Open The Light

7/10

I think this tune is very good, as it's a Music Has the Right classic, but for some reason it doesn't offer the same experience as say, Aquarius or Sixtyten. I'll probably end up liking it a lot more as time progresses.

7/10. Don't understand all the hate I see this song getting, it's almost as if people forget there's a melody present, and not just a bunch of porno moans. Pretty funky little tune, and it flows surprisingly well into Trapped.

I Will Get It Tattooed

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. Prefer of course the full version with that lovely soft opening melody. Not sure what to rate it though.

Dayvan Cowboy Odd Nosdam remix. Does that count?

7.5/10

I enjoy the fact you can emerse yourself entirely into this song as its depth is akin to the grand canyon. Also it's 9 minutes long, making that feeling last for a nice long time. But in comparison to other Trans-CH songs, if I had to choose one to listen to it wouldn't be this one.

Happy Cycling (AFOT VERSION)

[maxd98]

7/10

can't really get into it, doesn't really build up like in the album version.


Uritual

[adecentman]

Gotta love how even the tracks y'all can't get into are ~7/10, BoC are just so good they throw off the scales

Uritual

4.5/10, some nice tones (gotta love the occasional saturated crunchiness in the lower register synth) and a nice callback to the looping klangfarbenmelodie of Jacquard Causeway, but overall a rather forgettable BoC interlude imo. Certainly serves a nice function within the sequence of TH, but as is the case with Sundown I find it to be one of the very few BoC tracks where I think another human being on Earth could have been capable of creating it.

Dead Dogs Two (Boards of Canada Remix)

[nightcat]

Dead Dogs Two (Boards of Canada Remix)

5/10 not really my thing. Not a fan of the vocals and doesn't capture emotion and atmosphere like other BoC songs.

Beware the friendly Stranger

[emuyia]

Beware the friendly Stranger

8/10 - Very narrative ominous song, works excellently to introduce Gyroscope

The Color of the Fire

[seanandcandy]

The Color of the Fire

is there another song more representative of what boc are about? 10/10

macquarie ridge

[maxd98]

Macquarie Ridge

oh boy.

10/10

First few times I heard it I didn't understand the appeal. Then it clicked with me when I heard the choir.

Korona

[rolypablo]

8.5/10

I like these older types of BoC tunes. Much higher tempo to most of their songs. Similar beats to June 9th and Chinook with elements coming in from songs like The Colour of Fire and PoppySeed (Reprise). So many sounds and melodies echo throughout but that low drone that drives along the full track is what really makes it. Unmistakeably BoC. Top stuff.

7/10

I never was a huge fan of the early stuff, minus some songs.

9/10

Something about this track just makes it awesome, but I can't quite place my finger on it. It's definitely one of those tracks from Twoism that stand out for me, along with Oirectine and Iced Cooly (whole 9 songs are great, just these 3 are the best for me)

We've Started Up

[Jango9]

We've Started Up

5/10
Not bad, but pretty unremarkable. Despite having heard it upwards of 10 times at this point, I still can't remember anything about it other than the sample. This happens every time I listen to it, I think it's alright at the time but then it just completely disappears from my head (except of course for said sample).

Next up I nominate Chinook (Aquarius Single version)

[ParticleGhost]

Next up I nominate Chinook (Aquarius Single version)

9/10
I really love this version, because of the drums at the end and how they totally fucked around with them.

[Skimming Stone]

forgot to add a track particleghost

[Valotonin]

Just to keep the thread rolling.
Audiotrack 10A

[maxd98]

A10 is a mesmerising guitar tune. It brings me back to camping trips and summer camps, sitting around the fire. 9/10

Orange Hexagon Sun

[Valotonin]

Orange Hexagon Sun

Addicted to this thread.
Pleasant tune with the drum track shared with Turquoise HS but very well placed in both. A kind of underlying melancholy and emptiness to it that remains in the background but adds to the emotional depth. 7.5/10

Sir Prancelot Brainfire

[Najlepsiejszy]

The track is very good- 9/10. However, if you take into account the brothers' effort, it's a 2/10
