Hey people, I don't have the access to the bennicoke account anymore but I came across all those kind responses today for the photo and the edit! Just wanted to say thank you, it really makes me happy! I was a teenager when I uploaded this and didn't really understand much about music production, it was all about feeling it. When I listen to this edit now, which is pretty messy with digital overdrive and a poor reverb tool, I love it even more cause it was so simple! It was pure love for the beautiful sound of BOC! :)
@@Josue-br7tr thank you! I didn't had the nicest teenage years, I was worried everytime about everything but at night all this noise got quiet and Boards of Canada made me leave the house. Whenever I listened to them I wanted to go outside and discover secret places around my hometome with my bike. I had some beautiful adventures out there cycling through the midnight darkness, like watching fascinating moonsets or finding myself in a rain of shooting stars. Sometimes I took the camera with me to keep some memories. This shot was taken at the airport nearby. I liked the rhythmic lights and to watch this really loud place from the silent distance but with my headphones on listening to Boc, Aphex Twin, Autechre, Plaid and so on. I like this photograph now cause it reminds me of the beautiful moments during a dark time. At night I felt like I could go wherever I want, it was a feeling of freedom and this photo of me reaching my arms out captures this feeling quite good. It reminds me that I'm capable of finding beauty out there even when life doesn't seem to be beautiful at all.
I listen to this almost daily. Its like sitting somewhere very high up on a hot night in summer, and a cool breeze caresses your bare shoulders and sends a shiver down your spine. You are alive and at peace. What a beautiful life this is.
Did just that eleven years ago. Drunk and high, no future plans, no goals in sight. Living on borrowed money, distressed and paranoid, but this song calmed me down. Even when the amphetamines going out the system as every bush was tricking me, every move was law enforcement or friends and family. I was ashamed of life, of my upbringing and on my intuition. Now eleven years later, I’m a father and I have good economy and plans with my partner in crime. I’m alive and at peace.
Definitely Roy.............. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
BOC has been a part of my life for over a decade. This song in particular. At my lowest, I listened to this on repeat and it was one of the things that got me through. Now, I listen to it and it’s bittersweet. It stirs up those emotions again but this time it’s different. I reminisce on that time in my life and I am thankful that I am still here. Music is powerful and I am thankful for the ability to share the same sentiment with so many other people.
Same feeling here, it’s bittersweet but the better kind. I had a rough episode in life about a decade ago. I thought there wasn’t any hope for me but time moves on, time floats away and time eases the salt from the wound. Just like BOC. Hope you’re ok pal and thank you for sharing.
I'm so fucking glad I discovered boards of canada a few days ago. I wouldn't say my life is at risk but it feels like their music saved me at least the littlest bit. I'm glad I exist in a time that is shared with BoC, even if they don't release another album...
The photo in the video makes it all the more overwhelming, not forgetting the whistling in the crowd that sounds like whale calls. I'm pretty much frozen in awe right now.
It's the absolute contrary for me. Seeing what human can do, notably with BoC and this track, makes me think how much human is stupid, wasting time doing war, and other stupid shit. Long live BoC, long live humanity
@@VeganDefinition being human is cool. It means that you can actually understand the universe to a certain extent, and are able to ask great questions, and make Works of art. Instead of being completely clueless, and living a Short and painfull life, like most creatures on this planet do.
In my opinion, this is the greatest song ever created in human history. The beautifully designed synth & chords to the field recorded park with children playing and adults chatting is.. indescribable. It's simple yet it makes you feel every emotion, but at the same time you stay in the middle. It's sad but happy, you think about the past and future, however, above all else, it takes you back to the present. This is the song of life.
ive been listening to this for years and i just always come back to it. the way the audience starts off talking and screaming and whistling and slowly gets more and more quiet and attentive as they realize theyre listening to something otherworldly is amazing
He saw someone recording.. And in my estimation, it is the person whose recording we are listening to… as the voice seemed to be directed towards the device, ie. the person holding it . If that is the case, then I’m very glad they did NOT “switch it off.”
If there was one moment in time i would like to visit....this would be it. And who else feels like crying their eyes out to this piece of extraordinary music (and reading the comments too btw) : ) I still maintain BoC were a one off, and it both makes me so grateful to have appreciated them, yet saddens me deeply the more time passes.
Near Freiburg? Don't be shy, I was there in my childhood and still know some people there. Very open minded, friendly and lovely. Have patience and try to enjoy the beautiful landscape of germany. Keep in mind, that it's an advantage to be new there. I sometimes wish I just could move anywhere where noone knows my name and start a new life.
5/12/24 - 10:12pm I moved away from my previous life to the desert. I will return enlightened with different perspective and for the first time, both hope and goals for myself. This transition, like all major ones, fills me with a mix of excitement and uncertainty. Yet, deep down, the future I envision for myself is beautiful and sweet. I am sitting in my desert apartment on a particularly warm night. A gentle breeze is keeping me company and a cricket is singing just outside. Be well, friends. I wish you all the best in this adventure.
@iestooo I actually did this on the cliffs of dover in england. I started to cry out of the sheer swelling of emotions from the crashing waves, the rolilng clouds, and all the tiny people below getting on the ferry to france....
& I can't stop listening to this track its so amazingly beautiful. Very emotional for me, but calming at the same time. Something about this is very amazing.
I want to meet up with likeminded BoC friends to listen to BoC, chill in nature, have good conversations and enjoy life! Lets make it happen ❤ Im from The Netherlands but I can easily drive to nearby countries. Much love for you all!
When I hear this, I think of after working on a hot roof on a high rise or something, just sitting back back with my buds, drinking some cold ones, and thinking, "Wow.......look at it all......life is beautiful." Thanks, Bennicoke
"The camcorder over there?" "Yeah?" "Telling him to switch it off." "Jeez...." Very nice version of this song. I like how you edited out the beginning. Either way, I still love this song with all of my heart.
@@jasper374 that and the fact that this doesn't exactly fit in any of their albums, maybe with some tweaking this could've been a cut on the campfire headphase. Since it's been leaked from their live show though, I dont think we'll ever see a release.
@@jasper374 That's understandable, but why not share it for the public? Knowing it could potentially make others enjoy it too, perhaps even improve their lives, their time on this rock. A track this good, should be shared.
i'm really pleased the download link works now, when i tried before it was still megaupload and of course that's no longer usable, thanks alot for the edited song, fave track off this album and possibly of BOC's
When i listen to this song, i close my eyes, and my imagination takes me away to a parallel universe. One where i am at peace, one where i have good times and bad. And when i finally open my eyes, i feel refreshed, peaceful. And so really, by listening to BoC, i can make the parallel universe the same as mine - peaceful.
Yes. it's good too. But this song, this picture..when I'm listening, and watching..it grabs my heart and my deepset emotions inside. It's a funny feeling when music make you feel this way
@justinianianian I can see a really cool music video idea coming out of that thought of yours. Thats so cool you said that. They go contemplate life, their lives, their families lives, our lives, the lives of innocent animals who don't deserve to be scared and torn from their families & hurt & possibly killed by a nuclear bomb... & the politicians & corporations come back from the woods, etc. with a whole new spirit & outlook & hearts & then a fat BoC type beat kicks in & everyone gets along!!
this is so fucking beautiful. Maybe all the corrupt politicians and heartless corporations could go take a 2 hour walk in the woods with this song on loop. I bet they couldn't help but change for the better....
@QUIZFILTER & damn, I just rea your other comment about the cliffs of Dover & crying & now I'm getting emotional, though I already was when writing my 1st comment. Fuck! :) & when I mentioned the innocent animals it made me remember these commercials that we Americans see on TV about adopting homeless animals & seeing their scared worried faces looking at the camera & they're shivering probably because they'd been beaten & wondering if thats what the camera mans going to do... now I'm crying.
its 1pm on a saturday, i'm studying for a biochemistry course. study meds probably kicking in about now T:15... This track plays as i melt into my study desk
@splittermusik The difference is that you dont hear as much of the people in the crowd shouting like drunken when they should be quietly appreciating this beautiful piece.
Hey there, I made a second edit of Echus and cut away the annoying voices. It's downloadable as 320k mp3 on megaupload. You'll find the link in the description. :)
@davidevgen No, not for this song. It's from All Tomorrow's Parties 2001 but on the CD release is only the BoC Song In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country.

