Boards of Canada - Forest Moon

[mkeene78]

Soooooo glad I stumbled upon this tonight. It puts me in a good place. 

[SeanStephensen]

where's this filmed?

[LMG2OD]

BoC music is so dark! yet it's nice. #mindfucked

[TheTramsen]

@LMG2OD dark? I find it mind-altering and glaring

[befutureproof]

Album: A Few Old Tunes (A Side)

[jdoggybizzle]

I think of my best friend Kathy when I hear this.

[FoldedTapestry]

@jdoggybizzle Thanks for being so specific! We all feel much better knowing that.

[MegaThecolonel]

WTF is Mobako talking abput Europe is beautiful

[mobako]

@MegaThecolonel It sure is.

[RiddenPony]

Anyone let me know what EP or LP this was released on, please? Many thanks

[21stcenturyphantom]

This is one of my favourite Boards of Canada tracks, and it makes me feel better as I sit here ill with flu, wrapped up in about 5 layers of clothing with the heating on.

[TAYLOR13961]

SHIT Video

[TrapazoidSwinger]

sick song!

[crossvizannuff]

PO po po poker face!!

[beukersblixem]

I`m sure when you grow old and you look again at this video you will think: "Oh, those were happy and lovely times..."

Nice blend of music and video.

[DarkCloud372]

0_0 as i watched you smoke in this video i suddenly smelled skunk...

[soberson08]

It kinda sucks after 6:38... they REALLY could have done better at that part.

[totopatter]

@soberson08

I agree

[HerrFOAD]

great song

my older brother loves this allways hassling me to put it on n im 43:)

[HerrFOAD]

great song

my older brother loves this allways hassling me to put it on :)

[S1W2E3D]

nothing matters...im getting enlightened by boards of canada..

[6thr6ash6]

good music

[emzie66]

lovely, some of the melody from 1:55 onwards sounds similar to the track " Papua New Guinea."

[mobako]

@izz3vibt rofl yeah, it's called "Windows Movie Maker"

[strawhattedman]

I just love this piece of music. BoC are as close to God as I need to get.

[UniqueWeekend]

Nice music choice and the atmosphere . Your havin best high moments in young days!

[matticusmusic]

ENDOR :p

[Darktree512]

Drugs are not low class. And BOC were influenced by psychedelics. Check out some of their interviews. :P

[helloofiree]

@Darktree512 do you know where i can find any interviews of them?

[Darktree512]

@helloofiree I can't post links in comments, but go to BOCpages . org and check out the "interviews" section

[roybatty100]

Brilliant,beautiful ,thank you.

[zekethenikoslover]

"I love it how this great none violent, none rebellious sounding kind of music that never once in 6 hole years reminded me of anything low class once ever before, was some how now liked by allot of people who do drugs" : P

[MrGreenerpastures1]

@zekethenikoslover no music is low-class, but, sadly pop music doesnt raise your consciousness like good music does...many people arent ready to listen to melodic, instrumental beats...man has ingested drugs for thousands of years, but the public has developed a bad relationship with them because they dont experience them open-mindedly, they believe the 60-second news snippet they watch...parents must start being honest with their kids about things they ingest...throw out the pills, life is here

[shoopdawoop3]

favorite thing to do in summer go in woods take drugs and listen to boards of canada

[AHK909]

wll there ever be a new album?

[Apathesis0]

God, I love the oomph that snare has. I was sold on this song the second I heard. Drum junky.

[protobuster]

a good album from boards of canada????

[Apathesis0]

@protobuster Geogaddi.

[nolometangere]

4:46 I want that feeling

[GypsyRaczm]

since i wasnt doing pot for over 2 months now, for I got caught by my parents doing it with friends, out in the nature, they were already suspicous and came looking for me, and my mom was completely freaked out, and she is regularly taking me to drug tests, I really wish i could do pot once... you are a lucky person... have you ever been caught yet?

[Adolfmacaque]

this song reminds me of summer a bit too much.

[666livevil666]

It's Wonderfull. I take this track at 5 years and it's so beautifull time to time! Wonderfull human baby;* Respect

[oOAURORAOo1]

The back of my neck, that's where this songs hits man. Absolutely right on!!!

[lpg8888]

was that a joint you were smokin?

[mobako]

@lpg8888 what do you think? :)

[timmytimmyo]

@mobako very naughty

[w8amingirl]

Gives me goosebumps!

