God damn Poppy Seed, you are the song I have always imagined in my head when I think of countryside and cold flowing rivers somewhere in the hills on a foggy day.

I am having one of those moments where a BoC tune I usually overlook or skip, sneaks up on me and makes me realise how wonderful it is.

"Magic teens" is my new favourite BoC track probably for the next 24 hours until it changes again

:D

Love when this happens, happened to me with Basefree. I use to always skip it(seems a lot of people do), but when I listened all the way through I realized that it turns into such a beautiful song and it's now a favorite of mine.

I think I've actually done it...

#1) Alpha And Omega
#2) Everything You Do Is A Balloon
#3) Oscar See Through Red Eye
#4) Telephasic Workshop *Live at Warp10*
#5) Skyliner

There is a less than a hairbreadth between the Top 2... It really is close.

Honourable mention to 5.9.78 (which could, by a different measure, actually be a possible top song) - also the groovy Aquarius V3, and Sunshine Recorder 8)

Oh, and perhaps OSTRE could never get to the top, after it was responsible for that remarkably odd dream I never actually wrote about...!

that happened to me with the song magic teens as well, it just sounded so nostalgic and amazing out of nowhere... i never seemed to have that connection with the song until the last time i heard it..

the same happened with powerline misfortune, i began feeling overwhelmed with memories when the song played, and i began to enjoy it more than ever. even though in the past i didnt have that strong of an interest in the song.


maybe thats what it is, at first we dont necessarily feel anything for the track, then after a few listens we begin to relate memories to the track that originally may not have done anything for us.

I couldn't possibly pick just one, that's like choosing your favourite child or something.

I'd have to say my favorite track right now is...Dawn Chorus

But it's basically a tie between that and basically every other song BoC has done.
