Boards of Canada - Sleep Mix

[@nakedflames]

for the last time, i did not put the ads here or on any of the mixes myself. they contain copyrighted music, meaning youtube puts ads on them automatically to give the revenue to the label owners.

Thank u so much

No usb I imagine! Make a quick search for a cd burning free software, should be lots of them. Then just download the file and burn it ;)

[@adamantportraits9514]

Boards of Canada's music, especially pieces like these, is so humbling. At the same time as making you think about the world, space, universe and how insignificant you are within it. It can also make you feel so important, so lucky to have the chance to live for your period of time. Knowing I am with all of you here, listening to all these beauteous sounds and enjoying them, makes me a happy person! Thank you BoC

[@SFLENN]

+Adamant Portraits Yes, me too!

[@brandonluco]

I can't help but to feel the exact same way.

[@MrIcecolddd]

Couldn't have said it better, it's a pleasure to be here with you all.

[@patrickcompton1483]

this is exactly the feeling the music of BoC instills. Tipper's ambients are pretty inspiring too tbh.

[@JamesVanDeWaal]

For me it was never cosmic. More a disturbed palimpsest nostalgia where memory really is an old wound that can be relieving to experience but dangerous to delve into. The horror of postmodern electronic reflections on the idea of reflecting.... That kind of thing

[@tmanmatt213]

I'm thoroughly convinced that BoC and Aphex Twin are some of the greatest artists of all time.

I listened to this on my phone in bed, really put me in the dreamy mood. I love it on fullmoon nights; when the moon is so pure white, and it's at the right angle, I can see it from my bedroom window and the shapes it casts through my curtains in my room. It stirs night-time imagination as I melt into my thoughts, and thoughts entangle into dreams.

I’ve listened to this playlist since you made it. My music taste is very diverse. From country, drill rap, pop, rock, pretty much anything. But boards of Canada is different, and it goes beyond art, it’s pure nostalgia. I don’t know how they made these busted tape machines and old keyboards carry so much emotion

[@albinohopper45]

[@XJDesigns1]

Great choice of their ambience. I will visit this often. Thanks for sharing!

[@mjbyrne1153]

Thank you so much for making this playlist. I have been going back to it for going on 3 years now. I sometimes wonder if you can see the usernames of those who are listening and see my name and think "this dudes' back again." But this mix goes with everything. I work to it, do homework to it, read comics to it, do dishes to it. It's always there, thoughtful and explorative. And it often just makes me wish I was doing something exciting on the forefront of science. But for now and probably tomorrow, I'm just an average joe who loves to daydream---and this music makes the perfect soundtrack.

[@meaning-mcmeaning]

[@robertbudtxu]

never got to listen to that Lp /though i kept it with me for months... carried it around with me wherever i went ...eventually i stashed it in old black leather suitcase (along with several other notes...), meaning to get back to it . / when i went back about a year later ... the Lp had been rained on... it had a musty smell and had greenish gold mildew growing on it...but the actual vinyl disc record looked fine ... hey, suffer the fools who want to dis Boards of Canada ...In a beautiful place we would all like to be where they are...

There is something about Boards of Canada that is ... hard to explain. Almost some sort of a religious experience concerning music.

[@maxims086]

[@maxims086]

The feeling of nostalgia translated into music.

[@marshallemmet1366]

The band is into the occult, just look at geogaddi.

[@Wil_Dsense]

Yes, for sure, but not Religious, pretty sure you mean Spiritual... their music exists in an elevated eternal realm.

[@Kukashkin]

If you're choosing just one BoC compilation - make it this one.

[@TheWinterShadow]

If you are choosing any BoC compilation make it all of them.

