I love the bits on Peacock Tail when the drums kind of strip down then start up. Very cool.

The silence in Chromakey Dreamcoat where the song stops and goes into that outro. If you have it loud enough with headphones on, the abrupt silent part messes with your ears, and makes your head swell.

Telephasic Workshop @ 4:39 sounds like 'Boards of Canada' but I think it's 'border of canada'

I love the couple of bars before Alpha and Omega drops, where it like twists from being massively saturated and faded into high quality awesomeness. Same with the drop in Telephasic Workshop too.

I also love the whole programmed drum break in Turquoise Hexagon Sun, they must have spent a very long time perfecting that because it really is perfect.

Hey all. Long time creeper, first time poster.

2:51 - 3:30 in An Eagle in Your Mind, right after "I love you". It's haunting and beautiful. That part of the song gets me every time

It shouldn't really count, but Dandelion reversed is amazing.

when the beat comes in at the start of dawn chorus, with the rising synth thing in the background and just holy shit

the very last note of smallest weird number

the very start of chromakey dreamcoat, before the beat kicks in

the end of 84 pontiac dream

the little background melody that comes in around the end of iabpoitc

the outro of sequoia

i-love-you

olson, but i dont think i really need to point that one out

the first time everything drops out except for the melody in sixtyniner

the ending and fade out of left side drive

when the melody backs out for a bit sorta near the end in julie and candy

and mutha fuckin bordering canada.

That really quiet voice in Chromakey Dreamcoat is awesome. When Left Side Drive changes up at 1:50 and those hi hats get going its like heaven. Boc are bad asses when it comes down to the simple beats and making them sound so in charge. Another thing i love hearing is when they create that drum effect that sounds like its crunching. examples are Solarium, Mukinabaht, and that other trapped remix thats on the DJ promo. i think there's another one that im forgetting but you know what I'm talking about.

As part of the crowd that prefers BOC's ambient-leaning stuff over the beat-based songs (don't get me wrong, all of them are perfect), I immediately freeze and just feel literally thrown into reflection at the beginning of audiotrack01a, Olsen, Tears from the Compound Eye, and Heard from Telegraph Lines.

I don't know how they do it, but it's like the lights dimming for meditation or the closing of the eyes for sleep; my mind just involuntarily withdraws and these are the two to four minutes that keep everything right in my head.

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

Hmmmm I'd say the part in Everything You Do Is A Balloon where it transitions from the quiet intro to the main beats. Just magic! 8)

Fun fact! (don't read on if you don't want to spoil the magic)

That same stuff ("different me's") is in Whitewater!

I absolutely love the live version of Aquarius from the Warp 10th Anniversary show. The cowbell and hi-hat intro serve as a perfect build to when the main melody launches, received with hoots and hollers from the crowd...

I've only been a fan for two and a half years. Technically, I've been a fan of "Beware The Friendly Stranger" since it came out and was featured in David Firth's videos.

So many to name, but I have a certain place in my heart for the melodic bits that come at the end of "Rue The Whirl," especially the last minute.

Okay...now...wait for fog machine.
