Boards of Canada - Roygbiv REVERSED.

[MisterAlexUk]

I can't help but look at the guy in the album cover and think of Mr. Reynholm from the IT Crowd.

[mrfishbooty]

Brilliant... Nice touch

[JordanGTheGee]

Hella dope

[apx90]

sounds better backwards

[oaknairb]

Hearing the "yeah" properly is cool

[Davedz91]

@oaknairb yeah

[toGatherThinskin]

it works perfectly!

[shadowoble101]

I just fell asleep to this for like an hour, and i mean that in a good way haha

[TimeForBold]

@shadowoble101 I LOVE falling asleep to Boards! Such organic music...

[angrygrunt]

now i know what the kid's saying. thanks.

[hardcorelifeforus000]

1:45-1:49 omg yes!

[Frostbitexl22]

roygbiv vibgyor sober-high

[GothicPancakes]

yeah.

[BlankPerceptions]

I love how the reversed just goes right into the normal.

[nileakanile]

play the original at the same time

[Aquasiel]

@nileakanile tinyurl ( . ) com/roygbivvibgyor

also, after the original forwards/backwards song, the original is played on top of itself with a few-second-delay. it's pretty ear-trippy

rest assured i'm not a spambot, youtube just doesn't allow proper url's in the comments

[greenma201]

@Aquasiel EPIC

[Aquasiel]

@greenma201 thanks

[hardcorelifeforus000]

I like how forward, the song sounds all responsible like, and business. and backwards.. sounds all childish and innocent..

[genericusername337]

I like the original better too, by a little bit

[matticusmusic]

its good but nothing beats the original.

[susbug]

I mean, it still sounds cool, but it no longer has much in the way of melody or phrasing. neat gimmick but certainly not "as good as the original"

[BeansOnGhost]

Too much fap fap for my liking,i'll keep to the original ;')

[malkavianantitribu]

@BeansOnGhost stop kidding us, everybody knows that you love the fap.

[MrXBoG]

@malkavianantitribu Ok i own up! I love the fap fap heheheheheheh ;'D

[985737]

Red orange yellow green blue indigo violet

[JohnWoosKid]

i must have the pink picture can the poster or someone send me a link to it

[DDRpwnerer]

@JohnWoosKid find a high resolution scan of the "Music Has the Right to Children" album art and invert the hue. That's all I did.

[MrSnapply]

@DDRpwnerer lol how do i do this

[mxfreak41]

@JohnWoosKid SHIFT-APPLE-4

[pyromohanzed]

@JohnWoosKid u can do it with paint

[RomanticsInc]

This is amazingly great sounding!!!

[triadpairs]

sounds a lot happier ;) but you might as well stab your eardrums out right now if you think this sounds better than the original.

[triadpairs]

sounds a lot happier ;)

[PSXDooMERR]

yeea!

[PersianButtons]

Don't you just love the reverse feature in recording software? Its hours of fun!

My spiiiiiiiiine.

[ramafia09]

@randyj420 omfg. i dont know if thats 6 or 9 thumbs up!!!!

[exedeath]

Many songs sounds good (or almost good) backwards. This song is just one more.

[ezekieloak]

Reminds me of a melody of Gustav Holst.

[ivangrebe]

[abir321]

wait the past is in the present?

thats not possible nooooooooooooooooooo........

[abir321]

fuck thank you for plus oneing that i was scared nobody else understodd

[ildisturbato]

the same original magic sound in reverse...

boj doog... ops, good job! XD

[ctsamurai]

Very cool, thanks for uploading this. The baseline sounds pretty similar forward and backward.

[lillocoroco]

i thought they were saying fame.... whoops

[intertubers]

i thought they were saying 'lame'

[achooothanks]

yeh

[danderegil]

Sweet!

[pwil30]

This is awesome, thx for the upload!

Interesting how the repeating "hey!" in the original comes across as "yeah" backwards...don't think that happened by accident. Man these guys are brilliant.

