What is your favourite sample used by BOC?

Totally that shamanic "woo--aaAAhhh" "oooOOo-o" in you could feel the sky. That whole section gives me epic hallucinatory visions... o_O

where do I hear these? I don't hear them.

I also have a really hard time enjoy opening the mouth and the "screams" of YCFTS they scare me.

The "look up there!" sample is towards the end of A is to B as B is to C. It's a somewhat faint, repeating, coarse female voice clip that doesn't really match anything else in the track.

The vocal samples at the end of Music is Math when slowed down appear to be saying "red". If it's just gibberish though it doesn't matter, that's the sample I'm referring to.

Never heard the "help me I am sick" sample. If it's the vocoder, it's been assumed that the phrase is probably "we all fall down". If it's the male voice in the background, most people say either "purple" or "be careful". If it's something else, I haven't noticed it.

The little ones that you only notice years after listening. Most of mine have been said but what sounds like a train going over railway tracks in Chromakey Dreamcoat (1:30-2:00)

Wow, I can't believe I never noticed that before! I've listened to that track so many times, and now that you point it out, it's obvious, I heard it straight away!

I love "1, 2, 3 and 4".

I always loved the scratch samples in AEIYM. I think they made them themselves

Jonse · Post by **Jonse** » Thu Sep 18, 2014 1:54 pm

If I forgot "IIIIIIIIIIII'm listening..." then that one is definitely included somewhere there.

That's because they did it right.

I know only two musical acts capable of sampling in this particular way 100% without breaking the illusion. That is, to insert a sample either vocally or musically in such a way that it either blends or imitates its accompanying sound on a "musically unconscious" level, so noticing it without being given the information that it is there may take years, if you ever notice it.

Boards has hundreds of secrets hidden in plain sight.

"La la, la laaaaaa!" in Dawn Chorus

I'm sure most probably totally overlook this bit but to me that little arpeggio in Satellite Anthem Icarus at 1:05 is spectacular, along with those waves too.. mmm.

To name a few

'Aaaah Disney' from other variants of Aquarius.

Integrating the mobile phone pre-incoming signal in to New Seeds.

'it's in your head/ take my hand' from Seven Forty Seven
(also makes an appearance in You could feel the sky)

the random noise followed by a host of voices saying 'wow' in Orange Romeda
(also used in Nine Rubber Wisdom)

Most of Geogaddi is gold but there are some parts that are trance-like.

Redpoint-Opening the Mouth-A&O (mostly centered around Opening the Mouth though) and You Could Feel the Sky are two of them, and even if you're not on some sort of hallucinogen, just put on some good headphones, lay or recline in a room with the lights off, close your eyes and try just to focus on ONLY the music.

Clear everything else out of your mind.

It's a beautiful state that's hard to hold on to.

Is that sample by any chance spoken by a male voice in the second half of the song? Because it's "I'm listening" if so.

I think you may be right. I've always liked the ambiguity of boards' vocal samples though.
It says a lot about my state of mind interpreting it as 'Disney' or 'Miss me'

I've always loved the robotic 'I Love You' in An Eagle in Your Mind. Not sure if that is a sample though.

The orgasmic voice in Dawn Chorus is also brilliantly used.

"For sand and stars" from Aquarius.

The laughing woman's voice from right at the end of Chromakey. Makes me euphoric.

"I don't know, I just wish it never happened. The whole thing just, goes over and over." from A:B::B:C.

"The holts are evenly spaced," I love how the pitch of the voice shifts in a really disconcerting way when he says, "about five hundred meters apart." From An Eagle.

In Dawn Chorus, a haunting melodic voice repeating "It's not that bad..." for the second half of the song. I actually wonder if most of us notice that one? It seemed so obvious once I heard it, but it took me years.

The sound of either lightning, or a train, or both from the end of Transmissiones Ferox.

And these days, most of all, one from Sick Times. This one is really infectious and I've had it that back of my mind for months. In the left channel: "Thank you." In the right, a response: "Goodbye."

I think the voice you mentioned says: "You might be dead", not "It's not that bad".

Nope, that's a different one. The one I mentioned starts at 2:30 and loops right till the end and is buried low in the mix. Lower than "you might be dead" (which imo is very present). It is hard to notice until you get it, because they fit it so well with the track. It is very melodic.

Not to sound stereotypical, but it really blew my mind when I first heard it. It all seems so obvious after the fact.

1. The fanfare at the beginning of Red Moss
2. The inaudible talking in Turquoise Hexagon Sun
3. The ghostly voices in Olson v2 (also used in Dirty Great Marble)
4. FLYYYY!! in Orange Romeda
5. The Sliced and chopped vocals in Tele Workshop
6. "It's alright!" in Sixtyten
7. OOOORRRANGE! (yeah that's right!) in Aquarius
8. The counting in Gyroscope
9. "I'm an ea gle in youurr mi iind" in Sunshine recorder
10. The sound at 6:02 and again at 6:15 on Alpha and Omega
11. "wwwaaaaaahhh!" in The Devil Is In The Details. 1:50 for example
12. The same sample from 11 used in Dawn Chorus
13. "She might be dead" from Dawn Chorus
14. The fanfare sample at 00:28 and repeated later on 84' Pontiac Dream
15. The chopped vocal samples starting at 2:59 on Palace Posy
16. The HEAVILY distorted talking in Split Your Infinities, talking about a possible concentration camp. Creeps the fuck out of me but I love it anyway.
17. Absolute fave: the heavily muffled and distorted voices and shortwave radio noises that start at around 01:50 at the end of Transmissions Ferox. Listen to it with good headphones, because might not hear it otherwise
18. The scary shit that sounds like alien talk and radio malfunctions in the background of Collapse. I also like how it gets even louder at the end and then the song cuts off randomly and Palace Posy begins.
