I’m an old dude 64 and first heard Boards of Canada about 2 years ago and have listened since, There’s something about the arrangement that’s surprises me as though I’m hearing new sounds for the first time but can’t help feeling nostalgic about each song, amazing group.
I first heard this album in 2004. a tornado had just gone through our town. I was in the basement of our house listening to new arrivals from amazon on my cd walkman. once the danger was over, I popped this in and walked around outside, with downed powerlines and downed trees. it was the summer before I went to college, and I still remember it vividly.
@@thareealgee Recently where i live it snowed and i walked around the area near my old elementary school at night in the falling snow listening to this, so eerie and calm. making a lonely trail of snowy footprints in the rec field i hadnt stepped in in years
I remember I once listened to this after my nephew had been round playing with lego. He left such a mess... but the carnage to this soundtrack had a strange kind of beauty.
2006. Sitting in my car at a park processing my first true heartbreak. Fell asleep to this masterpiece and woke up feeling nice. 2022. Visiting home. Just got my heart kicked again. Went to same park, blasted it, smoked cigarettes for the first time in 5 years and realized just how much I’ve grown and how much more capable I am of processing pain and trauma. Still growing. Still loving. Still BoC.
As I age I realise that I was so lucky hearing BOC ,Aphex Twin, Autechre etc as they emerged. The rhythms, melodies and techniques they pioneered changed music. Great era for the ears.
I’m a long time lover of boards of Canada, but have not listened to this album in a long time. After being stuck in a funk for months and completely abandoning creating art of any kind, I threw on this album to chill to and received a huge rush of inspiration. I drew in my sketchbook all the things that came to my mind and I think I have finally found a way out of this rut.love you guys and hope this album helps you too.
Whoa…I got chills reading this comment. I used to listen to this album deeply for all the years I was on drugs and created my own music. I stopped making and listening music since I’ve been sober. Been several years now. My life has been more positive but I miss creating sounds and listening to them. Anyway, I saw this on my feed and I’m so glad to revisit this album because it changed my life. Hope you’re doing well and still creating. Maybe I’ll start making albums again.
I remember it was year 2000 in Iceland Reykjavik wintertime. I discovered this record at the local record shop, the seller offered me coffee because it was freezing. Talked a bit about Radiohead stuff Kid A, LKJ, Outside, Trip Hop, DrumnBass. Finally purchased some unknown Boards of Canada EP called "In a beautiful place...". Since then, this peculiar track "Kid for Today" remains connected to Iceland, the snow, the icebergs, the sunfade at 15 oclock, the Aurora Borealis, the magestic beauty of winter... That's an experience I'll never forget, some music really change you, shape you in the deepest way.

I first heard this in 2016. I was in College , I was under alot of stress and anxiety. BOC's music has always been a Guardian Angel, always have calmed me down before any stressful situation. Even during studies, it helped me to focus. I sometimes feel like I've attained enlightenment
The first time i heard this album was many years ago when me and my mate actually built a music studio (interior) for our other mates who were in a band. I remember being blown away by this hypnotising music. Sadly it was the only thing i remember as there was a lot of consumption at the “opening”. I was reminded how bad a state i was in several days later when one of my mates showed me a photo of myself in boxer shorts, passed out, face-planting a huge uneaten pizza still in the box. Good times.
I was so lucky to find this band in my teens. It’s my biggest influence musically and changed my life emotionally. I used to listen to BOC and Radiohead’s “Kid A” albums religiously.
We might be the same people. First I found Radiohead through Pyramid Song, then I got to Kid A, discovered Geogaddi, then about a month later got super into Death Grips and JPEGMAFIA. Now I'm headed to see Death Grips in August, and, come September, I'm gonna start music technology.classes in college
Boards of Canada is something else. It takes my strange isolation and flips it on it's head, makes me feel synchronized with a universal essence. Something spiritual perhaps, I'm not sure how else to describe it. Even as I type this, I am tempted to just erase it all because words can hardly describe the atmosphere that BoC invokes.
Same here it somehow makes everything ok, it evokes something spiritual and beyond words/cognition, and it kinds of breaks that never-ending "story" in our minds about who we are and what's wrong with us.
