“In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country” is an EP by the electronic music duo Boards of Canada. It was released by Warp and music70 on 27 November 2000, in the period between the duo’s albums “Music Has the Right to Children” and “Geogaddi”.
This four-track release centers around David Koresh’s Branch Davidian religious sect and their Waco retreat. The title of the EP refers to a vocoder-processed and slowed voice sample used on the third track, which repeats “come out and live in a religious community in a beautiful place out in the country.” This line was spoken by Amo Bishop Roden.
“In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country” stands as the absolute pinnacle of the Scottish duo’s creative skills!
