Top three BOC song for me… donr what the heck is that guitar you’re playing? I was just pondering this song the other day. The bass line and overall verse groove is soooo sick. |

Since this is an audio forum, I feel the need to post a version that doesn't have a weird hum and isn't mono. No offense Johnkenn  |

A little bit deeper cut, but this is one of my very fav BOC tunes.

Fire Of Unknown Origin is just tremendous from beginning to end. Got it for Burnin during Xmas 95 and it was a pleasant surprise how great the whole thing was. My next favorites have always been Club Ninja and Revolution. There's a few albums I need to revisit.

Hah! I clicked on the thread thinking we’d be talking about Boards of Canada.
Well the other BOC is cool too. It’s the laid back vocal delivery paired with riff rock that always pulls me in.

Top three BOC song for me… donr what the heck is that guitar you’re playing? Interesting guitar - lower horn has explorer shape but tail looks like modified flying V, and headstock is also more like a flying V. Looks like it's a Bulestra "vulcan", built by New York luthier Juiiano Balestra - DonR can confirm. It's a little clearer in this video around 1:20. |

I think this is the third time I've linked up this track on RGO. It is possibly the quintessential BOC song:

A couple years ago I was trying to remember the title and band for “Burnin’ For You” and I kept thinking it was Boston because of the harmonized guitar riff. My wife set me straight  |

I'm surprised Club Ninja wasn't a bigger seller. Dancin In The Ruins is almost as catchy as Burnin, Perfect Water is really great and classy with incredible guitar work(a sentiment shared by many in the Youtube comments), there's a couple Bob Halligan Jr songs that can compete with the best of that sort of mid-80s hard rock, White Flags has a lot of momentum, and the other tracks are still good with a lot of redeeming qualities. The sound is tremendous and the cover art has a lot in common with the cartoons that were popular at the time. It's a well-crafted and well-produced album. There was an abundance of quality hard rock and AOR in 1986, but so much of it went unnoticed until more recent times. It's been a while since I listened through Revolution and I need to go back and see what else I liked aside from Shooting Shark, Take Me Away, and Eyes On Fire. I've always been surprised that Eyes wasn't the first single released. It has the most in common with Burnin. Everything seemed so hits driven at this point in time. You could have an album like Theater of Pain or most of Ratt's catalogue where everything is very average aside from the 1 or 2 hits and those two hits would shift millions of albums. On the flipside, you could have an album full of B+ grade songs and not even go Gold because there's nothing with the right sound to light up the charts. Like Creatures Of The Night or Psycho City.

Thanks for the BOC discussion. That guitar is a Vulcan, made by luthier Giuliano Balestra. He only made a few of them. The one in matt's post is John Harper's copy, but it's a different animal. I no longer have the Vulcan, unfortunately. Gone like most of BOC's gear over the years. I recorded with it a lot in the mid years. Gibson neck radius and early DiMarzio hum buckers. I wonder where that guitar is, somebody has it. As well as my original white Gibson SG.
