boards of canada - roygbiv

2020 UPDATE: O_O i made this video in 2006. then forgot about it. then forgot my password. but now i remember...
fan-made video of roygbiv by boards of canada.
footage from 1980's uk tv adverts.

[@juanjuri6127]

on the odd chance there's any non-chileans wondering about all the chileans losing their shit about this song, there's a mediocre college in the country, Universidad Santo Tomás, which is mainly (or solely) known to chileans for two things: 1. going with this absolute banger of a theme for its advertising 2. its founder dying after accidentally setting himself on fire while murdering a guy and trying to pass it off as an accident

[@quirkypurple]

Thanks for explaining. I thought Santo Tomás was some KZbinr. Boards of Canada's music turns up in weird places.. like BBC produced animations like Monkey Dust and some documentary I saw about the Grinder killer in the UK.

The first time I heard this song was on a flight to Disney Land when I was 6, on those old airplane music channels. All throughout the flight I kept on waiting anxiously for this song to come back so I could listen to it. Then I landed, and never heard it again, but it kept on comming back to me every now and then. Twelve years later, when I turned 18, I found it by accident. This is my love story :)

i love how this song makes me more productive and efficent

[@christianbeaumont5318]

My whole life and professional career has been draped around this; even before it was made. So lucky to see it all put together, music, video and perspective in one harmonious form. My god this thing rocks.

Damn, this video definitely inspired some vaporwave down the line. This is like proto-vaporwave.

[@paulgenevzki2477]

It's possible. Here's my hypothesis: ambient >> techno-ambient / "IDM" >> from speed-funny Aphex Twin to this slow-mellow by Boards of Canada >> Oneohtrix Point Never [OPN] works before he was joined the infamous Warp Records. OPN made a quite smooth transition from the Tangerine Dream/BoC naked synth style to his other projects such as Eccojams/KGB Nights/Games which 1980s soundscape was heavily inspired and these also gave inspiration to many early vaporwave artists. After you watch this [roygbiv], I recommend you to watch "Ouroboros" by OPN, both gave me nostalgic feelings when I spent much time in front of a TV with funny ads and corporate jingles.

you like this one? check this (maybe not quite so proto vaporwave, but damn): kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYLYlZ2rds2BiJY

Don't forget hip hop and soul's influence on vaporwave - the genre is very similar to hip hop's chopped and screwed substyle, and vaporwave prob wouldn't exist without the soul samples it uses

Get this song randomly stuck in my head all the time, even without having listened to it in ages

[@QUIZFILTER]

Tuna1989 Yes, good call! I totally agree with you... this, to me, is the classic video version! I just told the uploader a few minutes ago how glad I am that this video is still here available to enjoy.

[@funkdakarma]

I can't put my finger on why, but BoC always reminds me of my childhood. Especially because I started listening to them in my late-20's

[@bambi1476]

I've been watching this video for years; I've probably seen it a hundred times or so. I always thought it was their official video. It's the absolute most perfect compliment to the song. I can't even tell you how much I love it. Where in the world did you find these clips anyway?

[@supershan00]

true

[@MrGleboPedo]

this video was upload 10 years ago, i doubt that youtube was big enough back then, so probably those clips were found elsewhere. That just proves another time that this music video is a masterpiece

[@tomio8072]

archive.org has so much stuff you can download and use as most of it is in the public domain (meaning it can be used by anyone for free)

[@kaboom20153]

Please keep this song alive (I have finally found this song after 5 years)

[@guillermomasiasalom7339]

This song always makes me think about all the important (bad and good) moments of my life...This song is a masterpiece.
