I got one used without cover, and if anyone knows where I could buy a cover for it or is for some reason willing to sell theirs, please let me know.
Rated 5/5

I purchased this at the (now defunct) Ozone Record store in Portland, OR, USA, on the strength of it being "Album of the Issue" in Jockey Slut magazine.
I was able to preview it on the in store decks and was instantly sold.
I would sell you my copy for top $, but every night I close the curtains, put it on and just make total love to myself.
Rated 5/5

This album is absolute perfection. Never has music been this beautiful, nor do I think it ever will again.

Best album ever made, that's all I have to say about that.

I'm a little puzzled as to why no-one has mentioned the origin of their name- BOC is a reference to the National Film Board of Canada. Best known for it's documentaries, in the 70's and early 80's they produced some exquisite wildlife films. I was entranced (as I'm sure the BOC guys were too) as a young child when I chanced upon them on Irish network TV. No doubt a cheap schedule filler, these films were interspersed with the warm, fuzzy analogue tones you hear on this album. I was surprised upon my first listen to have flashbacks of caribou and melting tundra ice pop into my head! Lets say this delightfully pastoral album is'inspired by' the theme music of the NFB rather than use the crueller 'liberally sampled'. Not the piece of groundbreaking originality some claim but a wonderful evocation of wonder and nature just the same
Review by the_cosmic_funkonaut Jun 07, 2005 (edited over 6 years ago)
An interesting Lp throughout, my favourite tracks being ROYGBIV with its slow stomping hip hop beat and lovely warm retro sounding synths/instrumentation and 'hey!' sample, and also the strange a and beautiful 'aquarius'; a laidback electronica lovely with the 'Orange' sample which i think is from the film UHF, and also the counting sequence.
Best release I've heard from Boards Of Canada.
