}}

== Comments ==
*The vocal sample is of a child saying "Yeah" reversed.

== Technical References ==
*Roygbiv is an acronym for the colours of the rainbow, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.

== Alpha Quest Mix ==
*''Roygbiv - [[Alphaquest]] Mix'' was a remix done by BOC specially for someone called Andy Soosay's student film. The track was leaked onto the net and is understood to be genuine. It's longer than the original at 6:23. The mix begins with the track "Bocuma" in its entirety. It's backed up by images of the actual DAT inlay which contains nuggets such as "Custom DIY job for Andy Soosay", "Date Time: Thursady 15th May 1997", "SOURCE: Brown source or tomato source" and "COMMENTS: Yeah, it's pretty good".

* Though it is still a matter of debate, the eerie choir heard throughout much of "Happy Cycling" is thought to have been sampled from Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" or possibly Norman Jewison's "Jesus Christ Superstar".

* The backmasked vocals beginning roughly at 6:25 are thought to be of an interview with Jeff Lynne of the Electric Light Orchestra. The subject seems to be ELO's supposed use of backmasking on their song "Eldorado" from the album of the same name, and the controversy thereof. Though the vocals are occasionally difficult to understand when reversed, the following transcript is relatively complete:

:(Interviewer's voice): "... to tell us about backwards masking ??? and the Electric Light Orchestra. A whole crowd of ... got all ... because they thought that if ... but, when it was hand-spun backwards on a turntable, and it said something like 'Christ is inferno'. Anyway, it was enough to ... cause some problems for ELO and Jeff Lynn in particular."

:(Jeff Lynn's voice): "It is absolutely ...don't ask why I said that. It didn't say anything, anything of the sort. And uhm, that was total...in fact, it was a mistake, isn't it. Because anyone who can write a song played forwards and have it say something else backwards has got to be some kind of genius, and that I ain't! I was upset at first by the accusations, you know, but now, but now I would find them funny ... we're totally innocent of all those claims ... and we're all God-fearing chaps!"

Pi, a mathematical constant.

== Comments ==
* A mathematical constant is a quantity whose value does not change; it is thus the opposite of a variable. Unlike physical constants, mathematical constants are defined independently of any physical measurement. Mathematical constants are typically elements of the field of real numbers or complex numbers. Mathematical constants that one can talk about are definable numbers (and almost always also computable).

== Comments ==
* The recording seems to be slightly detuned, probably by one or two semi-tones.

== Samples/Lyrics ==
* Throughout the track is a recording of some human voices that are garbled and buried and are, therefore, hard to comprehend. The voices are clearest at the beginning, before the bass kicks in. Noticeable in this section is a man saying a word or two (0:00-0:04), a phrase said by a woman (0:10-0:12) and a phrase said twice by a third voice (0:20-0:24). It sounds like the microphone is being banged against objects as if somebody is walking around somewhere with a hand-held tape recorder. Also audible is the sound of a child screaming (0:57). Similar sounds continue on for the rest of the track's duration. Perhaps it is a field recording of some public space, possibly a swimming pool.

== Cultural References ==
* Sherbet is a frozen dessert made primarily of fruit juice, sugar, and water, and also containing milk, egg white, or gelatin. It originated in the Middle East almost before recorded history.

== Comments ==
* Part of the melody in a recurring section of the track is built from what sounds like a 1980's corporate [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingle jingle] (e.g. at 0:27-0:30 on the right channel). This helps the listener remember (if they lived through it) the time period when corporations and organizations were using a certain type of synthetic sound for their catchy jingle melodies to seem "futuristic" and "forward-thinking" while their logo was displayed on the TV. For many this sound should create a nostalgic feeling. Contemporarily we still come across these audio-visual artifacts on certain old VHS tapes, which are usually pretty worn out and imperfect, further enhancing the nostalgia when we re-experience them. BoC, using a jingle in a track with such a title, might be illustrating how certain sensory perceptions experienced repetitively in waking life (as these jingles were in 1984) can become part of the texture in a dream and furthermore that the worn quality of the recording reflects the imperfect quality of memory.
* In a recent interview from Humo Magazine, Marcus Eoin elaborates upon the above comment. ''MARCUS EOIN (enthousiastic) "Did you hear that on Campfire, I played a small part that resembles the jingle of Stephen J. Cannell Productions – you know, the producer of The A-Team?"'' Whether or not this particular jingle appears in this track is unknown. To hear the Stephen J. Cannell Productions jingle, see external links.

