in a beautiful place out in the country

[Aesthetics]

i'm intregued... is it different to the MHTRTC version?

Yes it's slightly different, Aquarius (Version 3).

[deadfly]

Olson and Aquarius are different but Happy Cycling is the same.

[Guest]

have you heard the peel session version of their "Happy Cycling"? that's one of the best songs ever.

I don't agree, aquarious [version3] is the best John Peel session

[dj_todos]

Indeed, Aquarius V 3 is mega. Love the added vocals both the subtle choir sounding one and the male ones that come in at the key change. Makes me laugh coz it kinda sounds like the male vocals are saying ice cream (I know theyre not but its similar). So in theory we have
'Orange......Iiiiiiiicccccceeeeee Cream'

Daft I know.

Taxi for todos

Best song on Peel Sessions? XYZ hands down. Also Bad Day, that version of Happy Cycling is vastly inferior to any version of Happy Cycling ever.

Well, except for maybe Old Tunes. Maybe.

I'll go out on a limb and say that "In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country" is probably the most complete BOC release - four longish tracks, all good, and which result in a cohesive whole that equals more than the sum of its parts. I like listening to it on a drive when it is dark - as I did earlier this evening, on my way home from work.

Every track on this release is a cracker: a bona fide classic.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'm listeningggg....

absolute favorite part of that version of aquarius.

i don't know why, i just love it.

While we're on the topic of the Peel Session: I love Olson (Version 3). Such a huge improvement over the original, in my opinion.

The only question I have: where's Olson (Version 2)?

[2020k]

Don't give Peel Session as many spins as I should because it's such a short EP, but all three songs (& XYZ) are phenomenal. The male choir during the counting gives me chills a lot of the time.

this pic on the BoC myspace is of David Koresh and his family I realized one day while surfing through some CNN articles.

here's the painting that's on the myspace:


And here's the article with the actual video that the painting was based on:

they seem to have quite the interest in the Waco incident.


Also, anyone here ever try to play the vinyl copy of In A Beautiful Place at 33 rpms instead of 45?

these sky blue vinyls, i've had 2 in my lifetime, on my 2nd, both same blue. i've seen darker blue vinyls online, anyone know if this is true? perhaps its just the images i've seen that they just look darker

happy 18th birthday to the "iabpoitc" ep!

in my celebration of this excellent release and my gateway into the world of boc i was jamming the sterolab remix of kid for today and realized that the warp10+3 album was released in october 99 and yet the ep in which the original song first appears wouldn't be released for another year and a month.

did the remix actually come out before the official song?

from Wikipedia
"Warp 10+3: Remixes (WARP LP/CD 69) contains twenty-six remixes (of which twenty-five are exclusive to this collection) of tracks taken from Warp Records' back catalog. Although all of the original recordings were released by Warp, the remixers are not necessarily Warp Records artists. The original songs span from the years 1990 through 1998."

was kid for today kicking around during the MHTRTC era?

Good spot! It's entirely possible.

was kid for today kicking around during the MHTRTC era?

Yes - somewhere there is a picture of a Boc Maxima tape with bonus tracks, one of which is an early version of Kid for Today, before it was given that name.

Kid for today is actually from 1997. According to the old EHX website.

Now that you mention it I did vaguely recall that there was a "demo" version of KFT. Boy what I wouldn't give to hear that.

So if the song is in fact from 97 then the wiki entry for the warp10+3 isn't wrong. And I guess the Stereolab remix was out first. So weird to hear a remix before you've ever heard the original.
