2:09 … Love how they did this hellish voice manipulation, but *only* once during the track. It’s a great move made stronger with restraint. Having that anomalous occurrence adds so much intrigue and, frankly, menace to the track. Hints to some of the more sinister tones they’d adopt on Geogaddi.
I love this mix for over 10 years now. It would be so awesome to get it in high quality on Tidal - would listen to it for hours, days, weeks and another 10 years!
I used to have this song on loop while writing papers in college in the winter during my freshman year. I’ve kept revisiting this video in specific since then every year!
@@maki3951 There's some fire on that bootleg! I bought it for this one, but was pleasantly surprised by some of the other tuned I'd never heard, esp Korona.
This n the Col. Abrams Trapped remix is seriously some of the catchiest shid in existence. Like I love BOC n even saw them live in London years ago, but wish they produced a lil more stuff like this
Really tough to properly put into words just how beautiful this remix is. Thank you, Midnight Star, for creating the original and thank you, BoC, for transforming it into this absolutely soaring electro masterpiece. (And... the remix of the original video is, in its own right, a work of subtle genius.)
@@boudewyn like information? Well I heard that everything in this track except for the vocals is by boards. They used an accapella track to sample the vocals.
This song is such a dark twisted mindfuck. The story of King Midas is not a happy one - its a cautionary tale. In short - Kind Midas wanted everything he touched to turn to gold. Problem is you can't hug or love anybody. The lyrics state "Everything you need, you can find right here with me" because he has "the Midas touch" and everything he touches "turns to gold" and then asks to touch "your body and your soul". Essentially, solidifying your body and soul into a cold lifeless metal. I always wondered why BoC chose to remix this - and now it makes sense as it ties into BoC's masterful ability to both "seduce and frighten" you with their music into a "a place where beauty and madness aren't that far from each other".
it's not dark or twisted, you are the one doing the twisting with your interpretation of it. we all do it. it is very deep and allegorical. it is timeless. i'd leave it at that, but that's just me and i'm only sharing my opinion. peace
@@vertsk8er419 "Seduce and frighten" and "a place where beauty and madness aren't that far from each other" comes directly from the Hexagon Sun camp - that's why it's in quotes. It's not "twisting" an interpretation, it's exactly what BoC/Hexagon Sun say they do.
One of the things I love about Boards is that they have this incredibly subtle electro/boogie touch on some of their earliest stuff - specifically thinking of tracks like "Nlogax"
There's a project by Sunken Foal that does something similar. Search on Vimeo for "Press Charges - I Did You Wrong’" and check out the other videos for this project. Also check out this tune + release: countersunk.bandcamp.com/track/heal-me-mog-mix (this one I also uploaded to my channel if you prefer RUclips) (don't have any association with the artist)
Where do i get the levels of Pure Swag required to walk into a club with that jacket, and that haircut, and successfully pull it off? Someone please, teach me.
Way to fuck up this song... the right way. I'm amazed at how it makes me feel compared to the original. I don't think I'll listen another version again.
I actually got mixed up. There's another Hell Interface remix of an r&b song, Trapped by Colonel Abrams, and that one has two different versions, one from the MASK compilation and one from the Old Tunes tape.
_Boards of Canada_ are masters of electronic sampling in my opinion, and I think the original composition of this song's lyrics, considering how the words are enunciated around each other and their fluctuating volume, gives a very direct and powerful effect when combined with said electronic instrumentation. the background instrumentation is likely my favourite portion of this remix: I get quite the invested shivers when I focus on that...somewhat of a siren's croon composing an aspect!
The synth line in this sound really like an Aphex Twin sample. Might be wrong and it is just a co-incidence. Starting to bug me now and I will have to go and find it. Sounds like it might have come from either of the Select Ambient works albums.....still love the original and the BOC remix.
Keeping this playing in 2024
Everything BOC touches genuinely turns to gold
Or sugar
@@vincentmcgrath5222 Or ange
Even Marcus Eoin?
maybe silver...
They’ve got the midas touch

Just closed a set with this last night. Such a moment.
where you get the track ?
@@rythmia1180 I forget where I found it originally, but I actually found a bootleg BOC vinyl that has this on it. DM me and I can share.
@@robertgarvansnyder4665 you can't direct message on youtube.

On my 1000th listen in the month I found this. Feeling like gold every time.
TIL, after a decade of BoC fandom, this absolute HEATER exists.
fucking MADNESS!
Same here! To top it off, I have a bootleg of this on vinyl that I never realized until reorganizing my records this week.
@@maki3951 wow good find
@@maki3951 There's some fire on that bootleg! I bought it for this one, but was pleasantly surprised by some of the other tuned I'd never heard, esp Korona.
Check out kaman Leung. He was big into these reedits.
Goes to show if BOC made pop music they’d be the biggest artists of all time

