I notice on discogs there are loads of old releases dating even back to 1989. They look good I suppose they're going to rerelease them in the future. Any ideas? |
||||||||
|

no theyre not |

I own Boards of Canada. |

I own you. |

God I wonder what they sound like? I guess the early stuff around 1987 must be crap. |

I have to say that BOC definitely are the best at creating kick arse melodies and tunes period. At there best they beat Aphex, Mu-Ziq and any others hands down. What do the rest of the board reckon? |

i reckon most artists (like sp, µ-ziq, aphex, etc) have created at least a few killer melodies, that all beat most of the other people's stuff. you could be right, boc might be the best at consistantly writing the best melodies. who knows? it's all opinion, and what kind of style you like most, i s'pose. |

True. I just think at there very best nobody does it better than BOC. Think about it think about there very best tracks, they just seem to have that edge. Still you're probably right. |

that tape thing "a few godo songs" sounds miles beter than the rather average geogaddi imo |

They look almost good to eat don't they? |

I wonder who the hell has a copy. I bet it'd be worth serious money if it ever got onto ebay $2000 at least surely. |

I agree, BoC write the best melodies IMO. Melissa Juice is absolutely gorgeous. Sadly I can't see them re-releasing Acid Memories, Hooper Bay etc. or even BoC Maxima... I still dream of finding a tape copy of Acid Memories for 30p at a car boot sale. I can but dream. That said, the rhythm of the melody (as opposed to percussive elements) is seldom as tight as RDJ/[]pusher's in tracks like girl/boy song or UFO over Leytonstow. |

Ceri JC, I agree rhythm is not there thing. But basically they aren't really about beats they're general about atmosphere and bastard good melodies. Those tape covers do look good don't they. One of those early tapes was done is 1987. Wow that blows my mind. Well they started in 1982 apparently. |

boc's best percussion moment imo is heard in 'everything you do is a balloon' first heard at: 3:28, being the subtle 'tssst' closed hi-hat kind of sound. on headphones, this is the sweetest detail ever. i love this track to death *goes on looking for other neat percussion bits* |

The drums on Gyroscope are amazing as well. |

Best BoC percussion moment: Chinook. |

I have some stuff of thiers made between 1995-1997. Very varied in output. some of it sounding more like Hells Interface releases to me. they rule with melodies and drums in my view. |

Oh look I hit 200. Woo! I know it's not much, but it's the small things that count. |

Their first releases were only given away to family and close friends. Don't think any of them will give'em up for auction on ebay. (unless they want to be pistolwhipped of course..) |

getting there. |

if you work on pure number theory divide everything BOC has done compaired to Aphex +Pusher by two being single member artists. |

Sorry don't get that. |

makes sense to me |

There's always the possibility the pre-Twoism stuff could be released, but they seem to be more interested in their newer, fresher material than to revisit the past right now. I think a BOC Box Set would be wonderful, or at least a compilation of all the tracks they think were the best from all those releases... I'm sure the best is yet to come though! |