12:44 This song holds a special place for me. I was literally out in a beautiful place in the country of NJ working, listening to this on headphones. As we were getting done, I went out back of the house I was working at with my dad, the sunset was a blazing orange color and the whole sky was an dark amber fading to night, the stars were so bright in the sky. Whenever I hear this song, I can recall the exact feelings I had as a teen back then, all the mystery in the world and questioning why are we here on earth. This song is a peak point in my spiritual development as a teen.
@@FSVR54 Bass drop (4 bass note loop) on that track is just ridiculous; after years and years of listening I still get goosebumps with it. Soft, nurturing, heavenly...How can you get all that with a four note sequence??!!
That's the thing about BoC, their music always seems to represents images of your past or a scenescape.....for me, its always a faded grainy technicolor image like a super-8mm film from the 60's or 70's.
Quiet Brian :: I am forever led back to walks I shared with my Granda and his glorious Kerry Blues along the banks of the river Bann in Ireland during the 70's and 80's. . . The British troops running amok through peoples homes The RUC (the most sinister police force ever ) fully supporting the Brits and the whole time Thatcher is a joke. .Bobby Sands starved himself to death more followed him . . atrocities every week . . decent people trying to go to work killed ruthlessly for happening to be the wrong religion in wrong place. I listen to BoC and I'm right back there . . Every thing comes rushing back . . however all the fear has gone now .
@@serraramayfield9230 he was a beautiful person, and awesome dj, that went too far with experimental substances, and indeed did turn me on to Boards of Canada, and KLF!
@@nbongo1 Oh...a friend introduced me to BoC too. If only there was a place where fans could talk of memories without prejudice...you sound like a really gentle person ;w;
I just heard this record for the 1st time about 4 days ago. I listened and watched Alan Watt for the 1st time as well. I'm 47 , Now I know I'm never going to return. I'm ok with that. Peace and love from NYC D
Re-listening to this EP for the first time in a year or two, and really appreciating how the track Amo Bishop Roden sounds like the bridge between early Aphex Twin and BoC's own style
it is difficult for me to express my appreciation for BOC, it is my staple, my heart, my place of reality and escape when none other exists. Thanks for posting this, Thom ❤
Frist BOC's tune I've heard. It was ten years ago. It changed my life for damn sure. This opened me to a whole new world of electronic music, and pushed me to start mixing vinyls. TRUE SOUND OF EMOTION
Man, I just keep coming back to this album, over and over again. There's something about it that just feels so timeless to me, and it gives me a sense of peace and clarity that I need now most of all. Thanks for this upload, Thom Yorke :)
it's one of those songs that takes a few years of loop listening to get old. And a few years later you start again. And every time it feels like nothing has changed since the last time.
Your music is so amazing! It helped me so much during my awakening...is ways which could never be measured or explained in this post. I thank you for that! Thanks for sharing and letting us in on your talent that is apprecaited beyond measure:) The feeling and mezmerizing sounds is always so good to listen to.:)
The only problem with every BOC album is that it eventually come to an end, and then you have to take it out of the CD player and put it back in the case and return to reality.
I didn't even realize this was an album apart from just a track until I watched This Is Hexagon Sun documentary. A must watch. Love Kid For Today on this a lot.
thom, you and your band, and boc, gives us different magic vibes, but the same doses of misticism to feel the world where we live.. im very happy that you upload and refer to this álbum.. it makes me feel that this subte feelings are not casual, instead, deeply conected.
since 2000 this masterpiece album remind me when i was little in the 70s specially the late 70s toward 77 78 in paris suburb .. .. ( the same thing like i hear the duo AIR )...and the best soundtrack to be alone at night in a very intense and deep forest and walk..i tried once ...just magical moment !and very intense to work our little imagination... many many thanx to share it !!
Scotland seems to be a very special place. May somewhen I´ll visit. These tiny variations on the drums are awwwsome. (got in on CD and thx for thee upload)
Scotland is a beautiful place filled with tremendous scenery & inspiration all around. There's also a very dark & still present past, as you can hear through our music. You will love it here though, we look forward to having you!
this music made me believe there could be some sort of cosmic connection to different dimensions that i could travel to if only i believed. ive since grown up but i still fucking love boc. it still amazes me how vivid of a picture their music can paint, and how its painted similarly for so many different people. shout out to the comments on their videos for sharing what they see and helping to correlate information about their experiences with boc, and shout out to SALAD FINGERS for exposing me to this music that means so much to me, to all of us
I first came across BoC in 2000 via John Peel's late evening radio show and still have this on vinyl - it's a beautiful piece of artwork. I find many of their songs are ethereal. I have Amo Bishop Roden, In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country, and Dayvan Cowboy on repeat when cycling around the city/suburbs where I live to keep me calm in the face of motorists rushing around, and the ever-decreasing skyline making way for high rise buildings with unaffordable housing.
