Boards of Canada - chinook

[marimbajd]

Simple, elegant, and deep. As always.

[FlooperMap]

That fish is like the Chinook. Floats smoothly through the horizon. Pretty good video, the bad film quality seems to fit well to the drums. I love this track, and it is damn shame that the only version of it is on youtube, or in one of the 500 examples, which now belongs to Japanese collectors, who don't even listen to it, because their CD shall last longer than everyone else's.

[hilby]

The footage for the video is so much life the setting my brain travels to whenever I listen to this album. Nice.

[speculativeboy]

For me this is Boards at the peak of their powers. Chinook and Sunshine Recorder share that same nocturnal beauty, that sense of the strangeness at the heart of the familiar. Eno's In Dark Tree's inhabit's the same territory.

[disabledpikachu]

Shit, this is amazing.

[mrsaganscosmos]

[zofv2]

noice beats

[rockatanius]

this reminds me of some of the levels on goldeneye / perfect dark

[BeansOnGhost]

Nobody does it better than these guys! Pure genius ;')

[65daysofAphex]

Four Tet-Hands

autechre 444

[65daysofAphex]

[bethany311997]

This is definitely one of my favs

[musicoutsidethebox]

I make IDM music, it would be wonderful if you guys would listen to it and help me out =)

[incremental9]

I think so.

[sevenfl0w]

4:45 to the end ... best piece of music this decade. I bet Afx shat his pants when he head this section

[chulk607]

@sevenfl0w

Hell yes! No arguments from me mate!

[palmerpoop]

@sevenfl0w As in, Aphex Twin?

If so. Yo must be joking! :-P

[sevenfl0w]

@palmerpoop yeah, i was just saying it sounds like aphex twin, not that one is better than the other

[FrostySumo]

this song is excellent

[theconfusion105]

@hier0phant This is the truth.

[goonerballs]

@hier0phant

Go suck a bible jesus!

[Endymion766]

@hier0phant He also gave us Willy Wonka, so that whosoever cheweth, should not be bored but have everlasting gobstoppers.

[RageSchism]

@Endymion766 Lol, shutting monkeys up one by one.

[Synius44]

Man, my mental visual goes berserk when I listen to this song. I'm inside of a hugely dark immense cavern, adorned with gigantic fucking purple mushrooms and neon green pollenous floaties flying around everywhere. As I go deeper there's a huge gap in the wall that contains an electric-green-like goo rolling down the walls and into a green pool of acid, making an adequate home for more fucking huge purple, yellow and blue shrooms. Yeah.

[goonerballs]

@Synius44

i like

[unkonkrable]

@Synius44 bro, hook thy up

[zwerty007]

@Synius44 wow

[hier0phant]

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

[D3CKY09]

@hier0phant all bullshit :D

[goonerballs]

@D3CKY09

Hey.. I was just bad mouthing this guy too! What are the chaaances??

[XonezIOIzenoX]

Sup everyone, I make Jazzy-eletronica-ambient-hip hop beats on my page, come and check them out, especially tracks like "Ancient Of Days" "Bright Future" "Heaven Projection" and more!.

[unkonkrable]

sup DUUUDE...you're a mess. Stop defamating BoC videos on here.

[unkonkrable]

poor penguin done got it by the sahrk

[yuppyguitar1]

I'm definitely going on a camping trip now after watching this, and I'm bringing BOC with me!

[antmichb]

This is B-side from the Aquarius 7 inch.

[bananaoctopus]

Where would this track have been taken from? It's different to the version on on old tunes or BOC maxima.

[quixote22]

that wood carving at 1:32 (approx) looks like the creepy one outside the White spot in Campbell River

[XJproto]

Have you seen the cookie Monster carving in Willow Point yet? Epic shit.

[Seedr0]

Research Terence McKenna.

Research Derrick Jensen.

[everynickistaken1]

sounds kind of like the scene on the first ninja turtles movie where you see shredder's shadow walking into the arena to give his speech to his teenage theif gang members

[rockdeadrockstars]

haha awesome comparison

[levidapyro]

@everynickistaken1 i love you

[rcktmn3412]

@everynickistaken1 GO NINJA GO NINJA GO!!!

[nicemandan]

Sounds like Malstrom synth in Reason.

[tranceplante]

Vancouver eh?

[sinkysss]

nice vid, gives me strange feelings which I like

[RCraigful]

@sinkysss it's called ejaculation

[kirschcrumble]

voll nice :)

[gravijiga]

It reminds me of...Hydrogen o_O

[juanman100]

This tune is kind of evil

[BillNepill]

Hoodedfigure831, yeah very simple! U are right! :D Just like Einstein put some symbols and numbers and here you go - he changed the world. Wow, what a loser!

[rozradroz]

my goodness Mr. Hoodedfigue831, one must get up very early in the morning to fool you! Thanks for the enlightenment. I am now enlightened.

[Vhani6]

well dude, i was gonna write a whole bunch a stuff of why ur not right, but i'll just drop the bottom line: ur incapable of sensing quality.

