Boards Of Canada - Live @ ATP 10

[satyros2]

thank you

[kivijaervi]

absolutely fantastic

[sn0wf1ake1]

These guys are the shit, eh!

[Vertsk8er419]

best version i've heard yet... this is the only recording of this version, right? the live version only, this is?

[BaronvonCase]

BOC should do a tour of abandoned buildings. If they announced a US tour, though, I would probably die on the spot. :D

[BlackSunSerenade]

Man I'd love to hear them live

[stoopiddub333]

this shit is tight sahn

[adenning96]

it starts of as the song 'Happy cycling' then they kind of wander off into there own little worlds.. :P

[Jezro]

Sounds almost like Happy Cycling at the beginning...

[riffman943]

@Jezro it is, mate

[xa1a]

@Jezro What??? The whole song is Happy Cycling...... Ugh.

[gunssheeps]

Haven't they only done like one live set ever? or did my drunkness fabricate that thought out of nothing?

[gerrybaby60]

@lukedesk if you have any ideas how we can contact each other without putting out email addresses here on utube for the world to see, it would be a pure pleasure to share this piece of pure beauty with you. Sorry BOC I have broke all the rules, but your compositions are mind blowing. As for seeing them live, I would love it if I could lie on my sofa and have them play a private function all to myself. Teehee, how wrong is that? I am proud that they are fellow scots. Geraldine

[gerrybaby60]

@lukedesk, I even got a mpeg of the album cover, a strange picture of a young boy, black and white standing  in a playground (i think). Its a stonking double album with about 25 songs on each side. I know they wouldnt be happy that this is circulating without their permission, would be interested in any new info anyone has about this or if i have got the wrong facts about it also. If you want a list of the songs on it I would be happy to email them to you.Or perhaps send you a copy???

[gerrybaby60]

@lukedesk.....I am ashamed to say lukedesk that the copy of 'a few old tunes' that I have was not bought. I downloaded it with other unreleased pieces many years ago online. when I was doing a bit of online research it seemed from wikipedia at the time, that this album was made on tape and given out to close friends at the time, it was never released. I even read that it was a fake, however it seems that the music is not fake once you have listend to the whole back catalogue.

[finalmattasy]

I finally got around to ordering a t-shirt of theirs from bleep, these guys are still totally tops even though they're pretty much retired from years back. maybe someday I'll get to see them... they'll have old grey beards and present pictures of farmland on holo-vision.

[RomanticsInc]

@finalmattasy They're about to release a new album... :3

[finalmattasy]

@RomanticsInc WHAAAAT!?

[RomanticsInc]

@finalmattasy Oh yes. Check w. twoism .0rg

[HeavySoaddict]

@RomanticsInc lol I don't think so.

[Vertsk8er419]

nice orbs. if your music is attracting higher dimensional forms of consciousness you know you're doing something right...

[ignignot765]

@Vertsk8er419 Interesting observation! Never noticed that before, but it does not surprise me. These guys are extradimensional indeed.

[deadmau5suckz]

thumbs up if you think this video is fake and gay

[Willydeville84]

T'APPE!

[gerrybaby60]

they state their influences as being watching the Film Board of Canada's shorts that we in scotland used to get in schools to fill in time. the music was etheral and full of shots of kids in the blazing sun of a snow filled winter sledging etc. i remember these films and share the same reminiscene that boc music seems to capture so well, has anyone heard the double album which never went on sale called "a few old tunes" i totally recommend it. from a loyal lover of boc.x

[lukedesk]

@gerrybaby60 yea sure, know where i can buy it???

[PersianButtons]

I love electronic compositions. I am a female electronic composer.  Oh man is it hard to find other women who do it. Most of the people I like are men.

[XVIIITheMoonXVIII]

Boards of Canada live? Wat? How is this possible?

[IamTheSalesman]

I love BoC but I don't understand how they perform live, it's all bits and pieces of other music stitched together, so what do they actually "do" on stage.

[enuneko]

@IamTheSalesman my guess is that they have multiple samplers, probably two. Some synths, a midi controller, and a drum pad of some kind.

[RoboMusik]

@IamTheSalesman

Electronic music is all about the composition, not the performance. Like classical music, you don't go to watch the violinists move their bow back and forth, you go to hear the song.

[IamTheSalesman]

@RoboMusik I agree, I'm just confused what they do up there. 

[msalami1]

Happpppypyyyyyyy circliiiiiing

[MrMAGICPOWDER]

Sometimes its not a gud idea to take it outside the su- su -studio. I mean, all that

equipment and energy to sub - duplicate the original. Altho the bbc cut of this is

lovely. Praps this is a Nokia recording.

[cullyvan]

The best them about them is that they do it on their own terms. In todays world of complete money grabbing whores in the music world and elsewhere who cares if they dont even communicate for 5 years. An album would be nice though you pair of wee radges. Ta.

[faultelectronica]

The Photo is From Warp's Incredible Lighthouse Party... I Was There. I wouldn't have been too far from the person who took the photo.

