Basically, they loved Sesame's Street as the childrens Edit: Half a year later... I became the fan of their works and oh god... all those motives, small nods and refferences to the numerology, occultism, etc is just incredible, just wow!
The whole song has a pretty errie felling the heartbeat sound the disorted keyboard the birdcall and ethnic singing the only thing not errie is the drums
The level of digging people had to do to find some of these is nothing short of astonishing. Even the Few Old Tunes tracks are covered!! Anybody know where the "I'm a real traditionalist" was sampled from? The music is so cool...
First melted in my headphones back in 1999 to boc. Instant infatuation. Absolute pure undiluted genius on so, sooooo many levels. Now, all these years later, learning about the samples 🤯
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully express how meaningful boc is to me, my earliest memories as a kid are of boards songs playing in the house (my dad put me onto boards) like they’ve just been there in every period of my life growing up boards always playing in the house. Aquarius was my trip song haha. Love them and am also hoping for a new album.
I’ve just listened to the Music has the right album and I’m in awe that you have found their sample sources! BOC are by far and away my favourite musicians! Their music is timeless to me.
“One Very Important Thought” also samples the John Abercrombie Timeless album, as well as the dialogue at the end of the porn movie An Affair to Remember.
This was really insightful. I already knew that they sampled a lot of vocals from Sesame Street, but had no idea they sampled full drum loops and sounds. Like the Aquarius bass line and the drums on Nlogax, just figured that was them.
well, another important thing to note about the sample used in "Aquarius" is that the HAIR soundtrack was composed by Galt McDermot, who was sampled in tons of classic hip-hop. I never spoke to them about it, but I always felt like this was a result of their interest in hip-hop and their desire to integrate that. If you go down a rabbit hole of classic samples, you run into Galt McDermot. In fact I just googled him and the first thing that comes up are articles about his sampled works. I had the pleasure/honor to see Galt McDermott perform with a small ensemble including Bernard Purdie at one of the smaller auditoriums at Carnegie Hall many years ago, because I'm such a sample nerd. Boards probably did that on purpose, he's one of the guys you become interested in when you dive into it, like David Axelrod or other stuff like that. Trying to be educational, not a hot take! Cheers!
Sampling is such a fascinating way to make new music and a band like this is so creative with the sampling. A really good band to show what people can do
I always wished "A Moment of Clarity" went on for far longer. Those chords are so beautiful. Never knew it was a set of voices with some sort of phaser effect and/or reverse effect added. I love this band so much.
@@TheWinterShadow Believe me, I am. I got into them shortly after Tomorrow's Harvest dropped and their music has changed my life. They are still one of my favourite artists :)
@@arte0021 he isn't wrong as far as stylistic origins goes. also you're not special either. instead of acting like an arrogant prick and ridiculing other people's taste and certain newer styles of music. can't we just learn to appreciate variety of music that exists right now?
I thought it was only on twitter that people were so tone-deaf that they thought you could accuse someone of ripping off something that happened LATER turns out it's the whole internet that's too stupid to understand the passage of time
Maybe their samples make me realize how warm and fuzzy I sometimes feel when I listen to these tracks. Innocence, childlike the best way to get a good job
Can you imagine signing Boards of Canada when they were putting out the Old Tunes era stuff and then they hand you Music Has The Right To Children? Talk about a goose laying a golden egg!
I already have my next batch of videos uploaded and scheduled for release in the coming weeks, I believe I’m already done up until may and unfortunately FSoL hasn’t been done yet. Sorry mate. It’s in the ‘to do’ list though.
I recall picking out some of the Sesame Street samples like "Orange" when it came out. But how did you decipher some of these really obscure dialogue recordings and music samples? Great detective work.
