Nice video but i dont think the album did well like mhtrtc. I listened to it once on mp3 😢and didn't even open the record. It's on the shelf. I listened to mhtrtc a thousand times.

When i was a kid on the internet and when I read "Boards of Canada" I thought "get this hipster shit outta here" just when I was about to listen to The Campfire Heaphase unknowingly when someone I met on here showed them to me. That's when I fell in love.

Excellent work on this.

This video hit me in the feels...

I love this album, I'm very friendly with it, and I can only suppose I will understand it even deeper as time passes on...

The only person in their league is Ott.

These ARG games are a lot less exciting when you appreciate that they weren't hatched by the artists themselves, but by digital marketing teams working out of an office in Shoreditch or whatever.

its my fav album by boc, even though it has acoustic samples its still trippy and deep af

I've known a fair amount of Godspeed fans over the years, and they all appreciate the band as a whole. That said, those that prefer F# A# and Slow Riot are generally darker, more pessimistic folk who also listen to Crust Punk and Doom Metal, Anarchists and horror movie fans. Those who favor Skinny Fists and later tend to be more nerdy, artsy people who listen to a lot of Post-Rock and appreciate the music more than the vibe. I'm definitely more towards the former...F# A# is one of the most powerful albums ever IMO, in any genre. All of Godspeed's stuff is exceptional but that album is just special.

Great ans rare band. Bravo! What about Autechre, which is another few one? 😊

Fart rocker

I love BOC, but please stop it with the cryptic etc b.s. , just release the album

I remember that day when a guy at Other Music recommended this album that just came out. Music has the right to children I miss that place

It's marketing. There. You're now up to speed.

There's no one else like BoC, and there never will be ... Every single release is a masterpiece, one way or another, and will we get another ...?, indeed ... The main thing, to me anyways, that they excel at, and which is what makes their music so memorable, is in their mastery of melody and counter melodies. Current, similar music, or anything in the nostalgia space, don't even come close. I'm sure their relative isolation plays a part in this, in addition to their raw talent, or channeling, if you like.

Thank you so much for covering GY!BE, this was sick

I also *think* I remember some sort of snippet played on [adult swim] for Tomorrow’s Harvest. Didn’t see that mentioned?

Thank you for making this video, it made me feel the hype I had back then ❤

reminded me of the marketing for the movie A.I.

is that Bo Beats?

I have a feeling in my psychic acid bone that there will be a new Boards Of Canada album in 2025. We need a proper soundtrack for the end of the world.

I really enjoyed it <3

Campfire, in the car, driving along the coast at night, but, in a beautiful place out in the country e.p is topper most of the popper most. ✌️

I saw them about 2-3 weeks after 9/11 in Toronto, and during the gig, they played film visuals throughout their set. The most penetrating was of a group of people standing around watching a controlled demolition of an old Apartment or Business Building. It was so bloody prescient, as the mood even before the film was heavy due to the violence that the whole world just watched. But the weird thing was after the building falls, everyone ( in the footage shown), just turn around and walk away like they were now indoctrinated by some mysterious overlords. Kind've like us Patrons at said gig, listening to the soundtrack of an apocalypse, all dazed and only shaking it off when the House lights came on and the Stormtroopers came in and mopped up our Beer cups, Joint Roaches, etc. Where they found this visual piece, and then decided to use it basically mere days after 9/11 was brilliant and of course shocking, and shook me to the core. Genius, without an ounce of pretension.

I could be wrong, right, (or both) but wasn't the song played in 28 Days Later from the E.P Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada???

I live in Canada and we were forced to watch dozens of creations by The Film Board of Canada. From how Maple Syrup is harvested, to bizarre takes on the Natural world, even Sexual Education stuff; this was in the 80's, fucken didn't even know what a Computer was other than say Pitfall or Frogger on an Atari. They bored us to all hell, but when MHTRTC was released I ( at age 22) had an weird, intense, reactive nostalgia for the strangeness of education during the transition from child to teenager, the awkwardness of fashion, hairstyles, masturbation, and the almost forced indoctrination of boy + girl= Baby. You wonder how Gen X was so full of neurosis. As the looming push for us to become productive members of Adulthood and its responsibilities. Because of one record. This one here. BoC and Plastikman changed my whole consciousness, without a lyric in sight.

Really fucking with that creepy Number Station craze that went wild in the 2010's

Cop Shoot Cop’s first lines reference an amazing song by John Prine called Sam Stone. Shows how despite this being a British psyche album he is wearing his American folk influences on his sleeve.

loved it

BoC is the most boring band

Quality.. thank you for making this doc

I don't think he invented ambient music. At the time when Vangelis was finishing his work on "L'Apocalypse Des Animaux", Eno wasn't even in Roxy Music. I regard Vangelis' album as the cornerstone of that genre.

Is it divisive, though? I've not done any deep research, but a quick look at their wiki page suggests largely positive reviews. As far as I knew, it's held in high regard. I mean, it has their biggest 'hit' Dayvan Cowboy. If anything, I'd have said Tomorrow's Harvest was their most underrated, as that one takes a bit more time to sink in.

The Campfire Headphase is their best album, very underrated

I think you miss something essential. There is a spooky nostalgia for things you have never directly experienced in BOC. But surely there is something deeply wrong in childhood too. Something has happened, and it is deeply unsettling, as if the nostalgia is for a time in a cult where children were actually not safe.

When this album came out and I had it in heavy rotation, I was living with a girl with whom it was pretty clear it would never work out in the long term, but it was a lot of fun while it was happening. We would drive all over the countryside of our state and neighboring ones, taking pictures and camping, then developing our work at the university darkroom. It was effin’ magic. This album brings it all back, so I can only listen to it occasionally.

Wonderful video. Boards of Canada endure even to this day, they are timeless, they are enigmatic, and they continue to inspire us in many ways.

love this video, love the aspect ratio

My fav BOC album.

If you’re interested in looking at another enigmatic artist well known for their ARG work, check out Deathpact. They’ve had a very interesting history with this kind of thing since 2017.

BoC = LEGENDS This was awesome.

I'm amazed that anyone had time for this! Bravo to those that did and followed thru!

I love BoC and this showed on my feed, nice video 👏

Tomorrows Harvest was one of the last CDs I bought on release

BOC is goat’d for this. I went to Mount Dolores on a pilgrimage after all this happened just to see the site. Boards… come back we need you

Nice...

I was just thinking it would be amazing if they came back one more time. Can't say I loved the last one

This album was the soundtrack to my life during COVID. Learning to drive while listening to this on CD in my moms car and seeing the empty and desolate roads around the city will forever be a core memory of my teenage years.

I was there, what a trip. I remember when we got the full code and typed it in. I still have goose bumps thinking about it!

Ooof, I remember. I was active on WATMM at the time. It was a bad time for me but I love the album.