[zwerty007]

@Hoodedfigure831 Yeh, but they did it exceptionally well, and these guys were around before autechre.

[Jez4prez]

@zwerty007 old reply, true, but this song was released after they met AE. It was Sean Booth who infact got BOC their big break after some of their music ended up in his hands and then he got them signed to Skam Records. Also random trivia fact, the counting stations used in Gyroscope on Geogaddi was recorded by Sean Booth, and given to BOC. They obviously know each other on personal levels and I wouldn't be suprised if they shared techniques in the past. p.s. they're my 2 fave groups!! :-)

[zwerty007]

@Jez4prez ok. Thanks for the fact!

[bxymox]

12itscoredowg, it's called DMT.

[Zellps0]

lmao.

[12itscoredawg]

dude i was trying to find a way to think of their music. it's like you're lost in the abyss of the universe and you can't find yourself out of it. but it's amazing.

[semacomer]

insanity... one word i associate with BOC most :)

[Neekstarrr]

great song! who is it by??

[zolee700]

Oh maaaan! U made me laugh so much jeeez!!! I love BoC though but I just couldn t blame u for the comment!

[DRfermasMs]

FART JOKES ARNT FUNNY

[vcludio]

I suppose the title is random? I fail to see how it could be related with the language.

[microKORG17]

this is what i think of everytime i hear this song.

[Edgaremix]

I've never heard a dark tune by them before, reminds me very much of Autechre's earlier pieces. Very nice.

[why0not0canada]

well... altough some songs are seemingly more joyous id have to say that the majority of their songs are dark or just floating in between death and space

[Freak2121GTAF]

@why0not0canada And the dark death like feeling is what I love about their songs.

[citizenflek]

@Freak2121GTAF life and death.. and life..

[OneManDoomsday]

@why0not0canada Thanks for that, I'll remember the words "between death and space" for the rest of my life.

[chulk607]

@why0not0canada

Where we all float day in, day out... in a way. Haha

[XxGaloyxX]

I love this song, but unlike their others, it just don't fit with nature. I'm getting a more dytopian feel from it. Like something you'd here in Half-Life.

[xxDreamphase]

atleast half life is artistic & awesome :D

[Futil1ty]

Now that you say that, I totally agree. This song actually kind of annoys me, though...up until around 1:15

[XxGaloyxX]

Sorry, *doesn't and *dystopian.

[Dxm009]

Love this song!

[SycoFockinNoodles]

I liked that joke, fuckin funny lol

[vcludio]

It wasn't a joke. If you think otherwise,good for you. It's still nice, but by BoC's standards it's average.

[vcludio]

I think this is one of their worst.

[sealcunt]

I WANT TO EAT THAT BIG FISH

[xanthrax13]

me too

[Maschinenzimmer777]

One of their darkest songs.

Don't listen to it while you're on acid...

[SlicedTime]

Ah, thanks for telling me :)

[InsertNameHere131]

One of Boards Of Canada's best pieces of music by far despite being one of their earlier pieces.

[andrew8622]

Sounds to me like the bit from the movie "Requiem for a Dream"

[BlatteringWindbag]

Strange Stuff. I like it.

[Gr0oMy]

A man is cupping his hand to scoop water from a Highland burn.

A Gamekeeper shouts, 'Dinnae drink thon waater! It's foo ae coo's keech an' pish!'

The man replies, 'My Good fellow, I'm English. Could you repeat that in English for me.'

The keeper replies, 'I said, use two hands - you spill less that way!!!

[TerentiaWillsomethin]

this song is so great.

[TGOC3]

lolzroflmao

You are a fuckface.

[HouseheadSeb]

is boards of canada canadian?

[Fatcaesar]

No, from the uk

[HouseheadSeb]

lol i almost thought i was gonna look stupid just asking cause of the name thanks

[jajssy22]

hehe np man, its just a name for appeal :)

[cake900000]

Actually, I believe they were both born in Scotland, then emigrated to Canada at a young age (though they're currently based in the UK). Their name comes from the national film board of canada, similar to pbs in the US, which is where they retrieve a lot of their samples(?)/inspiration from. I've seen this documented a couple different places.

[zwerty007]

@HouseheadSeb No, they're scottish. Its weird, like Venetian Snares is from Canada.

[msrahbe2]

wow noicebeast what a worthless comment. the video just adds to the moment and increases the emotion you get from the song. the music video is soley made to add more emotion with the song

[Wiggles2000]

that little black bird at 2:18 stoops in time with the music and he knows it.

[KyleMarathonDrums]

Boards of Canada should make music for a video game. I swear, this sounds like music that would fit very well in one of those neat Super Nintendo games.

