Nice melancholy melody, one that always gets to me a little. A little shorter than I would like it, it kinda cuts out when it starts to pick up. It bothers me a little that you miss out on half the track if you only have one earphone in.

I love this track. 8/10
When I first got into the random 35 tracks I think this was one of my clear favourites.
It's so relaxing and there are so many quieter melodies to listen out for in the background

8/10. Believe it or not but this track was my least favourite off TH when I first listened to it, but then it clicked with me. Really solid track, last couple minutes have a very hopeful feeling that is definitely missing in most of the album.
XYZ still doesn't have a properly mastered and quality release, so I don't think that this will be my definitive conclusion about it, but from what we do have XYZ sounds fucking amazing.
Whitewater

i love whitewater. one of my favourites from their back catalogue
let's change it up a bit. next person, give me the rating of your least favourite boc track, rated against all the music you've ever heard as opposed to just against other boc tracks
The intro to this track always gave me chills, it's beautiful. But unfortunately the track doesn't build up to anything huge, it just kind of hovers around the same melody until it fades out. However it's still in my opinion one of the better tracks from TH, along with Sick Times and Sundown.
I know it's less than a minute long, but I'm one of those fans that more often than not appreciates the interludes over the full length tracks. I always get a smile on my face listening to this, it just sounds so incredibly nostalgic to me. One of the many reasons I love OTV2.
I absolutely love this track to bits. First time I heard it was last christmas eve last year whilst I was walking back to my house from my grandparents. It was dark out, all the streetlights were glowing, so I popped on OTV2 where I had left off, at nine-rubber wisdom. straight away I fell in love with everything about the track, and consequently loved the next 20 minutes of walking in the dark listening to OTV2 for the first time. what a great song.
Heysanna Hosanna (this track really got to me on that same walk)

I'd give it a 10 in keeping with the feel of the whole compilation, but on a single track standpoint it isn't as strong as others. As nostalgic as they come to me, genuinely sounds like you're listening to a part of someone's childhood.
9/10 My second favorite track from TCH, after Left Side Drive. It almost sounds like it belongs on Tomorrow's Harvest, in a weird way. It's almost like a style transitiatory (is that even a word?) song.

Pretty damn great, very creepy track. Great percussion. Perfect soundtrack if you're the only one left in an abandoned space station with no way to make it back to earth.

If The Campfire Headphase was a butterfly, would Acid Memories be the caterpillar?
This is a fun track to just bounce around to while doing chores around the house or schoolwork or some other busy work. Really lightens the mood, and a great follow to the gorgeous Kiteracer.

Turquoise Hexagon Sun was one of the first songs I heard by BoC. I love the drum loop they used, and how well it contrasts with the soft sine wave chords.

Trying too hard. BoC almost never does it; this was one of the rare times they did. The song would be way way way better without the whole Davidians thing (or even if the lyrics were buried much deeper in the mix). As it is it's just full of cheese.

Very nice, subdued track. Excellent for walking at night. Not exactly going to set the world on fire in terms of the BoC catalog, but still well worth a listen every now and again.
