It's nostalgia, baby.

What are some of BOC's strongest nostalgic tracks for you?
For me, their old tunes tapes hold more nostalgic meaning to me than their more recent stuff. Tracks like Skimming Stones, Kiteracer 2, and June 9th are perhaps the strongest for me and they bring me back to when I was the youngest. I find that Mushyz conjures up strange imagery of me being a kid again as well.
What are your thoughts?

Right on! All the old tunes material really takes me on journeys to the past. Side one track 14 on Old tunes reminds me of something from never ending story or a movie when i was kid. Songs like m9 remind me of watching space documentaries at the omni theater when i was a child. Mushyz reminds of childhood TV programs as well as heysanna hosanna. On their official releases songs like oirectine, roygbiv, ready lets go, dandelion and kaini industries bring back memories of my childhood.
whats really funny is even though whole songs may not have the exact same effect, maybe a part of one their songs will spark up an old memory...and this happens with almost all of their songs...

I agree that old tunes brings some great memories into play. My tracks are Buckie High and Audiotrack 1 from Old Tunes Vol 1 Side B. Also many others but those the most.

spectrum without doubt has the greatest sense of nostalgia for me. it's such a beutifully damaged whirlpool of longing and regret, but has a certain hopefulness at the same time. reminds of science class when i was 12.

BoC are masters of balancing emotion in songs.
Thats the main reason im drawn to them.

I feel nostalgia when certain tracks remind me of moments that occured when I was listening to them specifically.
Seqotia: First BoC Track I heard properly..reminds me of my online hunting for BoC and subsequent purchase of Campfire HEadphase, my 1st BOC album
Beautiful Place: Reminds me of my months in London, it was a heatwave, dull clouds weighing low, loneliness.. I heard the track over great speakers (roomate was a DJ)
Sixtyniner: Beautiful track but makes me nostalgically sad. Remembering past relationships.
ConstantsAreChanging(MovingTreesMix): Specific time in my life that I realise now, I was mistaken about many things.
Peacock tail: Summer, driving in the car, hands in my hair (not mine)
