Joyrex Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 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.

onecaseman Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Funny. I'm doing this for a friend this weekend. I'll post what I come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alzado Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 i think i would make a different list for introducing someone to boc than i would for my favorite boc tracks, but there would be lots of overlap. an introductory compilation should definately include these tracks (in no particular order): chromakey dreamcoat last walk around mirror lake remix aquarius kid for today roygbiv dawn chorus IABPOITC Happy Cycling everything you do is a balloon peacock tail satellite anthem icarus poppy seed remix poppy seed remix (reprise) 5-9-78 Happy Cycling Music Is Math 1969 sunshine recorder beach at redpoint alpha and omega pete standing alone orange romeda sixtyten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 Ahh, Orange Romeda - the BoC song that started it all for me That's a damn good list LOL... and I don't mean it's funny :laughing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kiteless Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 IMO the essential introduction tracks are roygbiv, everything you do is a balloon, orange romeda, julie & candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Skinko Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I reckon that a copy of music has the right is enough to get him started. Did it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alzado Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 June 9th is one of the few boc tracks that i always skip past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaen Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 June 9th is one of the few boc tracks that i always skip past wtf, why? seriously i just cant imagine why anyone would skip that track, it has the best multi-layered melodies ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest papalon Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 hey joyrex, i've never heard of this boards of canada? either. can you also make me a cd of old tunes, maxima, impossible to find tracks, etc... even though i don't know what i'm talking about? please?

Guest Covert Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I'd take a different approach here; it's an introduction, so it doesn't need to cover everything... twelve tracks is probably about right. Corsair Satellite Anthem Icarus Telephasic Workshop 1969 In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country Aquarius Dayvan Cowboy An Eagle In Your Mind Music Is Math Kid For Today Chromakey Dreamcoat ROYGBIV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chromakey_dreamcoat Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 June 9th is one of the few boc tracks that i always skip past wtf, why? seriously i just cant imagine why anyone would skip that track, it has the best multi-layered melodies ever. I agree with that! This track is in my top10! About the compilation, I would say to vary albums. I don't think Old Tunes trqcks are representative. I'd maybe suggest this: -Aquarius -Kid For Today -Everything You Do Is A Balloon -Music Is Math -Chromakey Dreamcoat -Telephasic Workshop -Slow This Bird Down -June 9th -Sunshine Recorder -As Is To B As B Is To C -Sixtyten I don't know if it fits into 74min.

Guest endangered betche Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 1) Wildlife Analysis 2) An Eagle In Your Mind 3) Satellite Anthem Icarus 4) Aquarius 5) 5-9-78 6) Roygbiv 7) Pete Standing Alone 8) Whitewater 9) Sunshine Recorder 10) Dayvan Cowboy 11) Dawn Chorus 12) In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country 13) Everything You Do Is A Balloon 14) Happy Cycling That's as close as I can come to 74 minutes. Basically, just make sure 5-9-78 and Happy Cycling are on there, and you'll be ok. All previous playlists are null and void. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisforawesome Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 a list without everything you do is a balloon is pretty silly. i don't know of any boc fan that doesn't regard that as one of their best works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
