"In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country" is an EP by Boards of Canada. Encompassing four tracks, the ep tends to favor a more pastoral and elegiac atmosphere than its predecessor Music Has the Right to Children.
Although musically the EP is no great stylistic departure for the group, it 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 Koreshâs millennialist sect, the Branch Davidians.
The most overt of these references is found in the track title âAmo Bishop Roden,â the real name of a woman who parted ways with Koresh before the 1993 Waco Siege. A less obvious reference to the Davidians is also found in the title trackâs mantra âcome out and live in a religious community in a beautiful place out in the country,â alleged to be a slogan used by Amo Bishop Roden to proselyte for the Davidian sect.
On a somewhat more speculative note, the picture found directly beneath the disc on the CD release of the EP is thought by some to have been cropped from this picture (widely circulated by the media) of David Koresh.
References to the Davidian sect would continue to spill over into other Boards of Canada releases, notably Geogaddiâs (2002) â1969,â as well as their remix of Slag Boom Van Loonâs âPoppy Seedâ (2001).
The EP was released by Warp Records in both CD (WAP144CD) and 12â (WAP144) formats on November 17, 2000. The latter was pressed on sky-blue vinyl.
In 2002, the song "Kid for Today" was featured in a BMW 7 Series commercial for British television.
