I was just raiding the old tunes and it struck me how perfect the title of this song is! It sounds like what a "geometric piss" must sound like! Am I insane?

I've noticed this with a few tracks. I assumed they did it on purpose but after reading interviews I found out a lot of their track titles are just completely random crap from their life hah.

Chromakey Dreamcoat was the first that stuck out to me.. Not for the same reason but that quick staccato beat was perfect for the consonant sounds in the title.

Hey Saturday Sun -- perfect. A Moment of Clarity -- perfect. One Very Important Thought -- obviously perfect hah.. Dawn Chorus, a Beautiful Place.. that's all that I can think of right now. Most track titles don't make any sense at all to me.

I think the thread should be called "BoC songs with perfect titles" from now on.

Tears from the Compound Eye
Turquoise Hexagon Sun

these two just fit it in meaning and sound

i think it would be a shorter thread if we listed BoC songs that don't match the name. As far as I'm concerned they are all spot on. Like Music For Pylons for example. Dead on!

I wish I had names for all of the Old Tunes Vol 1. songs.

sigh. dont we all.

The first time I listened to Geometric Piss, but before I ever knew its name (i STILL haven't properly labeled my OT or AFOT volume whatever, I still can't figure any of that stuff out, haha) i had just finished watching this:

and it seemed to fit the theme of happy memories doomed to loss to a T. Maybe that's just me, though. I have a history of getting more emotional than one ought to over cartoon animals.

That video is, strangely, very depressing...

Just revising Precession for an exam tomorrow and realised that Gyroscope is THE perfect match for song and title. Awesome.

I think all the names fit the songs in some way, although more often than not in an obvious abstract manner. They all have a certain feel, almost like a personality of sorts, and the names just add to it

all titles are perfect. even the colour of fire

Maybe not relevant to this thread, but:

Energy Warning is a piece of crap. A wart on a great album. Sandison bros., what were you thinking?
