I'm mainly referring to all of the tracks that are available to fans. Obviously not songs from albums like Acid Memories (minus "Duffy")

Of all the original tracks by BoC available to fans, which do you think is the least heard or known about?

I was thinking maybe the 30-second sample of "Circles" on Hooper Bay, or "Trails" as that was the last one I've heard (to my knowledge, I've heard every BoC track available to the public and fans at the moment. If there's one you think I haven't heard, I'm more than glad to listen).

But having given some more thought to it, I guess I'd give it to "The Story Of Xentrix" which is technically Hell Interface, but still the Sandison Brothers nonetheless.

I also thought this thread would be a good way for BoC fans to find and search for tracks we haven't known about until reading the replies.

That's the regular peel version of Happy Cycling. But, oh my gosh, I can't tell you how much I love Happy Cycling...

I think I know the version DP is talking about though, I used to have an MP3 of it and it was one of the few BoC tracks I'd heard, and it actually almost made me dislike BoC entirely. Good thing I heard the rest of their music haha. I can't find it on youtube though.

no, not that one. i am referring to the broadcasted version of Happy Cycling called Happy Cycling (Bad Day). i have the mp3 on my HDD but i cant get to it at the moment. but that link you posted is ten times worse than the one i am talking about. i love the version of Happy Cycling that appears on MHTRTC, but the "Bad Day" version is not very good. hence the title.

Not counting live recordings or the other leaked tapes, smoke's quantity is the track that has the less playtime in My iPod.

We know! That's already been posted in THIS thread. It's not the bad day version.

Hahaha... I skipped over it thinking that someone had just posted a low quality MHTRTC version or something. I wasn't even aware that there was another version.

Whooooooooooooooooooops. :lol:

The less playable BoC tracks in my opinion is:

Smokes Quantity
Basefree
Diving Station
Energy Warning
Dayvan Cowboy (Odd Nosdam Remix)

and of cource many tracks from Old Tunes like:

King of the carnival
Iced Cooly Beatnik
Boqurant
Powerline misfortune
House of abn'adab

P.S. - Don't be rude if i called you faved track is less listenable :)

Next
