boc music used in commercials

Some BoC music was used in a Nissan advert that was directed by Chris Cunningham; more info on that advert here and you can watch and listen to it here. The advert begins with "The Color of the Fire" (minus vocals), but includes some other unreleased music.

The music at the end is part of a track from 'A Few Old Tunes' called '5.9.78' (side B, track 11). [Parker Hill]

live @ warp10

10th anniversary party for Warp records on 5 Nov 1999, at the Z Rooms, Old Truman Brewery, London.

[*] The name given to the third MP3 is "the color of the fire". It's nothing like the track of that name, but, since that is what the MP3 has been called, that is what is listed above.

live @ lighthouse

Live at Warp Lighthouse Party. 14 Oct 2000, at the Chainstore, Trinity Buoy Wharf Docklands, London.

live @ atp

ATP: "All Tomorrow's Parties". This event was held on 6,7,8 Apr 2001 at Camber Sands Holiday Centre, New Lydd Road, Camber Rye, East Sussex. BoC performed on the 7th of April. These 320kbps MP3 files are recordings at this live event. In contrast, note that the recording of "In a beautiful place out in the country" that appears on the (official) ATP 1.0 album is not a live recording, but a studio one.

This set of MP3s has the poorest (recording) quality.

other live appearances

• BoC appeared with Autechre, Panasonic and Cylob on 19 July 1996 ("Autechre Live At The Reach"),at The Reach (King's College Student Union) in Aldwych, London.
• They, and ThinkTank, supported Autechre in Edinburgh on (it is thought) 20 Feb 1997, at The Venue, Edinburgh.
• They were the headline act at one of Skam's "Versivo" nights at the Roadhouse in Manchester in February of 1997. No precise date known for that one.
• BoC also performed at the Phoenix Festival held from 17-20 July 1997 at Long Marston, Stratford-upon-Avon.
• They supported Seefeel in a live show in London, at Blech (a club run by Warp), on 31 Oct 1997.
• Sunflower Festival, Munich, with Autechre, Jega, Mike Paradinas, on 26 July 1997 [credit, Hetzel].
