The Flute sounds in 'poppy seed' are magical.

I would have to say the melody in Dandelion when it's reversed (if that counts). So perfect.



That and the synth that fades in around 4:00 mark of Left Side Drive.

Turquoise Hexagon Sun still moves me deeply. So deceptively simple and sparse, I'm five again!
Goldmund's piano interpretation is quite lovely too

Amo Bishop Roden is the heartstringer for me.

Kid For Today is the pretty melodies.

I wonder how BoC feel about so many people's favourite tracks or melodies being their unreleased material. I doubt it bothers them too much, but even after all they've done since those days...!

I have a feeling some people just cite those pieces to appear 'expert'!! However there is something very special about the minimal, home-taped quality of them

I don't think that's really a Boc melody though, I'm pretty sure it's entirely samples from somewhere. It's a few second loop reversed and timestretched which becomes stronger as the piece goes on. Here's what the beginning of it sounds reversed: I doubt that's recorded by the Boards themselves but it's not impossible either. Does anyone recognize the possible source?

Edit: Actually it's not timestretched, the reverb becomes stronger at points which gives a similar effect at points.

I like this melody too, but I think its too fast, is why I did this and found what I think is the true original melody, imho.

I actually reveresed that one myself to figure out what it was. If I recall correctly, it was a hymn, perhaps a Psalm or something like that. I don't remember. I tried to find a source, but alas, could not. I should have put that up on the wiki. Oh well.

Don't see how anyone's saying anything but the intro to Everything You Do, in terms of heart-string-pulling it definitely takes the cake

No love for Constants Are Changing? Arguably the most "bocy" melody ever.

I would be surprised if this one hadn't been mentioned:

From One Source All Things Depend.

Seriously beautiful song. It takes a lot to make me cry these days but that still makes me shed a tear without fail.