[@DaftPunkFan43v3r]

I've been listening to their music for almost a decade and all I can say is that Boards Of Canada reached something that goes beyond art and music, they're a state of conciousness for me and the reason why I say this is.. you can have all of their gear, their sound engineering techniques and you can even compose melodies that match theirs but there's something beyond the music that no one else can match.. if there's really a greater wisdom and understanding about existence then Marcus and Mike had a grasp of it. I've listened to dozens of artists that were inspired by their music (and even tribute albums), artists that most people consider similar to BOC but no one else can capture the mystique of their music. To me it feels like there's some kind of spirit(s) behind their music that inspires all kinds of emotions, memories and thoughts.. spirits from nature/existence that whisper into your conciousness through the melodies and rhythms that Marcus & Mike create and somehow they're the only ones who can have access to them (the only one that is on par with them only sometimes is Aphex Twin imo, he's the other one who has access to this). I think this is the closest I've been to describe how unique their music is no matter what. There won't be enough words to describe how life changing was their music to me. There's incredibly good artists out there and you can have all of them but BOC is truly one of a kind for me and their impact in modern music is probably the greatest of the past 20 years... they alone created the idea of ​​nostalgia for past times in music that everyone is using now from Underground scenes to Pop music. They alone cemented both sonically and visually this idea since the mid 90's to mid 2000's and then everyone else came after. While everyone was looking to the future at that time Marcus & Mike were looking to the opposite side getting inspiration from what it was, what would have been and what could not be.

I find the album 1979 by Deru to be another sound with a visceral viscosity. And throw in the albums Venice as well as Endless Summer by Fennesz. Finally, another singular album that holds a special place in my heart - Ovalcommers by Oval. Like a rocketship of ecstasy 🚀. Do yourself a favor and don't even compare it to BoC. Just enjoy

[@camilocienfuegos2866]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm a therapist and I often play this mix for patients, many of whom have remarked on the calming quality of the music and sounds...you've helped a lot of people by putting this together!

[@tsunimokitr]

This is by far the best BoC ambient mix I've ever heard. If I ever have the chance to meet the Sandison brothers, I would like to shake their hands and thank them for everything they've done. I'm sure the guy who created this mix, would want to do the same.

[@nakedflames]

yes definitely

[@Freakyros]

I'm mostly quite sceptic about people editing/remixing and even mixing Boards of Canada, but man... This is pure beauty... The way you put these tracks altogether is uttermost stunning, however.. I find the transition between You Could Feel The Sky and Kaini Industries a little bit odd. Their atmosphere doesn't really sound the same to me. But that's just a personal opinion. You made a true piece of art, buddy. Congratulations and thank you so much for making this.

[@Wil_Dsense]

Good comment, agree but with the Transitions it's all about context. If 'You Could Feel The Sky' was followed by Kaini Industries directly on the album Geogaddi, it would sound very out of place. IN the context of this mix, it works fine for me.

sweet mother of god, this is absolutely perfect. i have a hard time falling asleep to BoC normally because i find myself becoming nostalgic whether because the tune reminds me of a childhood memory or to when i first discovered their music and would consume it 24/7.

A year later and I still jam this AT LEAST once a week. I even downloaded both parts from the link and merged them into one continuous hour and 28 minute song and even shaved off a bit to fit it on a blank CD so now I can even listen to it in my truck on long drives.

Boards of Canada...Their music is just a mystery in itself. A sense of nostalgia - even if those feelings are for something that never happened to begin with. On top of it, you can't help but relax, or become..entirely sullen. As a few comments have said, it can make youfeel one way or the other. It's always a mystery in every piece, there's always more to their music every time you listen. For me, this is my friend. BOC Music is always my friend. The friend that doesn't go away. It's always there...

Kiteracer 2 is outrageous.

[@420dopethrone]

Kiteracer 2 is their saddest, most haunting ambient piece in my opinion. It has always reminded me of death and stillness, and the impossibly unavoidable attachment that we have to the world inside and out of our minds. It sounds like a representation of our inability to disconnect from the world we find ourselves in, and the naivety within each attempt we make to understand what life and death really is. It's like the sound of being in awe over our child like state as the human race. Amazement, confusion, love, courage and fear, all swirling in our liquid electric dream states.