It's the kind of things that I would be sampling if I was still making music..especially the sesame street dialogue. Well done for finding all the original samples. 🙂👍
A majority of these kids cartoon samples I know very well since my early childhood , how didn’t I even realize BOC used so many of those on my most favorite albums of all time
*This is great* I’ve been an insane BOC obsessive since their very first cassette, yet I only knew maybe 40% of the samples. While there’s countless more, one of my favorites is the track “Orange Romeda” which has another Sesame Street sample, simply the letter “Y”....as spoken by a group of (surprise) children.
This may be wishful thinking but if you search 'Paul Daniels puppet' and click the video by M.RileyJunior, is it just me or can you hear the main sample from rue the whirl at 1:32? Seems so fitting to BOC themes because its family tv show material and a piece about a puppet realising its a puppet.
love recgonizing Leslie NEielsens voice in the middle of those deep dives ... the conet project stuff too... the rest of this stuff (sesame street drops aside) jesus man, proprs... this is an insane dig. never thought id see the likes of this. thank you
When I was 16 I was in a band mostly trying to sound like Pink Floyd. One night the drummers dad came to pick us up after practice, we where totally sound of our tits and radio one was on in the car (I think it was John Peel) and Telephasic Workshop came on! It tottaly blew our minds!!! We didn't realise music could sound like that! From that moment I approached making music in a completely different mind set! I was only 16 so was pretty much mimicking what we heard but slowly I found my own style and how I like to do things. I think every artist copies other ideas here and there but there are very specific moment when I'm making music where I'll do something and I'll know that it's come from me! Like I'll know subconsciously that in that moment what I just did was 'my thing'. It's hard to explain but it all started that night in the car hearing BOC for the first time.
They used the Colonel Abrams sample on a really old track as well, something on Old Tunes 1 or 2, it's fairly much just a remix of of his original songd. Also, thanks for reminding me how creepy early time stretch could be!
They use a lot of Sesame Street, which is pretty cool since their stuff basically sounds like what memories feel like when you're a little kid.
Music has the right to children especially feels like that
Mindblowing that the little girl in roygbiv wasn't saying "hey" but "lake" this whole time
Favourite BoC tune
I always heard 'lame'
I always thought she said "late"
literally lol
I thought she said "fate"
I hate it when all of my personalities say bye in consecutive order.
This is actually insane, I remember watching all these old Sesame Street episodes on vhs as a 5 year old. No wonder BoC always made me feel so weird
Basically, they loved Sesame's Street as the childrens
Edit: Half a year later... I became the fan of their works and oh god... all those motives, small nods and refferences to the numerology, occultism, etc is just incredible, just wow!
Pretty much lol
Relatable
Hi, where did you find the references to numerology, occultism etc?
@@intothedragon Geogaddi album is full of it
probably, but it's funny that the episode most of their samples come from aired when they were 20 lol
The death choir juxtaposed with the happy flute on Happy Cycling will never not terrify me
I feel like it’s supposed to be Biking on shrooms with that horror feeling always in the background
The whole song has a pretty errie felling the heartbeat sound the disorted keyboard the birdcall and ethnic singing the only thing not errie is the drums
thy were really in the studio like "shit that sounds dope as hell, drop it."
“...on to a cassette, and leave it there for the next 30 years or so”
Damn, I need to listen to the “Music Has The Right To Children” album again.
How on earth do you find these? I'm stunned.
I imagine bocpages was of great assistance
@@gropovec The information was always there, I found a few myself but this as far as am concerned is an extensive dig.
This videos have really helped open my mind up to what can be done with sampling. Thank you.
That’s awesome 🙂 glad you like the videos mate.
Those old tunes kinda sound like vaporwave cool, also sample at 9:38 is masterful insanely good use
Not even kinda thats like vaporwave before vaporwave pretty much
Yeah, that’s right!
OOORRAAANNGEEE
These guys were/are brilliant in their sampling, but sure would be nice if they would come back again please...
lol
Man that Trapped sample...holy smokes, too good.
please
i miss them
Best electronic's artists of the world !!!