Track 1 on the LP [http://fredd-e.narfum.org/wiki/The_Campfire_Headphase The Campfire Headphase]. Duration: 0.44.

== Comments ==
This intro sets the mood of the album just like "Wildlife Analysis" set the mood for [[Music Has the Right to Children]] and "Ready Let's Go" for [[Geogaddi]]. The song plays itself to be a happier than ''Geogaddi's''.

== Technical References ==
* "Rainbow Vein" is a band of quartz carbonate from which gold is mined, located in the Bad Vermilion Lake Area, 250 km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario. It was discovered and named by Stellar Gold Mines Co. Ltd in 1934.

Skytree: /* Formatting */

Welcome to [[bocwiki:The Bunker|The Bunker]]! This page is for discussion about the BoC Wiki itself: policies, structures, rules, ideas, suggestions, etc. This page is inspired by Wikipedia's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump Village Pump], which serves a similar purpose there.

{{talkpagehelp}}

== Introductions ==

Hello, I'm Moebius. I am also on WATMM and Twoism (with the same username) as well as the [[Yahoo! group]] (as pimlottc). I first heard BoC around early 1997 and have been a strong fan since [[MHtRtC]]. My wiki background comes from using [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia], where I try to keep the BoC pages under control (also as pimlottc). I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I would love for the BoC wiki to one day become the most comprehensive repository of all things BoC. [[User:Moebius|Moebius]] 20:25, 31 August 2006 (CEST)
:Hi there, I'm Fredd-E. I'm active on [http://forum.watmm.com/ WATMM], [http://barneum.com/twoism/ Twoism], [http://xltronic.com/mb/ xltronic] and [http://www.slsknet.org/ slsk] (username: Fredd-E) as well as the [[Yahoo! group]] (username: freddd_e) and [http://youtube.com/profile?user=Yawg81 YouTube] (username: Yawg81). I discovered BoC when [[Geogaddi]] came out and I am still deeply intrigued by the mysterious depth of their music. As you all know I'm also the new maintainer of the former [http://www.davidac.fsworld.co.uk/boc.htm davidac] boc pages.[[User:Fredd-E|Fredd-E]] 11:16, 2 September 2006 (CEST)

== Formatting ==

I come from Wikipedia, so I am used to many of the ways they do things. In general, I think we should follow their [[Wikipedia:List_of_guidelines|guidelines]] in terms of style and formatting. In particular, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Music WikiProject Music] (and sub projects for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums albums] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Songs songs]) has some good guidelines for how to format albums, songs, track listings, etc. In general:
* Album titles goes in ''italics'': ''[[Music Has the Right to Children]]'', ''[[Trans Canada Highway]]''
* Song titles go in "quotes": "[[Roygbiv]]", "[[Farewell Fire]]", "[[Chinook]]"

Take a look at those guidelines. If we can all agree with them, I think we should make them standard for the wiki. [[User:Moebius|Moebius]] 20:36, 31 August 2006 (CEST)

: I couldn't agree more because I do like structure and uniformness a lot as well.
: I think we should stick to these [[Wikipedia:List_of_guidelines|guidelines]]. [[User:Fredd-E|Fredd-E]] 20:48, 31 August 2006 (CEST)

I've begun fashioning my pages after Kaini's excellent "You Could Feel the Sky" article. This has more to do with organization than formatting issues, but I like the look of his page, and I feel a certain uniformity will keep the wiki professional-looking and navigable. Any problems with this approach? [[User:thedisavowed|thedisavowed]] 20:48, 16 January 2008 (CEST)

