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

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.