Lake!
I always thought they were saying SAYYYY! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Lame!
the sample of "trapped" by colonel abrams was also used completely in track 4 with the same name in a few old tunes
Thanks for the info mate 🙂
Yes. And also the Counting Control by The Conet Project is more clear in another old tune.
the Hell Interface mix of 'Trapped' is god-tier
The level of digging people had to do to find some of these is nothing short of astonishing. Even the Few Old Tunes tracks are covered!! Anybody know where the "I'm a real traditionalist" was sampled from? The music is so cool...

Same here, especially songs like Roygbiv and Aquarius
Orange!

I can tell you that he found the sources on either bocpages or whosampled.
I wouldn't call them musicians.
“One Very Important Thought” also samples the John Abercrombie Timeless album, as well as the dialogue at the end of the porn movie An Affair to Remember.
@@rorz999 There’s so much amazing stuff on ECM that has flown under the radar all this time.
How would you know ;)
@@psychodelogen.9694 Wikipedia, of course.
This was really insightful. I already knew that they sampled a lot of vocals from Sesame Street, but had no idea they sampled full drum loops and sounds. Like the Aquarius bass line and the drums on Nlogax, just figured that was them.
My favorite is the distinctive tambourine sound after about 3 mins in Kid For Today. It's taken from the Beatles Strawberry Fields.

Gyroscope is one of the best songs ever made, it has so much energy its amazing
lol that thing is just cursed
@@pegatrisedmice Agreed. It's pretty disturbing!
Colonel Abrams - Trapped is more notably sampled on BoC's own Trapped, from their A Few Old Tunes album
@Tommy Badman Yes, and it's more like a remix, but still !
@Ian I Was about to leave a similar comment ;)
Sampling is such a fascinating way to make new music and a band like this is so creative with the sampling. A really good band to show what people can do
Now I feel stupid for not realizing that the "I love you" from An eagle in your mind and The color of the fire are the same sample.
also Korona is
That transition from the Aquarius sample to song was clean!
I always wished "A Moment of Clarity" went on for far longer. Those chords are so beautiful. Never knew it was a set of voices with some sort of phaser effect and/or reverse effect added. I love this band so much.
Ha! I just commented on that use of phaser on the Manhattan Transfer sample not seeing your comment first. That was a very clever use of that sample
I feel like pure shit, I just want Boards of Canada back
yup, know that feeling, hard to believe its been 7+ years now w/o anything major other than some remixes.
Its coming soon... soon...
...soon
@tape stuff I live in the UK and Tomorrow's Harvest was the perfect soundtrack to the initial chaos of Covid-19 back in March 2020.
You should be thankful they ever came.
@@TheWinterShadow Believe me, I am. I got into them shortly after Tomorrow's Harvest dropped and their music has changed my life. They are still one of my favourite artists :)
This is amazing! Smashed my whole perception of these BoC tracks
excellent work!! i needed this and the aphex episode in my life.
hooolyy shit, this is amazing.... cant believe how many you found
Amazing! Knowing the origin of the samples makes some creepy BoC songs much less creepy.
Outstanding detective work. Thank you so much for making these. WE love it!
Holy smokes, 8's done it.
Always finding new reasons to love BOC, great video!
BoC is the parallel wold of electronic music
Oscar See Through Red Eye is such a masterpiece, really cool to hear the original sample on that one.
One Of The Samples Was Rocking "Aussie" Vibrations.
I can’t enough of seeing the Sesame Street ones, yeah that’s right
The I love you sample in the color of fire legit brings me to tears.
Absolutely fantastic. Thank you for your amazing effort and deep dive here. Brilliant, just Brilliant. 👍🏼❤🎶
Was anyone else's mind blown by the Everything you do is a balloon one? I always wondered wtf that ending was. BOC never ceases to amaze.
