the boc didnt even contribute to the recreated disc either.

hell even the Ae put some werk in for this one.

and to round the whole thing out...Steve Beckett's picks are pretty weak as well. cept' for drane.

Am I wrong in thinking these are covers not remixes? I'm just really fucking confused, as I similarly expressed in the aphex thread.

You might be right; I just considered them to be remixes, but they might indeed be covers, which I don't see the point of instrumental covers, as that's basically muzak.

You know they will all have a unique twist put on them.

It appears these are 'cover versions'. Whatever that means:

I think I'll wait until those tracks snake their way onto the interwebs.  I'm not that interested in Warp as a label, but I would like to hear those tracks.

i liked bibio's remix of ted (clark), so hopefully he'll do a good job of kaini industries

How'd Bibio make Kaini Industries last for 3:40?

Bibio + Boards of Canada

As many of you may have seen, Warp are releasing a deluxe box set to celebrate their 20th year.

 

One of the goodies in this box set is a double CD of 'Recreated' works - Warp artists doing covers of Warp artists. Despite being the new kid on Warp, I was invited to contribute. I had for a long time always wanted to do a Bibio version of 'Kaini Industries' off Boards of Canada's flawless epic "Music Has the Right to Children".

 

The original track is a short track with a timeless mono-synth melody jumping about in an extraordinarily beautiful way, and followed by an even shorter warbly evocative vignette of flutes and clattering wood, like lumberjacks' footsteps on the planks of jetties. (That's the picture in my head anyway).

 

But I'm sure you are all familiar with the original.

 

If not - what are you playing at?! Order MHTRTC immediately!

 

What started it off is that I wanted to learn that melody on a synth/piano keyboard a long time ago, and curiosity led me to practice until I got it down.

 

The Bibio cover is building on the original melody-trunk and sprouts boughs and branches off it with chords and harmonies.

 

Right, time to ssshhh.

 

Here's the track list:

 

...

I like his sincerity... A++

holy shit

yay :D

I was up late chatting with a fellow BoC fan the other night.

 

We were discussing that BoC is not just music, but it always points towards something ultimate and mysterious. It's impossible to say what that is, but it's palpable in their music, photography and films. Even when they do not create the photographs themselves, the discovery and presentation of such images, sounds, quotes or films seem to contain their consciousness. My friend said that they must have some form of cosmic consciousness and I couldn't agree more.

 

I think when I first heard the campfire headphase, I had massive expectations, a fault that I admit to being my own, and it affected the way I received that album in a negative way. I was one of those geogaddi obsessives who enjoyed hunting for meaning and messages, spinning the record backward and at different speeds, but only because I knew it was there, and it was intentionally provoked. So, greedily, I wanted more post-geogaddi.

 

There is an art to listening as well as to making, and what I have learned from Zen has made me reconsider how I hear albums. Hear it now, without dragging a past, without expectations, hear it in its own light in its own moment, not as a comparison.

 

Campfire seems to deliberately quieten after geogaddi, steps back outside into the fresh air and, perhaps, meditates. It still contains that pointer towards the mysterious, but it is not so concentrated. Geogaddi seems like an overwhelming psychedelic experience full of introverted claustrophobic entanglements of fractals, spirals and wholetone outlandishness. Campfire is like when soberness has started to return and you are staring into the fire, recalling perhaps, but the profundity and mystery is residually echoing around your mind as it begins to settle into its everyday condition. So if there is a link between the albums, it seems to be that.

 

I listened to campfire start to finish yesterday, no distraction, no analysing, no expectation. I felt like I had been on a journey, I felt like I had witnessed a whole day and night, or perhaps longer, maybe years. I felt like I had been on a road trip, looking out of a car window, waking up in a tent in the morning, and then in the latter part of the album, somewhere up in the clouds before watching the fire die and smoulder into a micro landscape of black and orange shimmering waves.

 

I was looking through the photos on their myspace, even they have this powerful indescribable wordless message that I became familiar and addicted to back in 1999 when I first heard MHTRTC.

 

I can't rate them highly enough. I don't think anyone has ever done what they have done. At surface level you may hear hip hop beats, synth melodies, vocal samples... all of which have been done a million times, but it's not those elements I talk about, it's what's between them, or within them, and I don't mean literally intervals, syncopation or timbre, those are but a vehicle for something far more mysterious that, as far as I have found, is only present in their music.

i love bibio and i like his sincerity, but i think he has it the wrong way round - he's perceiving TCH as better than it is because of his love for the band. i listen to TCH about twice a year now. geogaddi is still a 9.666 repeating/10 album though. that last paragraph is spot on.

i can't wait to hear what he's done with the track

likewise,, they've gotten in to some bizarrely stupid stuff lately. I mean, have you heard the Hudson Mohawk stuff? W in the F?

plaid covering plone might be good

I don't think that's quite it either, though.  For someone whose musical background is based in guitar work, TCH can be very impressive, as opposed to someone whose musical background is based in synthesizer score from movies made in the 60's and 70's.

i know you're on about bibio, but still, nice of you to make assumptions about my musical background (hint: guitar)

so previews....
