Seeing as he was just hanging out with Autechre, maybe they told him something.

maybe posting BoC-ish tunes will help quell the sting of 10 years without a new album for y'all: there's tons of awesome music out there and some definitely falls into Boards-vibes, so here's a start:

My god what were they on when BoC made this track? It’s transcendental, I have a hard time believing this came of of the 90s. Ahead of its time. And the live version is almost better! This is the track that opened my mind and allowed me to “get” Boards of Canada. I love it so, so much. Drinking my morning coffee, reading The Economist, and giving MHTRTC a spin. Felt like this track deserves its own thread (couldn’t find one in search, anyways!) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, y’all. Cheers!

Probably one of my favorite if not my my favorite album of all time. Arguably Zoviet's best full length. When I first heard Boards, one of the first things it reminded me of was this album. I'm not sure how many people in here are familiar with it or Zoviet France in general, but if you are a BOC fan I'm sure that you will find something to appreciate here. Zoviet France captured sort of a lofi broken AM radio aesthetic that didn't really come into fashion until fairly recently. BOC was one of the only bands I felt that followed down the same path back when they started putting out music. Anyways, I'm sure there are many other musical linkages you could make to what pos…

Boards Of Canada - Magic Window (Remixed by Nordsun) has a music video now and it's trippy

Some years ago I made a remix of Magic Window by Boards Of Canada. It started as a joke but there was more to it. I noticed that this ambient “joke” had the power to calm my subconscious, even when it was highly aggressive. I made a full-length track out of it, named "Endless Love (Like Northern Horizon)" and put it on my debut album "tales of a beautiful life". Some days ago I flew from Munich to Dublin and was lucky to have a seat at a window. The view was heavenly and I thought it would fit quite well as visuals for Endless Love so I made a music video out of it. Click here to watch the video on YouTube. Tell me what you think. ❤️

We’re picking up good vibrations! Moz and and I compiled a playlist of artists mentioned by Boards of Canada in their interviews. Sorted by era. Many times these are artists they have been influenced by or really like. The song selection is based on three things: The song is chosen in correspondence to the interview era. Example: they first mentioned Autechre in the MHTRTC interviews era so we chose an Autechre song not older than 1998. We took into account the context of the interview quote about the mentioned artists. Example: sometimes they specifically mentioned the guitar play of an artist so we made sure to include a guitar…

In the other thread for "Sick Times". a guest says he/she hears a vocal sample at the time 1:46 saying "Thank you, kindly". Yeah i hear thank you being said but not the word.... Kindly! The other day i listened to this song and heard a female voice saying. at 2:59 saying stuff and can't make it out but wait..... At 3:10 she says "Hey, i'm gonna stay, so that. And i can't make out the rest. But listen she says i'm gonna stay. Why? because she can help? But she says... SO THAT? So that. To fight? or is it because shes telling someoone that shes gonna stay. Now go? and find out why everyone is sick from the pandemic? Folks on twoism said …

Hi there, I've been searching for the sample of the choir signing in this track for so long now. I've always wanted to learn the lyrics and to this day, I've never been able to find anything about it. The only clue I have is that it may sound like Hildegard von Bigen but once again, I'm not sure!

Hi there, I am looking for a remix of this track that was made in 2005. The remix starts off pretty straight forward but then this slow beat comes in - starting to really take the track to a new place. It came out around the same time as TCFH. I'm pretty sure it was made by someone who was on WATMM back at that time. There was a user on here call 'Skytree'. My memory keeps telling me he/she had something to do with it. Does anyone remember the track?

This album just came out a few weeks ago and it is one of the best things I’ve heard in ages. It’s definitely an ode to 90s era Warp and is HEAVILY influenced by boc. Check it.

Two musical masterminds Tony Allen (Fela Kuti's drummer and heavyweight in his own right) and Jeff Mills (of Underground Resistance and his own career, known in his radio days as The Wizard) collaborated on one incredible afrofuturist jam to end all jams. Doesn't sound like BoC's album but it kicks some serious ass.

File this under Minor Speculation i've been looking into vintage Orban gear (made for radio broadcasting) and i feel it's quite possible The Brothers took some graphic inspiration from this gear. maybe they even use it? the signature blue and whatever that font is are very BOC imo. just a thought.
