part of the Nosdam remix, it is full of power. like an army of dayvan cowboys and their hippie cohorts marching over the hills in victory!

I love BOC's Trans Canada Highway. Every song on that album is awesome. For some unexplained reason I discovered that it would conjure up, quite dependably, very specific images and ideas from David Lynch's Lost Highway. It just sort of dawned on me one morning while listening to the album at around 4:20. Mary was at my side. I doubt that anyone who has seen this film would fail make this connection to the track 'Pete Standing Alone'. The title alone seems straight out of the script itself, a key scene/image/metaphor in the film. Besides the apparent textual reference the music itself seems to fit thematically just as well. Actually the entire album feels this way.

Another intriguing connection is that the artwork on BOC's Twoism album is from a low budget but (apparently) seriously cool indie film called 'Killings At Outpost Zeta'.

I don't think I'm the only one who could be experiencing this phenomena. At least I hope so. And it appears that Lynch and BOC have at least their approach to sound engineering/mixing in common

Perhaps there's more to this than meets the [mind's] eye.

Saw the first post, and thought to myself... Wow, I know its been much more than a year since TCH. Then I realized someone revived a 3 year old thread haha.

Someone here or on WATMM said "Skyliner is a million miles of music condensed into 6 minutes" and that is probably one of my most favorite quotes of all time

Fantastic Track.

I like a lot the "clac" of rythm sound, who know what it is? .

this stuff sounds really American to me, being from the west, and because LSD is kindof at a gallop, it reminds me of a muted cowbell or something, maybe a dinner bell (not a dinner triangle obviously) as the coach or settler's wagon lumbers along in the hot dusty desert.

i'm also thinking Ford Skyliner (automobile).. set to that animation of the skeleton driving the motorcycle in the Grateful Dead movie. i think it was a track from the Garcia solo album with those wicked steel pedal licks.

Me too. I thought somebody really spaced on the date. Great of Gruff to make a successful search before his first posting though.

Yeah, that is a nice quote.