You are right, and are can't who abuse it. If it doesn't to any jamwise alacrity purport, then all contravariant queries observed herewith are rendered merely profund!
A true classic and masterpiece imo. The soundtrack to my life in the late 90's early 2000's (I was just turning 20 around then). To me, its a synergy of the somber sound of desolation, and feelings of nostalgia and bittersweet sadness knowing that its because life is so ephemerol that it is so beautiful and wonderous. A lot of Depeche Mode gave me that feeling ("Enjoy the silence").
First time I listened to this I was alone in my room blazed to hell. When 5:05 happened, I felt like my brain split in half and turned upside down for a few minutes! What a great song
kid for today reminds me of the shutter on a film camera,, i dont know why, in fact ive never heard a shutter that sounds similar to this sound, but there is something about its hollow clank. love it
I am here. I am drunk. I am stoned. I am the ghostly character of who i once was. My life has been a strange one.. But , if it wasn't for you. It would never have been worth while.
@@SoulFlask I understand that feeling and pain pretty well, I experienced a lot of it, and still do sometimes. loneliness is a gift that can more easily show you what you are beneath all the stories and circumstances that move and change. I don't want to patronize you, just know that you're far from alone in that feeling, and in the fact that you're here. I'm sure you'll be able to see that gift
in a beautiful place out in the country.... it hurts very much to listen to it, its like a wash of ecstatic memories slowly unfolding like a cloud in the sky, always changing yet always the same..
@Gary McMichael Gary--- "hate" here is akin to "player hating'" It doesn't mean actual hate, like a Webster's dictionary definition. It means being critical...You should try keeping up with the language of the streets. Pop slang. It will make you a more concise character, a better writer too.
@Gary McMichael No. Its the language of the working man. The world of slang. Language a living breathing organism that goes through manifold metamorphosis as the world changes. It's the ornamentation and inflection of language to reflect the emotional climate of the times. Think of Anthony Burgesses " a clock work orange" That whole book was written in a complete slang of invention...and yet it sings doesn't it? In a sense it augments one's own understanding of so called "proper English" That being said, I understand your criticism and believe you me, sloppy grammar even on forums such as these drive me nuts. But I would suggest that you allow yourself to to be flexible with language and how you utilize it. Hang around some blue collar workers or at the local Pub, and listen carefully to how language is employed. You could see it as distorted yes, but you can also see it as being beautified. If you really are a writer, then you should be all ears all the time, if you want to speak to the people of your time. It is the only way to be relevant.
I have no idea the first time I heard this, in fact I can't remember a time I haven't known this EP, It's a part of me, It's a part of the ether, And it reminds me I'm part of something so vast, I can hardly comprehend the scale and beauty of.
Kid for Today and In A Beautiful Place are absolute gold. Had a friend introduce me to BOC in 2005 and they (and Radiohead) have been my most listened to artists to date.
I'm deeply grateful that I discovered Aphex, BoC, Squarepusher, Plaid & others Warp artists when i was 16, between 2001-2002. Also discovered Radiohead mounths after. It was the weirdest years, but unforgetable, and among the best ones. Thanks to all these great artists ♥ Thanks to God for all his guidance ♥ Brace Yourself ! Bright Time is Coming.
That melody at the end off 'beautiful place out in the country' gives me goosebumps, completely unsatisfied with the fact that it is such a short phase off the track. BoC 4 life
Another You Tube Association post! It's about a man. With a big old BMW, and this face, wow, his face, and fiery, red hair. Listened to this EP after going to see DJ Shadow. And kissed- pretty much a transcendental wee moment. For some unfathomable reason I did not ask to see him again, tell him what I thought, that a beautiful thing was possibly going on, or acknowledge the kindness that truly emanated from him. And I have no idea why. And I just, of course, was left with that reverb extending into infinity (or at least twenty five years) which still brings him to mind whenever I hear BoC.
BoC is the music producer's music producer. I learned about them through Deadmau5 and Tycho talking about them to name a few. I'm glad I listened to them long enough for it to finally click. Pure genius.
