to all the people that have been replying to my comment that this saved my life, it did save my life. and yes i hear this album is quite dark and gloomy but i find it comforting since i am a dark and gloomy person myself.
It is kind of like listening to a person complain about something and then you find that you feel the same way... Eventhough that person is talking angry stuff you can relate so it brings you closer to that person. i guess that is how i feel when i listen to this album.
The Intro Beat is taken from "Harmonika" a Kraftwerk Song That dates back to 1972.......it takes a Classic Hit To make another..........when listening to Harmonika ...got to .23 seconds of the song....and tell me If i am Not De-Cyphering Music ......I have a Keen Ear...that is like a 3rd Eye Open......
either im insane already and dnotn realize it or i just find BOC so relaxing and amazing that i feel so close to the truth when i ask God something about art and music and even about life. i think im going coocoo! LOL. oh well i took the red pill so im glad jesus told to take the red ill cause the truth shall set you free aint that what he said? LOL! just kiddingguys im not insane im just not normal! LOL
what BoC album would be the most appropriate for my upcoming Acid trip? I know some of their albums had a more eery and less happy atmosphe than the others (this one for example)
So which album(s) is/are the most chill, uplifting in your opinion?
@TheTramsen I just find it interesting the different outlooks by ppl. To me Geogaddi is their darkest album yet still extremely chilled/relaxing ( some of those little interlude songs are almost depressing to me). All the hidden messages, backmasking, old/scratchy textures & sound design and droning synths etc. MHTRTC I wouldn't say is as dark, because some of the songs on that album feel more positive imo. Campfire is the type of album that is amazing on bush walks while the sun is setting.
@Jez4prez oh wait just realised you agree that geogaddi has a more eery and less happy feel. I guess you can disregard what I said haha. I'll go with Campfire Headphase.
very bright and visually impairing. like trying to regain ones eyesight after staring at the sun for too long... or those hypnotizing scenes caused when the chop at the waters surface refracts incoming sun light, creating a dancing frenzy of bouncing sun-rays under the water....
@ardotadot Um, a question if you don't mind. I don't take LSD so I can't vouch for your personal experience, but as much as I love this album I find it dark and even scary in places. Maybe you don't, but wouldn't music like this enhance your panic? I find a lot of BoC's music to be something out of a feverish dream: snippets of distorted voices, unearthly harmonies and restless beats. Frankly, I hope I never hear this music when I'm in bed with a 105-degree fever...or on LSD. Thoughts?
@amadeus5889 that was my first and last LSD trip. I can see why people might find this music scary but i find this album quite peaceful. The snippets of distorted voices sound like my childhood memories, the unearthly harmonies and restless beats just help me get into a hypnagogic state where my head just stops thinking and my heart starts reminiscing. I should also add im a bit of a "grim" person so this sound kind of suits my personality.
@ardotadot I understand. My apologies: I hope I didn't sound judgmental. Thanks for the input. I really do love this music but I personally am unsettled by "Geogaddi". Compared to "Music Has the Right to Children" and "The Campfire Headphase" it's emotionally challenging for me. Reminds me of when I took depression medication during high school and had hallucinations, insomnia and night terrors while my body got used to the medication.
@amadeus5889 No need to apologize. I have no problem talking about my past, i dont do drugs anymore. I too took a lot of depression medication after that LSD trip but instead of marking that dark phase in my life with boards of canada i listened to other artists that i cant stand to listen to these days because they remind me of those awful times. Taking meds for depression is hard, is what im saying. I completely understand what you mean.
@ardotadot Yes, it is hard, taking medication. In retrospect, I don't think I was even depressed: I was just a teenager dealing with typical angst and I didn't have an outlet, so some head shrink slapped a label on my forehead and handed me a bottle of pills that matched said label. We are an over-medicated society. Music is the only medication a person will ever need. It sets you free.
I've been a BoC fan for years now, and I've only just noticed that the kaleidoscopic image on the album art for this album depicts people standing around a tiny planet made of hills and trees.
i really think they interpreted the title extremely well into the music. each layer in the track can be seen as infrared waves, UV waves etc... all those strange sounds represent a part of the waves the sun sends out. just my 2 cents :P
@amos1262 We are too elusive! No but seriously, I would absolutely love to meet somebody one day who loved them as much as I do. I'll be able to wax lyrical with somebody else about all the little intricacies of their music, it would make for a very long and interesting discussion! Someday it will happen! Someday..
BasementBeginnings and skateboardingkid96 are totally ruining the mellow for me...I'm gonna stop reading youtube comments, dammit. That's such a downer, and on such an awesome, relaxing song. Goddamn humans...>_>
@Intelectual95 id laugh if someone here had a 172 lol...but if going by what your saying im pretty sure you would be depressed to hear even most of their music is changed and distorted before it goes on cd man besides music is music accept different tastes or remain a blind deaf mute

