Boards of Canada- Spiro

Live @ Lighthouse / Track 3

[@Program7]

Notice: I distance myself from the artist’s obvious satanic belief. From now on this upload is only here to inform about that.

[@nevertheless3417]

So, I take it you’re going to remove this video then?.

[@Program7]

That’s a good question and i asked myself the same for a longer time. Because at the end (as a christian) i had only two choices. Either i erase all the videos or i do what i do now… and that’s to inform the people thereover. Me think that is the better option because this way i can maybe bring a bit clarity to the listeners.

[@Program7]

Really? And why they mention the devil clearly too much? 1. devil / a few old tunes (1996) 2. peace-tony-devil / old tunes vol. 2 (1996) 3. the devil is in the details / geogadd (2001) 4. the devil is in the details (reverse) / geogaddi (reverse) (2002) If i also count the voice in their one track named ’’you could feel the sky (reverse)’’ who say ’’a god with hooves, a god with horns’’ then we have them already mentioning the devil 5 times. Also is their album called ’’geogaddi’’ exact 66:06 min in length. The standard version of geogaddi does even have a file size of 666mb as well.

[@craichead333]

@@Program7 Wow, now it all makes sense 😶. Beats the usual conspiracy theories like 911 & the moon landings. Anyway, the Devil always has the best tunes 💥

[@Program7]

Well i’m not sure how much truth is by the moon landing conspiracy theory for i’ve honestly never researched that particular topic serious and alot enough. But i guess the fact that there is some truth to the 9/11 ’’conspiracy theory’’ is quite difficult to deny those days.

[@yomgaille]

"Look mate, I really have to talk to you" "Sure, shall we meet at your place or mine?" "Nah, let's go to a BoC concert, it SO much better for chatting"

[@user-ed5ix1sw6i]

As an Aussie, I can confirm this.

[@ncshuriken]

Thats how it is at any clubnight, not just with BoC nights lol. Its literally part and parcel of clubbing, you WILL hear people in the crowd, and often times (luckily, not this time!) you'll have an MC too who will be shouting stuff on the mic riling up the punters even more.

[@jeschergui]

I see the sarcasm and as I agree that all the constant talking is bad and constant, it is still become a part of this unique recording. As far as I researched then this tune doesn't exist in any other form. So, now when i play it... the talking is an integral part of it!

[@Lauli55]

@@jeschergui I find it nice how the tone of the conversation fits the general composition and buildup of the track.

[@gravijiga]

The proper thing to do would be for the people talking to comment their apology on this video 😡

[@jessfairbairn4722]

5:50 "Hey you got a place in the house I wanted! Barstard!"

[@valeriexvegan]

this is probably my favourite track ever, which is depressing seeing as it has not ever gotten a proper release on a boc album

[@agentoranges]

those flutes are outta this world. got my fingers crossed for a unreleased/rarities comp.

[@kylatron3892]

It's hilarious to think that the people over talking this concert must have thought "oh they will tour again for sure... " "i'm sure they are just a flash in the pan" But in reality it's the electronic equivalent to talking over The Beatles playing in the Cavren.

[@Chipster971]

KylaTron Boards of Canada tracks often have samples of people talking in them. I personally think it fits in with the BoC aesthetic quite nicely.

[@TyphonBaalHammon]

+Chip Agreed. BoC tracks blend better with being talked over than most music. Also, +Kylatron, the Beatles fans could get much louder than the people at BoC gigs.

[@kinderobi]

why not to talk if you feel like it? they seem like they are totally enjoying it...

[@Ferrichrome]

I welcome it. As a classical musician, I am upset that people feel uncomfortable. they can't talk during pieces. they can't clap during the music or between movements. I'm glad that with electronic music people are free to express themselves.

[@CaropBec]

Pretty sure it's just being picked up because those people are right next to the mic (maybe even the tapers themselves?). The sound would have been very loud, you need to shout in people's ears to be heard at these kind of shows so I really don't think they were disturbing anyone lol

[@modaroho]

voice is a sample taken from the beginning of the song " Chaka Khan - I Feel for You (1984). i like what they did with it !

[@jeschergui]

wow, i didn't notice that... nice work indeed. thanks for sharing this.

[@Rttps]

Every BOC track just sounds so beautiful

[@warris9010]

I wish this was on an album.. What a track.

[@AtlanticSpamHammer]

Unfortunately, only a snippet of the studio version has ever been released :(

[@jamesread-tannock7176]

I think they keep a lot of their favourite tracks to themselves

[@omarha7578]

where could i find this snippet?

[@connor48880]

Warp Infinite Also does anyone else find it kinda annoying that they keep a lot of their music to themselves? I get that it’s their music I really do, but if it’s as good as this? I’m incredibly interested in it

[@paleonneight5353]

This song would fit a lot on In A Beautiful Place Out in the Country

[@adrianabonifaciodelgado]

This is one of their best songs

[@PaulMcGinniss]

I was there, too. Got my minidisc recorder siezed on entry, though :0

[@djteq9]

I think voice is saying: "ok, watch it, hold tight, look out, thats it." Then it repeats "hold tight, look out, thats it". and the high pitch voice is saying "for you fall". Took 100 times to get it.

