I always wonder why it is that music is so closely linked with our emotions. It's just a bunch of sound waves hitting our ears, yet it can have a massive effect on how we feel. Life would suck a lot more without music
This song gives you the feeling like something bad happened, you can't turn it back the way it was and everything else just continues with the same pattern. Impressive what feelings BoC can achieve.
It reminds me of smoking tobacco. Like it can be so calming but you know it can also be harmful in its effects.. but that's all just a part of the draw..
when i first discovered boc i hit up napster and just downloaded enough songs to fill a cd. and while this song wasnt my favorite on the cd or in general, i still have such vivid memories of driving the back roads with my buddy, touring around at night with no destination in mind. this song is forever carved into my minds eye with images of dark roads, empty fields and dense forests blanketed in the light of the moon. boc is life
Every now and then I have to listen to stuff like this because I often let the quick paced reality of life consume me and I just need time to relax and rethink of what my real values of living are.
I know this comment is 14 years old and you most likely wont see it but I was listening to this song as my plane was landing, It felt like the distorted horn like sound was both my heart and the plane dropping, Its always terrifying whenever the plane starts landing, one second its falling then its stable and then it falls again, its like a repeating limbo, This song was perfect for that moment.
BoC and 2001. A marriage made in heaven. This is such a tense song. It feels like the bubble's about to burst, like a global crisis is about to unfold. I'm not one to have bad trips, but I would not listen to this song while on anything.
〈hm〉 me and a good friend of mine dropped acid for the first listening of Tomorrow's Harvest. We had the old Tron on mute going. That was a fucking experience man. BoC is now my ultimate go-to for acid tunes
I can't put my finger on it, but one time, I got some veeerrrrry sinister thoughts while tripping and listening to this track. Honestly, I like this song. But never agin, will I dare listen to this while on hallucinagens.
This reminds me of "Idoser" this stuff allows you to reach new heights when listened to properly. I listened to this before I went to bed and felt like I was never going to wake up if I fell asleep
Im high as hell listening to this and its quite interesting. Like when i listen to anything off Twoism it makes me feel young and lucid. Plus it brings back memories from the times i was stoned and had the craziest imagination. Ahhh. Hail BoC. =D
GREAT SONG, HUH GUYS!? BoC are masters of delving into my brain and ripping out all my impurities and slapping them in front of my face, in a surreal way. I accept it, and go with the music.
@nonameno5: I have watched your videos of BOC over the past few years and enjoyed your interpretation of these songs very much. I don't know who you are, but I hope you are rewarded for your exceptional talent somehow in your life.
I was sleeping with this in a stormy dawn and woke up through that sound in 0:41 cause I mistaken the sound for a cow from minecraft while I felt like I was tripping
These visions match the intensely bizarre vsions in the music. The constantly up and down musical blur in the background with haunting slow melody in the forefront make this melancholy, almost a nightmare, but a sweet one... It's a little bit insane...
I prefer the sound of the clean drum machine sounds here over the the distorted/sampled sounds in some of their other stuff. It contrasts well with other sounds in this track. They are musical geniuses. I know music theory, and the shit they pull.....well, almost no one can pull it off as successfully as they do.
Prolly my favorite song off of mhtrtc rn but I can't decide between the last four tracks of the album. After Olson, the album changes into this nightmare fever dream typa noise and it sounds really cool especially here idk what that main blaring sample is but the track wouldn't be the same without it
@FFSYouTookMyUsername Because music isn't simply soundwaves, it's a stimulant. Harmony and melodious music such as slow, ambient sound stimulates our minds, producing relaxed, euphoric feelings of well-being. That's why when you're sitting in a garden with wind chimes softly clanging together, you feel at peace. If you're sitting in a dark room with nothing but silence, you feel unease because your brain has no stimulation. Our minds work in mysterious ways.
+Robert Dominguez it's interesting you say that but I wasn't impressed by Interstellar. It was more like an action type film and the story was too reliant on chance to be scientific. Was not impressed but thanks for the suggestion.
i grew up in canada. and was always mystified by the national film boards short, like the mask etc. when i first heard boc, it was so instantaneous(the similiarities), and strange melodies of the 70's commercials. totally links me.
This music makes everything I know make sense. I'm pretty crazy in general, talking to random objects and assuming when you die you go to sleep. I'm probably not crazy, but any who. BoC makes everything alright.
It kinda sounds like your ears are popping through inter galactic travel. It kinda sounds like astronauts working on the international space station. It kinda sounds like a brain tumor pressing on your ears. Wikipedia says it's Ambient.
i can imagine two children playing in hiroshima....after the ominous angel of death has fallen on it... but they find beuty in the wateland i tleft behind and they find a flower at the end amongst the shodows of former people and the graveyards of chared wod and buildngs and aash
@seabass2008man I, too, am reminded by it of my childhood, though, apparently i can not say when i listened to this kind of music then. the closest i can think of was the opening theme of delta. mNszbr9OIX4 (if you are interested. i recommend it. kicks ass)
Man, seriously, i get that too. Im starting to think string theory is the way forward. We are all made up of an immense number of vibrating strings that resonate with particular frequencies on a much deeper level than we can comprehend. This is why GOOD MUSIC initiates deja vu in us. I get it with all my favourite music, first time i listen to it. Especially Radiohead....
I always wonder why it is that music is so closely linked with our emotions. It's just a bunch of sound waves hitting our ears, yet it can have a massive effect on how we feel. Life would suck a lot more without music
You said it brother. Hope life is still going well for you 11 years later