@@speedstickofficialwow I will certainly switch to speed stick knowing they’re proud supporters of BoC
This song is my spirit animal. Pure gold, baby. Got the bootleg vinyl of this.HEAVENLY.......
I love the interlude between 3:06 and 3:23. It always gives me shivers for some reason.
Same
that's my favourite part as well
Feels like the rest of the track gives way and you get to hear the ambient track in the back in it's entirety.
When those synths appear...
Outstanding piece of work
Utterly energising
Really tough to properly put into words just how beautiful this remix is.
Thank you, Midnight Star, for creating the original and thank you, BoC, for transforming it into this absolutely soaring electro masterpiece.
(And... the remix of the original video is, in its own right, a work of subtle genius.)
They turn good songs into masterpieces
i keep coming back to this...pure love and ascension
Now they are golden inside.
Litteral inner beauty
hell interface are one of my favourite bands
+Berselius you do know it's boards of canada, right?
I don't know him but I'm guessing he/she is referring to the tracks specifically by the BoC alias, Hell Interface
No such group, this is a Boards of Canada remix. :)
If you like Hell Interface I suggest you another rocking band: Boards of Canada
@@ZeroCool_Numbers same people, different band . The style is not similar
Who's still listening in 2020 🙋🏻♂️
Right here :)
and im on hella lsd
yup
Loving it still. Anyone with some interesting stuff on this track?
@@boudewyn like information? Well I heard that everything in this track except for the vocals is by boards. They used an accapella track to sample the vocals.
Those dreamy harmony pads so BoC are almost all in this remix

it is often a dark and twisted path that leads one to Tiphereth
Sir only you created this thanks. But remember you are missing an alchemical story all chemical story lol godspeed
@@chadkennedy7459 It's what HexSun has said, Chad.
Who's still listening in 2021!
Thank you Artour

the remix compliments the high production values of the original......it's just too good
The best part is this remix was made before they were even Boards of Canada. I miss them so much.
BoC, come home baby, we miss you
I’d punch a baby in the face just to have this available on Spotify
Yes, in the fcking face 👍
You should look into the local files feature 👁️🗨️
All that just so that you can consoom on one specific streaming platform where you don't even own anything? This some turbo-dipshittery.
@@PlasticBag4Statusit’s not that deep bro
I have this on bootleg vinyl if that does anything for you.
after nearly 10 years of listening to this tune its still as fresh as the first time i heard it big up BOC
Yeaaah, better quality!
2 different musicstyles in a perfect marriage...
Brothah's did this shit proper almost 30 years ago...why i'm still a fan of these guys \m/
this is one of my favorite boards of canada songs
omg this just hits in the feels, everytime, too good
The sad, pensive overtones combine with the super energetic positivity of the original song to give it a feeling of passionate sincerity.
I actually prefer this to the original
Me too ... its so well done
As you said man. This is awesome! 😀
i love this more than i love myself.
Wow :) wow...
Not spiritually possible
Hate to fully agree on this comment
Still in 2022🤩🥳
One of the best things on the internet. Wow
My god, they are soooooo good! BoC, that is. I think they made this song about themselves... the whole "everything I touch turns into gold" aspect.
i'm glad i'm not the only crazy person thinking like that
Such a great rework!! Dig the BOC signature pads in this...beaut!!
Skamosmusic* exactly
Oi it's shen love this track lol
Best part of 2021 so far
They improved the original so much
I bet those kids were high as kites huffing all that gold paint. Great tune, I wish Hell Interface would be started up again to do some more remixes.
Found this on a vaporwave site, this a fucking 2021 banger!
Great track. The overlay of a Boards synth suits the tune so well!
Love this song for years. If you do too your a legend. ❤
A shame the brothers didn't give the 'BOC treatment' to other 80's tracks like this.. Would have been most fascinating to listen to.
I've always said this. I so want more Hell Interface stuff...

Their Old Tunes compilations did this tbh
@jon jon Brasileiro It's up to you how much it interests you :)
Woah. BoC does 80s soul. The best thing I've ever seen.
The video is so 80s it seems more like a hamfisted parody of the 80s than something that actually came from the 80s.
greatest track in the planet!!!!
This version has the magic touch.
The 80s sound we never got but always needed
Outstanding
This is such a great remix. Sigh. Why can't I make something as good as this?
You can, just believe it man!
I bet he can't.
Because of people like Max Martin. Spread the word. It's a sickness.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Martin
You've not got the midas touch.
You lack confidence
This version is way better than the original.
Waaaaaaaaay better
Amazing
Where do i get the levels of Pure Swag required to walk into a club with that jacket, and that haircut, and successfully pull it off? Someone please, teach me.
corsair831 Its called Balls. ;)
Damnit, I wish I had Balls.
Cocaine.
In the 80s. Being black also helps.
corsair831 Brooklyn or Minneapolis
best of the fucking best. brothers know their stuff
I wish they would explore more techno/dance music
Looks like i've found my new jam

Wish they''d revive Hell Interface
Pay close attention, you may get what you wish for.
It's time to dig again :)

I can smell that curl from the future.
Let your soul glow.
Holy shit this is a Boards of Canada remix
yep, there's a second remix too
Octagon Seventynine where at?

Were you thinking of this one? soundcloud.com/user-250573169/midas-touch
I would take a Boards of Canada fart recording leaked at this point. Almost 10 years and no new anything.
Sick edit
So dope!
Great track! Love BoC, got this one on vinyl:)

@DjAdam16 you sound like an old man. this is great and so is some rap. itd be boring as hell if all we had was this. ftr im a massive BOC fan.
Chub n tuck, fanny pack and a walkman with the midas touch

papa bless
ahead of its time.
BoC do have the Midas touch
this is fucking amazing. wish i could stream or download this legally somewhere
This is the best thing EVER :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
this video just made this song that much better.
Still sounds amazing
Nicely done.
Everything i touch turns to shiet
the shietist touch
😂😂😂
Absolutely incredible.
Reminds me of 'Trapped' But IDK if that track is confirmed boc or not
It's confirmed, btw, since old tunes is confirmed.
Unbelievably beautiful.
Good gawd, this is one of the best things ever.
First listen: Meh
Second listen: eh
Third listen: he!

What do you mean 'blighted'?
Good one .
Everything I touch turns to balloon
This is like the precursor of vaporwave. Boards of Canada did it a decade earlier, with taste. Brilliant.
Great job putting together the video!
rtz plz

This is timeless.
