Where there any BoC songs that you felt were amazing, but not very popular?
For me it has to be Audiotrack 04B from the Random 35 Tracks tape. The guitars in that song are absolutely beautiful.

I know a lot of listeners don't find Rue The Whirl very interesting, but it's one of my favorite BoC tracks. One of those tracks that sends you back in time.

A few days ago, Zoetrope finally hit me with full force. I figure it's not too popular because it suggests a very different mindset, a very different sensibility than most of their music. I suddenly stopped listening to it in a "what's so good about it" feeling, but just let it take me away and do its magic. It worked.
EDIT: "Zoetrople", what the fuck

I thought basefree was a favourite with most fans. I love it also.
one of my all time favourite tracks that i dont see mentioned much is 'in the annexe', it just totally lives up to its name, it sounds so alone and apart.
a lot of my favourites are the shorter 'interlude' tracks. diving station is another one i love. again it sounds just like its name, it always makes me imagine a trip in to the depths in one of those old diving bells. the piano fades away until your left with that wonderful whooshing sound as you slowly descend deeper, and further away from civilisation and safety.

Holy shit,
that chord change. You know the one, when it descends one semitone. Gets me every time. I love that.

Smokes Quantity is very under rated. It is the saddest track of them all.

spectrum - the chord change right where the drums come in gets stuck in my head often - same with the gated synths that come in at 1:18

Spectrum is one of the old ones that kind of sounds like the new ones to my ears

No word of a lie, the very second I read your post, Tears from the Compound Eye started playing through my headphones.
I agree, lovely tune.

All of Hi Scores except for EYDIAB, Sixtyniner, Chinook, and Julie in Candy is immensely underrated in that it isn't at least somewhere on everyone's top ten BoC tracks.

Yeah. Zoetrope was one of the first BoC tracks I listened to. It's just amazing.