There is something so scary/creepy but also calming about this song
It reminds me of smoking tobacco. Like it can be so calming but you know it can also be harmful in its effects.. but that's all just a part of the draw..
what the f is calming this sobt ,ds fucking helll
What calms me in the music is a kind of resignation, like someone that is slowly accepting horror, a serial killer or something like this.
Reminds me of my Soviet childhood: the happy, cosy and wholesome moments with the backdrop of a screwed up dystopian society

Nothing's as beautiful as music
it does sound quite terrifying, this song is so sinister
I listened to this while flying over the desert in Arizona. Somehow, it fit the desolate and completely vacant landscape.

this song is killer on acid.

I would. this sounds like everything is melting into confusion.
Didn't smokes quantity come out in like 1995?

The best track to accompany my DMT trips period.
Big Smokes Quantity
We exist for a short segment of time
Always get strong images of a character exploring the ruins of a city left desolate by nuclear war.
This reminds me of "Idoser"
this stuff allows you to reach new heights when listened to properly. I listened to this before I went to bed and felt like I was never going to wake up if I fell asleep
I see this song like a trip. I heard it many times after a friend died and I imagined him floating away to a better place
feels like escapism during end times
Current
As pretentious as this might sound- Boards of Canada wrote the score for my all my vague memories.
Im high as hell listening to this and its quite interesting. Like when i listen to anything off Twoism it makes me feel young and lucid. Plus it brings back memories from the times i was stoned and had the craziest imagination. Ahhh. Hail BoC. =D
love the quantize of the drum and the drum on general,the kick,hihat and snare
I agree, this is a beautiful piece of music.
I come back to this video every month to listen such a magnificent song
so eerie. creeps into my mind during a cold nightwalk
GREAT SONG, HUH GUYS!? BoC are masters of delving into my brain and ripping out all my impurities and slapping them in front of my face, in a surreal way. I accept it, and go with the music.
I was born in 89 and I get the nostalgia feeling.
I really don't think it has too much to do with age as it does other factors.
3:06 has never felt shorter, not only bcuz I love this song, but I swear it has time-warping properties. As with most of BoC's work.

I can picture this being played on an Adult Swim bumper
Without a doubt, one of my favorite BoC's. This song paints an impressionists picture of a trip through a dark swamp.
Retro horror movie meets 70's educational projector film.
boards will always be there for ya. drift off and never look back. into the future i go.

