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
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..
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 sounds like the feeling you have when you're lying in bed with a high temperature, and you get this kind of dizzy, hovering feeling, almost hallucinating.
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
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 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.
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.
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...
@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.
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.
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
+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.
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.
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
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.
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....
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.
this track's great in my opinion and I believe _Boards of Canada_ are excellent at utilising repetitive sounds with subtle changes to create an overall implicitly threatening tone. the constant droning effect of the music, coupled with these visuals, makes me picture a slowly spreading disease.
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

I had that too while my second thought was the cow from minecraft in 0:40. Especially I was playing the whole album in a stormy dawn.
Yes I agree this feels like having a fever
it does sound quite terrifying, this song is so sinister

Nothing's as beautiful as music
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?
@@Bismvth he means the film
Big Smokes Quantity
The best track to accompany my DMT trips period.
This reminds me of "Idoser"

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
Always get strong images of a character exploring the ruins of a city left desolate by nuclear war.
As pretentious as this might sound- Boards of Canada wrote the score for my all my vague memories.
Retro horror movie meets 70's educational projector film.
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.
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
I agree, this is a beautiful piece of music.
love the quantize of the drum and the drum on general,the kick,hihat and snare
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.
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.
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.
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!
that's what it's all about a world inside the beat's

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.
Without a doubt, one of my favorite BoC's. This song paints an impressionists picture of a trip through a dark swamp.
Original sounds from Boards of Canada. The only heavy downbeat music I ever listen to.
Stay normal in a crazy world
Become crazy in a normal world
@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.
@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.
I can picture this being played on an Adult Swim bumper
boards will always be there for ya. drift off and never look back. into the future i go.
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...
war in reverse anyone?
@HearThemCry
and this is exactly why we all love BoC :)
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...
This gave me nostalgia AND sensory overload at the same time..
laying in bed with high fever and this feeling of moving while not moving, that's what the tune makes me feel like.
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.

I am Smokes Quantity and as a result I am Iced Coolly.
Wonderfully unsettling.
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.
To be honest, this song is badass.

I could recognize the video. It’s from Space Odyssey.
well chosen visuals
So called, I think, because from the first note one feels a compulsion to blaze a doobie.
Sweet, sweet, melancholy!
Hal, open the door!
Best track ever
Funny trippy stuff. I love it.
Don't apologize, you have a right to your opinion.
I was just offering insight to my opinion as well.
@Laurz1233 haha, yeah, boards of canada should be listened during night time, then you get the best experience :)
@boogerking100 lol some of em, but there are those that stick out that are SO good, that its undeniable...
Does anyone find this song sad? It always puts me in depressed mood when ever I listen to it.
every fucking BoC song makesmy heart go weird, feels similar to when im watching a scary movie.. dont know why but i love it
What piece was used from the Movie soundtrack? That movie had a collection of pieces by different composers - everyone from Strauss to Ligeti.
I put this song on at night. Very trippy.
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.
Menacing. Listen to it all the time. Warp is the king of music labels in my opinion.
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.
@gransoporo you either feel it or you don't dude - maybe it's not your thing
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
Trevor....smokes lets go!!!
This song somehow reminds me of speed racer. Such a violent old cartoon
i found myself abruptly freestyling to this out of know where
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.

idk y but everytime i listen to their music its like complete deja vu, and ive never heard in my life. :O odd
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 think they are.) sounds amazing.
another damn fine BoC track
Boards of Canada make the suffering so sweet that i want to die
SMOOOOOOOOOOOOKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
go create nonameno! you have great feeling of the form and atmosphere. I love your stuff
@gransoporo just wait and listen couple of times for a few months, you will see
Best for drama's writes.
@HearThemCry yeah, i think that means they're doing their job :)
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...
this track's great in my opinion and I believe _Boards of Canada_ are excellent at utilising repetitive sounds with subtle changes to create an overall implicitly threatening tone.
the constant droning effect of the music, coupled with these visuals, makes me picture a slowly spreading disease.
dope
this is fckin trippy thing
If you like this kind of music then you'll dig my stuff
wait, that was 2001? I could swear it's from the original Solaris. Maybe a mix? I might just be tripping.
@japark85 i live in AZ. its a fun state.
This song has an infectiously sombre atmosphere.
@rockluverx2 I think the entire Twoism album could be listened to at sunset.
