FUCK YES. Always wanted a non-bootleg release of this track. But this is as close to the original as it gets(for now?).

Machinedrum did a great job on this! Very natural reproduction.

"I've always been a massive fan of Boards of Canada (if its not obvious already!). 10-11 years ago I stumbled upon a bootleg recording of one of their extremely rare live performances at the Warp 10 Birthday party in 1999. The closing tune at this show has always remained a mystery to me. As far as I know it has no title and has never been released. It's quite possibly one of my favorite things they have done and really is a shame it never came out. You can hear the original bootleg recording (quite bad quality) here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYEZueAelKc

Fast forward to Summer 2012... Since I am a huge nerd I decided to take this bootleg recording and re-produce it for fun. Using the recording I laid new drums over the existing drum patterns (almost 100% accurate to original), replayed some synth parts and the bassline. The only thing I didn't try to re-create was the original vocoder parts and some random samples so I used the original bootleg recording for that. I was tempted to make a shorter 4-5 minute version but I figured I should preserve the original piece in its intended length."

Damn this is really good, I know it's not exactly the real version but that's irrelevant.

I think I just went from liking Machinedrum to loving Machinedrum.

Dare I say, like a moment of (added) clarity?

Very nice treatment from Machinedrum; well worth the full listen. Despite the nature - bootleg and all, no idea how this type of mix may be received - I actually think this shows great respect both to and for the source.

I'm finding it a bit difficult to just enjoy this for what it is. The main reason for this I think, is that I'm just not sure what it is.

It's not really a cover version, and it's not really a remix. It's not BoC, and it's not Machinedrum. It's more like a collab, with Machinedrum acting as an unsolicited session player.

Don't get me wrong, it's really good. I'm just not sure I quite get it.

I understood it like he really liked the song and was tired of hearing it in bad quality all the time and decided to make a much more listenable version of it.

Well he managed to remake it really well! Hats off to Machinedrum. Somebody made a pic for it too:

woulda been cool if it was a studio version, rather than a complete replica...down to recording with crowd.
