In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country is an EP released by Boards of Canada. It was released on 27 November 2000 by Warp Records between Music Has the Right to Children and Geogaddi.
The concept of the EP alludes to the countryside and nature. The record was pressed on sky-blue vinyl. Several references to the religious group Branch Davidians are also found. The second track, is named after Amo Bishop Roden, a noted Branch Davidian.[1] The third track hints towards the location of the Waco compound previously inhabited by the religious collective,[2] as well as a quote from the aforementioned Amo Bishop Roden (who was not a follower of David Koresh but was a devoted Branch Davidian, she is alluded to in the song "1969" from the album Geogaddi by the same musicians). The artwork also features a small picture of David Koresh himself.[3]
The title track was covered by Mira Calix for the Warp Records compilation Warp20 (Recreated) in 2009.