[Neekstarrr]

actually it WAS by accident. *facepalm*

[Mushtaco]

.. eh roygbiv is like my favorite song..

i think the original is better

[MagnitudePerson]

Hahaha, sounds weired but still cool.

[TheseAreMyHooves]

haha, rape, brilliant xD

[mjomark]

I am skeptical.... but still. Nice of you to post it.

[o00JONESY00o]

huh, never new they said late. i thought they were saying rape. haha. oh my mind is fucked up

[em23]

awesome!

[frankp7400]

Haha the "late" now sounds "yeah!" Cool ^ _ ^

[Bolenderable]

What program do you use to play music backwards?

[davidokiwido]

where can i download this in high mp3 quality(320) , or how can record this track reversed as well pleaaase?

cheers!

:-)

[drodenbar]

try using a free program called audacity, it has a reverse function. you just import the mp3 into it then you click the reverse button

[opus400]

if it weren't for the drums, I'd like this more than the original

[sammyspacecase]

this sounds as awesome to me as it does to you. i might actually enjoy it more believe it or not

[nndsmc]

"yeah"

[kaoskastle]

Gah, why does playing something in reverse automatically make it SUPER awesome?!

[ErnstigeErnst]

i dont get it either

[eytim]

@kaoskastle BOC's Geogaddi album does have secret messages when played backwards but i dont know about this album

[pyromohanzed]

Because you have heard it forward once, and backward becomes part of the same information, so they combine awesomeness.

[papadonprich]

No tiene mas que la simple curiosidad de oirla al reves

[Dopecoil]

wtf this amazing :D

[shatterbelt]

very cool!

[iTailsTheStunter]

It actually sounds cooler backwards

[DDRpwnerer]

Yeah, I think this'd be completely suitable if they just reversed the drums and released the original track backwards. Playing it this way seems a lot more curious and benevolent, while forwards it sounds positive and optimistic but doesn't really portray the whole sense of childhood naivety that this does. Haha.

Might have to work out a remix sometime :)

[iTailsTheStunter]

I made one :D

[Tirran]

I hope you do; the reversed version does have a unique feel to it and unlike so much other reversed music actually makes musical sense!

[pyromohanzed]

both are good

[theonelinerkid]

@DDRpwnerer

i think they knew this and i think it was made to be playable both forwards and backwards either way you cant lose

[WhatTheShittles]

lol fun to see the different theories on what that repeated word is.. I thought it was: late, wait, way, yay or hey

[TEKM0SIS]

It sounded like "Late" to me.

[shone1178]

I always thought it was "play"

[srgpnt]

I always thought someone was saying "eight" or "hate"...LOL

[Nozium819]

Amazing.

[boxant]

!gnitseretni yreV

[NWforager]

always thought the Kid was saying "you ready?" or "ready?" . trippy how is just a baby jay-z's "yeah!" =D

[krunelune]

If you have a listen to the old version of this track called "Numerator Original" from the album Closes vol.1

Its a dude there thats sampled saying "Yeah". This is now pitched and set backwards.

[DDRpwnerer]

Every track from Closes, Vol. 1 is a fake. I've been told it was a remix but little or no insight has been provided on it at this point.

[sithlord999]

Yeah. The Numerator Original fake going around was a remix that I believe was posted on WATMM a long time ago.

[igotchillz]

this sound's wicked. cheer's ;]

[ilikelime]

If u feel like it.. i reckon "4" by "aphex twin" would be pretty interesting. see how that sounds reversed =D

[DDRpwnerer]

I already posted it, it's one of my most viewed! Check out my channel. :)

[esselfortium]

FYI, the Boc Maxima version is identical to the Music Has The Right version, though the pitch might be ever so slightly off due to the Maxima leak being from a cassette tape.

[tomshoot]

Unblvble fx !

[wugza]

Wow, this sounds incredible reversed.

