POPPY SEED (REPRISE) - this track should be called BOC MAXIMA!
the mid section of the track and the way it fades into eternity is just awesome,this is the soundtrack to the sandison brothers dreams!

I can't believe all the melodies in this song. It's hard to believe someone could make something like this, so beautiful and optimistic. I can't fathom how something exterior to a human being could be so undeniably emotive on its own.

...I'm gushing.

One of my absolute favorites for sure. Can't get enough of it. I love how it contrasts to the main track.

yep! absolutely love the main track,if you play them in sequence,its like emerging from the darkness into the brightest,most vivid colourful light ever!
kaleidoscopic is the best word i can come up with to describe these and a lot of other boc tracks

Great song indeed. Both the Remix and the (Reprise) are fantastic.

When people ask me what song made me get Boards I always answer with Poppy Seed (Reprise).

This is a great song for sure.

Interestingly I have two versions of the poppy seed, the one linked to in the video and a pure synth version, also labled as a boc song (its excelent also). Can anyone shed any light on the other version? I can upload it if nobody knows what im talking about. I hadnt even heard the original version before though, so now I have heard three versions .

[edit]
ah sorry, as usual I was just confused. Here is the version I was refering too.

The synths are about as good as i've ever heard synths programmed.

To me, "Prime Audio Soup" doesn't get enough appreciation. The ending is so good.

sunshine recorder · Post by **sunshine recorder** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 7:36 am

agreed, prime audio soup is a really subtle track,it doesn,t sound like boc have influenced the track too much at first,but the sandison atmosphere slowly starts to creep into the background and by the end it is just bliss!

I really like "She is P" I disregard a lot of Old Tunes tracks but that one often catches me offguard at how good it sounds.
