Boards of Canada - A is to B as B is to C

[FlooperMap]

= Brian.

No, I don't know. I think it is some kind of scope, like those pictures, which was inside the CD. You know what I mean?

[J4hbulon]

What is the meaning of "Geogaddi"

[dynamitefires]

amazing is to boards as boards is to canada

[MrMushroom123]

if you go down the woods today you better not go alone

[VincentBrooke1]

"I've been gone about a week. Oh, by the way...

...yaw eht yb ,hO .keew a tuoba enog neeb ev'I"

[PantherFox]

If you listen to the phrase 'I'll be gone about a week, oh by the way..." the backwards version playing afterwards sounds like a continuination to the phrase, resulting in the sentance:

"I'll be gone about a week. Oh by the way... I owe you a nightmare."

Listen to it a few times. Upvote me if you hear it. :)

[pyromohanzed]

If A is to B... and B is to C.... than what is D??

lol, i don't care... this song is good in a different kind of way.

[ancavalcanti92]

I'm glad they can't check my piss for BOC.

[konjunktion26]

do someone know if boards of canada do now these days music under another name? i don´t want to miss a thing they produce! they are very talented and its a bit strange that their music never was on television on any music channel. why?

[thedeeliciousplum]

Wow! Melting a wonderful and experimental community of musicians with one of my favourite directors. Bliss! =)

[AdagioMS]

I'm afraid this video >. <

[EmergencyRoom21]

play the song backwards, the part right after he says "i have gone about a week" (or right before if its backwards) is exactly that. the song says "i have gone about a week" forwards and then backwards

[rruuppoo]

damn, how close can you get!?

[shoplifting1is1fun]

Good job on the video, love it.

[RustyShells]

trippy awesome.

I like this video

[mrmattw95]

we love you all

[ThePeTaSuCkS]

my mind literally just exploded

[Jkfilms7]

Tarkovsky and Boards of Canada are both genius. Great video.

[HorrorPixieMassacre]

This is what dying feels like?

[vanvalldrey]

six seven Eight nine ten...

[IlyaKhleboyko]

This video has A LOT of Tarkovsky influence.

[nonphixional1]

the intro sounds like a BONG HIT to get you going.maybe its to trigger the ''high'' chemicals.

[Left4meh]

1:14 creeps me out DX

[oliverwaker456]

if you play this song backwards you can hear the song teddy bears picnic.

me and my cousin were in maine and he kept on singing that song often to annoy me, and he had it on his ipod and actually listened to it often.I actually showed him this song and neither of us knew that the song was in this one right under our noses.

thats why I love Boc.

[ThaSupaHeroReD]

my brother is terrified by this soundtrack

[docbeetle]

Thank goodness for Boards Of Canada,,,seriously

[ianispooponastick]

All the movies used in this video are amazing. Thanks for mixing my favorite artist and my favorite director together.

[Gulielmi87]

I see what you did there:)

A tarkovsky clip from "the mirror", good stuff.

[cullyvan]

If you go down to the woods today you better go in disguise.

[Lutchenka1]

Mas que vídeo horrível!

[amazinglyunique]

Great work.

[pureecstasy]

this is so philosophical

i have never watched any Tarkovsky films

[3riforce]

With songs like this, i bet BoC could record themselves taking a shit in a laundermat and throw in a random computer beeps and blops and everyone would think its pure ambient genius

[cullyvan]

@3riforce You have no understanding.

[lvl9001Troll]

@cullyvan

hes right though

[Naetrox]

@lvl9001Troll

lol no

[hehfilms]

@3riforce You obviously do not have the right mindset/perception abilities for Ambient music to make sense. Go back and listen to some more Hip-Hop. I'm sure Em has a lot more to say about taking a shit than BoC does.

[MrMushroom123]

the problem is,

that C does'nt know A.

[profyt]

I still don't like the damn face @ 1:27

The music at that parts doesn't make it better lol

Momentary creepiness.