[dongrel]

i could be completely wrong, but isnt the name of this track "Tears from the Compound Eye"?

thats the name of it i think

[NordicSteel]

No it is now... it is Chinook

[NordicSteel]

not* (oops)

[ihatelumberjacks]

should have filmed the fish being eaten by a shark or something..... and also, intersperse the ocean with someone taking a huge piss

[theodorus63]

great after all good job on the vid too

[samwab]

the video is...

not very...

entertaining...

but I suppose entertainment isn't the point of BOC.

[noisebeast]

Music videos are meant for songs that are unremarkable on their own and therefore must have a gimmick stuck onto them. Truly great music speaks for itself.

[trent2k7]

i love this vid, you see everyone has different taste

[aacccc]

Thanks for the post.Never heard this before,great track.

[taelue]

ahh ok didnt know that` learning more n more about BOC everyday. thanx shaftaboy`

[shaftahoy]

Just to clarify taelue - this IS an official version of Chinook, the version on boc maxima is very cut down.

[shaftahoy]

Ok. This song IS on BoC Maxima - But in a different form. This version is from a rare Single called Aquarius. And yes it is awesome.

[taelue]

Yes,This is off of Boc Maxima track #2, Boc Maxima is more of a mix cd, all trax are blended into the next i really like track 3 as well Rodox Video, Its only 39 seconds long so i copy pasted and looped it to 2;10, very minimal track, nostalgia provoking like most of their trax though. However the ending of this video isnt part of chinook. Chinook is only 4;25 long. still bigups and respect on the video and track selection`

[RastafiedMan]

this is off boc Maxima right?

[chavmo101]

This sounds more like Aphex Twin, still its fucking awsome.

[grattawin]

has this been released? is it really BOC?

[siempre289]

this song is a shit

a little boy can do more interesting

[zwerty007]

@siempre289 You are keen on the work of little boys, aren't you?

[mftheory]

This, I think is the most frightening song that they ever made.

[Dawronisgay]

This might be their catchiest song (That's available to us, the fine public ofcourse :)

[memblor]

tasty!

[BrianShaneRushton]

Flatwoods Monster.

[sevenfl0w]

this is horribe. why do people insist on making shitty boc videos. leave it to the masters please.

[dhunninghake]

This could have been a video of how to properly roast rat ass-holes for all I care...This is such an elusive track, i'm just glad to have it placed in a venue where I can listen to it when I want to. Let us not cut off our nose's to spite our face. Just glad I don't have to pay $100's of dollars to enjoy this song.

[liamCAVENDISH]

BITTORRENT!!!!!

[dhunninghake]

Didn't even think of that! Thanks!

[skydivebaby]

HAHA I'm glad I didn't have to watch rat ass-holes and I'm feeling this one too:)

[dhunninghake]

Ahhhhh c'mon!!! You're really missing out hon! Excuse my while I visualize...Ahhhh, I think I just threw up my mouth...but just a little bit.

[skydivebaby]

Wipe that off LOL! Yeah ya see therein lies the problem...I'm very visual!

[dhunninghake]

Well, I apologize by responding to my initial visualization with yet another...appetizing visualization...I will cease with the visualizations from this point on...I PROMISE!!! Just as soon as I wipe whipe off my computer screen (a little bit got away from me referenced in the previous post).

[skydivebaby]

HEEHEE no need...I'm a little perverse in my humor as well!:)

[dhunninghake]

That's why I gotta love ya! Thanks for the laughs!!!

[skydivebaby]

No, thank you! I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy now (not in a viral or bacterial way thought) LOL!:D

[skydivebaby]

Whoops, I must admit I always hit post comment without proofreading (though as opposed to thought).

[dhunninghake]

It's okay, I have an ointment for both...That weird rash and poor grammar/syntax!

[skydivebaby]

Hardy har har! I admit to becoming a little lazy on writing and using a bit of slang, but no need to get snippy my friend...

[dhunninghake]

LOL! You have grande' leeway with me, ALWAYS!!! Just couldn't resist this time around..Don't worry, if you're looking your chance for swift retribution will present itself VERY soon! I'll be home soon, will have drink in hand and then its spelling, grammar, and well, everything going out the window!! With me it's sarcasm, but with the piney fresh scent of love and respect for ya!! ; )

[skydivebaby]

sniff sniff...I look forward to your return!

[NivekianKonsolate]

Great! Chinook salmon and Chinook helicopters!! Just what I imagined the video for this song to include. (surprised there's no Chinook camper van)

[p1sschr1st]

They only released their earlier stuff to family & friends,so the story goes.Check the torrent sites for their early work.Watch out for the fake crap though

[faster4tec]

fantasic tune, been trying to hunt the album with it on for a while, but alas, it is worth money, and I have none :-S

thanks for posting it up!!

theres another boards track that I want too, but struggling to find it

[cw28pn]

LOVE THE MOOGS!

[Libaeklover]

hello, i just wanted to thank you for posting this tune to give us BOC fans a chance to hear this track, and thus, connect to the legendary and somewhat mythical tune. And with your video combined, the two will be inseparable to me now. Thanks!

[f3lixh3lix]

Hey i'm with that statement 100%!

[fiklod]

nice scenery