: I agree that this formatting approach seems optimum. However, I would like to suggest adding
: a section for technical references, as well as cultural. Also, it may be best to include
:basic track information at the top of the page, such as the release it appeared on and track
:length. See my page on [http://fredd-e.narfum.org/wiki/Chromakey_Dreamcoat Chromakey Dreamcoat] for an example. [[User:Skytree|Skytree]] 3:48 PM,

== To Do ==

''feel free to add, but also, feel free to remove items as they're completed''

=== Main Page/Structure ===

We don't have a very good [[Main Page]] yet; since we're lacking a decent navigable structure, I just added a link to [[Special:Allpages]]. [[User:Moebius|Moebius]] 20:44, 31 August 2006 (CEST)

=== Help pages ===

One thing we could use is some help pages, many of the mediawiki meta-pages like help are just blank by default. I put some content into [[Help:Editing]] from [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk_page meta.wikipedia.org]. Wikipedia also has a pretty good [[Wikipedia:tutorial|tutorial]] for new users we should link to, it's pretty general and not too heavy on Wikipedia-specific stuff.
[[User:Moebius|Moebius]] 21:08, 31 August 2006 (CEST)
: Thanks, I enjoyed reading this and it was very helpful as well. [[User:Fredd-E|Fredd-E]] 00:41, 1 September 2006 (CEST)
:: this is my forte; i've written most of the help pages on [http://www.lostpedia.com lostpedia]. i'll get stuck into this given time. --{[User:Kaini/sig}} 05:49, 3 September 2006 (CEST)

=== Uploads ===

Is it possible that we can enable image and other file (audio clips, dcr/flash) uploads? [[User:Moebius|Moebius]] 23:14, 31 August 2006 (CEST)
: This is impossible due to php safety restrictions on the narfum webserver. I tried enabling it but I got the following error: open_basedir restriction in effect. I contacted my host and he said this will not be resolved because the PHP setup on [http://www.narfum.org narfum.org] has been set to strict safety and as such this is disabled. [[User:Fredd-E|Fredd-E]] 00:23, 1 September 2006 (CEST)
:: Hmm, then maybe we can find some stable web space outside the wiki to upload items for inclusion in the pages. But still, I'm not sure Mediawiki supposed external images as well as it does internal ones (i.e. for thumbnailing and such). [[User:Moebius|Moebius]] 05:44, 1 September 2006 (CEST)
::: I'm very fond of [http://www.imageshack.us/ imageshack]. And external images work on this mediawiki installation; you just have to put the url to the image without any brackets. It can only be shown in actual size though; no thumbnails. See more info [[metawikipedia:Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files#Embedding_external_images|here]] or an uploaded example [[bocwiki:Upload_Example|here]] based on a [http://www.imageshack.us/ imageshack] uploaded picture. [[User:Fredd-E|Fredd-E]] 12:15, 1 September 2006 (CEST)
:::: It's a bit of a pain to have to manually link thumbnails to full sized images. And I would be much more comfortable with having the images in a place one of us controls, rather than a web site that could disappear one day. Besides, what if the wiki gets ultra-popular and we use up all their bandwidth? :) I suppose in the short term, though, that will work for images.
::::: Agreed, no thumbnails is a pain. i still have wikia's approval though... if the site gets big enough, moving it there remains an open option. but i like here, it's a good place to grow the wiki. --[[User:Kaini|kaini]] 05:52, 3 September 2006 (CEST)
::::: But that still leaves us in the lurch for audio, video, special files (swf/dcr). YouTube is okay for some things but the quality sucks. Sites like megaupload/yousendit are just annoying as hell.[[User:Moebius|Moebius]] 15:47, 1 September 2006 (CEST)

