Here's the Alain Clavier track from that collection:

Cool video. I noticed the boc-like font as well:

it would appear that this little tune was used quite often for parks canada commercials

the NFBOC and Parks Canada are two separate entities even though they both fall under the Canadian government

Sure but that compilation includes a track by same composer Alain Clavier. That Metadata ( extrait ) someone posted earlier on. Interesting stuff. Not as BoCish as in the Parks Canada clip though.

Been searching but the links what I've found have been down. Soulseek might be the way to go. One psychical copy for sell : http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?releas ... 3455&ev=rb

Limited facsimile edition of 100.

Fellas want to check this out too maybe:

Bloody hell, that was a cool commercial. Beautiful music; reminded me not only of BOC of course but also Miles Davis - that descending synth melody is similar to "Blue in Green".

I wish all adverts were like that

i ripped the audio of this track and tossed in on a yearly chill out comp i make for friends entitled "bedtime with buddha"

recently discovered the unlabeled disc in an old CD binder and instantly fell in love with this little vignette all over again

bumping this for others to enjoy who missed it the first time around 4 years ago. bloody hell where has the time gone

Beautiful - I wouldn't be surprised if Acid Memories sounded a lot like this.

The samples in that have to be the inspiration for Dawn Chorus, as well as PC.

Thanks for the bump, I love the synth

Thanks for bumping this as I hadn't had the pleasure of listening back then. Beautiful, and as an earlier poster pointed out, you can really hear and see where a majority of BoC's influences lay.
