I really love the fanfare at the start, in fact I used it as my alarm clock for a long time haha. But I wish the rest of the track developed a bit more, there is very little variety overall for me.

5 or 6 for me.

A13 (This track is very special for me, I have a strong feeling it was made using distorted guitar and the melody is haunting.)

10/10

I absolutely love this track to death, i definitely with this track was longer than it is. I think it also sound slike a really fucked organ or a piano being played really aggressively.

carcan 8/10 (a few old tunes version)

I really like this track . Once again it conjures up images of nature and wilderness and wouldn't sound out of place on the soundtrack of a national film boards of Canada movie.
Cant make out the voices, they sound reversed . anybody got any idea?

4/10

It's one of the tracks I skip in OTV2, one because the introduction makes my ears bleed, and two it pales in comparison to the other songs in that album. I still like the heavy drum beat, though.

Can't rate it really. What is there to say? It is a stoned out track, perfectly placed on twoism. Not a standout for me particularly though.

10/10


The reason I give this song a 10/10 is because of an emotional attachment I share with it. I remember the first time I listened to Geogaddi was when a friend of mine let me borrow his Geogaddi CD, because he had heard that I had recently got interested in BoC (I listened to AFOT and loved the crap out of it). However I didn't pay attention to the fact that the CD he had given me was a Japanese press and it was missing the OBI strip. When Magic Window played and I thought the CD was over I was stunned with amazement. This album was incredible, hell, it was the same kind of experience one would assign to a GYBE album. So I just lay there to take a breather after this stunning experience, but part of me was longing for the album not to have finished. I wanted to hear more. And I heard more. From One Source came on and I thought I was dreaming, because I thought the album had ended due to the long pause. I felt shivers all over my body as I heard this warm synth melody, and I was kind of laughing as well because I was so happy the album was still going. Then it stopped and I know this 2:13 of music would stay close to my heart for a long, long time. I have removed this song from my phone and long returned the CD to my friend (who I thanked immensely), so I can save this song for extremely special moments.

The synth melody sounds like Dandelion reversed, the voices make you think about a greater being, the placement of this song in Geogaddi is just right. It's perfection.

Glad to see someone rates it as highly as I do. See here for my thoughts: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11297&start=120 the post that quotes the user aquarius.

7/10, uses kool and the gang in a pretty neat way, but I don't go to this track much.

Bubbah's Tum - Dirty Great Mable (Boards of Canada Mix)

6/10 It's a cool remix, but I don't so much enjoy the atmosphere and actually think it is a bit out of character for them. This is more conventional dark than BOC dark if you see what I mean?

Pretty good track, and indeed the percussion is fucking wicked. But for me it's not Chinook wicked.
While this track is definitely a track I sometimes return to, it's missing something that most BoC tunes have (I don't know what this 'something' is). This is why I prefer every other song from the Peel Session (Bad Day is my favourite, that end bit just gets me).

Mukhinabaht 9/10

The rhythm track Is quite busy reminding me of clacking typewriters and clockwork ratchet sounds with its very melancholy melody over the top, it works amazingly well with the George Schwizgebel animated short " Year of the Deer" and along with those images, it makes it even sadder and even more morose. I always imagine that particular film whenever I hear it now. :( Check it out on You Tube.

8/10

It's nothing amazing on it's own, but TH wouldn't be the same without it. I think that's true of a lot of the tracks on that album. I tend to view it as one long track rather than as separates. I would give the whole album a 10, but seeing as it's one of the less interesting atmosphere tracks, I will knock 2 points off. It still rates high because Tomorrow's Fucking Harvest.

I'm going to pick Dawn Chorus because it was one of the first BoC tracks that really grabbed me, where I really thought "woah!" A gateway drug of sorts.

Sorry for not picking an obscure one.

Aw man. I found Dawn Chorus while browsing youtube years ago, and it was the first BOC track I'd ever heard. I didn't know what to think. Amazing track 9/10.

Midas Touch because I have been really into this track lately. It is more than the sum of it's parts. In reality they just took the vocals, added some glitchy percussion and layered it into their now trademark melancholic synth line.

Sorry just wanted to quote you on Uritual, for me it's opposite, it's really feels like separate piece, maybe very old, the most "Autechrish track, from them, on the album

5/10 because I really don't like the vocals. The original one I would give a 1/10, but because BoC has godly drums and synths, it's not too bad. Also, that pad.



Track I chose: Telephasic Workshop. (Sorry if it's already been chosen)

Rarely in the mood to listen to this track, but I can't give it a lower rating because when I'm in the mood for it it's soooooo amazing.

Spectrum is very fun, I immediately noticed the twoism percussion, and the fun vibe. It sounds like the beginning of a very entertaining movie.
