I think "Kiteracer 2" is a gorgeous but seldom mentioned example of early BOC, and found this fairly 'new' video for it which I really like (very poignant piece, an old film following the building of the twin towers but played in reverse!)
...what subtlety?

"She is P" from Old Tunes Vol. 1 is one of my favorites that I don't hear mentioned much.

I really love original hi-scores, don't see it mentioned much. I love that tense ascending synth.

I always heard it more as a piano than a flute but I know what you mean and it's one of my favorite little boc things ever.

Goddamn. I love Kiteracer 2. Probably one of my all-time favorite BoC songs

I love all of these. Zoetrope is brilliant, imo.

Olson.



Difficult to put into words how wonderful this track is. I've always been surprised it wasn't the last track on the album though - those piano chords drifting off into nothing at the end have an incredible finality.

I don't think Olsen is underrated at all. Lots of love for that track.

For me: triangles and rhombuses, under the coke sign, Spectrum, Cold Earth