Roygbiv is one of their best tracks it's brilliant. Hearing it reversed just adds to its greatness and it sounds just as good and beautiful as the regular version.

Boards of Canada are just on a different level than some artists. Their way of constructing and and creating music and sounds is just mind-blowing. They are honestly geniuses in their craft.

Keep up the great work man. Keep posting these reversed tracks, they're great.

[BrotherBearAZ]

I love you.

[moorbride]

truly amazing... the melody is nice this way, too :) and even the "yeah" makes sense...

i love the boards of canada, but since i discovered these reversed tracks here, i am absolutely astounded... seems they might have expected people playing their tracks the other way round.

thank you for taking the trouble to reverse and post all these unbelievable tracks... and thus showing another aspect of their genius

this is my fav next to the "skyliner"

[jobe129]

it sounds like the vocal sample was saying 'yeah' and they reversed it for the original. thanks for posting!

[ksiRoden]

Have you listened to 'A is to B as B is to C' backwards?  It's rather chilling. =)

[brooksbeats]

You cannot compare this to the original. The original is better, you cant just take a boards song, reverse it, and say "holy shit man this is way better!"

[DDRpwnerer]

You also can't be a prick and say that this is pointless because Boards of Canada's use of backmasking, or at least reversed sampling, is a key element to their work.

[todaynoweverything]

I like it so much i'm hoping my friend will make me a mp3 of it in 320 kbps

[rheem654]

and no one claimed it to be better or worse than the original. a different musical experience altogether was created with the reversal

[todaynoweverything]

I like it VIBGYOR

The InReverse version is really nice

[stiggyh]

SOUNDS LIKE music from a ufo

[SteelRocker]

thats fuckin cool

[adrienm]

this is awesome!!!! way catchier ;)

[Crabbe262]

it doesnt exactly flow aswell backwards but still good :)

[idavid24]

cool posts

[DDRpwnerer]

/watch?v=VDHCJqIqy4U

I actually did post it! :O

[SakaWannabe]

If you listen to the original version of this song (Before it was polished up for Music has the Right and Boc Maxima) It is actually an old guy saying "Yeah". Reversed is "hey" ofcourse.

[krackhead80s]

bigmatty yours actually makes alot more sence and is probably correct...i always herd it as "lame" though and still do

[bigmatty04]

krackhead80s i dissagree with the kid sample. he says hey. thus reversed is yeh

[theshiggarfraggar]

this is amazing! thank you for the discovery!

[totopatter]

OMG.. I love the emotional effect on this one.. lol thanx for reversing it!

[krackhead80s]

the kid sample now says "yeah" instead of "lame"

[KuyaPedro]

Backwards or forwards, this song is win.

[sm0jphace]

why?

[DDRpwnerer]

Uh, because it sounds cool.

[sm0jphace]

listen to beck boards of canada remix - that sounds cooler

[sm0jphace]

reversed that is

[DDRpwnerer]

I'll do it sometime, but I don't have the version of the CD with that remix on it at this point.

[DDRpwnerer]

Uhm. I have Broken Drum now. I just got the version of Guero that actually had the song. Want me to do one of these videos of it?

[sm0jphace]

have you given it a listen? its pretty neat

[DDRpwnerer]

Yeah. I don't like the remix as much as the "Last Walk Around Mirror Lake" they did, but it's still damn good.

[qbic2]

I think this reversed version is almost as good as the "forward" one!

[DDRpwnerer]

As do I. :D

[BMS1974]

sounding really good, nice work, keep it up. How about some reversed afx, say 4, flim, on or to cure a weakling child contour regard remix. Again, thanks for the excellent post my friend.

[DDRpwnerer]

I can do those. Give me time as I am doing homeschool at the moment, but I'll totally get those up. I think I'll do Laughable Butane Bob from his Hangable Auto Bulb release, too. Sound good?

[DDRpwnerer]

K, I've got all of those and about 10 more that I'm going to convert later on. Check around later in the day. :)