[Exesta]

love that sound at start lol

[other6people]

up to 35 seconds its ok. then it gets absolutely fantastic. such a peaceful melody. then at 55 a twist into an alternate video game realm. then im just tottally faded at 1:20. and i need to go to bed at this point

[MrMumpo]

The great question that now faces humanity and the one that ought to be at the forefront of science and mathematics is what C is to.

[inabeautifulplace]

how's it possible no one's posted this backwards?

someone please do it.

[platinumdynamite]

@inabeautifulplace They have, it's lot a ton of messages backwards.

[genericusername337]

I couldn't find it.

link me? pretty please?

[genericusername337]

nevermind found it

[marzipin]

lovely

[psylence101]

I can sense Tim Leary flipping out to this on the other side.

[Ganbareg]

listen to the music for EQUINOX on the snes, if you like whay you hear msg me,peace

[Ganbareg]

warm fuzzy memories, peace.

[peterpanmannnn]

I like how you edited it blurry and what not.

[nuMbERsRuNN3R]

their tracks are way too short.

[zoomjoo]

theyre not short, you're just not appreciating every second of them...try getting high and listening

[dantebruni]

aguante la musica bella y oscura ¡

[chumbscrubber42]

boards of canada always reminds me of being tired in science class and watching educational videos, i love it!

[CkerCky]

omg, this is exactly how i feel, you described it perfectly!

well done!

[happyorangeanimation]

haha! yeah, reminds me of watching old wildlife programmes. Quality

[QuantumBasis]

@chumbscrubber42  Seriously lol

[jdoggybizzle]

@chumbscrubber42 fond memories of my childhood

[LubricatedSquirm]

@chumbscrubber42

Took the words right off my brain.

[frankp7400]

Backwards:

"We love you all!" (also forwards)

"[Jangly electronic noises] I'll be gone about a week. Oh, by the way, I brought ... [brought her pillow] [BARK BARK]" ["season of the witch"]

(Extract from "Teddy Bears' Picnic" song): "If you go down to the woods today, you'd better not go alone!"

"I don't know, it makes it . I still got 'em, I still dream about him. I don't know, I just wish it had never happened." " the whole thing?" "The whole ... the whole thing goes over and over."

[razedeezy]

It sounds like an alien flippin through different alien tv channels. that's an awesome thing!

XD

[soberson08]

LISTEN TO THIS SONG BACKWARDS!

[frankp7400]

Tell me how to listen to it backward please!

[GeoAl09]

smoke weed and listen to this, its AMAZING lol

[IlluminusQ]

i love the 12345, 678910, now in spanish then in french, we'll say that twice again

[DarkAndMartyr]

AAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR BOARDS OF CANADA! they're like VHS tapes but like even more amazing!

[bandwidthfilms]

your video is a good thing

[CyclePat]

I learnt about this song by watching the youtube video:

watch?v=j6-bjUqbRJY

[CyclePat]

I learnt about the afformentioned Youtube linked video by doing a search on google maps.

[ShopliftersUnite]

how did you learn about Google Maps?

[profyt]

1:27

anyone see a blurry face?

[Linkin217]

yeah that was kinda creepy

[frankp7400]

Yeah I'm so scared!

[TEKM0SIS]

[BeretCyclist]

I love the change at 0:39, so...epic? Yes!

[PObserver]

I prefer Geogaddi to Music Has A Right.

[TEKM0SIS]

rly

[artemetrajes]

We can have fun creating videos for BOC music, but we will never know or there will never be a video that explain BOC's music

BOC is just music, deep quality music.

[mondopark]

Thats because they are

[youwishho]

is song is buf u get me blud

[absolutelywankered]

anyone know what the voices are actually saying?

[djteq9]

this whole album is scary....but its good as hell

[Gefilta]

The reprise on the Beatles Strawberry Fields Forever used to scare me as a child. This is kind of reminiscent ... and "I got blisters on my fingers" in Helter Skelter. Not to mention all the Manson nonsense that went with it. Watch WACO: Rules of Engagement. Adds to terrifying edge of A Beautiful Place. No I'm not stoned but wishin' I was...

