Ah hell forgot that one of course! Such a trippy track.

Oscar See Through Red Eye, hands down. Utterly psychedelic.

Im sorry guys but its actually Track A07 on R35TT, Absolutely maddening, the harshest noise to ever come out of BoC.

Very violent yet puts you in some kind of trance. but at the same time it puts you in the mind of someone who's going trough the final stages of rabies :mrgreen:

reminds me of New Seeds. But this is more raw sound. New Seeds is kind of very pleasant psychedelish sound, probably very polished.

"Everything You Do is a Balloon". Still gives me goosebumps after all these years. Pretty much encapsulates everything I love about BoC in one track.

It has a special place in my heart, since it was how I found about BoC in the first place.

Jacquard Causeway has a lot of awesome stuff going on and has a really cool pattern going on in it. I also think Sixtyten and Telephasic Workshop are crazy, especially the first one. Alpha and Omega also comes to my mind, that shit's scary

After the release of Societas X I think I’d add the track with the reversed Elegants song sampled in it... how the ambience builds up to something that sounds both beautiful and disturbing, the little distortions sprinkled throughout to make it sound like the record is skipping while being played backwards, like it’s just about to totally fall apart at any second... that track is really trippy.

Those are the same songs that get me too! Jacquard Causeway is the song of my soul/life... Sixtyten has such a cool bass drone going on, sounds similar to Gyroscope but in a different context...

This aside from Jacquard Causeway has to be my favorite BoC tune. The guitar drones that warp and twist are so wicked... I hope their next album has a track or too along this vein

You Could Feel the Sky.

Listening to it either forwards or backwards always messes with my emotions and freaks me out a little bit (not in a bad way, mind you).

Great track - mind-bending not so much (for me at least).

100% agree. Seven Forty Seven is a complete mindfuck start to finish. That and Sherbet Head. Oh, and I Love U.

According to BOC themselves its Nlogax: "We sometimes make a tune metamorphose as it plays. An example is "Nlogax" from the "Hi Scores" EP on Skam, which begins like an old electro or disco track but halfway through it suddenly becomes something nightmarish, like your brain is starting to malfunction in the middle of the tune. Psychedelics make music sound entirely different."
