Funny, pretty much all of those are my complete opposite :)


Haha really? That's funny.
All of those except Twoism were really hard to choose, and in hindsight I probably wouldn't have picked THS for Hi Scores. That EP's too good to have one track picked from it. As for Aquarius, I'm very biased since that song, Olson, XYZ and Happy Cycling were my first exposure to BOC through the Peel Session (although I hated the broadcast version of Happy Cycling. Studio version is brilliant though), so I'm more attached to it than the other songs on Music...

I understand that, and I completely agree that Hi Scores is an incredible EP with no weak tracks ( although THS is the weakest imo ;) ).

I couldn't choose one from Peel Session, that single is 20 minutes of pure gold


Looking at this now I would probably choose the title track for Hi Scores, Left Side Drive for TCH, Kid For Today for IABPOITC, Aquarius for Peel Session, White Cyclosa for Tomorrow's Harvest and Telephasic Workshop for MHTRTC (although i'll probably regret that after posting this!). How things change so quickly I don't know :P

Kind of off topic, but I've always wanted to know if BoC ever made the music behind Flute Frum Thing in that Telecom Italia advert into a full length track, or if they just created the essentials for the advert and left it at that. The music in that ad is beautiful, I'd love if there was more to it.

Well, they did say that they gave Chris Cunningham an hour's worth of new music and he used one 20 second fragment of it.

Re: If you were to pick one favourite from each release...

Fri Sep 04, 2015 5:20 pm

Didn't know that! I wonder if they gave the music track titles, or even reused some off it later on.

Re: If you were to pick one favourite from each release...

Mon Oct 05, 2015 9:12 pm

I'm going to pick a vignette along with a longer track for each.

Out of whole discography: Julie and Candy

Otherwise:

(can't decide with OT or R35TT, don't listen enough)
Twoism - Basefree/It's Too Orangey
Hi Scores - Nlogax
MHTRTC - Sixtyten and One Very Important Thought (or Olson, but I think OVIT by just a hair)
Peel Session - Happy Cycling (Bad Day)
Live/Lighthouse - Spiro
Live/ATP - three way tie between Sixtyten, A is to B as B is to C and 'Noatak'
Live/Warp 10 - final track, or "What a Treat" as I'm now calling it
IABPOITC - Zoetrope
Geogaddi - all, lol...that's an absurd request
Campfire - Atarataronochrononononono or Constants are Changing and Chromakey Dreamcoat or Slow This Bird Down
Trans Canada - Under the Coke Sign and Dayvan Cowboy (the remix)
Tomorrow's Harvest - Uritual and New Seeds

I swear, nobody shares my tastes with Twoism through IABPOITC. Nobody. Used to be more common but not so much anymore, not sure why.

I keep changing my mind, it's awful...

Twoism / 1986 Summer Fire

MHTRTC
Telephasic / Olson

IABPOITC
Amo Bishop Roden

Peel Session
Happy Cycling

Geogaddi
Alpha & Omega or Julie & Candy / The Smallest Weird Number

The Campfire Headphase
Peacock Tail / Does Sherbet Head count? Otherwise probably Into The Rainbow Vein.

Trans Canada Highway
Skyliner / Heard From Telegraph Lines (only release where I prefer the vignette to the song)

Tomorrow's Harvest
Nothing Is Real / Gemini. If that doesn't count then Uritual.

Other
Macquarie Ridge and Echus are pretty dope i guess


Can't choose from Hi Scores and I don't listen to Old Tunes or R35TT pretty much ever.
