In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country is an EP by Scottish 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. Like those albums, it was well received by critics.[1][2] It peaked at number 15 on the UK Independent Albums Chart.[3] Originally pressed on blue vinyl, the vinyl version of the EP was reissued on black vinyl in 2013.[4]

Background

The four-track collection centers around the theme of the 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,[2] after whom the second track is named, in an interview for the Mysteries, Magic & Miracles TV series. Amo Bishop Roden, the widow of David Koresh rival George Roden, reoccupied the Waco site after its destruction, sleeping in a ditch near the property until federal authorities who had been keeping her away finally abandoned it.[5]