[@mater753s]

I think the high pitch voice saying "Beautiful "

[@DigitalForerunners]

It is saying my name

[@iphaneron9244]

Geogaddi - "Geo" - Earth "Gad" - Runs Wild "Di" - Again These boys were not Satanists, far from it in fact. They were just very clever, and they know how to make people like you uncomfortable.

[@Program7]

I don't deny that they are quite clever indeed with hiding stuff. It seems almost like they can explain every negative activity, with some simple explanation and the people buy it. But it is all not that easy. From where do you know for sure that they are no satanists? Can you prove it? I cannot prove that they are satanists, but nor can you prove that they are no satanists.

[@iphaneron9244]

@@Program7 you operate by fallacy, the reasoning you have to believe they are Satanists is called Argument from Ignorance, and is a blatant fallacy. You are the type of person who labels an Artist a derogatory term because they used their medium as a voice about the subject. Was Heironymus Bosch a Satanist because he painted paintings depicting his interpretation of Hell? No, he is just an Artist, using his medium to make commentary. The same way Boards of Canada used their medium to make commentary on the state of the world leading up to Geogaddi, specifically in reference to the Branch Davidians. You lack any type of wholistic understanding of Fine Art and allow religion to cloud your judgement.

[@connor48880]

Damn You need to write a novel. Your response is one of the most well articulated and best worded replies I’ve ever read

[@PopeRecords]

@@iphaneron9244 This my friend, has to be the best and well written response I've read to OP. To call BOC Satanist because they have a singular album based around the whole theme is so meticulous. You might aswell call anyone else one aswell if they name or make something vaguely related to the devil at that point. He's responded to posts up to a year ago, but not this one, I wonder why... Perhaps, you set a good example of a well worded and sharp-minded individual able to actually argue without insults. I've seen OP even bring up the fact the song "Peacock Tail" Is satanic aswell, what a Quack. As the other fellow Connor said, you should write a novel, this has to be so well written and wholehearted goodness behind this message to prove such a point that is well. Thank you for this.

[@sunny-cn2tg]

​@@iphaneron9244 i adore the way you word things

really awesome drums on this one

I will try and capture the drum track... it's too damn awesome

[@TRaddcliff]

I AGREE....ive been saying this forever. PLEASE DO AN ALBUM IN THIS VEIN.

[@Bankable2790]

Random 35 Tracks also randomly transitions at some point as well lol

[@ShadowShift7]

If anything, I think the people talking over their concerts and the low audio quality enhances the recordings - adds the perfect layer of distance and the unattainable nature of the past to it all. That being said, I'd love to hear these all proper... the stuff they were playing at these gigs is full of bangers. Where you hearing beats this hard in other boc?

[@summergypsy1]

This is definitely some of their best stuff no doubt.

[@orbitaloutcast9878]

It's like bacteria on milk, it's an essential if you want to age cheese.

[@djonanon]

One of the reasons there's so much extra noise of people talking, is that on the night itself the local government decided not to allow to open the main stage area. Since it was situated on the water side, the Warp party would be visible on the opposite side of the water where a bunch of corrupt bankers were having their own fetish party. Therefore the capacity of the venue was almost split in half... with the same amount of people inside. It asked for a huge improvisation from the organization, artists and security and also the guests had to deal with this (obviously) overcrowded situation.

[@caseystu123]

Gotta love the fractured vocal samples. Really gives it that bop

[@Sektion9]

I WANT THIS TUNE ! It's seeping into my utmost desires.

[@orbitalforest]

Damn i'd love a studio release of this , absolutely epic !

[@DimitriSmith1290]

Honestly I think it's kind of a cool addition. BoC have random voices saying stuff you can't really make out all the time in their songs.... it seemed fitting to have it at their live show too.

Dangerous levels of cope

[@Skyfaux]

How did I not know that boc came out with a new album this year until reading these post. Today is a great day.

[@bobbygnosis]

Looks like China. I can't be sure. There were a lot of caves there eons ago that collapsed and formed strange looking mountains. This is why Chinese watercolors of mountains look so distinct. They look like this photo for geological reasons. I do want to be sure to say that I'm only pretty sure that this is China. I don't know for sure. Peace.

[@seankemp9706]

bobbygnosis I've seen your comment on another video. You have good tastes my friend. I would also like to add that canola flowers blooming is a big thing in a region of China. Which the yellow fields here remind me of

I love the ambient British conversation at the end. It sounds uni students on a night out together from a shared house 'you bastard, you got the room in the house I wanted..I hope that's the only reason she chose you'

The most disappointing thing ever happened to me is finding out this absolute piece of art and notice that there is no studio version

[@jdoggybizzle]

It's almost as if BoC followed me around my childhood with a tape recorder, recorded all the sounds, ran them through a TR-808 and instant music. I love this stuff.

[@jimi1999uk]

I know the randoms having a convo near the end is unment but i really love it tbh. Chatting about houses and art school and stuff. Convos of youth :)

[@Program7]

No, i'm not in any association with the track. That track is namely from the ''warp lighthouse party'' (14.10.2000), which is a part of their discography. Same like some other parties such as ''warp10'' (05.11.1999) or also ''all tomorrow's parties'' (07.04.2001). Those parties contained some tracks who were never released on their albums and this track is one of them.
