Eagle is such an exemplary BoC track, it has all the elements - mystery, natural themes, vintage tv vocal clip balanced teasingly on the edge of comprehension, distorted samples of children, excellent beat, and it's all put together with this wonderful sense of direction and development - it starts in one place and keeps moving, blending elements in and out as it goes. The amount they pack in this one tune is really astounding. It's a bit like Oscar See Through Red Eye in that respect, but less flashy.

I'm pretty sure mine is still Whitewater, and shall always be.

My favorite song is usually whatever is playing at the time. But if I had a gun to my head I would have to say Dawn Chorus.

The Odd Nosdam remix of Dayvan Cowboy is REALLY growing on me!

I was thinking that exact same thought the other day. Love it now.

Aye, well I've always loved that.

The song I'm digging the most at this very moment is probably Kid For Today

1. Left Side Drive
2. An Eagle in Your Mind
3. Melissa Juice
4. Davie Addison

Oh man, this is difficult... Let's see... in no particular order.

Dayvan Cowboy
Peacock Tail
Happy Cycling
Pete Standing Alone
Sixtyniner (Twoism version)
Aquarius (version 3)
Alpha and Omega
You Could Feel the Sky
Left Side Drive
Open the Light

The list goes on... I've just realised how difficult it is to pick my favourite tracks... the thing about Boards of Canada is, there isn't a single song post-Twoism that I don't like (I've only heard Twoism once and aside from Sixtyniner, I didn't really like it-- I'll give it an opportunity to grow on me, though.)

Thanks for the welcomes!

I'm glad there's so much Amo Bishop Roden love hear. I've listened to the song at least once every day for the past 10 months (ok not EVERYDAY, but on average it's more than 1play/day). It's my most played BoC track and I find it impossible to get sick of it.

My other absolute favs are....well there's so many but I'd have to pick out Sixtyten, Melissa Juice, Slow This Bird Down, Alpha and Omega and Twoism.
