Why do most of these sound off
Thanks. "Hiscores" (one word, as distinct from "Hi Scores") is one I've never heard before but absolutely love.

Dandelion ❤
This is like my childhood subconscious memories in music. Hazy, dreamlike, extremely beautiful. It's a similar to the feeling you get when looking at certain images of liminal space, but much more evocative.
I've been listening to Boards of Canada for years, and thanks to this kind of mix, I still discover new tracks. BOC is like an iceberg
boc is the original iceberg
its a really cool surreal feeling. to think you know something inside and out and still be completely surprised. kind of like having those childhood dreams about hidden rooms and portals around your house, and years later finding out they really were there.
It really is I’ve never heard this first track from BOC
🔥🔥🙌🏽
@@pablosotomayor7570 BoC are the hydrogen and oxygen molecules that formed water. The water is something far greater, as it contains the combination of the two. After a brief chemical reaction - ice crystals formed. These are the pathways in which nostalgia and wonder traversed. That ice eventually became THE Iceberg.
And so it was...
I first discovered BoC in 2017 and coincidentally at the same time I overcame depression. Their music boosted my healing
identical story for me in '06
blessings from boards
I have been listening since 2007 or so and I have to say it just gets better with time. Sometimes I may go months without hearing them but when I do hear BOC it's like seeing an old friend.
I listen to them in this moment for the first time and it's magic. Brings harmony inside me☯️🌌💚
Hey man! Happy for you. Blessed are those that have not experienced that affliction.
Isn't "9.5.78" such a beautiful track - the individual melodies meshing with each other so perfectly...
I think someone used the intro in their vid on BoC and now I'm finally hearing the track
It’s stunning isn’t it
It sounds like its got some sort of complex algorithm
Their best track in my opinion... Excellent
Some sounds remind me those sounds you hear on a patients bed at a hospital. Feels like waiting by a person you know
Boards of Canada is a spiritual adventure.
Ok
Facts
25 years after hearing them for the first time I am still as enamored by their magic as ever. This has never happened before, and might never happen again. And it is okay.
Haha i feel you… i been listening for over 17 yrs and still listen to full albums. So good !
100%
Same here. ¼ of a century
Used to have a sleep mix that consisted completely of "I will get it tattooed" and "Aphex Twin - Rhubarb" on repeat.
This is perfect music to eliminate road rage.
These are bringing back memories of 2005-2009 when I listened to BOC after bartending and just chilled in my apartment stoned and a little drunk floating away!! Also they are great to pass the time by on a bus, road trip or while walking, biking or working out while using good headphones or over car speakers!! The best! This is like math electronica the people who turned me on to them would say, but I just find it to be very nostalgic, comforting and slightly disturbing, but in a good way. lol I was born in 1982, so this music sounds like old 70-80's movie soundtracks, commercials and trippy vintage lofi synth sounds layered into a beautiful dreamy sound!! Love this mix you made too! Puts the music in perspective, as I had the albums memorized and it's nice to hear them all mixed up like this!
So glad you enjoyed:-}
There's a mix in the related videos for this one of unreleased tracks from 2005-2009. =)
parts of our souls.
nailed it
@@ineedstuff8286 Thank you! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
27 years this Christmas Eve morning my Mother passed very suddenly in our home, I dread this day and have done for 2 decades and more, I found this mix yesterday and knew after the 4th piece I could get thru tomorrow peacefully. Thankyou and many regards guys, an antidote to negativity.
So great to hear
peace to you
Words cannot describe how much I adore Boards of Canada.

i was playing a game that's essentially solitaire with this in the background. and it felt like the most cosmic, melancholy experience of my life. just goes to show how powerful this music is, fuck man
I don't know why this music makes me feel so emotional. I think there's something to the repetition in their tracks that forces you to be more introspective, hard to explain it
Boards of Canada helps me remind myself that no moment is uninteresting or meaningless.
The same person that makes cringe videos actually has a good taste in music
lysergic wonder
this comment is stealed
BOC is the soundtrack of life! Discovered them one late night in the nineties, I woke up and the cable community board was using Left Hand Drive as background sound, I recorded it. BOC is best listened to when zoning out staring through the trees from your hammock watching horsetail clouds.....I feel the presence of now. Most of BOC's music is not meant to replace or saturate, it just pushes open the door of your reality a bit to help you let go and realize you're alive. Thx for posting!
