... Finally received this one today, and if you've already bought "Music Has The Right To Children", then your not missing too much of the BoC sound. But read on anyway, you won't be disappointed with this release... 1. Aquarius (Version 3) [Almost] A replica of the original with some added chords and voices spinning in the background. Still has the "Orange" sound byte, as well as that woman counting between the beats. The ending is just a little different, not as harsh and abrasive as the album version. An interesting version with subtle differences, and an overall soothing effect. 2. Happy Cycling This tune is one of the reason's you should go out and buy this three track Peel Session. Sweet drum-pattern, a peaceful bassline, birds singing in the background, and smooth melodies snapping in the foreground. A masterpiece of purely intelligent electronics at its finest. How else can i explain this mind drenching plethora of wonderful sounds? 3. Olson (Version 3) I've got mixed feelings about this one. Tack an extra minute to the original, with a slower pace, and you've got Version 3, well not exactly. If you enjoy relaxing to chilling atmospheric ambient music, then this one will put you out in seconds. Much different then the original, with sub-surface effects and minor extractions from the original chords. An invisible tune if you keep your eyes open; A clear melody if played with an open mind. [Remember, that the same people who would stop you from listening to Boards Of Canada may be back next year to complain about a book, or even a tv program. If you can be told what you can see or read, then it follows that you can be told what to say or think] "Order in CANADA!"
