A coworker overheard skyliner being played off the Trans Canada Highway EP at work, and he liked it and I got into the whole "what kind of music is that?" deal that everyone who likes electronic music has to go through to explain to someone who's never heard electronic music before. So, rather than bore him with a bunch of names he'll probably forget, I thought it would be better to make a compilation CD of BoC's best tracks that would be good to introduce someone to BoC's music. So, please take a crack at making a playlist, from BoC's entire back catalogue (OT included) that I can compile onto an Audio CD and let him listen to.

Geogaddi 1 2
by Franciscus- 42 replies
- 3.5k views
I just read it in an encylopedia; Geogaddi is exactly 66 minutes and 6 seconds long. All the wavfiles together makes up 666 mb. And there's a song on it that's called "The Devil Is In The Details", but you probably already knew that How satanic.. :devil:

BOC video directed by Melissa *Olson* 1 2 3

Anyone else spotted that the video is directed by someone called Melissa Olson. Didnt BOC say they named the track Olson after a family of people they knew? She is obviously a member Hexagon Sun. Perhaps she is also the Melissa of Melissa Juice fame?

This early BoC album has been leaked to the internet. In spite of the alleged fact that there are only 50 copies in existence, it has managed to beat the older Music70 albums (Acid Memories, Hooper Bay) to filesharing programs even though the aformentioned older albums allegedly had higher print runs. That's kinda odd isn't it. Does anyone remember when BoC Maxima mp3s started to appear on the internet, or more specifically, does anyone have any information on who might have been responsible for them getting there in the first place? Apologies in advance if this topic has already been beat to death, but I haven't been able to find this info anywhere.

Im new here, though Ive been an obsessive BoC since MHTRTC came out, so hello. I downloaded Kid For Today (Merck construct) off napster ages ago, probably about a year before ABPOITC was even released. I remember worrying about it at the time cos I though it was fake, but when I realised it was real and it was going to be released I nearly shat my pants with excitement... Anyway, anyone know anything about the Merck version? Theres not as much to it really, its more repetetive than the released version, with the main melody playing constantly instead of being introduced later in the track...

So it seems like the "hip hop" element in BoC's music has diminished over time, being almost non-existent on TCH and Skyliner. Is this a good or bad thing?

I know that Geogaddi has been dissected billions of times, but there's still one thing bothering me. At about 3:27 into Sunshine Recorder, we hear the robotic woman voice saying 'a beautiful place...' but afterwards, there's this weird buzz noise that could easily be a man's voice or maybe just some studio background noise. Anybody else hear this, and if so, know what the fuck it is?

Hey ho. Just watched Watchdog this evening and I just heard the main loop of BOC Aquarius on there (which isn't surprising as they tend to rape the Warp record collection in BBC programs). But yeah it then started to go all funky with trumpets and saxaphones and things. So I was wondering, has this track taken its main loop off some awesome little disco track, or has someone been kinda cheeky and stolen off de boc? Unfortunatly I don't have a recording, maybe its repeated soon and someone can tape it ? It's the first section about laser hair surgery treatment. Pete...

Boards of Canada hooper bay 1 2
by Guest freak8492- 30 replies
- 5.7k views
ive recently gotten 5 tracks from soulseek that is supposedly the early boards of canada album, 'hooper bay', originally a cassette. however upon listening, i was still not convinced it was the real thing. so i went to http://www.discogs.com/artists/boards+of+canada and found that the track lengths of the songs that i downloaded are almost exactly the same as the ones listed on the orginal cassette. but these songs do not sound like 1994 boards of canada. then again, i doubt i would really even know.. still yet, the songs arent even the same as the snippets that are all over slsk which are apparently from the old boc website. if anyone wants this let me know, …

Boards of Canada MORE NEW TCH EP INFO 1 2 3

"BOARDS OF CANADA: Will be releasing a 6-track EP, Trans Canada Highway, featuring the single Dayvan Cowboy. Offering 5 new darkly psychedelic tracks, it has already caused furore amongst fans on the net!" "Dayvan Cowboy comes with a breath taking video that plays out the concept behind the EP, a journey of desolation and exploration. The video presents real footage of the highest descent ever recorded from the edge of space by Joseph Kittinger in 1960, skydiving from a height of 102,800 feet in a space suit. With complications on the way down, he was convinced he had not survived the jump and hallucinated falling through hell. This m…

If you can contribute music, web-skills, artwork, or video, I'll provide the webspace. Please share any ideas you have for this event.

i remember on the old site (around 99) there were soundclips from old records, see copypaste from fan site: In addition, three extracts of genuine old tracks came from a BoC-related website that no longer exists. They are: "duffy" (extract) (0:24), "wouldn't you like to be free?" (extract) (0:56), "circle" (extract) (0:35), "duffy" is a gentle and innocent track a little bit similar to "melissa juice"; "wouldn't you like to be free?" features massed guitars; "circle" has slowly changing high-pitched glacial tones, fitting the Alaskan theme of the album it comes from. There is also the full track labelled "godever" (1:46), (apparently a BoC track, but not really th…