Timeless music as we cruise the galaxy on this rock together yall. ❤️
Man I'm not even Christian or anything, but that intro makes me so happy for some reason. I feel a little weird about it, but still.
hear it after all of geogaddi and it's like a cleanse dude it's weird
i'm areligious too
The Boards aren't Christian as well, but I think that was indeed the intended effect, that religion even to an outsider can inspire a strong feeling of human connection and some ephemeral sense of meaning.
I don't like the song that much, it reminds too much of the damage that religious indoctrination on the very young can have, and I'm glad it wasn't on the normal release of Geogaddi. But it is an interesting art piece
Some of the "religious" parts like the children saying prayers (Tony Schwartz Records the Sound of Children 1970 Folkways Records) is juxtaposed to references to the Branch Davidians and unsettling Satanic references, especially in Geogaddhi (which is 66 minutes, 6 seconds long), so you are missing the underneath layers that are about being highly skeptical, even horrified by religiousity. I almost feel bad pointing out these things to you, where you've detected the innocent, childlike parts, without realizing disturbing parts. BTW they've also sampled dialog from porn films. BoC is definitely not Christian, although feel free to play it in your local Church group!
The children talking about God at the start had me teary eyed, pure and innocent.
@@ELECTR0HERMIT those on the right hand path react the same way as OP. We recognize the children's purity and innocence and thank God for it. It doesn't really matter what some Scottish cultists think about it lol
The two previous comments are not the meaning, but they are the point
@@duckspeakeasy Or maybe the idea is it sounds so wrong to hear children talk such nonsense, and you really understand that lost adults are the ones even passing this on to their children, it is not natural, or logical, or realistic. Purity and innocence are before the children talk like this, when their ideas untouched might sound a bit more open minded, and less constricting psychologically. Sounds like the right path, but maybe the far right one lol.
It almost made me change the song, but I listened until the rambling was done, and I started reading comments to see if this was a religious band. I honestly was in the other room and I thought it was one of those freaking lame "he gets us" commercials lol.
@@vindsvalrpdx whenever i see that add i can only see he get sus
Best damn BOC mix out there. Love the usage of rare obscure tracks intertwined with each other. I almost consider this an album of its own
Everything you do is a Balloon is a masterpiece. I spent a lot of time coming down from a trip to Nepal before returning home to Manchester. I felt really alone during that time. This track made me feel like it was okay being this way and that everything (really) is alright.
Wow 🥰
I always thought that song was pretty dark actually.
tout a fait d accord ce morceau est d'une profondeur incroyable, c est un peu comme plonger en apnée , il y a de la magie transcendental dans ce titre everything you do is a ballon , un chef d 'oeuvre , c est vrai !
That inversion of dandelion syncing both ways is fkn superb
What does this mean/time stamp?
contrary to what I read in the comment field, Boards of Canada never evokes feeling of nostalgia. For me, it is steel-cut and meticulously engineered images of an exciting future, with strict lines, spacious accommodation, slightly blunt but rational arguments. Very good stuff.
Its so beautiful and inspiring that such music exist. In our superficial time its priceless to know that real art exist, not for money or someone approval.
What’re the odds I’d be recommended this. Brilliant stuff mate 👍
Growing up in the 60's and 70's with the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Company), I saw and heard many National Filmboard of Canada short films and documentaries. They always had a very specific sound and so much of what BOC created just makes me feel like I'm going backwards in time - and yet forwards at the same time - and it's brilliant. I love these guys.
This is one of the best mixes one can ever find, on any era, genre and style..... the atmosphere is fantastic, for a Boards of Canada fun, we here some standards, but then they manage to mingle unknown gems of tracks and a few concrete specials to suit the mood!!!
BOC is one of my favourite bands, very good tunes they play very good.
BoC was a light during dark times. Thanks for the mix
boards of canada has been one of the few constants for the last 21 years and has been a light during multiple dark times for me fr lol
yeah this music is palpably uplifting... terrific stuff!