Amazing album. Love these guys and other UK trip hop/electrionica related acts like Massive Attack, Portishead, Unkle, Burial, Tricky, Forest Swords, Allflaws

Sadly it was the only thing i remember as there was a lot of consumption at the “opening”.

I first came across BoC in 2000 via John Peel's late evening radio show and still have this on vinyl - it's a beautiful piece of artwork. I find many of their songs are ethereal. I have Amo Bishop Roden, In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country, and Dayvan Cowboy on repeat when cycling around the city/suburbs where I live to keep me calm in the face of motorists rushing around, and the ever-decreasing skyline making way for high rise buildings with unaffordable housing.
This album just deserve an award !
just perfect from A to D !
Such a wonderful earing travel !
You are right, and are can't who abuse it. If it doesn't to any jamwise alacrity purport, then all contravariant queries observed herewith are rendered merely profund!
@@automan1591 So true!
Thank you so much. I never knew the name of the first tune only knew it was BOC. Reminds me of being 15 again hearing this.
Went down a rabbit hole of stuff I haven't listened to in 20+ years. Fantastic. God, I used to be hip.
Hey man, my last name is Wirth too 🖖🏻
A true classic and masterpiece imo. The soundtrack to my life in the late 90's early 2000's (I was just turning 20 around then). To me, its a synergy of the somber sound of desolation, and feelings of nostalgia and bittersweet sadness knowing that its because life is so ephemerol that it is so beautiful and wonderous. A lot of Depeche Mode gave me that feeling ("Enjoy the silence").
Who am I? With you 100%.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I have also noticed a parallel between BoC and Depeche Mode
Feel the same way.
That's an interesting line you've drawn, it's true that Depeche mode shares a certain kind of aesthetic with BoC.
BoC's music is going to get me through life, through the highs and lows I will listen.
One of the greatest inspirations.
o ya?
First time I listened to this I was alone in my room blazed to hell. When 5:05 happened, I felt like my brain split in half and turned upside down for a few minutes! What a great song
This band. These brothers. These musicians. Truly spellbinding. Utterly underrated. Eternally impactful.
kid for today reminds me of the shutter on a film camera,, i dont know why, in fact ive never heard a shutter that sounds similar to this sound, but there is something about its hollow clank. love it
It's the sound of a slide projector flipping between slides.
very astute observation my good man (or gal or whatever you be)
Boards of Canada stole my mind.....
they put an eagle in it...
Our minds are... kind of public property. We are all more similar than we might think much of the time.
I bought it off them. I'll sell it back to you for $50. Gently used.
hehe.. i know exactly what you mean
A perfect EP and BoC‘s best project in my opinion.
I am here. I am drunk. I am stoned. I am the ghostly character of who i once was. My life has been a strange one.. But , if it wasn't for you. It would never have been worth while.
how are you doing these days?
@@crackbaby4444 A bit better, but extremely lonely :|
@@SoulFlask I understand that feeling and pain pretty well, I experienced a lot of it, and still do sometimes. loneliness is a gift that can more easily show you what you are beneath all the stories and circumstances that move and change. I don't want to patronize you, just know that you're far from alone in that feeling, and in the fact that you're here. I'm sure you'll be able to see that gift
Sitting in parking lot durrong lunch break , this music is soooooooo trippy and relaxing.
The very last 10 minutes of this album can perfectly translate my everyday-life mood into music. I just can't stop playing it...
I don't have a story connected to BoC, it's just amazing to me. Transcendent. Like for all of us. 💜🙏
in a beautiful place out in the country.... it hurts very much to listen to it, its like a wash of ecstatic memories slowly unfolding like a cloud in the sky, always changing yet always the same..
John P Yeaah man
@Gary McMichael don't hate on his reach bro...celebrate it.
@Gary McMichael Sorry Gary I disagree. "reach" expresses a more prosaic street flavor, in my opinion. I chose the word carefully. I am a writer too.
@Gary McMichael Gary--- "hate" here is akin to "player hating'" It doesn't mean actual hate, like a Webster's dictionary definition. It means being critical...You should try keeping up with the language of the streets. Pop slang. It will make you a more concise character, a better writer too.
