Yeah. Sherbet Head is amazing

I used to sort of overlook Oirectine until a couple of months ago - I recalled the tune one day, really out of nowhere and thought "Ah yes, that old BOC track" -- I hadn't listened to it for a while... So I gave it a proper listen on the same evening and concluded it's actually a very good tune at heart.

It has to be 5/9/78

Turquoise Hexagon Sun - a classic I know, but rarely referenced. Such a stunning bittersweet melody and mood. I miss that sparseness I must admit

Rue The Whirl
Audiotrack 14B (which I uploaded to YT last night -

Why is this track's existence completely forgotten? It's a total detour from their usual style and sits in the middle of Twoism, so it's not exactly hidden. This is the song I'd expect creepiness and other labels being first attached to, not 'Beware the Friendly Stranger'?

Hmm, it must be my third or fourth time writing this, and no one ever takes note. I guess some things are just not meant to be.

A is to B as B is to C. I think it comes the closest (and still a ways off) to approximating what salvia trip or something similar is like.

Is Red Moss underrated? It seems to be pretty popular. But it is a great track. Probably the most memorable from my first listen of Boc Maxima.

I've always though about 'The Smallest Weird Number', or 'Sherbet Head'.

I was about to come in the thread specifically to say this.

Others that I don't see talked about very often that I like:
B14 on R35TT
Heard From Telegraph Lines
Unknown track 2 at the 2001 ATP show

I think seeya later from hi scores is one of the best BoC tracks in the entire repertoire

Echus. I know that it's technically unreleased but hot damn is that song amazing.

I really like that scratchy sound that comes later in the track

I love Rue the Whirl too.

I really don't know what is or isn't popular or rates well among others but probably not quite their best stand out tracks I'd have to say

In The Annexe (Just love that key change)
Spectrum
Skimming Stones
Under The Coke Sign
Macquarie Ridge

There are some others too..
To The Wind is fairly different reminds me of some underground 80's stuff I listened to sometimes growing up. B14, Sherbert Head already mentioned are quite good too. In fact a lot of times I'd find myself taking the releases off my ipod and just going through random 35 tracks and all the other early tapes too many little gems in there to mention.

Oh man, forgot about To The Wind. Also one of my favorites.

I adore Macquarie Ridge, one of my all time favorite tracks by them.

It sounds to me like if boc ever made a "hip-hop" track, this is the one. It's like...DJ premier-esque. It just needs some ill rhymes.

The flute sample playing in my mind, "that" is boards of canada for me. It's one of my favorite tracks. The short, abstract pieces are some of what make boc awesome. If I were to think about boards of canada randomly throughout the day, no joke, I usually hear that darn flute sample playing in my head.
