Encompassing four tracks culled from the same recording sessions from which Boards of Canada would later produce [[Geogaddi]] ([[Interviews#2002-03:_OOR|OOR Inteview, 2002]]), the ep tends to favor a darker, more pastoral, and even elegiac atmosphere than its predecessor ''[[Music Has the Right to Children]].'' |
| − | Although musically the EP is no great stylistic departure for the group, ''In a Beautiful Place out in the Country'' does represent a significant change in tone and subject matter. Of particular note are the references in the music and album art reflecting an interest by the brothers in the history of [[David_Koresh|David Koresh’s]] millennialist sect, the [[wikipedia:Branch_Davidians|Branch Davidians]].

A less obvious reference to the Davidians is also found in the title track’s mantra “come out and live in a religious community in a beautiful place out in the country,” alleged to be a slogan used by Roden to proselyte for the Davidian sect. |
References to the Davidian sect would continue to spill over into other Boards of Canada releases, notably on ''Geogaddi’s'' [[1969]], as well as their remix of Slag Boom Van Loon’s [[Poppy Seed (remix)|Poppy Seed]]. | References to the Davidian sect would continue to spill over into other Boards of Canada releases, notably on ''Geogaddi’s'' [[1969]], as well as their remix of Slag Boom Van Loon’s [[Poppy Seed (remix)|Poppy Seed]]. | ||
