I'm unsure as to whether the copy of Campfire Headphase I downloaded is correct (can't afford proper copy yet but I will get it on pay day). I like the second track's twisty bassline and the echoey first track but the rest sounds a bit too much like what Autechre were doing circa 1997... odd!

1997? (Quickly consults discogs...) Chiastic Slide? Crazy talk! What are your track lengths? One should be 0.44, two should be 5.47. I can't comment on twisty basslines as my ipod is suddenly refusing to actually play any of the tracks.

"Telephasic Workshop". it's the only track of theire i particularly rate but i do LOVE it.

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 24 October 2005 10:27 (twenty years ago)

Yup, it is fantastic, and under-appreciated.

― ledge (ledge), Monday, 24 October 2005 10:35 (twenty years ago)

actually "Happy Cycling" is great too and the one where the counting goes wrong. maybe i like them more than i think i do.

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 24 October 2005 10:36 (twenty years ago)

I really don't know much BoC beyond "music has the right..." but that elusive "XYZ" track from the peel session is one of the GREATEST things I have ever heard.

" '84 Pontiac Dream " off their new one is an obsession for me right now. Listen to that while driving. Gorgeous.

Consider this another Matt in DC saying "1969" — although I like that little solo keyboard thing on Music Has the Right..., whatever it's called...

Seconded with Dawn Chorus.

as for the short/interlude bits, its so very short, but nice and tense-- "rodox video"
i might also add that i was a huge huge fan of the remix for Beck. really beautiful

Trails by boc is one of the most relaxing things I have ever heard. I have a sound clip of it...

"Open The Light"

― skoolbus39 (skoolbus39), Thursday, 13 April 2006 22:02 (twenty years ago)

"kid for today" - the whole of the "beautiful place..>" ep is brilliant tho, I think their best work by a mile, says everything they say elsewhere is a more concise, emotionally affecting manner.

Dandelion.

and if it didn't exist, Telephasic Workshop.

"Magic Window"! No, I kid, this is just an excuse to post a link to the "Dayvan Cowboy" video:

I can't decide between "Everything You Do Is a Balloon" and "XYZ."

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Friday, 14 April 2006 11:19 (twenty years ago)

Oh yes, also note that the "Trans Canada Highway" EP comes out 06/06/06. Hah.

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Friday, 14 April 2006 11:20 (twenty years ago)

gekoppel OTM. 'Beautiful Place' ep is all anyone really needs. everything else they've done is weak in comparison.

and, OPO=Kid for Today.

Dawn Chorus, although the sexy noises can freak out anyone else who happens to be listening.

i agree. i'm a sucker for things that sound like they are sung by depressed or dying robots though.

― Pat Finn, Friday, 4 May 2012 15:46 (fourteen years ago)

that's my OPO too.

― Scary Move 4 (dog latin), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:01 (fourteen years ago)

every about 3-5 months i'll actually do a facebok status update, usually in form of music video i like enough that i think other people will like it and we can all proceed to like it

thing is, every time i post a video it's boards of canada. i think i posted a velocity girl video once, but only in a conversation with somebody else. anyways, i'm at about my 6th boc video on my profile now. i must look psychotic.

your facebook friends probably just think you are trying to brainwash them.

Yeah I would have to go with "In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country". "Aquarius" has strong nostalgia pull (and how meta it is to feel nostalgia for a BoC track) but IABPOITC has the slight edge of disquiet I loved so much about the Geogaddi era. Still my favourite of their albums.

― attention vampire (MatthewK), Monday, 21 November 2016 06:45 (nine years ago)

Left Side Drive

― Elvis Telecom, Monday, 21 November 2016 06:52 (nine years ago)

IABPOITC is maybe my favourite release by them. Just this little pocket where they explored a more minimal, wintry style that really works

― Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc (dog latin), Monday, 21 November 2016 08:55 (nine years ago)

yeah i bought this when it came out just because it was $5 new. hadn't really connected with MHTRTC but after the first ten seconds of "kid for today" and i was like "ohhhh i get these guys now.. awesome *gets all blissed out*".

― a but (brimstead), Monday, 21 November 2016 18:03 (nine years ago)

nevermind i change my pick to In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country

― flappy bird, Monday, 21 November 2016 18:03 (nine years ago)

Olson is sort of packaged with Pete Standing Alone.. it's a great part of MHTRTC. An Eagle in Your Mind is high on my list, too.. it just has that subtle, loaded quality.

― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Monday, 21 November 2016 20:25 (nine years ago)

If you've never heard Mira Calix and Oliver Coates' version of IABPOITC - enjoy.

― attention vampire (MatthewK), Monday, 21 November 2016 20:27 (nine years ago)

Whitewater is another oddly underrated track.

― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Monday, 21 November 2016 20:36 (nine years ago)

just ran across that version the other day while looking for videos of console mira disc music boxes

― xiphoid beetlebum (rushomancy), Monday, 21 November 2016 20:48 (nine years ago)

Oh goddamnit, how could I forgot their utterly brilliant remix of cLOUDDEAD's Dead Dogs Two?

It's just a remix, but it's so much more than that - it vastly improves upon the original song, has wholly unique bits and that classic A Day In the Life ending.

Also their remixes of Poppyseed are also POO worthy. Ugh... these guys are too good.

― octobeard, Tuesday, 22 November 2016 04:24 (nine years ago)

Remix of Beck's "Broken Drum" is fantastic too.

― attention vampire (MatthewK), Tuesday, 22 November 2016 04:35 (nine years ago)

and honestly the reprise is my fav of the two

I know there's two but didn't think i needed to specify, because nobody would prefer the second one except a total WEIRDO

― death generator (lukas), Tuesday, 21 June 2022 16:17 (three years ago)

lmaooooo aren't we all here? I mean have you read how passionate the Autechre threads are on this board?

FWIW the reprise was my morning alarm music for a good two years.

― octobeard, Thursday, 23 June 2022 02:25 (three years ago)

I just jest
