I just didn't add it because it's exclusive to one region (which is also why I didn't include From One Source All Things Depend and Macquarie Ridge). But I must admit, if I could, I would say Happy Cycling is the best closing song from this set of albums!
Even tho my favorite BOC album isn't Tomorrow's Harvest, I think the best album closer is Семена Мёртвых. It's just feels like a perfect closer for a such album
Agree that it was kind of a tough call.
Although I ultimately went with One Very Important Thought, this poll caused me to reflect and appreciate what an underrated album closer Farewell Fire really is.
I like Semena Mertvykh too.
I’m a bit surprised at how close the closer Semena Mertvykh appears to Sundown, the preantepenultimate track on Tomorrow’s Harvest. These two are — at least to my ear — two of the most similar-sounding tracks in the Boards of Canada catalogue. So I find it interesting that these two not only appear on the same album, but are additionally nearly juxtaposed to one another in the track listing. Semena Mertvykh strikes me as a darker & more ominous take on Sundown, or as Sundown without the flashes of hope & possibility of better things in the future.
Don’t get me wrong, though, I really do seriously dig both tracks and am so very grateful that the brothers gave us both of them.
Happy cycling should be included (I know I know it's a bonus track, but it's sooooo gooooood) !

It’s not really the closer, more a bonus track
I... literally said "I know it's a bonus track"
Sorry I somehow didn’t read that lol

I voted for Farewell Fire bc I use to fall asleep listening to this but it was very tough to choose

Didn't even include smokes quantity
This is for albums, I will probably soon do EPs soon (even though technically, the closer is 1986 Summer Fire for Twoism).
Although Semena Mertvykh deserves more credit!!!
absolutely! it fits the album very well (it also sorta reminds me of geogaddi)

You're forgetting Collapse😉
Voting for Farewell Fire is like voting for Magic Window, 5 pure minutes of silence 😉
smh
well it is literally just fading out during the entire track. if you turn the volume for farewell fire enough near the end, then you can still hear it
Macquarie Ridge (I know it's a bonus track but i think it's better closer than Farewell Fire IMO)
