BoC have gone on and on about how their music was influenced by the music (and general aesthetic) of old NFBOC films

was in response to the silly 'naff all to do with BOC' comment.

In fact, some of their tracks are named after NFBOC documentaries - Pete Standing Alone, for example.

Actually, I appreciate the highlights, I had a hard enough time navigating the site at first.

Kinda wishing NFBOC would make a vintage-film DVD boxed set right now . . . Christmas coming and all that.
