BoC before BoC

Music that for one reason or another reminds me of BoC.
-"Dear Grandma and Grandpa" by Tortoise. The section starting at 0:46 is 100% BoC-like.
-Opening credits for the french tv show Thalassa (1979): The moog phrasing comes from the same parallel dimension as the music from documentary films of the National Film Board of Canada.
-Brian Eno - Lizard Point.
Do you have any more in mind?

Their later stuff is more overtly actually influenced by Boards of Canada (as well as IDM, in general, and stuff like cLOUDDEAD), but this track by Hood is a particularly reminiscent of a BoC sort of mood / tone.
From 1996's Silent '88, of course pre-dating MHtRtC.

Jon Hassel & Brian Eno - Ba-Benzelé
Not too literal, but it does have a wobbly flute (?) line which could show up in a BoC vignette.

they're really great. Judging by other stuff you've mentioned liking I think you'll dig them a lot.
I really like that Thalassa theme song. I would like to have a nice collection of tv and video music like that. I started taping stuff like that from my old videotapes but I lost the cassette. It's pleasantly cozy to stroll back into the sounds that remind me of childhood. To be honest a lot of that moogey synthy stuff creeped me out when I was little, which somehow translated into me liking it even more as an adult.
