Dawn Chorus

Hope this doesn't sound too bizarre: DC is one of my fave tracks. The more I hear it, the more I seem to hear a melted-down and warped version of Len's "Steal My Sunshine" Nothing overt here, sample wise or anything. Just a certain feeling I get when I listen to it. And I can't shake it no matter how often I hear it. I believe this is the track where they sampled porn, is it not? That would explain the moan. There is still something there though. Something that reminds me of that annoying Len tune. The rhythm of the vocal line or something jingly underneath...pardon the less-than-profound language. It's hard to put into words. It's probably just me, b…

Do you think that perhaps BOC heard this record back in 1990 and were so impressed they decided to make Nlogax? I personally loved this track and it predates AFX BOC You should listen to it.

Starting to see this on almost all boards of canada tracks on youtube, pretty disappointing. Does anyone know the actual rational behind restricting access like this?

From his live show last night. Uploader said that before the track Christ said "This one's from Marcus". Of course assumed to be Sandison. Whatever it is it's a damn lovely track,

I really want to order the black T shirt, but I'm doubting about the size. Here in Europe (the Netherlands) I wear size M (sometimes L depends on the brand). Should I order M or L on the website? I really don't know since Americans have different wear sizes then here in the Netherlands. Also I'm new to the forum! Hello!

Was listening to some of the old Skam 12"s tonight, decided to pass by WATMM for old times sake and answer any questions regarding the the whole bullshit drama of having my tapes nicked and put on EBAY if anyone cares. I'll be around until my 3$ sub runs out Herr Jan's verified me, am willing to verify further if need be.

i have to admit, this album hasn't improved for me over the last year; if anything, it seems not quite as good as it first did. there are just so many weak tracks, depsite the occasional brilliance

It's been nearly two weeks since anyone post anything BoC related. Odd Nosdam put this up on SoundCloud today, and as far as I'm aware hasn't been made available before. https://soundcloud.com/odd-nosdam/dayvan-cowboy-boards-of-canada-raw-stems-version

Does Anybody Sonically Recognize Any of BoCs Gear?
by Guest Spittal- 18 replies

Like, certain compressors, or synths, or eqs? I swear that I hear the UA-1176LN on "Slow This Bird Down", I dont know why it just has certain overtones. I could be very wrong, I haven't spent that much time listening to the 1176, but I think they used one on that track (and maybe more). Does anybody else recognize anything just by listening?

I found it interesting that Aphex would say one part of his creative output got turned off by BoC. Note how the drum beat and the overall atmosphere are vaguely similar to BoC in Ibiza Spliff. He answered this to a fan regarding this unreleased Soundcloud track. Nice to know he loves a lot of their music. https://soundcloud.com/user18081971/34-ibiza-spliff Posted 5 days ago5 days Superior C says at 1:55: boc vibes Posted 5 days ago5 days user18081971 says at 1:55: @superior: again, hadnt heard of them when i made this, I think when I did it put me off doing these kinda tracks actually, not knocking BOC either, love a lot of their music

One of the chaps who works the night shift must of changed the work radio station and left it on BBC6music. So after an hour or so me and my fellow colleagues are all congregated together. A few songs are playing and there are murmers of discontent, so I tell them not to worry (being sarcastic) and that just because its not on X Factor they can relax. I am getting earshots of mild abuse "what's this fucking weird shit" being the most obvious, and thats being directed at something mainstream like.....I dunno...Smashing Pumpkins or The Clash, something of that ilk anyway. Then the opening chords of roygbiv come blaring out. At first I didn't realise and to be honest …

Listening to that Philip Glass NPR interview last week reminded me of something that BOC said about their own music that left me puzzled. I forgot about that remark until just now. As many people have already noted, "Tomorrow's Harvest" featured the use of arpeggios in a few tracks. I was pleasantly surprised by this, because I quite liked the sound, and thought it worked well with the theme of the album. In the De:Bug interview around the promotional period for TH, BOC said this: But that made me wonder, what other BOC tracks involve arpeggios? I couldn't think of any. Does the "Poppy Seed (Reprise)" remix count? Are they referring to the "Old Tunes" stuff? I d…
