I have now lent her Geogaddi and MHTRTC
I consider this to be a small personal victory on my behalf

Yeah, I've gotten a couple of people interested in some of their songs, but not full fledged fans of BoC. It's a good feeling when you share something you love with someone else. Good work Numerator.

I know that feeling very well. It feels good for some weird reason.

Haha got the same. 1 of my mates is into the same music as me, Burial,nostalgia,massive attack, bonobo, and so on. He only gets annoyed by my boc addiction, and when we were smoking together I told him boards of canada is the best music ever to listen to when being stoned. We put it on, he ordered The Campfire Headphase straight away. It's not like he'll be a total boc head, but he loves it!

I'd love to get a few of my friends into BOC. I don't they are open minded enough though.

I almost got my old college teacher into BoC, but i left before i could give her an album :(

I also tryed to get my friends into BoC and Bibio.

They said that BoC and Bibio is good....but they much prefer to listen to the art power metal and classic acoustic instrument music from the games :?

I wish my friends will listen more mind/pleasure music....but...it's too hard to have an argue with in a music tastes :)

My boss just got an iPod two weeks ago and I turned him on to Helios and Boards. Knowing his musical tastes I suggested Campfire and he loved it. Helios not so much. I'm going to hold back on the Aphex as I don't want to make his head explode.

Hardly any of my friends like BoC, which is a shame, but one at least went out and bought MHTRTC and Geogaddi and now listens to them all the time !

I still feel though that BoC is my music, you know ? Weird, but i almost feel like it belongs to me. :?

my experience is that anyone with some open-mindedness and deepness enjoys the campfire headphase to some extend.

Me and my friend sort of got each other into BoC... at first we were uneasy about it (being in 8th grade, it was a bit much) but of course that all changed :D

Since then I've introduced it to many people, and the majority of them have loved Campfire and the more adventurous folks with Geogaddi.

It really is great to share something like this to people that can enjoy it with the same intensity as you do.

I don't know anyone who like BoC or any of the electronic music I like. Either they have become jaded and only listen to safe, "Classic rock;" simple, toe-tapping, smooth jazz; or they think that good music is what they can find on the radio (Eminem/Metallica/Rhianna, etc.).

I have nothing aganst music that sucks (I love the Ramones, Adam Ant, and TV On The Radio). I also am a huge fan of jazz (mostly avant garde), but it amazes me how these blokes freak out when they hear BoC or Gescom (Or even Ochre). They seem incapable of appreciating anything but the trash that they are used to.
You don't hear me not complaining