=== Some policy stuff ===
At the moment every track on every album page is a wikilink; looking at it realistically, not every track deserves an article. with most tracks, the page is at worst gonna be an infobox, and at best, a one-liner. therefore i propose we restrict track articles to those '''with lyrics''' or '''with notable information''' (examples: [[1969]] deserves an article because it has lyrics '''and''' some nice cultural references. [[Aquarius (song)|Aquarius]] deserves an article because we can mention the connections with the musical Hair, and there's a nice article on religious/hippy/acid connotations there. but Ready Let's Go, or Into the Rainbow Vein? imho, if there were articles on those, they would remain eternally stubs. --{[User:Kaini/sig}} 04:33, 3 September 2006 (CEST)
: Yes but we've agreed at the [[bocwiki:The_Bunker#Formatting|Formatting]] section that we put the song titles in quotes and make an article of it. You never know what someone is able to find about any given track. And we need to put all the tracks like this because of the consistency. It's too hard to decide which tracks deserve to have a link and which don't; that's too subjective imho. [[User:Fredd-E|Fredd-E]] 09:07, 3 September 2006 (CEST)
:I don't see why there isn't material for every song, or at least most songs. Take a look at Fredd's existing pages about comments and lyrics, there's something there nearly every track. If we don't have a page for individual songs, those are going to go into the album pages and they'll start to get really long. This way we can have a clean seperation between comments on tracks and comments on albums as a whole. And even if some songs remain eternal red links or stubs, what's the problem with this? At the least, it's a consistent way to do things, and if in the future there is something to add for one of these tracks, having it linked is a good hint to a contributor of where the comment should go. [[User:Moebius|Moebius]] 15:51, 4 September 2006 (CEST)

=== Various ===

*Create all release pages
*Put a good redirect system in place
*Allow external linking
:External linking (and [[metawikipedia:Interwiki#Interwiki_linking_from_and_within_Wikimedia|interwiki linking]] has always been enabled. You just can't post external links which are listed on the [[metawikipedia:Spam_blacklist|blacklist]] from my [[metawikipedia:SpamBlacklist_extension|spamblacklist extension]]. If a good link gets blocked you can add it to the [[mediawiki:Spam-whitelist|whitelist]] so it will get allowed by the spamfilter. [[User:Fredd-E|Fredd-E]] 09:31, 2 September 2006 (CEST)

== Songs or tracks? ==

Should we use the term songs or tracks? Songs is usually the general term used for most music, and is the term Wikipedia uses, but it doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense for BoC, since there isn't really singing in any of them. [[User:Moebius|Moebius]] 16:05, 4 September 2006 (CEST)

I think they can be interchangeable. What do you think, Fredd? --[[User:Thedisavowed|Thedisavowed]] 16:16, 4 September 2006 (CEST)
: Within the text of article, yes, it doesn't matter. But I mean more in terms of categories, infoboxes, articles names, etc. Here we should pick one and be consistent about it. [[User:Moebius|Moebius]] 16:33, 4 September 2006 (CEST)

: I'm okay with either Tracks or Tracklisting. For now I've edited it all to Tracks due to consistency. [[User:Fredd-E|Fredd-E]] 23:47, 4 September 2006 (CEST)

:: But uhm Tracklisting isn't correct English so I guess we better stick to Tracks then ;-) [[User:Fredd-E|Fredd-E]] 23:48, 4 September 2006 (CEST)

== Interview pages ==

Given the number of references already to different interviews, and the anticipation of many more, I think it would make sense to actually have the contents of the interviews on this wiki. As a start, I've created a page for the Forcefield interview - "[[A Bunker Full of Memories]]". I also created a redirect at [[Forcefield 1998]] as an easy way of citing this interview in other articles. See, for example, "[[The Color of the Fire]]". Take a look at it and let me know what you think about the formatting and such, so can establish a style for the rest of the interviews. [[User:Moebius|Moebius]] 18:20, 4 September 2006 (CEST)

: I think it's a good idea EXCEPT that I prefer the formatting on Fredd-E's pages (i.e. bolding the question asked, etc. It's easier to read. But other than that, yeah, let's make this wiki the mecca of BoC info. --[[User:Thedisavowed|Thedisavowed]] 20:48, 4 September 2006 (CEST)

