In no particular order.....

Dawn Chorus (it's what got me into BoC)
Seven Forty Seven
Amo Bishop Roden
Turquoise Hexagon Sun
Happy Cycling (especially the end)
5-9-78
Mansel
To The Wind
Sherbet Head
Slow This Bird Down
Everything You Do is a Baloon
Oirectine
Mukhinabaht
The Beach at Redpoint
Julie and Candy

....Buckie High too


Slow This Bird Down was one of the first songs I heard by them that got me into them. I don't think I've ever seen anyone mention it on this forum....kinda disappointing.

edit: Nevermind....I felt kind of bad after saying that so I looked more and saw it was in some people's top 5 :)

It's not my favorite track by any means, but when I was a freshman in college I used to wake up to Dawn Chorus every morning as my alarm clock, and it just gave the whole morning process/walk to class, the most ethereal feeling that lingered with my long after I had hit snooze and stopped the song from playing. Five years later I can still think back and feel exactly like I did then when I hear it.

I guess that's more of a brainfuck than an eargasm, but noteworthy.

I'm going to go there and listen to Geogaddi until I transcend.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for bright synthesizer melodies, but the Poppy Seed Reprise is TOP NOTCH.

XYZ hit me pretty hard the other day. That intro is just so fucking dark and awesome.

I was also going to mention Poppy Seed Reprise, but Seeya beat me to it. Probably the "happiest" BOC song I've ever heard. My go to "get in a good mood" song.

Yeah, the intro to XYZ is absolutely stunning. Very Pink Floyd-esque IMO.

Pretty much all their music gives me intense eargasms lol..

But I guess I'd have to say EYDIAB... The transition from melancholy to simply deep at 1:43 was amazing the first time I heard it. The synths they used in that song, Jeeus!!!! lol.

The riff at the end of Slow This Bird Down is pure fucking bliss

Yes, especially after John Peel says "this is the last of Boards of Canada for tonight, this is called XYZ". Then the music starts, pure class.

I love when the beat stops at some point during Basefree. And when the man starts speaking in An Eagle in your Mind. Or Dayvan Cowboy yes. Too many of them.

Lol, Everything You Do Is A Balloon. Also, when the main drum line kicks in after that great snare roll sample.

This post is reserved for the heaviest ear-orgasms i've had:

-Everything You Do Is A Balloon(the very end)
-You Could Feel The Sky(reversed and forwarded)
-Amo Bishop Roden's main melody.
-Dayvan Cowboy(listening to when driving on a canadian-nature highway)
-Whitewater(when synths play at 0:58)
-1986 Summer Fire(...the whole thing...)
-Seeya Later(when synths pick it up)
-Olson(piano outro)
-1969(hearing the voice talk about Amo Roden being a devoted member of the Branch Davidians)
-A is to B as B is to C(reversed...from the original release, that is...)
-Peace, Tony, Devil (hearing Tony.)

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The way the vocals "1969 in the sunshine" are mixed are absolutely brilliant in my opinion. I could listen to that section of the song for hours.

Tears From The Compound Eye is in my top 10 favorite songs of all time. I've cried listening to this.

In a Beautiful Place Out In The Country ranks up there on "tracks I could repeat for hours" - in fact the entire EP does.

"From One Source All Things Depend" isn't an eargasm but it puts a huge smile on my face. Especially the kid that starts screaming about how he could be standing on the table but you can't see him.

From one source all things depend is amazing, that part about him being on the table is good, but the best part (in my opinion) is that god is kinda big and fat :P