THIS SONG MAKES ME FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE
Shane McDonald Should we always feel comfortable? I think part of the appeal of their music is the use of abrasive sound.
that's what it's all about a world inside the beat's
@HearThemCry that's the beauty of great artists - they can evoke a multitude of emotions at once... almost feels like a low-grade shroom trip.
Original sounds from Boards of Canada. The only heavy downbeat music I ever listen to.
To be honest, this song is badass.
This gave me nostalgia AND sensory overload at the same time..
This track would have fitted well on Geogaddi.
This song nests Geogaddi itself at its time. Or I like to put in that way
@@InBananaBag it was from Twoism though!
This is one of my favorites by them.
Their music changed the way I think...
These visions match the intensely bizarre vsions in the music. The constantly up and down musical blur in the background with haunting slow melody in the forefront make this melancholy, almost a nightmare, but a sweet one... It's a little bit insane...
@HearThemCry
and this is exactly why we all love BoC :)
well chosen visuals
Sounds like a knot of depression working it's way up your chest, at the end of the song, it's already reached your brain...

on a day you weren't anticipating, the dawn is cloudy
showing the innocenceof the children... and unbreakable spirit of thepeople and childrenand the beuty amongst the chaos
I could recognize the video. It’s from Space Odyssey.

Every person who has ever smoked more than five blunts a day knows all about this song
maybe its your body's way of telling you to stop damaging your brain.
Funny trippy stuff. I love it.
Why do I love listening to trippy music!? I can't do my math homework anymore because my brain feels like it's been inundated with bong water.
Menacing. Listen to it all the time. Warp is the king of music labels in my opinion.

I think they are.) sounds amazing.
So called, I think, because from the first note one feels a compulsion to blaze a doobie.
this song makes me feel like the entire human race is coming to a harsh and unbelievable realization...
We are the most terrible thing to exist
@@youssefbhaa2299not when you look past the surface level. Humanity is not the problem.
every fucking BoC song makesmy heart go weird, feels similar to when im watching a scary movie.. dont know why but i love it
Best track ever
2001 Space Odyssey anyone? Best MOVIE EVER!
+michaelb3197 go watch Interstellar
+Robert Dominguez it's interesting you say that but I wasn't impressed by Interstellar. It was more like an action type film and the story was too reliant on chance to be scientific. Was not impressed but thanks for the suggestion.
***** Between the video and the movie? This is footage from the movie 2001 Space Odyssey not Interstellar.
Sweet, sweet, melancholy!
go create nonameno! you have great feeling of the form and atmosphere. I love your stuff
Hal, open the door!
I put this song on at night. Very trippy.
Stay normal in a crazy world
Become crazy in a normal world
This song somehow reminds me of speed racer. Such a violent old cartoon
Wonderfully unsettling.

Trevor....smokes lets go!!!
idk y but everytime i listen to their music its like complete deja vu, and ive never heard in my life. :O odd
another damn fine BoC track
i found myself abruptly freestyling to this out of know where
SMOOOOOOOOOOOOKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
To me, this is BoC's most overtly 'evil' tune by far. Plus I think they named it after their mate ;) I wonder if it captures his essence...
@boogerking100 lol some of em, but there are those that stick out that are SO good, that its undeniable...
@Laurz1233 haha, yeah, boards of canada should be listened during night time, then you get the best experience :)
What piece was used from the Movie soundtrack? That movie had a collection of pieces by different composers - everyone from Strauss to Ligeti.
Does anyone find this song sad? It always puts me in depressed mood when ever I listen to it.
Best for drama's writes.
this is fckin trippy thing
It kinda sounds like your ears are popping through inter galactic travel.
It kinda sounds like astronauts working on the international space station.
It kinda sounds like a brain tumor pressing on your ears.

@gransoporo just wait and listen couple of times for a few months, you will see
@HearThemCry yeah, i think that means they're doing their job :)
Boards of Canada make the suffering so sweet that i want to die
Don't apologize, you have a right to your opinion.
I was just offering insight to my opinion as well.
@gransoporo you either feel it or you don't dude - maybe it's not your thing
dope
actually they are from Balerno just outside Edinburgh....
@rockluverx2 I think the entire Twoism album could be listened to at sunset.
i can imagine two children playing in hiroshima....after the ominous angel of death has fallen on it... but they find beuty in the wateland i tleft behind and they find a flower at the end amongst the shodows of former people and the graveyards of chared wod and buildngs and aash
@nonameno5 This was recorded in 95'
@wugalar i don't know, i quite like it :)
Top comments are so fucking deep...just cant handle....the...epicness.......GTFO dudes!
