The most mind-bending Boards of Canad track

[SamuraiDrifter]

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."

That doesn't mean it's their "most" mind-bending track according to them. It's just an example of the influence of psychedelics on their music.

TCH: Oscar seethrough (one of the most complex tracks they have ever done by the sheere amount and variety of different sound samples)

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

Yes. Oscar See Through Red Eye gets my vote. It’s nuts how every few bars in that song is like its own little world of sound design yet it all comes together as one cohesive piece. The panning and stereo effects are phenomenal too. At 1:03 I reckon they’re even sampling fish sounds.

That drum change on Spiro at around 5:40 always boggles me, how the fuck did they do that.

Music is math goes pretty weird 2/3rds of the way through, but i'll give another vote for 747

Sixtyten for me. I've listened to this track so many times, it was my number one on Spotify for two years. That bass is out of this world. Overall it feels as if you were in a laboratory, conducting an experiment. I like how the main drum part, which is interconnected with the bass, has two different snare sounds, that are similar, but different in a subtle way. Also, the drums are speeding up, and slowing down - I always had a feeling they were, but you can hear it on vinyl much more clearly than in digital. And last, but not least - the part at 2:51. It blows me away every single time.

Palace Posy is up there

2:32 into the song slaps and still gives me dopamine hits. Without fail.

The initial build up of the song is spectacular too. Curious civilization building beats

I get so mesmerized listening to Telephasic Workshop as the track unfolds and the voices begin to join the mix.
