Boards of Canada - Audiotrack 05A (Finity)

[jcotteri]

I love this track, it's so........hmmm... got such a rich melody.. The pads are so fruity.. hard to explain.

[rezbotube]

Why is everything BOC do off the scales of sick? I remember back in '05 listening to this alone in the middle of the night on a train in the 'Tonkin Alps'... out of it on some local whiskey. There was little light in the carriages. Just white eyes in the shadows and silhouettes hinting a strange culture. Cluster nano-munitions of joy carpet bombed my spine. Then it faded to 'Amo Bishop Roden' and I nearly wet myself.

@rezbotube Amo Bishop Roden takes me to another place. It's my first time hearing Finity, but I'm loving it. Why won't they release a big compilation with all the old, unreleased BoC material? Hopefully, one day.....

[TheAdminty]

@gtrmussa I heard mention that they are, whether this is true or not... check out their website.

[Mum2Boys]

This reminds me of "Everything You Do Is A Balloon".

what a WONDERFUL track

[doctalee]

Love the drums

[draftdodgerscom]

thanks for posting, it's one of my top b.o.c. tunes. there was an amazing video someone had done, that went brilliantly with this track, it was someone just walking around some eastern bloc country's streets with a camera, but then pasted blue blocks at random over it... well it was better than it sounds. re-post it if you read this!!

[roybatty100]

fantastic track ,for some reason boc tracks remind me of summer holidays

as a kid in Looe,Cornwall.

[TRaddcliff]

i love it when boc fan boys argue ha ha ha.

i thought it was about being together. ive never seen a groups of more divided and overly opionated fans.

[DDRpwnerer]

I didn't intend to start an argument, that's not what I'm here for. Sometimes you just run into assholes who have to be self-righteous, and for the record I try not to do that... So whatever. Just let it go.

[Ancaja123]

I know i hate that shit! People should be excited to talk to fellow BoC fans

ps. look at the comments on the mars volta videos, talk about divided fans!

[HelloNewYorkCity]

@TRaddcliff i remember on the forums, some fan proclaimed that he wouldn't listen to boc anymore unless they made a new album, as if they would care if they lost a dickhead anyways.

[potheadj]

the thing that makes this song great is the "demented" melody. a lot of their later melodies are just as demented. listen to alpha and omega. no melody is more fucked up then that. you dont know what you're talking about.

[DDRpwnerer]

Don't be an asshole. I'm saying that this is much more prominently dark than some of their work such as Geogaddi where it's more inherent. I think pretty much every song of theirs has that element, at least to a degree, but at the time of uploading this I saw it as a little more so. At this point I don't really feel the same way, though.

[potheadj]

dont be a douche bag you dont know what you are talking about dont try

[cyphersum]

dark as in sinister... like the anticipation of something foreboding under the surface beginning to take hold... the melting of the polar caps

[SheJanel]

I didn't think the melody was so dark.

Seems like their normal stuff.

[broadcastmyass4u]

i like it, but it sounds like something i'd make in fl studios, just because all that's in there are weird sounds like this, lol

[DDRpwnerer]

@broadcastmyass4u Except that this is probably... 13 years old (or older) though the first FL Studio was made about 11 years ago, hahah.

[taelue]

This one is titled Finity if I am not mistaken. Another favorite. It's definitely a dark melody. But I tend to like darker stuff. Nice one.

[DDRpwnerer]

Yep, that definitely is Finity. BoC has the tendency to re-release tracks like that, and considering this was an untitled work, it makes sense that they would want it to be more identifiable later on.

Thanks for pointing that out!
