Boards of Canada Bootleg BOC track remixed by Machinedrum

now reproduce forest moon!!

This is quite nice. Hopefully he'll do more.

Great work! The next best thing to actually hearing the track in full quality. I especially like how MD integrates the audience sounds as though they are a part of the actual track. This is one of my favorite BoC tracks as well, along with Spiro from the Lighthouse set. Someone should recreate that one, I've thought about doing it occasionally.

*applauds MD*

I like that he left it the original live length. this will get played a lot this weekend.

thanks be again to the machine drum.

aye i look forward to cranking this right up when i get home. the original is a belter!

the drums seem to lack that BoC grit and punch from what i can hear but i'm hoping it's down to these headphones.

You know, I've always thought (since I've listened to this bootleg hundreds of times over the years) that the audience member who says at the very end "What a treat!" was right on the money. He's someone who properly appreciated what he was experiencing there: in so many of the other live recordings, there are people talking about mundane things. I can just hear the big smile on that guy's face. But I feel that way with this reconstruction. What a treat--thanks machinedrum, whoever you are.

this is the part that makes no sense to me. Wouldn't the only reason to re-create the track be to remove the annoying chatter?

to me it sounds like the same chatter as the original. i think md just kinda polished up the track. not really a remake.

Normally I'd agree, but BoC's music from this era had lots of incidental chatter back-masked into the tracks themselves as well; so even though we know it's the audience it still works in a sense. If it were me I would've removed the Samsung ringer and voicemail sound that happens about a third of the way in; was surprised to hear he'd left it.

to me it sounds like he's added some beats, and that snare drum which makes it sound a tad 'dub steppy'.

so it's a bit like sounds like a remix/additional production by md... slung back in time and played by BoC, live, 13 years ago.

I might be wrong, though, I haven't actually listened to the original live track in some time. :)

It's a very fine-tuned redux; the drums just sound 'reinforced' to me; as though MD picked his samples VERY carefully to match the existing drums and gave a little liveliness to the high end and some depth and definition to the low end (without losing that live recording feel). Also sounds like he carefully reinforced some of the melodies in there as well and made their respective stereo field more defined.

This is phenomenal. Props to MD. Coincidentally, I happen to be wearing my BoC shirt as I type this. Thanks for sharing! :)

i really appreciate this re-edit.

Love this edit. The mood is spot on and not over the top

this is frustrating the piss out of me, I'd like to hear his version without the original source sounds in.. cause as of now it sounds like he barely did anything. I also got excited at the title implicating an actual remix but o/well

Holy shit, this is awesome. It's like someone unearthed a soundboard recording... massive props.

RUINED

Er, did you try comparing the original file to this update with an at least decent pair of headphones? Night and day.

Sweet.. but fuck the 110M aiff file...here's the soundcloud mp3... Firefox is good.. SC8akE48jBI9

He did a really amazing job with this edit... much respect!!

What a treat! Always loved Machinedrum, this only furthers the love. Mad talent.

Makes me laugh when I see him look like this though. I mean, c'mon man hahaha

Well, he at least has a brandable image regardless.

i remember when he was releasing back in the day he was quite young.
