Now that the game is no longer for sale - and we have jointly exercised our consumers' rights - we would like to leave you with one very important thought: Sometime in the future, you may have the opportunity to serve as a juror in a piracy case, or a so called "intellectual property infringement" case. It would be wise to remember the same people who would stop you from playing Super Mario 64 may be back next Direct to DMCA a skin, or even a romhack. If you can be told what you can download or change, then it follows that you can be told what to purchase or backup. Defend your consumers' rights; no developer will do it for you. Thank you so much for playing my game.

This is fitting on so many levels. Brilliant

Actually uncanny how through this soundfront I can 100% hear this theme being an original BOC song. Their sound is just magical

[@gavinthecrafter]

Now I'm imagining Bowser's castle theme covered by Radiohead

[@YK_EX]

This somehow sounds even more nostalgic than BoC or the SM64 OST respectively. Really love the Telephasic Workshop-esque drums. I'd love to hear something more Geogaddi inspired, perhaps Lethal Lava Land.

[@oOBeagleOo]

I've listened to it once or twice a day since it was uploaded. Boards of canada are my favourite group and Dire Dire docks holds such a deep deep spot in my 8 year old heart. It feels like this video was made for me personally.

[@splashy69]

this is so amazing i love this comment

[@musene]

I never thought I'd hear on4word make a cover of a song where 64 games weren't the soundfont. But this is gorgeous

[@camdensinner7697]

Was screaming in anticipation for the drum break, this is absolutely bonkers, stellar job dude

[@DRUZYDAY]

I love this. Boards of Canada has a particularly mellow post-apocalyptic sound that is also calming and sweet, and I think you've nailed it here. If it's alright with you, I'd like to use this in my next video. :)

[@on4word]

Go for it!

[@DRUZYDAY]

@@on4word thank you!

[@Jestinace]

The in-game version is breathtaking in it's own right but it's hard for me to surrender honestly to it as I associate the track with positive memories. Hearing this version, with the main melody of the track sounding like a Kid A/Boards of Canada underwater synth, I was brought to tears. In the video game medium, it's hard to separate the idiosyncrasies of the art from the fun that you're having when you immerse yourself in the virtual experience. However, if you step back and view this piece from an objective viewpoint, then you can start to dissect and consume it the way you would an album or film - what emotions does it evoke?. What kind of pain or feeling was the composer attempting to navigate when they wrote it? Where did they have to take themselves? An aquatic dreamland? A paradise where the sun is always setting? The embodiment of a fleeting happy memory - and the creeping feeling that things will never be the same again? Thank you for this thought provoking experience. Very well done.

[@MisterGuy_]

that drum sequence reminds me of telephasic workshop

[@Mister32]

When I first started listening to Boards of Canada, it would play in the background while I played Minecraft, so it has a very strong association there. With that said, something about dire dire docks fits this personal aesthetic perfectly. Thanks for sharing 🙂

[@lptotheskull]

C418 has suggested BoC was an inspiration for his work on Minecraft, so this is quite fitting

[@PSpencer]

I used to have MHTRTC and Tomorrow's Harvest in the background when I was playing my world that had a nuclear post-apocalyptic resource pack. I think it was called Last Days. Such fun times :D

[@ov3rm1nd]

This is the best rendition of… well, anything ever

This is the natural evolution of this concept and yet I find myself entirely surprised and enchanted by it. Also, this is one of my favorite video game tracks of all time, and I'm EXTREMELY picky about covers. Most of them don't do it for me. But this captures the spirit perfectly. Seriously amazing work you've done here.

wow. just wow. I completely zoned out looking at the trees out of my window this balming spring day remembering that red coin challenge in the liminal space of all liminal spaces of a self contained aquarium enclosed in what is essentially a clocktower in the sky while this was playing. So this tracks for BOC.
