I've heard this a few times, and I have disagree tbh. It has a nice synth texture, I like its swirly repetitiveness and it leads into the beach at redpoint perfectly- I also think the sample is relevant to the overall geogaddi theme. It's not that best track on there but I think the whole would be poorer without it.

I agree with Infinite E. Although not their best track by any means. It's still great, provides an interesting atmosphere.

I disagree, man! while it definitely didn't really fit on Geogaddi, it would've worked better on Music Has the Right, but then again.. there was a track similar to it on Music.. already.

energy warning didnt "fit" on geogaddi? a "wart on a great album"?? faith is dwindling..

I've always liked Ataronchronon

that track always hits me right in the chest. very visually inducing.

'Trillions' is a perfect track tittle and 'roygbiv', 'music is math' or 'constants are changing' are also my favourites. The other day surfacing on youtube I found that song.. very 'loveless' style:



Is that a fake?

good vibes to all.

It's Old Tunes Vol. 1 Side B Track 14. SO unlikely that it's Trillions. Although I suppose the possibility is there that they just released it on both OTV1 and Closes Vol. 1. The track length is only a few seconds off. I'd say someone just realized the closeness of the track length and tossed it out there as trillions. Great song though.

energy warning is amazing... plus because i have seen the original infomercial when it came out on TV. dont diss what is here, only complain about what is not...

I've always had that one figured as a cut down Acid Memories track judging by the similar production to the Duffy sample and the fact that it matches the "Guitars meet electronics/embryonic sound" description that has been used to describe AM in the past without getting into Play By Numbers' shoegazing territory.

Seeya Later definitely sticks out to me. Beautiful song but it makes me sad.

BoC don't have the most incredible song names to be honest, but they are very good at creating a lot of mystery with their titles. The House of Abin'Adab is probably my favorite. The Colour of the Fire, The Smallest Weird Number, I Saw Drones, Into the Rainbow Vein, Nova Scotia Robots, and Jacquard Causeway are the other more notable examples. The titles alone give the song a much deeper atmosphere than they would have already had.

An Eagle In Your Mind is also an obvious one.

Fuck you.

Fuck yes. The title isn't anything great, but it is an immensely beautiful song. One of my all-time favorites for sure.

Gyroscope is about eating a gyros on pita and when you eat gyros on pita your mouth is in desparate need of Scope mouthwash, hence the title Gyroscope.

^ firstly, being a Greek person, Im loving this talk of eating gyros and pita bread

Secondly, I love the title "over the horizon radar". When I listen to it, I just imagine being in the middle of the ocean on a boat watching the sun set around the horizon around us.

I agree; GYROS lovers have to COPE with all sorts of difficult things
