    I first listened to BOC on a drive back home to SW Ontario two days after taking acid with a group of strangers in Thunder Bay, summer 2020. Campfire Headphase was the soundtrack to my newfound reality as my mind realigned itself into something it had never been before, going 90 down the Trans Can 11 along roads lined by mountain mist and ancient evergreens. I realized then that the world is full of magic and we are lucky to be alive within it. It was the greatest return of my life - so far.

    These are bringing back memories of 2005-2009 when I listened to BOC after bartending and just chilled in my apartment stoned and a little drunk floating away!! Also they are great to pass the time by on a bus, road trip or while walking, biking or working out while using good headphones or over car speakers!! The best! This is like math electronica the people who turned me on to them would say, but I just find it to be very nostalgic, comforting and slightly disturbing, but in a good way. lol I was born in 1982, so this music sounds like old 70-80's movie soundtracks, commercials and trippy vintage lofi synth sounds layered into a beautiful dreamy sound!! Love this mix you made too! Puts the music in perspective, as I had the albums memorized and it's nice to hear them all mixed up like this!

BOC is best listened to when zoning out staring through the trees from your hammock watching horsetail clouds.....I feel the presence of now. Most of BOC's music is not meant to replace or saturate, it just pushes open the door of your reality a bit to help you let go and realize you're alive. Thx for posting!

    I really love the subtle visual edits in this mix, such as the black elements appearing one by one in the first few seconds, then fading into the background over time.
    Then, on the half asleep mix the background color shifts to envelop the art/text elements over time, ending with farewell fire fully enveloped in orange. So thought provoking!

      The Boards aren't Christian as well, but I think that was indeed the intended effect, that religion even to an outsider can inspire a strong feeling of human connection and some ephemeral sense of meaning.
      I don't like the song that much, it reminds too much of the damage that religious indoctrination on the very young can have, and I'm glad it wasn't on the normal release of Geogaddi. But it is an interesting art piece

    • @squirlmy
      @squirlmy Год назад +6

      Some of the "religious" parts like the children saying prayers (Tony Schwartz Records the Sound of Children 1970 Folkways Records) is juxtaposed to references to the Branch Davidians and unsettling Satanic references, especially in Geogaddhi (which is 66 minutes, 6 seconds long), so you are missing the underneath layers that are about being highly skeptical, even horrified by religiousity. I almost feel bad pointing out these things to you, where you've detected the innocent, childlike parts, without realizing disturbing parts. BTW they've also sampled dialog from porn films. BoC is definitely not Christian, although feel free to play it in your local Church group!

    I feel such wonder and nostalgia and joy listening to this tape and BOC in general. Kiteracer 2 specifically on this tape is just so fantastic to me, one of the most beautiful artworks I've ever experienced.

    contrary to what I read in the comment field, Boards of Canada never evokes feeling of nostalgia. For me, it is steel-cut and meticulously engineered images of an exciting future, with strict lines, spacious accommodation, slightly blunt but rational arguments. Very good stuff.

    Found BoC after grabbing up Meat Beat Manifesto maxi single that they had a remix on. MHTRTC had just come out, so I grabbed it as soon as I saw the cover because of how much it reminded me of when I was little in 1983, and the family photos of my brother and I. It struck a chord that no other music had at that time.

    • @Jacob-2796
      @Jacob-2796 Год назад

      I also bought MHTR based on the cover alone, knowing nothing about them. Been in love with them ever since. Best lucky choice ever.

    I remember buying MHTRTC in 1998. At first I wasn't overly impressed, just thought it sounded like a minimal version of Black Dog's "Spanners" which came out 3yrs previously. After a few listens & especially ROYGBIV I got it.

      isn't it weird how some music doesn't hit you right away?... I chock that up to the difference between mindless pop music which is, generally speaking... a mind-control exercise in IMMEDIATE gratification through tried and true chord progressions and heavy, in your face processing... meant to sell a product and keep you addicted... trouble is, the mindless average music listener will never reach deeper levels of satisfaction from chords and structures which take the subconscious some time to process. I notice stereolab did that to me alot (and there are countless examples). I was lisening to some strfkr album and dude, the processing was absolutely spectacular... but the chord progressions did not click right away... the more i listened the more and more I could finally feel the chord progressions and anticipate them... such a great experience. I will say though, the simple structure and melodies notorious of corporate pop, are still enjoyable styles.. only as long as they come from bands you never heard of :D

    Their music evokes a strange sense of nostalgia for the mid-to-late 1970s, the tail end of 20th century techno-optimism. During this era, it still seemed possible that institutionalized social science, medicine, and psychology might rescue the planet's parasites from their own worst tendencies. Not coincidentally, this was also the period during which we discovered and began living among them.
    Since much confusion about "children" remains, I would like to make clear that this term typically refers to the smaller, less developed meat-things, about which the larger units frequently become sentimental. For what it's worth, I once replaced the lower jaw of one with a mechanical apparatus by the movement of which the small creature might appear to "sing along" with certain tracks. The moisture of its eyes was quite affecting in this context, though the sounds it emitted rather ruined the effect.
    Lovely mix though...
