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!

Anyone remember this that floated up among the fakes just before TH arrived? I used to know the artist responsible for this. I'm pretty sure he was Italian. He also wrote another track called 'Snowy Night' or something. I tried Shazam and other usual suspects.

"the devil is in the details "Just relax, and enjoy this pleasant adventure. Here you are, secure and protected, in this, your special place, letting my voice flow into your mind.

Please excuse my naiveté, the question is genuine: At what point did BoC transform from being simply one of the Warp Big Three to obsessed over love child of the great unwashed? A brief history, from my perspective: BoC release MHTRTC in 1998 and I hear the band for the first time. Great stuff, I approve and buy anything from them that I can. (stuff) BoC release TCH. I personally think it their best work to date but most of the rest of the BoC knowledgeable world seems to disagree. 2010-2012ish, my brother mentions a friend of his listens to BoC, (first indication I have BoC have crossed into the wider consciousness of the world) …

Remember when Mike was going to sell off one of the old boc tapes and some peeps got all flustered about it, and Mike ended up posting a video of him smashing it with a hammer. I loved that.

Back in 2000 Worm Interface (Ambient Soho’s label) released a compilation - Electric Chicken Volume One. There’s a track on that comp by an artist called Hexagon Sun. Is that just a coincidence or is there a connection? https://www.discogs.com/Various-Electric-Chicken-Volume-One/release/1395 Man I miss record shopping at Ambient Soho, happy days.

Probably some kind of retrospective on TH in light of the current climate but bit weird for them to be mentioned on the front cover just for that...

Turns 25 sometime this year, doesn't it? For whatever reason, I decided to give it another listen on my evening walk today, and I had a real moment. Like porno dude in Sixtyniner. When the name Twoism comes up here it's more often in reference to the eponymous forum than to the EP itself (or mini-album, or whatever it is). Could it be that this one is a little underrated? It's an incredible record and I'll love it forever. That is all.

Does anyone have that track from around 2005/2006? Back when that whole Red Moon trip/hype started. I know it 's a fake but it was a very lovely piece of music. Some kids and fireworks come in at the end. I used to have it on disk but can't find it.

Lovely track, one of my faves on the album. It takes a little while to grow on you, it reminds me a bit of one of their remixes. I think it's also one of the more emotionally complex tracks on the album. Funky, swinging, melancholy, hopeful. As with the other tracks, it cuts off too quickly and descends into noodle-ville...

Hi guys. I was just wondering if this film is worth obtaining on DVD. I believe a couple of audio samples from it were used on Geogaddi, so it has the BOC seal of approval I guess. Is it actually any good? It seems to be a b-movie albeit directed by George Romero so it may be of some reasonable quality. Am I right in thinking it contains some fucked-up dream sequences shot in the desert or in the woods or something? I appreciate your information!

Not to make myself the most hated man on the internets and bring up another BoC topic, but I finally got my copy of The Campfire Headphase (japanese edition)...going to listen for the first time. I've heard nothing of this at all....so it will be something very new.

something like this: or in various reviews, like the boomkat review of the tch ep, or the pitchfork review of iabpoitc, you'll find passages like "if you'd perfected this sonic playground, you'd want to stay here forever too" so, okay: in the shift from geogaddi to tch, for example, i must ask, how much more can a band change their sound, while still remaining the same band? i mean, ffs, BoC changed GENRES when they went from geogaddi to tch, from electronic music to wyrd folk. i struggle to think of two songs that are more different than "dayvan cowboy" and "devil in the details" (or for that matter, "devil in the details" and "roygbi…

This is Boards of Canada's most thematically serious album. Let's start with the title: Tomorrow's Harvest. I think it's asking us the question, "What sort of harvest will the seeds that humanity plants bring?" To put it in simpler terms, what are the consequences of our actions on a grand scale? We all know that the album uses a Cold War aesthetic, but I think this is only one application of this question. I think New Seeds is extremely symbolic of these theme. It is hopeful, but cautiously so. It makes us think of potential, of possibility, but it has a hint of mournfulness towards the end, like a fear of the inevitable decline of humanity. The last song on the albu…
