Soothing and very enjoyable in a strange way. I can't really name something I like about it, but I like it.

I like it, it has that analog synth that to Me is vaguely reminiscent of the old Genesis game Columns, I know it's a tenuous link but it's what comes to mind at first.

Kaini Industries 6/10

In terms of full songs, it doesn't rate high. It's repetitive and doesn't go anywhere. On the other hand, you can't really treat these interludes as full songs. BoC's albums aren't meant to be listened to piecemeal.

Uplifting psychodelic melody and catchy rhythm, classic Boards of Canada, this one opens up when you don't expect it, 9/10

Slow this bird down

slow this bird down

amazing track. the atmosphere and sound is absolutely incredible. slow this bird down is a perfect song to gear for the end of a long journey which is the campfire headphase. the last minute of slow this bird down might be one of my favorite moments in all of bocs music. the little bit of music toward the end is so nostalgic, but very sad. because it marks the end of the journey. 9/10

I must not be a realfan© because this is sure to be a disgraceful review of this incredible track. One of my favorites. Even as I begin to lose a bit of interest in BOC as I approach the hill (not very close, lol), this track pervades. 1:58 (ARE YOU SERIOUS!?). I can still remember my very first time hearing this track. It still plays out like a story to me, something very personal, but at the same time, universal. That probably doesn't make much sense at all. The most sobering outro they've ever done IMO. One of my GOTO tracks for a BOC noob.

8/10 - A clear front-runner for most memorable melody of TH, coupled with percussion that feels equally powerful and precise - undoubtedly the most immediate track of the album. Familiarly BOC and - should someone not have the time to play TH whole - one of the songs I'd recommend as a must-listen.

Up against the sheer competition from certain songs on other albums, just off the mark from what would be a 9.

One of the more calming/soothing interlude tracks and a longer one at over 2 minutes. 8/10.

Heard From Telegraph Lines

heard from the telegraph lines

this is among my favorite from BOC. i put the track on, and am listening to it now. just to remind myself how much i love it. but this track is more than music. its a feeling. its a distant memory that you cant quite put your finger on. but its home. 10\10

im going to use the same track for the next poster. since id like to hear someone else's opinion on the track, its nice to see the varying viewpoints on a song. i could understand if some people viewed the track as just random noise, or boring. but to me its much more.

Bumping this thread because it's a cool idea

heard from the telegraph lines

9.5/10. The soundscape in this one feels much thicker and more captivating than other short tunes by them, really makes me feel a perfect blend of happiness and anticipation for the future. I'd give it a 10, but I know there will be a perfect moment for this tune to really hit me and I'm waiting for that moment. Gorgeous track.

Powerline Misfortune

Powerline Misfortune

8.5/10 Sad, Bleak, Haunting. Rainswept days stood looking out the window. If like me you grew up in the UK (Scotland to be exact)this might just remind you of those old Public Information Films,especially the ones warning of hidden dangers where the children are playing near power lines or electricity sub-stations and fly their kites into pylons or go to retrieve a trapped Frisbee from a live generator leading to, as the title says "Powerline Misfortune" and a horrible end.

Wonderful morose stuff, yeh?

I Really hope they will release most or all of the old BOC stuff. It's All Brilliant.
