I personaly thought it was one of the weakest tracks on the album.

The track that hooked me was Oirectine. However, Pete Standing Alone is amazing.

I think this was the first BoC track I ever heard. This one and Everything You Do Is a Balloon, I knew I had to hear more BoC after that.

Regardless of whatever has been previously stated in this thread, Pete Standing Alone is just plain magnificent. This is, of course, including the change up at around 3:28, as previously stated.

So much detail in that track.

So much fucking detail.

Twoism was the song that got me hooked.

I would have to say Beware The Friendly Stranger was the track that made me aware of Boards of Canada. I first heard when I watched Salad Fingers. Thank you David Firth. Actually my first involvement with BoC was "Over The Horizon Radar" (Such a nice tune) After that I heard a couple of songs on this documentary where Billy Connolly go's to Africa.

I'm suprises nobody's mentioned this yet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sa ... _of_Canada

Whether or not half of this is true or not is a different matter. It's still an interesting read.

I believe that is part of Fredd-E's wiki on BOC. I think a lot of us both knew about it and had input on a lot of it. If I recall there was a "samples used by BOC" thread somewhere.

Oh sorry. I thought it was to good to miss. Nice one Fredd-E. Thanks for more brilliant information on the Boards of Canada.

Hi all. first post.

Maybe you already know about this website... it's an archive of 70s Canadian nature board films that seem to be, as far as I can tell, copyright free. I do know I've sampled them shitless in my shameless BoC ripoff tracks

There are audio clips, but as far as I can tell the audio only extends to samples of the noise each animal featured in the films makes.