[Shrunkenhead61]

Can you see why the Una-bomber was pissed? Think of all this beautiful landscape destroyed by authority to build a few homes and a golf course. I don't condone his actions but relate to the frustration. I think human progress can be accomplished in a more naturalistic way. We can still have technology but why not also live in the landscapes we destroy? I don't have any answers. I like the Internet but I don't know how I can make it come without the territory. One man: one dream.

[ArUlric7]

@Shrunkenhead61 exactly what is wrong with the world, if you sit in a plane, what do you see? glorious elevations in the landscape creating shadows and meadows, a vast forest as if it were tiny little fibber-veins in a lung, and an ocean that changes shade of blue every time you lay eyes on it....but what is this? a big grey blob of geometric shapes, smoking and pulsing, growing.... devouring everything in its path

sounds like a cancer doesn't it? :P

[Shrunkenhead61]

@ArUlric7 Haha! Have you listened to Joe Rogan? I assume you have being as this sounds much like his explanation. Keep human, ArUlric7. That's all I ask of you. Even if technology is neutral, it isn't bringing anything helpful. Why have it? I think it is creating newer and more complexities. Da Vinci was the last renaissance man as we drift into a disparity between those who know and those who don't. It's the dark age of emotion and human... intellect has surpassed feeling.

[ArUlric7]

@Shrunkenhead61 yeah watched some of his stuff, in particular that part i just quoted :P but hey, its all a mater of opinion right? for one i don't think intellect can surpass feeling, because they are 2 completely different things, now they can enhance one another, they can cancel out one another, but that's about how far as it goes in my opinion.

anyway, i don't exactly what you're saying with keep human, that's all i ask you :P could you clarify that a little please? other then that, thnx :)

[Shrunkenhead61]

@ArUlric7 If they are separate, can enhance or cancel; what makes you sure one can't surpass? That's the only one you left out of possibilities. When I say keep human... don't distance yourself from nature. I am saying be who you want to be not what someone tells you. You decide what's good or bad. The subconscious is "programmed" (habitual) to believe authority figures or references more than thinking for yourself. Emotions are organic. Facts and knowledge can be messed with (intellect).

[ArUlric7]

@Shrunkenhead61 i didn't leave it out, i said it wasn't possible in my opinion.

but how did you conclude i distance myself from nature and follow the ideas of others?

but personally i think nobody has the right to call anything good or bad, because it's all the same, law of attraction.

but i have to agree 100% on the last part, (emotions are organic and facts can be messed with)

i'm not stating my personal beliefs a facts, i simply don't agree with your theories, that is all.

[Shrunkenhead61]

@ArUlric7 OK

I don't.

OK.

[monta0076]

It's very nice !

I want to go to forrest and feel wind ,anyway.

[hupo]

lets hang out

[VideoKiwi2008]

i hope that BOC come out with new stuff soon. theres been alot of talk about it. apparently this year sometime they are bringing out a new album, if not next year. bring it on!!

[strawhattedman]

This is just wonderful...

[kwasior777]

biutiful lsd trip i had rly the same

[TheMushroomsAreHere]

my trip was so intense!.....i'm stil HIGH ;)wjffa0e1

[Giaculatorie]

Magic track

[charmandarstudios]

do u live in BC or Washington? cuz i live in BC

[mobako]

@charmandarstudios Nowhere close. I reside in, (and this video was shot in) Northwestern Missouri. Missouri is pretty boring unless you know where to look ;) No one around here even knows about this secret spot. Truly is a beautiful place out in the country.

[Lienaked]

@mobako oh my god... what a beautiful place, here in euorpe just a few spots uncontaminated by civilty exist... i really wish i could travel around the states and see these beautiful places

[elKalbassan]

@Lienaked

-.- I'm sorry, that's just not true, europe has plenty of places "uncontaminated by civilization".

[mobako]

@Lienaked ahh... the grass is always greener on the other side it seems... most people i know would say they'd kill to go to europe and get the hell out of "misery" (missouri) or the United States in general... there are always beautiful places like this around the world, you just have to look. but, when the beautiful place is also a greatly kept secret, untouched by the oblivious masses, well, that's the shit BoC videos are made of ;)

[foilseal]

@mobako you are an idiot

[mobako]

@foilseal How do you figure?