makes it more BoC than intended

The Most Amazing and Sublime piece of music ever heard by human ears
Incredible concert.
Had no idea how rare an occasion it would become at the time.
You were at this BoC show? What was it like? How was the setting?
I don't want this to end.
never.
Man, the download still works 11 years later. Thanks for that one.
The background picture really suits this slice of pure bliss!
I find it a gift that the algorithm gives me this every single morning, probably because I’ll go to it regardless
the reverb on the audience is so nice...
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard...I love you, BoC.
This could last forever.
legend says the guy at stage 2 was never found.
I'm complete now
They did create perfect music with one single sound and its intonation , unbelievable!
The slow hue shift throughout the video is quite tasteful and fitting
burned the last photo of my ex I had to this. Strange, the power of music for letting go of yourself. The fumes smelt really nice actually.
My man...
Ji plug pu melon nai.
If there was one moment in time i would like to visit....this would be it.

This reminds me a lot of their song "Corsair"
Kinda similar isn't it.
Corsair is i think my favourite track from Geogaddi.
Many would probably disagree, lol
i'm glad you decided to edit the audio man, this is the only version i listen to now... healing stuff
& I can't stop listening to this track its so amazingly beautiful. Very emotional for me, but calming at the same time. Something about this is very amazing.

play this at my funeral. Im not kidding.

Because they make music for themselves not for the public.
Many great unreleased songs are made privately for friends and are released long time later