: Well, we can play with the formatting, but one thing to keep in mind is that not all of the interviews are in q/a format. Some are more free-form essays with quotes thrown in at appropriate times. I put all the questions in {{tl|question}} and the quotes from BoC in {{tl|boc}}, so we can play with those templates to change the formatting around. [[User:Moebius|Moebius]] 21:28, 4 September 2006 (CEST)

: I also prefer the format I've used on my page but I also understand Moebius his point about that not everything is in q/a format. It's also a good thing you've created a template Moebius so we can format the interviews; if all the content of the interviews is going to be on the wiki then we should really use that format template (it's the same I used on the pages btw; with div classes).

== Possible redundancy? ==

We're adding so much to the wiki nowadays, don't you think [http://fredd-e.narfum.org/boc/ the actual pages] will get redundant soon? And what about the [[wikipedia:Boards of Canada|Boards of Canada page on the English wikipedia]]? Why don't we incorporate all the info from there on this wiki as well? [[User:Fredd-E|Fredd-E]] 11:59, 5 September 2006 (CEST)

: I've been including the information on Wikipedia proper in the articles I've written so far. I've tried to make the articles as exhaustive as possible. It's very possible that the old Fredd-E pages could become redundant at the rate we're going, but we have far from exhausted what they have to offer. We'll have to see how it goes down the road. --[[User:Thedisavowed|Thedisavowed]] 14:12, 5 September 2006 (CEST)

:: Well, anyway it turns out to be I'll definitely keep the php boc pages as well. Some people still prefer that and I still like them so I'm not going to delete them or anything but expanding the wiki is of course a great thing to do as well. Let's just keep them both in order ;-) [[User:Fredd-E|Fredd-E]] 16:25, 5 September 2006 (CEST)

== ParserFunctions ==

Fredd, could you please install the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ParserFunctions ParserFunctions] extension? It adds some useful functionality for templates, especially the #if function. [[User:Moebius|Moebius]] 17:02, 26 July 2007 (CEST)

''The cover of John Romero's 1972 film, "Season of the Witch".''

==Production==

*In interviews, Boards of Canada have used Julie and Candy as a point of reference for their approach to music production:

::Remix Magazine, July 2002

:::*"In the past, we've taken a much more minimal approach to the texture, like single melody lines where you could clearly hear the instrument. I guess we're heading back toward that empty sound now after Geogaddi, but sometimes it's nice to make a track that just sounds like a weird cacophony of undefined instruments. ''Most of "Julie and Candy" was actually made up of recorders and flutes.''"

::HMV Magazine, February 2002

:::*"We don't like using digital things or computer effects so we get sounds by doing things like running whole parts through a really bad tape recorder or something like that. ''Like the intro on 'Julie and Candy' for example, we just played the melody on a couple of whistles and then we bounced it back and forward between the internal mics of two tape-decks until the sound started disappearing into hell. Like when you look at an image reflected within two mirrors forever, in the distance it gets darker and greener and murkier.''"

==Samples/Lyrics==

*In the opening bars of Julie and Candy (and again at 2:46), a sample of dialogue taken from George A. Romero's 1972 film "Season of The Witch" (alternately titled "Hungry Wives") can be heard:

Shirley: "You're putting me on!"
Gregg: "We're going to try it, you ever try it?"
Shirley: "You're putting me on!"
Gregg: "I'm TURNING you on."
Shirley: "You're putting me on! Where did you get that stuff?"
Gregg: "Oh, Nikki's growing a patch out in the backyard".
Shirley: "Come on, you're putting me on."
Nikki: "Yeah, he's putting you on, he's a brat!"
Shirley: "Uh-huh. Sure, sure!"

The Cosmic Crofter

Skytree:

'''The Cosmic Crofter''' was the webmaster of the [[EHX]] website, home to the earliest [[Boards of Canada]] web page. He is the founder and curator of the [http://www.benbecula.com/ Benbecula] label in Edinburgh, Scotland.

