I feel asleep with this on, listening to "the devil is in the details". I did not know the name of the song, but I had dumped this in my shuffle... Thought it would be great to sleep too, because it's very relaxing... Had the worst nightmares of being in hell, first time in life! So now, after learning the title, I'm convinced there is some heavy subliminal trickery going on in that song. Still love it though.
Peace...

such a good voice and so cute.
A little too short, but better BOC bedtime music, IMHO.[/b]
Another album: Twang Twang Shockaboom from Austin Texas on tape called "Me So Twangy". The B-side is sublime. I can burn you a copy if you like. Peace.
Don't know if you are familiar, but BOC are well known for incorporating an incalculable number of subliminal messages into their songs. Peace.
Just looked it uo online, here's from a page that has gathered shit from geogaddi:
Why are there references to the devil (god with horns) and David Koresh? Are Boards of Canada glossing over the Branch Davidian cult in the song, "In A Beautiful Place..."? Are these subliminal messages there to convince us to join another Heaven's Gate? Also, what about the year 1969? Is it fair to say that they're referring to Charles Manson? If that's the case, what's with Boards of Canada, cults, and backwards-recorded references to the devil?
I think that these subliminal messages are there to add to the general mystique of their albums. Xer0 said it best when he said that Geogaddi evokes childhood - a time when it was easy to dream and have nightmares. BoC want the intended effect of simultaneous comfort and discomfort. The lush music creates the former and the references create the latter. Perhaps BoC scoff at the way Koresh and his Branch Davidians were portraryed as lunatics after the Waco Massacre. Perhaps allusions to such cultish figures in their otherwise soothing music mean BoC believe that society shouldn't detach itself from its most "interesting" figures. This doesn't mean that they sympathize for Koresh or Manson or are prompting us to join a cult. All in all, it's just music.

Bo Hanson -- Lord of the Rings. Listen to this and dream of elves, wizards, rolling green fields, shadowfax, misty mountains and caves. Recommended dreaming music.
but
way back in the day, coming in from a hard night of dj-ing or concert going,
nothing was better than slipping in the ol 8 track & sleeping with that non-stop loop
1978-80 was an 8 track buyers market, had a great selection of fusion jazz, reggae
or roxy music to choose from
but
King Crimson "Lizard" was the best
i knew where each channel changing click would interupt the song
+ that was ok
All three of their records are great, nice and mellow.
