Unofficial Boards of Canada Doc on Youtube

[BlodwynPig]

Really good piece of work with plenty of new information...I'd almost forgotten they ever existed it's been so long.

Watch right until the end, the last few seconds...!!!???!

Cheers Blodders. Boards of Canada soundtracked my lockdown, I found them the perfect combination of closely comforting and yet expansive. I'll give this a watch.

A lovely piece of self-effacing art, that. Boards of Canada are surely heroes to anyone worth their salt, and able to create a mystique almost impossible in modernity.

Glad you enjoyed. I thought for a fan doc it was handled really well, was informative and evocative of their aesthetic. What did you make of that final 2 second clip?!!

I skipped right to the end (will watch it in full later). WTF?

[Pauline Walnuts]

Would watch but for that really dated music they've got in the background, it's like one of those early 2000 Channel 4 documentary on funny looking penises or something.

Yeah, I also liked how some statements were qualified with things like 'in my opinion', a refreshing change to annoyingly bold and very arguable statements made in many mainstream documentaries. That there are 6 largely unheard albums is so tantalising.

As for the last few seconds, no idea. Possibly some reference for superfans who spend a lot of time on BoC fan sites.

Did you ever get round to watching Pretend We're Dead?

bloody hell, I'm a bad CaB-buddy, if Gove/Cummings/Boris allows, I will try and make time.

Or those moments in pre-2000s where a TV programme would be suddenly interrupted by an odd / eerie and unrelated insert that causes unease in the viewer.

Thanks BP. Enjoyed this for the most part and learned some bits and bobs. Always a pleasure to see enthusiastic amateur stuff that doesn't make you want to launch the tv at the wall like a lot of commercial docs

Aside from all the interesting bits and bobs, what it left me with was a sense of awe at just how many incredible little melodies they created/sampled. My personal favorite is that in Kaini Industries
