Boards of Canada - Dayvan Cowboy

[@RozoraMusic]

On June 6th, 1969, Harold H. Boards, of Canada, attempted the highest skydive in history. Jumping from a Diving Station attached to a helium balloon at 39 kilometers above sea level, he reached a top speed of 1,357 km/h, becoming the first human to break the sound barrier outside a vehicle. Most impressive, however, was the fact that after he deployed his parachute and descended toward the Beach at Redpoint, he swapped out his space suit for a swimsuit mid-fall. He then pulled out his surfboard, dropped in, and began to shred the gnarliest of waves. During a subsequent interview, Mr. Boards was asked to rate how thrilling his experience was on a scale of one to ten. His answer: "Sixtyten"

[@dmtBOKE]

First Upload in 11 Years!? This is exciting times for sure.. Thank you guys so much for everything. I'm a music Producer from Scotland (Close to the Brothers) and i have been obsessed with their sound ever since Stumbling Upon it after one of the Songs off my Album was Compared to them. At First, I was upset that someone would even compare my sound to someone else, as I thought it was Unique.. Boy was I wrong. I found out that day that not only was i not the first to make these types of sounds, but someone did it WAY better, many years ago within a 15-mile Radius of where I was born. Sometimes, the Universe has the most amazing ways of Humbling you while at the same time Introducing you to new levels of thinking and new unqiue blends of sound to soak in. For anyone who's wondering: I Did try to find them, many times, I tried to contact them or find their Studio or something - but nothing. These guys truly are Ghosts, even in Scotland - And I admire that so very much indeed. THANK YOU GUYS!!

[@Distance2Jupiter]

I think there's a lot of music makers searching for their own Dayvan Cowboy. The universe is fickle and humbling, as you say. Perhaps we'll never find our own. But we have to keep searching.

I honestly don't even think they uploaded it, they just so happened to upload something when they hit 100k? Most likely something music channels do when they reach a milestone like that, it would be weird for BoC to like AI since it would go against everything they stand for

[@sinhuemh]

For us, the whole point of writing music is to get something infectious onto the back of the listeners mind, something that feels so personal you couldn’t even possibly convey it in words to a close friend. There’s a sort of knowing connection there between the listener and the musician that ordinary language would never be able to achieve. -Michael Sandison

[@SongJLikes]

…and I’d say they absolutely nailed it. I hope we get more of their work to be able to experience

[@Chubbywubbysandwich]
