Bands/Artists that have influenced BOC

I've heard my bloody valentine mentioned as influencing them, but who else?

the beatles

the incredible string band

Cocteau Twins.

Brian Eno

(plus, i suppose, catchy melodies whatever they come with - as goes with every other music maker..)

....DEVO?

they've specifically mentioned joni mitchell in at least one interview.

there's a bit of a feedback loop going on between boc and the focus group/ghost box stuff too, as regards influence.

80's pop music

I'll wager Syd Barrett as well, but I don't think they've ever name checked him.

oh yah . any chance anyone has any of that recorded anywhere ?

i'm going to completely go out on a limb of uninformed speculation and say that the artist andy goldsworthy has had some effect on the sandison fellas, seing as he's scottish and all.

as re the film board of canada sheeit..