[WhiteSugarFive]

@charmandarstudios BC doesn't really look like this. What made you just assume either place?

[Glitch487]

Hey.... I just met you in diablo ... this is a good vid man...

[VideoKiwi2008]

BOC make music like no other. They are unique. There will never be another like them.

[sirfenrir]

This is not a BoC song. Check the official discography.

[FDFlashDeck]

@sirfenrir It's from their unreleased catalogue.

[chameleoned]

Killer track and a great video. It's exactly what the music is all about. Yeah, I've been there too...

[uxualter]

precious precious!

[jmetalkittie]

Thanks for your impression of music. Looks great. Doesn't look pretencious or cheesy. Thumbs up Mobako.

Jennifer

[slugdub101]

Vid works well and WHAT A FUCKING TUNE!!

[chameleoned]

Great Video, it's exactly what the song is about. Reminds me of my younger days

[savlover8]

interesting

[BilliamSA]

I like what you did with this. I feel that I can understand why you included the shots you did and why you wanted to color them with this piece of music. You did a good job here and I wish I could have been with you guys,

[Olinolan190]

My friends just got me into this band.... I like this song, i really do :P

[Olinolan190]

My friends just got me into this.... I like it, i really do :-)

[DayvanCowboy88]

So beautiful :)

[VideoKiwi2008]

this song deserves far more than 39,000+ views it has so far

[Thelightingeffects]

never heard this one before, great tune which album is it from? im guessing music has the right to children, but i could be geogaddi? help anyone?

[BillNepill]

@Thelightingeffects it's a track from their unofficial "A Few old tunes"

[Thelightingeffects]

@BillNepill oh! that one thanks ill download it.

[Lutchenka1]

É uma sorte para o país e para o resto do mundo que os governantes se importem com as suas florestas!

[VideoKiwi2008]

this song is so surreal and magic

[hobhouse1]

outstanding

[hobhouse1]

Stunning song and video

[kovan606]

Great music and video ! I know that BOC are big users of analogue synths , but can anybody else hear strong use of a Roland D50 all over this track ?

[stiggyh]

which of all of their tracks do you BOC fans think has the most seventies feel to it ? :))) thanks

[Thelightingeffects]

@stiggyh in the annexe or roygbiv

[stiggyh]

@Thelightingeffects  thanx ;)

[cincontrol21]

I love BOC.

[stevensteven327]

this song is a journey, truly

[aputisx]

most breathtaking track from BoC..

[Hologhoul]

It's typical BoC - i.e. full of mystery and atmoshphere, and just an absolutely sublime piece of music!

[MIKEDURSTEWITZ]

@Hologhoul "typical" BoC? THERE IS NO SUCH THING!

[SteelRocker]

@MIKEDURSTEWITZ He said the fact that its mysterious is what makes it "typical" BoC. Sounds like a paradox or an oxymoron, but he's right.

[Apathesis0]

@Hologhoul This songs reminds me of the Twin Peaks at times, specifically some of the chords used. You should check it out. David Lynch loves mystery and atmosphere. I am surprised he never used BoC in his movies.

[Hologhoul]

@Apathesis0 Nice one - I'll check that out..

[birthnight]

one BoC song that is nearest and dearest to my heart. this is how I feel on shrooms

[sebroybro]

Great video man, you captured that experience.

[88Cortex]

Ingenious..

[wombattim]

This song has Oomph.

[TEKM0SIS]

you are strange

[hisquiskw666]

You are cool.

[TEKM0SIS]

thank you

[bundemnugs]

amaing relaxing and euphoric, overall an amazing song!

[TheBMW320cabrio]

[zaphid]

Great stuff!

[rdchase1]

What BoC album is this from? Please and thank you.

[xeemo]

looks like a nice place

[rhodes1986]

Ulrich Shnauss has made songs that sound fairly similar to this. I can see they were an inspiration to him.

[Madskull2]

Ulrich Schnauss plays in Dublin in October. I cant wait.

[SlRDancealot]

You know what really sucks though?

People that can't accept that there are other tastes.

People like you.

[mobako]

I think he was tellin' off that Andronick dingleberry, actually.

[SlRDancealot]

I did too, but he replied to the comment first, and since it can't be shown (due to thumbs down), it looks like I'm replying to his comment, since it's above mine, heh.

