Boards of Canada set list

Well I have lived in this town for nearly 3 years now and finally I have met a couple of BoC fans and as it so happens they host an "open deck" night at a local music venue.

They asked me to bring my BoC vinyl to start the night off this Thursday. I'm really looking forward to this, I get the chance to play BoC`s music very loud on an awesome sound system in public

Anyway I can only play a few tunes so based on my collection I was thinking this might be a good set.
I am hoping some people who have never heard BoC will be intrigued.

1. Hi Scores
2. Everything you do is a balloon
3. Skyliner
4. Dayvan cowboy

(If there is an Mp3 hookup by the decks I will finish with iced cooly beatnik, that would sound bad ass, really loud on a good system)

What would you play?

If the crowd seemed into it, I'd throw in Eagle in your Mind!
Maybe Kid for Today.
Possibly Dawn Chorus
Maaaaaybe Julie and Candy, but.. only maybe.

And I'd probably do Ready Let's Go + Music is Math to start it all out

Telephasic Workshop
Julie and Candy
Amo Bishop Roden
Dayvan Cowboy
Good Friday Remix

"Oscar See Through Red Eye" and the "Broken Drum" remix would be my picks. From start to finish they're both just amazingly complex and engaging to listen to.

"Hi Scores" seems like an odd choice to me. It's pretty primitive and repetitive compared to a lot of their work.

I think this is a very good list. Have you put them in order of play? I'd be inclined to switch 2 and 3 around...

Choices I'd consider:

Telephasic Workshop
Possibly Sunshine Recorder or Alpha And Omega - two off Geogaddi that I'd put down as a 'maybe'

And finally, two completely opposite choices that would be much more interesting to play - either Nlogax for a bit of disco fun just to see the reaction, or the full-length Chinook (if you've got it to hand)!

Personally, if it was a one-off thing on a good setup, I'd be extremely tempted to play Chinook...

June 9th (Hi Scores)

+1 for Telephasic Workshop and Chinook.

Also consider: Pete Standing Alone

I definitely recommend a track off of campfire headphase- a lot of people will recognize something like chromakey or saturday sun.

but you should also throw in some of their more danceable stuff...

Aquarius

Dawn Chorus or Julie and Candy

Everything you do is a Balloon

1969.

If only I had the Geogaddi and MHTRTC vinyl :-(

Id love to play telephasic workshop. Also 1969 in the sunshine would go down well I would think.

I'd definitley run with Happy Cycling - it's got the best drop (except maybe Davyan or Aquarius)

I would go with your list

. it's a good start for the people that never heard their music before.

I'd kick it of with Julie and Candy and leave An Eagle in Your Mind as the encore... Fill the two in between with whatever tickles your fancy!

Buckie High would be a dope track to drop too.

Of their collection what do you actually have on vinyl? Just so I can get a better idea of what songs to recommend cuz I mostly recommended Geoggadi stuff lol

Well I did the set, it was great, errm apart from the fact there were only 4 people there haha.

I have pretty much all the vinyl apart from MHTRTC and Geogaddi.

I ended up playing,

Skyliner
Everything you do is a balloon
Dayvan cowboy
Base free
Kid for today
Hi Scores
Melissa Juice

I'm sure there are better combinations but oh well, it was just fun hearing this music loud on a great sound system in a public venue.. A first for me.
