@Bergen 79

That's George Page, not Leslie Nielsen. He was the show's creator and narrator.

[akselKH88]

I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you.

[bryanttillman]

YES, I knew it!!

[zagmazmatron]

this is great! it almost sounds as if it was recorded then reversed. can anyone confirm or disprove this?

[bryanttillman]

is that Leslie Nielsen I hear?

[userfriendly06]

HAHAHA, I've always thought that but I just figured the guy just sounds similar. Probably some really old documentary about active volcanoes.

[syncopated84]

@bryanttillman holy CRAP it DOES sound like Leslie Nielsen... i never put them 2 together!

[Bergen79]

@bryanttillman

Yes, it actually is Leslie Nielsen. He hosted some wildlife documentaries in Canada. This is also where the name "Boards of Canada" comes from, the National Film Board of Canada.

[carliboy908]

I can't help but think of the naked gun when i hear his voice..love BOC

[iamqqqqqqq]

I like this track fully backwards (i.e., vocal samples too) because the normally nice vocals, and strange music become nice music, and strange vocals :D

[nass1022]

This is absolutely true... I couldn't have put it better myself.

[knavish57]

the preparation for a dive is always a tense time!

[knavish57]

i love both versions.good job m.party

[alcohalls]

Very clever from you and interesting, thanks!

[anod1sed]

when you listen to the song normally, it sounds kind of like it has already been reversed, and this is how it was before they reversed it?

[MASSACREparty]

I reversed everything but the vocal parts and put it back together.

so yeah, this is how the music parts sounded before they reversed it.

[mangobongo]

@anod1sed

Yep

[CliveSinclairZX]

Wow, sounds very good.

[Notirez]

I actually prefer it like this :P

[Futil1ty]

You reversed a song composed of reversed loops. That's always fun.

(And of course it's going to end up shorter when you have to fix the fading between the actual song and the vocal samples!)

[MichiVarela]

I see no difference between te original one and yours [mmm]

[Deloreansyk]

That's crazy man. Gotta admit I like the real one better, but this is very fascinating! Almost as much as the story being told.

[pyramidheadthingy]

SOUNDS BETTER LIKE THIS.

[tjostkjzst]

agreed

[iate64crayons]

its reversed besides the speech of course.

[Cadavaris]

I don't believe that's reversed, maybe i should try it

[VladimirLemicah]

NICE!

[furasu]

thats quite nice though :3

[nkolosov]

it's very beauty

[herrington10]

Your a Twat!

[BMS1974]

how or why is he a twat?

[UBIQUEROL]

i have no idea but his puncuation is awful

[SlyVictim]

lol!

[muccy23]

That's grammar, not punctation.

[UBIQUEROL]

ah yes, i stand corrected

[MacraStraba]

This proves the actual song is actually backmasked. This versions rocks as much as the original one.

Could we have the whole thing backmasked, including the voice?

[DDRpwnerer]

I'm confused. Is this the original version from Geogaddi? The time is a bit off (The video is 9 seconds shorter than my recording of the track) so I'm unsure.

But it'd make sense... Though the dialog on the album version just repeats, while it varies on this version... *Confused*

Fucking Boards of Canada, always confusing me with their subliminals and harmonics.

[MacraStraba]

The one in the video is played backwards, with the exception of the spoken passages. The other one uploaded by Yawg81 (t27K_F8DQB4) is the original.