[ris3andfall]

yeah, i consider people who's like that as mimics, that just they stay in box.... that don't try 2 open there minds, very shallow, if u ask me

[FatherHeathen]

You have no taste.

[mrpancake41]

were did you film all those beautiful forest .

[ildisturbato]

everyday i listen this track in my car....

[chucky78596]

In what cd album is this track on?

[ildisturbato]

[1996] A Few Old Tunes... near Spectrum, other classic!!!

[electrocub]

what a great track ..

[sasquatch888]

how can i get this track?

[SteelRocker]

i found it on ares

[KamikazeJonez]

It's hard to find. The only legit version I know of is from ITunes. Anyone else know where to find it?

[SonicYouth808]

why dont you just get the legit version then?Its only 99c

[TEKM0SIS]

rapidshare has all legit pre-twoism BoC.

Send me a message if you want a link.

[Givemeapotion]

Hey TEKMOSIS..... can you send me a link that you're talking about for BoC

Thanks

[TEKM0SIS]

Message Me

[SteelRocker]

this is my new favorite song

[LarissaLIBERTY]

cant stop watching..its great

[SharksKid]

Good video..it actually looks like something they'd come up with.

[umanox23]

strangely hypnotic...  look for synchro mysticism

[counttedula]

Impressed with how well the footage of this goes with the music, very well realized, beautiful geography looks like mid west USA, were was this filmed?

Great with the music too!

[mondopark]

Good video, could've done better without scenes of you guys in the shot.

[mobako]

go to hell :P

[gilmonteverdemusic]

haha, yeah, if they were hot girls, no problem, but they are boys -.-

[cliffgreene]

This is beautiful, I love their older stuff. But, I have favorite that span their whole career thus far:Sequoia, ROYGBIV, Zoetrope, Diving Station, You Could Feel the Sky, Happy Cycling, Everything You do is a Balloon, Oirectine.

[redgroun]

love this music , Im into aphex twin and Boards of Canada are awesome too

[fredjhenzel]

great job!

[ahirsch3]

this is a video about boards of canada going to another planet and playing a video game about boards of canada going to another planet and playing a video game... isn't it?

[mobako]

No.

[UnitedDiscord]

@mobako I don't understand what you guys are talking about but yeah!

[blackeststar12]

HAHAHA!!!nice

[smithfield06]

love boc where can i get this song?

[DDRpwnerer]

Torrents, probably. The release this was included on is not distributed and you won't find a legitimate copy anywhere, not even eBay.

[joellyshooshoo]

a beautiful song and video... and boys (if i may say so :D)

[narki86]

Are you daft? Hi Scores is fucking awesome, TCH is also good but a bit bland, too accessible for my taste, I recommend A Few Old Tunes, Old Tunes Volume 1 and 2 as well as Geogaddi for the true spirit of Boards Of Canada.

[dsmite]

listen to him its true Old Tunes 1 & 2 are fuckin awesome as well as A Few old Tunes. I cannot fucking wait for a new Boards album its past due if you ask me.

[mattnemski]

Looks just like parts of North West England, similar landscape.

[henkiis]

I searched for canada, then i found this, nice music. :) But in which country have you filmed this?

[mobako]

Country? America. Northwest Missouri to be exact.

[thejerseydude]

Beautiful area of the nation. reminds me of Southern Illinois.

[ofdarknessandlight]

by the way if you haven't already, go out and find more of these guys, you're both missing out and insane if you haven't gone searching!! your life might change, (seriously..)

[henkiis]

Well as I said, I really like this song. I have tried some others, but found them not good. Techno stuff... (hi-scores, music has the right to...) not my kind of stuff. Do they have more tracks like this one?

[ofdarknessandlight]

oh dear god, please never call them techno again. hi scores isn't particularly interesting.. they have a load of stuff. but haven't you hears roygbiv and aquarius? they're not even what you think of as techno, they're somethign quite beautiful. check out the campfire headphase, it's made up of very nice sounds.samples and strangeness don't happen at all. dayvan cowboy, peacock tail, chromakey dreamcoat, julie and candy...they're all so much better, you need to hear those before forgetting them!

[Tettoke11]

Nice

[mobako]

Thanks

[bluelight32]

One of my fav BoC tunes.

[dsmite]

A few old tunes unreleased album you can only download it.. also dont get it confused with Old Tunes.
