Worst, boc track, ever!

I feel the same way about corsair, magic window and from one source noby. It's kind of weird since it's just a bonus track, but I feel incomplete when I listen to the whole album without from one source...it kind of brings me back to the real world. On the other hand I rarely listen to TCH with Macquarie Ridge. I love Macquarie Ridge, but on it's own, not as part of the album.

Yeah same here, there's too much mood swing between it and Farewell Fire. And the title Farewell Fire already implies it's closing time.

I usually still listen to Happy Cycling with MHTRC despite not really caring for it. One Very Important Thought would be a logical closer, but since I have the bonus there, I might as well let it spin. Maybe it'll click with me one day. *shrug*

I just remembered my actual least favourite track... it's One Source. I'm pretty confident it doesn't necessarily reflect the Sandison brothers' beliefs in any way, however I don't like the use of samples. The only bonus track I was disappointed with compared to the monumental Happy Cycling and Macquarie Ridge.

Spirit Fingers wrote:Surprised to see so much hate for Zoetrope! it was the first BoC track I ever heard, five years ago (on a shoegaze compilation oddly enough) and it's still one of my very favorites. It's simplicity is exactly what makes it beautiful to me.

as for my own least favorite, I'm not terribly fond of Iced Cooly or Rue The Whirl. I feel like RTW is the sole weak link in MHTRTC.

That compilation didn't happen to be Sci-Fi-Lo-Fi Volume 1, did it?

Anyway, I never really cared much for Telephasic Workshop to be honest. It just never goes anywhere fast enough and sort of bores me. Never understood why it seems to be a favorite of many people. From One Source doesn't do anything for me either.

NO WAY!! hahaha... i love that intro synth! One of my fav BOC of all time.

Gyroscope gives me a headache.

I never really got into The Beach at Redpoint. And Magic Window, of course.

For me it has always been "1969". The vocal parts just feel contrived and 'cheap' for BOC, something I'd expect from lesser artists. Still love the music though

damn so many of these are my favs. i always thought macquarie ridge to exist in this dream space...aa after farewell fire it just brings you to this place up in the sky

iced cooley also makes twoism for me

that makes it real cool though, to see how different peoples sensibilities to boc are.

for me... i don't listen to Hi Scores much.

I think the version on Old Tunes Vol. 2 is awesome. I really like how it flows into Geometric Piss. the version from the Hi Scores EP is great too though.

I think overall though I probably listen to the whole Hi Scores EP the least. maybe Twoism too. they're still incredible though.

Magic Window, because that blank track could be used with another great song, or a extended Corsair version.

Trapped is kinda annoying. Farewell Fire is just kinda there to me. Same with The Beach at Redpoint.

d e n · Post by **d e n** » Sun Jun 09, 2013 8:05 pm

i heard trapped for the first time today and was so psyched... so bad ass they made that.

another addition to something I listen to rarely is Nlogax.

I love trapped. I love all that weirdass melty cough syrup music on those tapes.

The Friendly Stranger · Sun Jun 09, 2013 8:14 pm

Hey Saturday Sun for me. I have no idea why but the chord progression seems so lazy and predictable to my ears. I've never gotten on with Zoetrope either really which is a shame as the rest of that EP is breathtaking.

Nlogax here. Don't know why. I just can't stand it.

lol, I love both Saturday Sun and Nlogax.