@Gary McMichael No. Its the language of the working man. The world of slang. Language a living breathing organism that goes through manifold metamorphosis as the world changes. It's the ornamentation and inflection of language to reflect the emotional climate of the times. Think of Anthony Burgesses " a clock work orange" That whole book was written in a complete slang of invention...and yet it sings doesn't it? In a sense it augments one's own understanding of so called "proper English"
That being said, I understand your criticism and believe you me, sloppy grammar even on forums such as these drive me nuts. But I would suggest that you allow yourself to to be flexible with language and how you utilize it. Hang around some blue collar workers or at the local Pub, and listen carefully to how language is employed. You could see it as distorted yes, but you can also see it as being beautified. If you really are a writer, then you should be all ears all the time, if you want to speak to the people of your time. It is the only way to be relevant.
Thank you
This is their best release.
I almost reported you. It's old tunes vol 1 & 2
@@reversefulfillment9189 dude you're having a ball in this comment section. nama-fuckin-ste
@@reversefulfillment9189 heresy.
I forgot how much Kid For Today is a photograph of a dream that took place in the 80s.
90s for me. 5 years old, sitting in the back of the car at night looking at streetlights go by.
Did your family have a slide projector when you were a kid?
I have no idea the first time I heard this, in fact I can't remember a time I haven't known this EP,
It's a part of me,
It's a part of the ether,
And it reminds me I'm part of something so vast,
I can hardly comprehend the scale and beauty of.
Great stuff and great quality audio! Thanks for sharing
Kid for Today and In A Beautiful Place are absolute gold. Had a friend introduce me to BOC in 2005 and they (and Radiohead) have been my most listened to artists to date.
I'm deeply grateful that I discovered Aphex, BoC, Squarepusher, Plaid & others Warp artists when i was 16, between 2001-2002. Also discovered Radiohead mounths after. It was the weirdest years, but unforgetable, and among the best ones. Thanks to all these great artists ♥ Thanks to God for all his guidance ♥
Brace Yourself ! Bright Time is Coming.
The ultimate snowboarding music nothing like hurtling down a mountain with BOC pumping in your ears and soul.
I listen to BoC on the bus to school, and since I get on when it’s still dark in winter, it’s a very dreamlike feeling.
Their music is unique and so different to what I normally hear, really takes me back to the 90’s era when hearing these tunes. 😀
That melody at the end off 'beautiful place out in the country' gives me goosebumps, completely unsatisfied with the fact that it is such a short phase off the track. BoC 4 life
how beautiful
This is beautifully amazingly wonderfully wow
OMG...thank you
Another You Tube Association post! It's about a man. With a big old BMW, and this face, wow, his face, and fiery, red hair. Listened to this EP after going to see DJ Shadow. And kissed- pretty much a transcendental wee moment. For some unfathomable reason I did not ask to see him again, tell him what I thought, that a beautiful thing was possibly going on, or acknowledge the kindness that truly emanated from him. And I have no idea why. And I just, of course, was left with that reverb extending into infinity (or at least twenty five years) which still brings him to mind whenever I hear BoC.
A gorgeous e.p full of melancholy and loss
wow universal sound
BoC is the music producer's music producer. I learned about them through Deadmau5 and Tycho talking about them to name a few. I'm glad I listened to them long enough for it to finally click. Pure genius.
Zoetrope : Thank you !
Amo Bishop Roden is mentioned within 1969. 'Although she's not a follower of David Koresh (backwards), she's a devoted Branch Davidian'.
such a beautiful place, yes thank you Thom ; one vinyl copy i got
this takes me back. Ty x
My favorite BoC album.
Me to. Only thing is I wish it was longer but ill take quality over quantity anyday. :)
i feel like grieving for something i haven't even lost yet.
oh, you've already lost it alright, we all have! Have a nice day!
Clever
Where do you keep your valuables?
It's your virginity, isn't it?
If your ancestors have lost it, you have lost it. They are within you.
Amazing album.
Love these guys and other UK trip hop/electrionica related acts like
Massive Attack, Portishead, Unkle, Burial, Tricky, Forest Swords, Allflaws
Like the music is flowings inwards in beautiful emotional landscapes of vastness ...
wow wowo wow, MASTERPIECE, cheers from italy!
Cheers from mexico
Kid For Today might be their best track and theres some tough competition.
What an amazing album it has been in my mind since I first heard it. They have touched on something elsewhere. Very beautiful and mysterious.
Good upload Thom Yorke
Early 2000’s St. Andrews (beach party’s) and bunkers 😁 had this on a 10k rig
So dope. I dive into myself.
