Anyone else?
I think it's ATP # 2, not the mark above. Specifically searched this topic because I think it sounds VERY close to track 2 at ATP- the synths and melody- esp around the 1:25 mark when the higher line comes in. I played Cold Earth over top of it too and can't help but see a very close resemblance.

No?

Aha! You're both right!!



This is APT #2. Give it five seconds from the point I just gave you. You'll hear that higher-pitched synth line that we all know and love from Cold Earth, where it acts as more of a melody.

However, the 44:06 mark from the other link also TOTALLY has the same chord structure.

Everybody wins! Good ears, people.

Cold Earth flows seemlessly into Transmisiones Ferox if you amplify the end of the former and the beginning of the latter, so it seems like they have always remained together in the track listing.

99% sure the main synth chord progression is sampled directly from the opening notes from the 'Tales of the Darkside' intro by transposing down.

Super solid track. very 3D, but not just how it sounds, but the visiuals it gives to you, remember was listening to it on shrooms. very vibrant sound, just detonates your brain up with all the frequency after that first drop

bump, this track could be easily one of the best on the album, just rename it "mad hectic BOC beats" or "cosmic particle ray shower " I perefer the last one,

still this track feels somehow out of place? it easily could be on any other boc record, or possible new EP?

Just discovered this song by Peverelist...did Boards of Canada rip off the beginning for Cold Earth? Came out a year beforehand. Probably a coincidence.

I saw my future. I saw my past. For a few minutes it was like being alive.

Thanks for sharing, good track! And yes it sounds eerily similar. But as you said probably a coincidence, well spotted though!

This is the same chord structure used in An Eagle in Your Mind and towards the end of Sick Times. It seems to be a recurring pattern for them.

I've made a short video to show the recurring chord patterns. I will make another one for all the variants of the Olson one at some point soon.

Neat! I'm interested to hear the other ones!

As for "Cold Earth," the song definitely has more of a "TCH" mid-2000's vibe to it. I bet anything it was one of the first tracks to be written for Tomorrow's Harvest... Who knows, maybe it started life as an unfinished TCH track.

nah, I think it's a bit too "cold" or "sad" (idk how to put that in words) to be part of The Campfire Headphase or even Trans Canada Highway. I think it was pretty much crafted specifically for Tomorrow's Harvest. but then again, pure uninformed speculation :D

Well it definitely fits in well on TH, I was just thinking that because it has hard-hitting percussion (as opposed to minimal percussion) and with the relatively fast tempo, it could also have worked on TCH, IMO anyways. It's definitely more bouncy and energetic when compared to most other tracks on Tomorrow's Harvest.

Edit: and don't forget, TCH had a couple of sombre songs on it as well, like "Slow this bird Down."

I actually always thought Cold Earth would have fit perfectly on Geogaddi, with the driving beat, number-station-style child counting, and bleak synth melody.

I thought it didn't fit in because of the combination of the"desolate," "sad" melody / drone as well as the overpowering drums and sharp beats. No song on TCH has that combo.