A native of Edinburgh, Crofter appears to have had a close connection with many of the bands featured on EHX, including Boards of Canada. He posted exclusive content, such clips of the band's famous super8 footage shown during their concerts and audio clips of pre-Twoism work that has still, to this day, not surfaced in any other form.

He was also privy to knowledge about BoC's legendary [[pre-Twoism catalog]], which he posted to an early version of the official Boards of Canada website. However, despite having acccess to this information, he stated that even he himself had not heard this material. Many still contest its existence.

He was also a frequent contributor to the [[IDM mailing list]]. He was responsible for the dissemination of many of the original copies of [[Twoism (release)|Twoism]], which he mailed to interested mailing list members. It was also on this list that the controversy over the pre-Twoism catelog arose, eventually prompting its removal from the Boards of Canada site. [http://elists.resynthesize.com/idm/1999/09/489818/]

Always a mysterious figure, the Cosmic Crofter never revealed his real name (though in personal affairs, he goes by Steven) and deflected questions about himself. When asked if he himself was involved in any musical projects, he replied:

<blockquote>"I exist only within a Cosmic Zone, formed by incantations spoken by the Crofters during the Clearances, to safeguard the future cultures, whatever they may be, in Scotland."</blockquote>

He did, however, provide an email address (crofter AT ehx.ednet.co.uk) and a phone/fax number (0131 220 1205)

After running the Boards of Canada site, Crofter moved on to form Benbecula Records, and is now the driving force behind the label. He is thanked on the [http://www.benbecula.com/credits.shtml credits section] of Benbecula's page, possibly to deflect the true scope of his involvement with the label. Benbecula has pressed a label CD of his own field recordings. The CD was never publically released, and Crofter is reported to have the only copy. He recently penned obituraries for [http://www.benbecula.com/archive/ivor_cutler.shtml Ivor Cutler] and [http://www.benbecula.com/archive/john_peel.shtml John Peel] for the website

He is now reported to be living pleasantly in the country in a small cottage. However, this information could be a play on his alias, [http://dictionary.die.net/crofter Crofter] (link directed to definition of word).

The Cosmic Crofter

Skytree:

'''The Cosmic Crofter''' was the webmaster of the [[EHX]] website, home to the earliest [[Boards of Canada]] web page. He is the founder and curator of the [http://www.benbecula.com/ Benbecula] label in Edinburgh, Scotland.

A native of Edinburgh, Crofter appears to have had a close connection with many of the bands featured on EHX, including Boards of Canada. He posted exclusive content, such clips of the band's famous super8 footage shown during their concerts and audio clips of pre-Twoism work that has still, to this day, not surfaced in any other form.

He was also privy to knowledge about BoC's legendary [[pre-Twoism catalog]], which he posted to an early version of the official Boards of Canada website. However, despite his considerable access to the band, he stated that even he himself had not heard this materal.

He was also a frequent contributor to the [[IDM mailing list]]. He was responsible for the dissemination of many of the original copies of [[Twoism (release)|Twoism]], which he mailed to interested mailing list members. It was also on this list that the controversy over the pre-Twoism catelog arose, eventually prompting its removal from the Boards of Canada site. [http://elists.resynthesize.com/idm/1999/09/489818/]

1.

2. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backmasking backmasked] vocals beginning roughly at 6:25 are thought to be of an interview with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Lynne Jeff Lynne] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_light_orchestra Electric Light Orchestra]. The subject seems to be ELO's supposed use of backmasking on their song "Eldorado" from the [http://www.discogs.com/release/448838 album of the same name], and the controversy thereof. Though the vocals are occasionally difficult to understand when reversed, the following transcript is relatively complete:

A whole crowd of ... got all ... because they thought that if ... but, when it was hand-spun backwards on a turntable, and it said something like 'Christ is inferno'.

Because anyone who can write a song played forwards and have it say something else backwards has got to be some kind of genius, and that I ain't! I was upset at first by the accusations, you know, but now, but now I would find them funny ... we're totally innocent of all those claims ... and we're all God-fearing chaps!"