Don't be mad, and please refrain from using my insults. If everyone in this video is flaming you, it is not I who is being embarassed, you pseudo-intellectual twat.
@skateboardingkid96 Nah, I don't think I will shut up. One, because you don't have authority over me. Two, because you banging your keyboard like an ape is amusing, and gives me something to do. Also, if you didn't care what I think of you then you wouldn't have responded, numbnuts.
I use one big word you don't recognize, and you instantly jump to the conclusion that I'm a douche? Whatever, skateboardingkid96. Go listen to Linkin Park, and hang yourself.
@skateboardingkid96 Cool! I accept your pending apology - just don't let it happen again, and I'll completely forget about your existence. May your remaining days be full of rainbows and sunshine, so long as you don't forget to take your antidepressants.
does anyone know where to find any boc on vinyl, been such a struggle for me here up in montana. any tips would be great or sites w vinyl for sale. if anyone knows of boc original samples would be awesome, i love finding new ones.
@droan999 for vinyl try discogs (with the obvious double u and dot com bits attached). i know a lot of their samples came off of National Film-Board of Canada
@amos1262 I actually ran into 2 BoC fans during my vacation in San Francisco. That doesn't shock me too much though. They have some of the most creative minds in that city, no wonder they listen to Boards of Canada.
@amos1262 Ur lucky to live in a country where there's at least some BoC fans, I live in morocco, and be sure that people there don't even know what is electronica or ambient, every body listens to crappy poppy commercial shit
@amos1262 I did a co-op for highschool at HMV and my manager put them on one morning beofre the store was opened. I was all YOU LIKE BOARDS? and hes all YEAHYA SON
Always gives me memories of when i was a kid in the early eighties. I can never quite place where i heard what B.O.C. sample but they always sound familiar somehow.... Memories of more innocent times.
I'm from Canada, so to me the Boards of Canada reference was always clear: "Hinterland Who's Who" vignettes by the National Film Board of Canada. The opening synth line in those videos is pure BoC source material.
I saw on another BoC video, someone was saying how Tycho was ripping off BoC and I sort of saw what they meant... doesn't Tycho have a song called Sunshine Projector?... hmmmmmmmmmmm
the other voice, not beautiful place, but the one that's hard to understand, i think the voice is saying "an evil play on minds". any other thoughts on this?
Boards Of Canada is amazing. I was listening to this song while in a car where the roof can go down, i was staring up at the sky while listening to this piece, i was then pondering about life and getting a nostalgic headrush, simply incredible.
@marzipin the sample of the voice is from seasame street. its a lil kid talking about his feelings when he is alone, sad, with friends, and when he is in ' a beautiful place" glad i could help. just got on the BoC forum and that was an eye opener, this band is unreal. such a wide array of textures and ancient sample findings. pink floyd drums on happy cycling. wow. thank you boc
@marzipin theres backmasked messages in geogaddi mentioning david koresh the leader of a famous armed cult that went to war with the army when they came to their complex and told them to submit.
also the track a beautiful place in the country talks of a religous community in the country
i think BOC just like to see if were easily suggestible and try to make you think their part of a cult lol.i find it all pretty interesting though.i know too much bout BOC sorry bout that
@radioaudiovideo i dont know really. i didnt want to come across as patronising or as if i was looking for an oppurtunity to exhibit knowledge. i find it interesting too, its pretty scary how the mind is so malleable.
yeah i can see that, a particularly pleasant one it seems :)
id like to think it has something to do with their nature orientated/nostalgic aspect of their music.
and of course warp are good at thinking out their marketing.
LOL, I never ever paid attention to BoC's 'occult' messages and themes. I fell in love with their music the first time I heard it three years ago, and my thing is tearing it apart in my mind and seeing the math. After I listen to any of their music, I feel uplifted, positive and more focused. It's like a musical Rubix cube for your mind.
to all the people that have been replying to my comment that this saved my life, it did save my life. and yes i hear this album is quite dark and gloomy but i find it comforting since i am a dark and gloomy person myself.

@amos1262 Ur lucky to live in a country where there's at least some BoC fans, I live in morocco, and be sure that people there don't even know what is electronica or ambient, every body listens to crappy poppy commercial shit

I totally agree, BOC always reminds me of certain moments and events when i was younger that i don't even remember.

Always gives me memories of when i was a kid in the early eighties. I can never quite place where i heard what B.O.C. sample but they always sound familiar somehow.... Memories of more innocent times.

I'm from Canada, so to me the Boards of Canada reference was always clear: "Hinterland Who's Who" vignettes by the National Film Board of Canada. The opening synth line in those videos is pure BoC source material.

the other voice, not beautiful place, but the one that's hard to understand, i think the voice is saying "an evil play on minds". any other thoughts on this?

Boards Of Canada is amazing. I was listening to this song while in a car where the roof can go down, i was staring up at the sky while listening to this piece, i was then pondering about life and getting a nostalgic headrush, simply incredible.

@marzipin the sample of the voice is from seasame street. its a lil kid talking about his feelings when he is alone, sad, with friends, and when he is in ' a beautiful place" glad i could help. just got on the BoC forum and that was an eye opener, this band is unreal. such a wide array of textures and ancient sample findings. pink floyd drums on happy cycling. wow. thank you boc

@marzipin theres backmasked messages in geogaddi mentioning david koresh the leader of a famous armed cult that went to war with the army when they came to their complex and told them to submit.
also the track a beautiful place in the country talks of a religous community in the country
i think BOC just like to see if were easily suggestible and try to make you think their part of a cult lol.i find it all pretty interesting though.i know too much bout BOC sorry bout that

@keggg1234 why are you sorry lol , thats pretty interesting as far as im concerned.
And if you look at some of the comments on BoC videos , dont you find people acting as if theyre part of this special collective?

@radioaudiovideo i dont know really. i didnt want to come across as patronising or as if i was looking for an oppurtunity to exhibit knowledge. i find it interesting too, its pretty scary how the mind is so malleable.
yeah i can see that, a particularly pleasant one it seems :)
id like to think it has something to do with their nature orientated/nostalgic aspect of their music.
and of course warp are good at thinking out their marketing.

LOL, I never ever paid attention to BoC's 'occult' messages and themes. I fell in love with their music the first time I heard it three years ago, and my thing is tearing it apart in my mind and seeing the math. After I listen to any of their music, I feel uplifted, positive and more focused. It's like a musical Rubix cube for your mind.