[Beck436]

Gefilta

The reprise on Strawberry Fields frightened me as a kid as well! Sixtyten still makes me a bit uncomfortable.

[yungmastrchrysjin]

well there is this....

watch?v=1s6Z5J_gLDs

A is to B as B is to C is at 2:29

[yungmastrchrysjin]

yeah someone needs to post a reversed version of this for people to hear after they hear this

[TheRocketVoltage]

I remember I had this song, and a backwards version of it. And I linked the two together, making it one song.

I tell you, its even TRIPPIER when you hear both versions. <3

[bobaloubro]

Man you have to try and post that. Sounds class.

[DDRpwnerer]

IF YOU GO INTO THE FOREST TODAY, YOU BETTER NOT GO ALONE.

... God, this album scares me now.

[Glonito]

i agree, it gives me the spooks

[Pyrofries]

this song is particular is pretty spooky... for some reason, it's the voice that counts that scares me the most. Whatever he says after he counts is garbled... I wish it was possible to hear what it actually says.

Geogaddi is definitely BoC's creepiest album. It was being written around the time of the 9/11 attack, and there's an interview with the duo that said that the events of 9/11 contributed to the creepiness.

The campfire headphase so far is my favorite album. It's just right :>

[absolutelywankered]

does it only say that backwards?

[DDRpwnerer]

It's a section of the song "Teddy Bear's Picnic" played backwards and intentionally made to sound evil.

[absolutelywankered]

so does the song Teddy Bear's Picnic actually say that?! :|

[DDRpwnerer]

The actual song "Teddy Bear's Picnic" is not evil at all, and in fact is much, much more lighthearted than this makes it sound. I recommend searching the song on Youtube, it's amusing. They just loop a part in a way that makes it sound creepy as shit.

[DynXante]

This is excellent.

[simozonelayer]

Cool. I thought I recognised a shot from Stalker - even more cool.

[voxon88]

You're right, there are actually several shots, the back of the head of the guide and a blurry one of the writer and scientist, and the very last one of the writer smoking. Good eye :)

[simozonelayer]

It was because I'd been chopping up footage from Stalker as part of an editing project called 'The Well' on my page with music from Radiohead.

[patt0x]

nice work. i wish you used a longer track to use more tarkovsky's images. but it's great anyway.

good work jimmy.

[Bigpineapple]

that was one freaky video :O

[yixiazi]

Like the use of zerkalo

[RemmyKid]

12345...67..8910..now in Spanish then in French then we'll say that twice again :)

[jakemandue]

play it backwards and it says "we know who you are"

[boardsofnorway]

Thought it was "We love you all":)

[taelue]

yup it does.

[swaydam]

Om perfection.

[Stev1ed]

Geogaddi is a class album!

[robotarm]

Nice work!

[Squarepusher817]

its not satanic at all, you artard. The songs audio-symmetric (theres a word for that I just can't remember what it's called). The track is simply defining Golden Ratio. Not to be confused with golden mean (philosophy).

The golden section is a line segment sectioned into two according to the golden ratio. The total length a+b is to the longer segment a as a is to the shorter segment B. The ratio is invertible.

[harpomarx42]

The words you mean are 'audio palindrome', I think.

I also think that Dandelion sounds better played backwards than forwards.

[theaddingmachine]

i agree :)

[jimmynmu]

Actually if you play it backwards it sounds like a song (that isn't even that much stranger than the forward version) on it's own, atleast to me.

[PsYcOHolic]

If you play this song backwards you'll here a satanic message.

[sokewl]

another great video you are awesome my friend

[Azul721]

am I going to die in the next week?

just kidding.

[aliar]

wow this one was really well done. the part where he said pay attention was perfect. i love how you stick with nature scenes like their music always tends to do. you have a talent for showing what you're thinking,

[endub909]

i liked it a bit