Ahh, today is post ketamine integration day and look what the universe just served up .Good day everyone, the magic is always there if we are looking to see it . This is so great , stretching, moving my body , slipping into revere . Thank you for posting!
Yayy!!!! Congrats!! Jesus Love U. Many kisses xx
absolutely magic. love the flute in the middle. so beautiful
Their music evokes a strange sense of nostalgia for the mid-to-late 1970s, the tail end of 20th century techno-optimism. During this era, it still seemed possible that institutionalized social science, medicine, and psychology might rescue the planet's parasites from their own worst tendencies. Not coincidentally, this was also the period during which we discovered and began living among them.
Since much confusion about "children" remains, I would like to make clear that this term typically refers to the smaller, less developed meat-things, about which the larger units frequently become sentimental. For what it's worth, I once replaced the lower jaw of one with a mechanical apparatus by the movement of which the small creature might appear to "sing along" with certain tracks. The moisture of its eyes was quite affecting in this context, though the sounds it emitted rather ruined the effect.
Lovely mix though...
very inspirational. grateful for this mix and forever grateful for Boards of Canada
This is a truly sublime mix that has become a frequent listen and an important underscore to life's mysteries ... thank you.
I remember buying MHTRTC in 1998. At first I wasn't overly impressed, just thought it sounded like a minimal version of Black Dog's "Spanners" which came out 3yrs previously. After a few listens & especially ROYGBIV I got it.
isn't it weird how some music doesn't hit you right away?... I chock that up to the difference between mindless pop music which is, generally speaking... a mind-control exercise in IMMEDIATE gratification through tried and true chord progressions and heavy, in your face processing... meant to sell a product and keep you addicted... trouble is, the mindless average music listener will never reach deeper levels of satisfaction from chords and structures which take the subconscious some time to process. I notice stereolab did that to me alot (and there are countless examples). I was lisening to some strfkr album and dude, the processing was absolutely spectacular... but the chord progressions did not click right away... the more i listened the more and more I could finally feel the chord progressions and anticipate them... such a great experience. I will say though, the simple structure and melodies notorious of corporate pop, are still enjoyable styles.. only as long as they come from bands you never heard of :D
the sophisticated way BoC flashes back memories of analog era broadcasts' aural quality is such good company for creative work
Tomorrows harvest was an amazing release …. I think boc is due for another huge production ( heres hoping)
aha gd luck
I’m with you on that one!
Still Gem Release . Correction .
Their music makes me feel like I'm never where I want to be.
Pff I feel ya, and that stings and that's also nice or something hahahah melancholy mayne 💚🍂🍁🍂
Good, because then where will you want to go? Live with the the summit in sight
quite the opposite for me, makes me feel like i'm exactly where I want to be
You're listening to BOC so you're exactly where you're supposed to be
Everything in its right place @@Jacob-2796
Listening the first track on lsd was the most beautifully intense experience ever. I get goosebumps every time that I’m thinking about it
whitewater melts my head everytime
The reversal bits with Dandelion, the ending of Whitewater were very well done :)
I often use this list for doing work.
me too
I first discovered BoC in 2016 and coincidentally at the same time I overcame depression. Their music boosted my healing
Guys we need to stop this channel, this bot is commenting on lots of yt videos
@@jesuscm1398 exactly
omg, thank you for making these mixes. it gives me so much peace and happiness!!
In The Annexe is really relaxing
I actually loved this album while been playing it during a driving at night.
There will always be new music to be made. Just when you think it's all been done before compositions like those from BOC come along.
This is really a dope ass mix. Big props to OP and mad props to YT for recommending this 🖤🥀🖤
Found BoC after grabbing up Meat Beat Manifesto maxi single that they had a remix on. MHTRTC had just come out, so I grabbed it as soon as I saw the cover because of how much it reminded me of when I was little in 1983, and the family photos of my brother and I. It struck a chord that no other music had at that time.
I also bought MHTR based on the cover alone, knowing nothing about them. Been in love with them ever since. Best lucky choice ever.
