What do you people make of the percussion in this track? I must have listened to it 50 times and still can't really make sense of what is going on, normal drum kit sounds processed through analogue equipment? How is that "wet" elasticity part of the beat made and what is it really tied to? Sometimes while listening I get glimpses of something that makes a lot more sense but I can usually only hold onto that for a few seconds before it disappears.

This little filler is so fucking beautiful. I wonder if it actually is a full song buried deep in a BoC vault. Would love to hear it expanded on. https://youtu.be/5dOwYf5LNNo

I was really, really curious in doing this. The end result was absolutely awesome. Awesome if scary is your thing. I listened to this in my basement in complete darkness, going from the 24th Japanese bonus track in reverse to Ready Lets Go, and at some parts I seriously was terrified. Well maybe not _terrified_ but without a doubt I was getting really, really freaked out. Some songs are MEANT to be heard in reverse (Dandelion, Dawn Chorus, I Saw Drones, a bunch others) while some songs you really get creeped out by some of the stuff you hear when played in reverse.

Also mentioned in the vinyl reissues thread, but important enough to repeat here - BOC's 1996 classic on Skam Records, Hi Scores, is available again on vinyl, CD and digital download via Bleep.com: https://bleep.com/release/5213-boards-of-canada-hi-scores If you don't already own this release, it is a MUST HAVE for any BOC/classic electronic music fan.

Odd Nosdam uploaded all the instrumentals for the cLOUDDEAD LP 'Ten' onto YouTube, including the BoC Remix instrumental! Amazing how much was buried by the vocals! So far as I can tell this can only be found on YouTube for the time being, and who knows how long it'll stay up:

I've mentioned this before, and a certain Site Administrator indicated we should probably revisit the topic some time after TH has been released, so I think this is a fair time to re-introduce this idea: So far, the LPs have each had a distinct tone that could possibly be attributed to an element: MHTRTC - Air (sounds play out as if at a distance and melodies like dust motes) Geogaddi - Fire (reduced use of reverb, claustrophobic, dry tones, crackling sounds) TCH - Water (more polished production/wet or clean sound, juxtaposed with some sounds I would say seem "water-damaged", drums in Dayvan Cowboy sound like a rhythmic representation of waves) TH - Earth (I had kin…

I can never get enough of BoC's quality and original sound, but are there any other artists that are similar? I've been trying to find some and failed to discover what I was looking for.

20 years young. I remember discovering MHTRTC (and Boards of Canada) through a tiny album review in the NME of all places, the week before release back in April 1998. It described an album awash with pleasing melodies and nostalgic childhood sounds, like it had sampled dated old science/nature documentaries you might have watched at school. A few days later I was in town, and found myself in one of my favourite indie record shops at the time (Imperial Records RIP). They had the CD hooked up to the number 1 spot on the listening post (remember those?) which was their way of saying 'best record of the week'. I must have enjoyed it right away, as I still have my CD copy from…

The last few minutes of Happy Cycling (6:26 onwards) from Music Has The Right To Children... pure bliss, and perfect music for a cool fall day: MHTRTC is easily one of the best records of the 20th century.

A few (11) years ago, I created and posted a video for Pete Standing Alone that has become pretty popular, currently at over 300k views. It's already quite an honor to have my video be so popular and have it be a part (even a small part) of BOC content that people view online. But if that weren't enough, yesterday I received the following comment on the video: How cool to think that Pete Standing Alone himself might have a chance to view the video and have thoughts about it. Incredible. I hope he watches it and I wonder what he might think. Either way, I am honored.

Had an idea to do this ages ago, after listening to Nlogax and it making me think Freddie's acapella from Another One Bites The Dust would fit on top nicely... Finally got around to it a couple of weeks ago. The results were inconclusive. https://soundcloud.com/ravedamage/another-boc-bites-the-dust
