boards of canada - the campfire headphase

a 100% quote of a four year old posting including the spelling mistakes. i am flabbergasted. don't you have an opinion of your own, am0n?

andrew b is my old login

Anybody ever figure out what that track was that had the sample "I was kind of on my own" in one of the fake sets with all the Freescha tunes?

never did ID this track - took me a while to realise it also samples the line "this is the promise of the tree of life" from the Star Wars holiday special.

andrew b was ethan

all right, now everything is crystal clear.

what have you contributed besides coming at my main man am0n sideways

just read the thread carefully, cutty & you will see...

it's still great but slightly yes than about a month ago. fading slowly away into the silence/past. i wonder if that has to do with the music ageing process they apply.

please elaborate on the music "ageing process"

they make electronic music sound brittle & old by applying some special techniques. in the beginning they used taping, then analog synths. iirc they copy samples so many times that the end result has got this warm, nostalgic, hissing sound. something like that.

not buying these special techniques

you know what my ipod shuffled to a minute ago? a remix of alex c of music has the right to children. actually it is more of an r&b cover. sweet.

SWEET BRO

dudes this album about campfire headphase is pretty nice
i like it

lol it was?

yes he confessed years later

on his banbed

Still *such* a great album - Satellite Anthem Icarus just filled me with such delight that I felt compelled to revive.

Much news on the new one other than the title?

This video is incredible. Watch it in HD if you can. The song is from the Japanese version of the lp.

Nice write up as usual sicko.

Are they even still a group?

As hinted in my intro, I suspect not, but like Orbital, they'll always be brothers, so who knows.

i had forgotten TCH was released almost 10 years ago already -- it feels so recent

Boards of Canada & Ctrl All Del – The Phasefire Camphead

The remixes are horrid.

wait a minute this is their best album

lol no

Yes it is

It's definitely in the top 5

well... it is

this and the debut are good, geogaddi is less good but people say it's their best to seem learned, tomorrow's harvest was a dirge, idk maybe the eps are ok, fin

Call me learned but Geogaddi = MHTRTC > Tomorrow's Harvest >>> Campfire Headphase

Granted I'd say MHTRTC is more consistently enjoyable than Geogaddi which is a rough and bumpy ride and has a few laggy moments but still works nicely as a record and a crystallisation of their... I wanna say 'ethos' or something

The production is exceptional but it's alcan be a little too redolant of knitted hat backpacker beats or something for comfort.

I always feel like this is the blueprint for Satellite Anthem Icarus - https://youtu.be/RS0wzDMfzOQ

IABPOITC > Geogaddi = Hi Scores = Twosim > MHTRTC >> Tomorrow's Harvest > Campfire

xxxp HA - so close!

I'm not accusing Joni Mitchell of being a knitted hat hippy btw, even if that may literally be true.

In a Beautiful Place is perfect as far as I'm concerned. A perfect EP

Campfire Headphase indeed strays into the kind of tame chillout / trip-hoppy kind of music that was popular about 5 or 6 years before it came out. I do like '84 Pontiac Dream though.

this might be equal to the orig

imago otm here.
kinda comforting to see dog latin continue his aversion. a steady rock in a world of chaos.

every few years I go back to In A Beautiful Place cause someone I respect touts it, and every few years I find it dull, monotonous.

yeah i recently discovered that Mira Calix version and it's really nice

In a Beautiful Place is perfect as far as I'm concerned. A perfect EP

Hear, hear.
