Boards of Canada Bootleg BOC track remixed by Machinedrum

"I've always been a massive fan of Boards of Canada (if its not obvious already!). 10-11 years ago I stumbled upon a bootleg recording of one of their extremely rare live performances at the Warp 10 Birthday party in 1999. The closing tune at this show has always remained a mystery to me. As far as I know it has no title and has never been released. It's quite possibly one of my favorite things they have done and really is a shame it never came out. You can hear the original bootleg recording (quite bad quality) here :

Fast forward to Summer 2012... Since I am a huge nerd I decided to take this bootleg recording and re-produce it for fun. Using the recording I laid new drums over the existing drum patterns (almost 100% accurate to original), replayed some synth parts and the bassline. The only thing I didn't try to re-create was the original vocoder parts and some random samples so I used the original bootleg recording for that. I was tempted to make a shorter 4-5 minute version but I figured I should preserve the original piece in its intended length.

Downloads limited to 100 (sorry I still haven't upgraded my account). I do not claim rights to the original nor do I intend to ever sell this. Not sure if I'm violating anything or not with Soundcloud so grab it quick!"

The default download link has run out, but I guess it's been blogged and you grab it from here:

I believe it's fine to post this since it's a live recording?

Awesome, thanks for sharing it!

that machinedrum is a good lad

This is weird (more of a re-creation than a remix), but I'm not gonna complain.

Yeah. I'd edit the title if I could.

This has always been one of my favorite unreleased BOC trax. It is so ahead of its time. Props to Machinedrum, one of the coolest cats out there right now, imo

Great re-work (re-edit? whatever...)

Props to Machinedrum for not only the track itself, but for freely sharing it. I like how he shared his story about why and how he made this track instead, I dunno, releasing it on vinyl with some silly alias in order to produce a lot of needless bound-to-be-anticlimactic speculation.

Well done. I like the idea and approach--there are a few other unreleased gems that stand to use the same treatment.

Ahhhhhh, well done Machinedrum! good idea. great tack and a good recreation. Thanks muchly.

(I think i'd prefer it if it didn't still sound so live and like the original and was a 'proper' remix. but this is very nice anyway.)

Booom! lol

Finally something BoC related worthy of a thread.

well that explains why now you know sounds like twoism. loving this, btw. i wish he'd release a version without the bootleg backing track, just his work.

I like this, but would be more interested in a Machinedrum style footwork remix of it.

if it was somebody unknown who upt it, and it was like this, ie. good. then people would just speculate on who it was... and was it really BoC, and so there must be a new album on its way, yadda, yadda, yadda,

that's what would happen.

indeed, this is genuinely good