The song The Color of the Fire has always been such a trip to me & nostalgic. Really good music for tripping or with weed
5:56 today is the day i learned that boards of canada sample colby the computer and a convicted supermax felon in the same track
I just wanted to hear more BOC each time 😢... Also that bass sample for Nlogax. I'd know that sound anywhere.
My new band's gonna be called: Sound Bites from Sesame Street Over Breakbeats.
Once Old tunes vol 2 popped up. I raised my eyebrows. AMAZING WORK!
Holy hell, I never realised BoC were doing vaporwave back in the '90s before it was even nostalgia
Dont compare BOC to vaporwave. Vaporwave is garbage

more like vaporwave artists have been riding BoC's coattails since it's inception
@@automaticbazooti yes, that was the joke
because of the whole linear time thing
I thought it was only on twitter that people were so tone-deaf that they thought you could accuse someone of ripping off something that happened LATER
turns out it's the whole internet that's too stupid to understand the passage of time
honestly amazing how they can warp and distort these samples
Maybe their samples make me realize how warm and fuzzy I sometimes feel when I listen to these tracks. Innocence, childlike the best way to get a good job
Can you imagine signing Boards of Canada when they were putting out the Old Tunes era stuff and then they hand you Music Has The Right To Children? Talk about a goose laying a golden egg!
I don’t know how you manage to do some of these but it’s brilliant! Thanks for the great work and keep it up!
That sample digging is insane. I didn't even notice some of them could be a sample. Bravo.
I never thought I'd see you make one of these videos about BoC, thank you so much!
Their Old Tunes era is my fav
Please next,The Future Sound of London,please,thank you

Holy Shit thank you. I have been listening to these for so long. Incredible. edit: That La fetet sample!
I'm completely and utterly blown away. Siiick!
These guys are so creative with picking things to sample.
9:19 OH MY GOD THAT WAS *VOCALS*?!??
so cool. major deep cuts
It just ending up fitting perfect. I have many times ending searching after samples when listen to boc.
some of these vocal samples must've been impossible to find, like tip o' my hat to you sir
I haven’t even watched this and I already know it’s awesome. How have I never?
The gyroscope sample isnt actually a direct sample its a recreation by one of the members of autechre
no wonder it takes them a decade to make an album. this is genius
A majority of these kids cartoon samples I know very well since my early childhood , how didn’t I even realize BOC used so many of those on my most favorite albums of all time
Lacking in Tomorrow's Harvest. A lot of those samples have people stumped. Was hoping some of em would of been uncovered here

While there’s countless more, one of my favorites is the track “Orange Romeda” which has another Sesame Street sample, simply the letter “Y”....as spoken by a group of (surprise) children.
Whitewater from the Boc Maxima album also liberally uses the "Many Me's" sample
I need some from fila brazillia, they got some really good samples
This may be wishful thinking but if you search 'Paul Daniels puppet' and click the video by M.RileyJunior, is it just me or can you hear the main sample from rue the whirl at 1:32? Seems so fitting to BOC themes because its family tv show material and a piece about a puppet realising its a puppet.
First song I heard of them was 1969 and absolutely loved it
Burial let s go
Many Me's was also sampled in Whitewater and Trapped was sampled in a song in Old Tunes.
ok but where did the sound at 0:32 come from in Roygbiv or did they create it themselves?
I hope there are those watching this that have never heard/heard of boards of canada and this is just f@king their mind when they hear these snippets
its fucking my mind now
yes been waiting for this one, so good thank you
Someone's been researching the heck out of BOC and Sesame St!
fascinating, thank you for this. That Manhattan Transfer sample is absolute genius.
holy shit. this is awesome to learn after all these years!
The phaser on that Manhattan Transfer sample was pretty genius
love recgonizing Leslie NEielsens voice in the middle of those deep dives ... the conet project stuff too... the rest of this stuff (sesame street drops aside) jesus man, proprs... this is an insane dig. never thought id see the likes of this. thank you
