*The drum loop played from the beginning of the song to 2:20 and 2:54 to the end of the song is similar to the one in the 1-minute snippet of "[[Wouldn't You Like To Be Free]]."

'''Time Apple''' is a loop that appeared on an early official Boards of Canada website<ref>[[http://atomless.com/projects/boc/site/| Boards of Canada website]]</ref>, which featured this loop (among other looped Boards of Canada tracks) set to visuals. The loop is internally titled "kaleidoscope."

The inclusion of wind chimes makes the piece unique to the brothers' discography.
== Samples / Lyrics ==
The track is an adaptation of a sample taken from 'Enchanted Forest' by Dick Mills featured on the 'Out Of This World - Atmospheric Sounds And Effects From The BBC Radiophonic Workshop' album.

Boc Maxima (song)

2024-05-02T16:27:30Z

Gantzgraf: Kinda useless to have this page considering the song's the exact same as Bocuma. (other examples of this type of stuff include I Love U, A02 and B03.)

Turquoise Hexagon Sun

2024-04-03T17:29:16Z

Gantzgraf: /* Trivia */ This was already talked about in the samples/lyrics tab.

{{Infobox Song|

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* [Evan Snyder] gave me this interesting link - http://jonathanclark.com/diary/flare/ - on the subject on lens flares. The number of blades making up the aperture of the lens influences the shape of the lens flare produced, so that a six-bladed aperture, for example, would produce a hexagonal sun flare effect. Evan suggests the possibility that the name was inspired by a documentary, or even one of Hexagon Sun's own films, with special meaning to [[Boards of Canada|BoC]], featuring a prominent turquoise hexagonal sun flare. An intriguing possibility, and a very interesting link. (You can also find photos fitting this description at [[Warp Records|WarpRecords]] - go to Artists, [[Boards of Canada|BoC]], and look at the Gallery photos).
* Not specifically in relation to this track, but in a wider sense (Hexagon Sun, the kaleidoscopic images on Geogaddi, etc), here are comments from the [[Interviews#2002-02-23:_NME|NME Interview]]:
<blockquote>
"What's the significance of hexagons to you?" 
"[[Marcus]]: "The hexagon theme represents that whole idea of being able to see reality for what it is, the raw maths or patterns that make everything. We've always been interested in science and maths. Sometimes music or art or drugs can pull back the curtain for you and reveal the Wizard of Oz, so to speak, busy pushing the levers and pressing buttons. That's what maths is, the wizard. It sounds like nonsense but I'm sure a lot of people know what I'm talking about."
</blockquote>

* Saturn. Saturday. Saturn-day. Sun. Some speculate that Saturn used to be our sun. Or that it’s some sort of supercomputer projecting our reality via its rings, maybe with the signal bounced off the moon? Saturn = Satan? There is a turquoise hexagon at one of the poles of Saturn. Maybe this is what they are referencing? https://www.businessinsider.com/saturn-hexagon-storm-images-2017-5

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* Shares a drum sample almost completely with "[[Orange_Hexagon_Sun|Orange Hexagon Sun]]".
* Various bits of speech, repeated elsewhere in the track. It's hard to make out much, but here's [DC]'s guess at some of it:
<blockquote>
"there's been a [release/leak]"? [female voice near start] - 0:36, 1:58 
"Oh, ... I know" [Scottish girl] - 1:14, 2:35 
"Just slightly" [different Scottish girl] - 4:29 
"... just [come in at the] end, right?" [English man] - 4:19 
"fan - tastic" [same man?] - at about 4:38. 
</blockquote>
* The girl speaking at about 1:22 and 2:44 sounds (to me) like the same one who speaks all the way through all 3 live recordings of BoC at ATP, Lighthouse, and Warp - which adds to suspicions that these are recordings of people talking at the the Hexagon Sun studio, as the title of the track would suggest.

== Trivia ==
*The synth melody that appears at 3 min & 14 sec into this track is the same synth melody that appears at 2 min & 49 sec into the track "[[Sunshine Recorder]]" from ''[[Geogaddi]]''.
*'Hexagon Sun' refers to the studio of [[Boards of Canada]] in East Scotland, but also to the collective of musicians and friends of [[Michael_Sandison|Michael]] and [[Marcus_Eoin|Marcus]].
*This song has been speculated to contain samples from inside the Hexagon Sun studios. These samples have also been said to match up to voices in the recordings of some live shows backing up the claim that they are from the inside.
* "[[Turquoise Hexagon Sun]]" might be a reference to the [[Hexagon Sun]] "collective" of musicians and artists who work at [[Boards of Canada|BoC]]'s Hexagon Sun Studio in the east of [[wikipedia:Scotland|Scotland]].

Closes Vol. 1

2024-04-03T12:25:57Z

Gantzgraf: Archived link

{{Infobox Release|
| name=Closes Volume 1
| cover=BOC-album-18.jpg
| release_date=1992
| format=Cassette CD
| label=Music70
| catno=AOMC16
| runtime=56:22
}}

[[Closes Vol. 1]] is [[Boards of Canada]]'s third known release.

The album has not been heard by those outside of the band's family and friends. MP3s labeled "Godever" (1:46), "Treeline" (1:12), and "Trillions" (3:31) are not the tracks from ''Closes Vol. 1''; the latter two are definitely not by [[Boards of Canada]].

4 tracks have the title [[Close1]] through [[Close4]]. Some track titles have mathematical connotations: [[Tends Towards]] (from analysis, limits, etc.), [[Numerator]] (fractions), [[Trillions]], [[5d]] (5-dimensional).

It was originally a cassette, but has been repressed on CD in 1997 <ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20010619002758/http://www.boardsofcanada.com/discog_closes1.html</ref> <ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20010606220519/http://www.boardsofcanada.com/records.html</ref>.

In 2014 on [[PIC]]'s own photography website, under a category called "In Life And In Song" he posted a high-resolution scan of what could be the origin of the cover without the "b.o.c closes vol. 1" marking in the top-right picture which was surely edited before the album's release.

The fact that in the time-stamp present in both the original source and artwork of the album, the year 1997 is present which matches the year in which the album was re-pressed on CD, could mean that the original 1992 cassette release has a totally different artwork. <ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20170826030640/https://www.peteriaincampbell.co.uk/wp/?skills=in-life-and-in-song</ref> <ref>https://imgur.com/a/gT2ir</ref>
