It sounds like the merry harp of an angel, strumming the jollity of a thousand ecstacies into a single tune. P.S. it is probably the merry synthesiser of an angel, not a harp - just harp sounds cooler.
@alphazero125mg Ya still gotta give credit to those that paved the "Electronic Road": Kraftwerk, The Art of Noise, Herbie Hancock & even to some degree Devo - Yeah, I said it "Devo"
First heard this on channel 4 alternative music compilation program that went out in the late 90's early 2000's, broadcast late at night, such a haunting piece of music and i have now found who did it :-)
I used to listen to nothing but boards of canada, zero 7, and massive attack when i first started smoking pot with some chick i was infatuated with. Takes me back. *sigh
my god thats beautiful. i remember listening to this with my friend when we started smoking pot haha. oh god we had good times. and this music video is so perfect for it, thanks for that.
ATTN BOARDS OF CANADA FANS IN LONDON! BOC hasn't toured in London for years and I know you guys are thirsty for some new beautiful tunes. Tycho is an electronic music artist based in the states - many say that his tracks have a big Boards of Canada influence. His first London gig is this Wednesday 14 December at XOYO. They need 40 more fans to commit for the show to happen! Google "Tycho"!
How can anyone think of Skrillex after hear BOC? are you insane or deaf? Boards of Canada is one of the greatest IDM producers (along Autchre), Radiohead "become experimental" walking over BOC's footsteps. Skrillex is just a poser, and dubstep another hype not the begining of electro
This is refreshing and nostalgic at the same time. While listening, I had a strange feeling that I'd been looking for this song. I can't explain it, because I'm not even high.
my bro said "roygbiv suck no one listens to it ". Next night i caught him watching this video i believe he was the 100 000 001th viewer i thanked him afterwards
One thing about BOC, they knew how to pick interesting bygone sounding textures. Even if the drum machinery was (sort of) lazy and metronomic, they rose above their imitations and produced something aurally incredible in a beautiful place out in the country.
P.S.
Dubstep is some sort of tight-jeaned, over-compressed, suburbian, redneck electronica populated by post pop-n-lock dancoids. Other than trollery, it's no no reason to purposely confuse it with BOC....snooze.
I remember when this song had under 100,000 views ;( Don't get me wrong. I love seeing other people getting to hear this song, but at the same time I kind of want to keep it to myself because it's so amazing
nice movie , and nice music and atmosphere, to listen to some more great music you can check my channel and be amazed by some sonic magic that will enchant you like you got a spell upon you.
Music is like food. There is some music out there that is really just ear candy. Like fast food hamburgers, that music will satisfy you temporarily but leave little desire for more once over. Then there is music like this, which is comparable to gourmet cuisine -- a palette of different flavours arranged in such a way that, upon tasting, brings something unique to all of your senses. And once finished you are left wanting more, because you know you will experience something new each time. <3
oh my god, what stupidity has overcome everyone to think that this is dubstep? that's like listening to mozart and saying "oh, i loved the soundtrack to twilight!"
You people are fucking stupid, this is not Dubstep, never will be. It'd be smart if you read up on what you're talking about first, at the very least, if you're just too plain retarded to understand.
I just can't express in words how much I love such surreal videos! don't know why, but to me, this represents the darkness within the lives of humanity throughout history. Kind of like black and white science fiction movies.
@WowEvanwoW actually i'd say it was trip hop, or down tempo, or whatever you wanna call it, but it aint dubstep - this came about years before dubstep was born.
hey fellow BoC fans. If you want to, it'd be great if you check out my video review of Music has the Right to Children. I included it in my "perfect albums"series. Where I talk about the few rare albums released during my lifetime that I think are perfect 10/10. Please watch and comment to add more about what made this album great
Does everyone agree that Music Has The Right To Children is one of the best albums ever made?
BlackStarKeepShining 3 days ago
This song is absolutely beautiful.
It will forever always remind me of commercials from my childhood.
Boards of Canada is a truly amazing band and I genuinely hope that this music carries in for centuries. This is true beauty.