[faultelectronica]

the photo is at warp's incredible lighthouse party. I was there.

[Freak2121GTAF]

Happy Cycling?

[Thelightingeffects]

the have their own brand of hardware? or is that just stickers on their controllers?

[daftendirekt97]

@Thelightingeffects they are stickers

[cullyvan]

@Thelightingeffects just stickers.

[Thelightingeffects]

@Thelightingeffects ok i see nvmd

[anomalousartifacts]

I think the reason we don't see boc around too much is because they make music to stir their own minds. Naturally skills such as theirs can't be contained and for this reason we've all been temporarily sucked into their heads through their success. With such a lack of ego surrounding their music I can feel the passion dripping off them like light from the sun. Their songs descend on us like a settling fog and I wouldn't have it any other way!

[daveducharme]

@anomalousartifacts cry me a river drama queen

[anomalousartifacts]

@daveducharme okay dad you win, I'll cut my hair and work at the family hardware store.

[daveducharme]

@anomalousartifacts the music's fuckin sick...we know that...just don't try and write a poem about it, because you can't

[droan999]

anyone read the article in blender about them. the writer asked for a gear listing, they said vintage keyboard, mpc v1000then a series of numbers like this : FJ45^()55. im guessing these random codes, are either parameters their using. or their just so stealth about their style they dont want others to know. if anyone knows of a website where i can see a live set would be much appreciated

[syntheticregard]

WOW! what an intro! The high singing like sounds make that bass drop so much harder!

[MrNewfoundland1]

i think this might be my favorite BOC song, definitely the rowdiest of their works.

[ernestbungle26]

the gods of sound

[chilean1]

they do actually play a fair amount out. they've played in hull twice. both times i missed them :@

[djkrpt]

This track was my initiation into BoC... pure genius, seagulls!

[Dockelektro]

I hope they will never play live. The massive audiences would just scream like little girls in anticipation, and the purpose of all that BOC stands for would just fade. I like their secrecy. They are pure, untarnished, the only real alternative act out there. The only feaseable way to see a BOC concert would be in a secret place, with a few religiously silent people applauding quetly. It would be much closer to a performance experience rather than a concert.

[MrPrizmatic]

@Dockelektro  i agree with you Dock, that their appeal is definitely rooted in mystique and that seeeing them perform at something like ATP or Coachella would serve to dismantle their entire vibedentity. However, i feel that music is meant to be shared, and i don't understand their persistence on isolation from their fans.

[cmart00]

@MrPrizmatic maybe they dont want to be famous...fame can bring some awful things

[portisalpha]

@cmart00 Which makes them all the more enchanting.

[Darktree512]

@Dockelektro wow, pretentious enough? I love boc, they are my favorite band behind Rush (almost on par with them), but I think they could make one hell of an awesome live performance- one that would put the trippiness of Animal Collective shows to shame.

[GeraldProductions80]

damn why isnt there any live footage of them on youtube?

[officeboy88]

i'm thinking the exact same fkin thing

[glosoly]

I´d rather see them live...they should do a tour or something, don you think?

[IvyMike777]

Because they generally don't play live (only a few times). Wish they did!

[droan999]

dude i know, its fn unreal that in the last 10 years no ones put a clip of them playing live. their one of the more secret bands about how they make their music.

[MrFreeman420]

@GeraldProductions80 i think they are either very camera shy or want to add to te mystique of the group

[triadpairs]

@GeraldProductions80 Obviously it would be sick if there was some live footage. But it kinda makes them even that much more badass that there's not that much info on them, no interviews anywhere (except in text). Annoying, but so badass.

[deep2one]

@GeraldProductions80 They dont allow people to record their performances (the few they give), in fact I think recordings of them live were done without their consent.

[SchauNachVorn]

@deep2one I understand them, cause their music is very special and awesome. I wouldn't handle it otherwise.

[JMames]

@GeraldProductions80 they pretty much never play live!

[oskarnordin1]

@GeraldProductions80 Because they havn´t made a live appearance since 2002!

[GeraldProductions80]

@oskarnordin1 AND???

[PurpleAsparagus]

@GeraldProductions80 And every other person and their mother didn't have a high quality digital video camera on their phones in 2002. Not to mention the fact that the internet wasn't overrun with free video hosting sites where people take for granted that every live show will be posted the same night it takes place. And regardless of how much we may love BoC, they've never been what you would call a mainstream act. Not at all surprising that there's no video from the few small shows they played.

[valeriox]

Henzo is true! ... but wonderful live! ....

[homePicShow]

I love it when this tune spirals into another psychedelic universe near the end

[rrippp]

indeed. i like that part too.

[doctalee]

@homePicShow Yup My fave part

[Henzo17]

This song is Happy Cycling.

[chree2008]

sick

*****

[COALslaw]

Man. I'd love to see these guys perform. It'd be so cool.

[AdultSwimBumpChannel]

This really makes me wonder what their live show would be like.....

[Gefilta]

I'm buying it!

[dawnchorus329]

are you serious