I've been listening to Boards of Canada for years, and thanks to this kind of mix, I still discover new tracks. BOC is like an iceberg
since 2016 or 2017? did it help with your depression? unlike bots on the internet?
@@philpeep this bot shits everywhere
Whitewater is like remembering a roadtrip from a past life.
Love all the songs you chose for this. Good taste.
I've loved Boards for many years.
Me too
I would buy this in a heartbeat.
This "In the Annexe" to "Echus" transition is insanely good.
Best BOC mix I’ve heard so far👍🏽
2022 and I listen to this while I work, I can log in for work and listen to "Hiscores" on a loop and never tire of it.
LOVE
Damn this cover of Echus is perfect!!! ❤
Hiscores is so so good
My BOC journey began '98 after wondering into a FOPP in Glasgow and asking what was being played. The rest is history. Love it.
what's FOPP mean?
@@zeejustin6 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fopp_(retailer)
Beautiful mix made of dreams, feelings, and wonder. :)
5.9.78 is often used in the wavywebsurf videos.
as always a good ole black cube.... agghhhhhh it s f-ing everywhere
It's funny, I saw a cube too.
I discovered BoC by accident and they are really wonderful.
Happy little accidents are all we have
Same the algorithm blessed me also with this gift.
I will never become bored of listening to BoC. May you live happy, for that I am grateful
Dandelion (reversed) at 18:30 takes you on a journey, beautiful!
The 2nd track of this song makes me cry everytime. Literally.
thanks to whoever uploaded this mix online and made me discover the track called 19:35 Highscores, a beautiful, wonderful track. There is also another Boards of Canada song with this name but it is decidedly different.
i just cried lots of times with board of canada.
This helps nearly everytime I have trouble falling asleep, thanks
Great selection, been listening a lot while working recently. Thanks :)
Fantastic mix, thanks for putting it together.
Excellent Electronic music album!
Thank you for your service
this mix feels how ive been feeling life for the past couple months
Played this album during a Road trip through the Mojave desert to Vegas. That was intense.
Espacial, son como ondas en el cuerpo y en el espacio. Hermoso 💚
This is amazing 🤩 turned my bad day into an awesome day thanks 🙏
I do so wish that this were officially part of the BOC catalogue. I'd be first at the record store.
PS : Thank you for the upload!
Hiscores is just...so damn good, makes me wanna turn my speakers up as high as they go unlike a lot of BOC songs. Wouldn't have found it if not for this mix, great work!
BOC is life.
Il coule de cette vidéo comme un rêve de fièvre brumeuse de vieilles légendes et de campagnes inachevées. C'est à la fois subtil en arrière-plan et demande de l'attention. Musique translucide
Many thanks 🙏! That’s how I fell most times during my day… the problem is that it creates an anxiety state so I get in a loop. I think this will help me.
Omg this mix is absolutely perfect!!!! Thank you!
that poppy seed one is like the background music to something epic
Balloon is my favourite electronic track ever
Whitewater is so good. One of the best.
BoC for me is complete misteriously weird and attractive music. They're aliens and ghosts at the same time. I feel myself like a moth flying towards electric lamp but in diving to abyss speed and it's never gets closer. Hard to explain stuff in my head when I'm listening their music. Thank you dude for this mix💖
Muchas gracias Gaby por este selección de melodías💜
I have been listening to this mix every single day on loop for prolly a month... i just NOW noticed Under the Coke Sign... that song is AMAZING... i have IT on loop now. So weird, I did not hear it or notice it playing ever..??
8:32 Although not a follower of David Koresh, she's a devoted Branch Davidian.
Wonderful brother, thank you....
beautiful 😶🌫
19:31 love that Hiscores mix
Remember first hearing BOC on the John Peel radio show in the mid 90s, hooked ever since.
I love how a lot of the tracks on this mix come from boc's earlier albums. I find Old Tunes way more nostalgic than their other albums. It wasn't refined or edited thoroughly, not to discredit their studio albums. It radiates pure emotion, and a lot of the tracks show
what a phenomenal mix
Super mix, thanks. nice on the campfire lag
Meravigliosi BOC, viaggi della mente
fu*k yeah! oh man! Good job! this is gold i didn't even know it exisited
