I am deeply in love with this ad, ever since the first time I saw it on TV. I was 4 years old, I didn't even know who BoC were and who Chris Cunningham was yet, but even back then they inspired me so much with a simple 30 seconds commercial. And watching it years later and realizing who made it just blows my mind. It's still as riveting as it ever was. The music, the editing, it just makes me feel so good, I can't explain it.
A slowed-down version of the playful melody at the beginning and end of this commercial can also be heard in the bridge of the BOC song "Sixtyniner", around the 2:35 mark.
So weird to think this was made in 2000. I think Boards of Canada is better than most music that has come out this past decade-it still sounds like MUSICA EXEMPLAR. Someone needs to carry the torch. You can never know what you will miss until you miss it.
@ayexrockstar It's "a is to b as b is to c" off Geogaddi. If you listen from "35 seconds in. I have a feeling they use an amended version in the TVC though.
The bit at 0:18 is like the end of Kaini Industries. For those of you that don't know, it is a BOC song, off of Music has the right to children. buy it.
Wow, sorry.. I just realized it was DiCaprio when I saw the poster's comments. Oh well, I guess if it wasn't DiCaprio then he would have a striking resemblance to him..Silly me.

I absolutely love the subtle inclusion of a number station sample at the end .
Amazing add,
great actor, director, cinematography, and music!
We used to be a great country

I knew i'd heard it before
I think i molded my coping mechanism on this ad.
THIS IS ME EVERY DAY IN THIS DIGITAL AGE
greatest meet up ever. Dicaprio, Cunningham, BOC
& Telecom
you can hear the same notes in the track "A is to B as B is to C" of the album named Geogaddi :)
I remember this. I didn't know at the time, but this was the first time I watched a Cunningham shot and listened to BoC
And that's why Chris Cunningham is a genious. GOD, his commercial are so great, sell the product SO much and, well, are so god damn gorgeous!
can't wait to see Chris Cunninham Live in London in June at the roundhouse who else is up for that one.... never seen him live this is gonna be sick!!
And how was it, 13 years back ?
@MrGarzul it's short for Boards Of Canada, an electronic music band
great ad... I love Dicaprio, nature, BoC + Cunningham.
wow beautiful
this is the best advert there has ever been holy shim!
Still think about this a lot
Looks like Arnie Grape's learned to be respectful to insects.
@sixamsedna It can be found only on a BoC bootleg called "A Few Old Tunes". It's called "5.9.78"
BOC composed music especially for this commercial. And this tune can't be found in one of their albums

@ayexrockstar You're correct sorta. It can't be found on any of their official albums. It's on one of their many bootlegs however :)
@spoon3100
Thank you very much!! I have found this live set and it's pretty cool.
Campo Imperatore, Abruzzo ❤️
@ayexrockstar
that is soooo soo depressing. This is one of those gems, it sounds so ethereal
Was about 10 years ago. End '90 years, in Italy, new age was becaming a bit more popular. This spot was an example.
Now It’s 21 years ago. Time flies. It’s a peculiar thing.
@ayexrockstar It's "a is to b as b is to c" off Geogaddi. If you listen from "35 seconds in. I have a feeling they use an amended version in the TVC though.
LONG LIVE BOARDS OF CANADA!
There is a Telecom Italia commercial directed by Tony Scott with Marlon Brando and Woody Allen.
Not commercially available but partly sampled into A is to B as B is to C.
@sixamsedna Not true, it's "A is to B as B is to C" from Geogaddi. If you find the track listen to it from 35" seconds in...
@ayexrockstar
BOC played this tune in a live set.
" 03_BOC_-_Live-07-04-2001-DPS "
the sound quality is not so good tho.
cheers
"A is to B like B is to C"
The man looks like Leonardo DiCaprio.
can anybody ID what the BOC tune that is before 0:18 ???
i want the song too
@sixamsedna It sounds like one of the many versions of 'A is to B as B is to C' that Boards would have made, it just sounds very similar :P
Awesoem!
Dont care wat others thinks!
@spoon3100
please please IM me a link to this song if you found it
@ayexrockstar Who is BOC?
The bit at 0:18 is like the end of Kaini Industries. For those of you that don't know, it is a BOC song, off of Music has the right to children. buy it.
When did it come out?
@19thecure90 strange thing is that i've got that song on my MP3 playlist.... and i don't know how it got there....
Been quite a while but do you still have it?
@charglo It's a play on words like like James Joyce.
Just a bit of fun don't worry about it.
it's a segment of ''a is to b as b is to c'', from the album geogaddi
"WHATEVER..." xD
What movie is that from? Titanic. Lol
This is how it feels to touch grass.
I sensed a bit of Gucci flora commercial.
is that boards of canada playing?
Yup !
Wow, sorry.. I just realized it was DiCaprio when I saw the poster's comments. Oh well, I guess if it wasn't DiCaprio then he would have a striking resemblance to him..Silly me.
