Funny that most of their remixes are somehow related to the anticon collective/members of cLOUDDEAD.
And there's Beck.
Out and about.

Odd Nosdam is in cloudead and created Anticon with why? dose jel and sole... i think passage may have been a co founder as well.

cupz point is true despite the other remixes... i think thats cause like for many people when clouddead came out jaws were dropped. whether the music speaks to you or not i feel its true to say that anticon is truly unique and BoC seems to be interested in unqiue, subversive art

For the lazy;
What was your first point of contact with Boards Of Canada, who remixed 'Dead Dogs Two' for cLOUDDEAD and now 'Mr. Mistake' for Nevermen?



AD: This is full of fun names and tiny stories. A million years ago, when I had just put out the Circle album [a collaboration with Boom Bip], and then cLOUDDEAD got picked up by Ninja Tune, our publicist introduced me to Prefuse 73. He had just been signed to Warp and I wanted to meet him because I loved the Savath & Savalas first record. Long story short, he's flown out to do his first Warp gig ever, and it's the last of the big Warp lighthouse parties, and apparently the only show that Boards Of Canada ever left the house for. 



So unbeknownst to me, I just know I'm going and I'm a huge Boards fan, Autechre fan, of everything on Warp. I worked at Amoeba Records, I was the pop buyer, and Dax [Pierson] the keyboard player in Subtle is exposing me to all this music. So I hand-wrapped all these cLOUDDEAD 10"s and made all these stuffed animals. I used to switch the heads of stuffed animals and give them to people. Autechre were straight up: they looked at me like, "Who the fuck are you?" They totally gave me the hip-hop face. I ended up giving their stuffed animal to Björk, who I also don't think really enjoyed getting a stuffed animal.



But lo and behold! I didn't know where to be, I was not famous, it was like Björk and Aphex and all these people in the front of the tour bus drinking beers, and I just did not feel good. So I go in the back where it's really dark and there's two couples sitting in the back and I'm like, "Hey. Hi… how are you guys?" And it was Boards and their girlfriends. I was like, "No! It's you!" And they fuckin' loved the stuffed animals, and then they went home and listened to the 10"s and went out of their way to email me, and really loved cLOUDDEAD. It was like the universe just opened up. We had this totally human interaction at a giant rave.



I asked them for the cLOUDDEAD remix and they said yes, then I figure it's been a minute and I love them and I miss them, and we ask them about Nevermen and they immediately say yes. They're such ninjas. The talent and confidence it takes to make their music as consistently and as warmly as they do. Not only is it beautiful and stunning and giving me feelings and making my head drift, but what they choose not to put on a song is just so good, man. I may be blessed with the powers of ADD or something, but I really am in awe of what they create. I listen to their music and I'm like, "Hot damn! This is some pristine decision-making!"


Pretty good read, haha/

you know if someone asked me "name the one person who you'd think would be really okay with getting a stuffed animal with a mismatched head" my answer would have been a resounding "bjork!" so that part is a bit surprising.

but in general this is a really great story.

I think Bjork is a fair bit different to how social media sees her. A friend of mine (who is a huge fan of hers) met her on an island in Italy I think (she's there every few years apparently) and she told me she told them to piss off, telling them that she's not Bjork - kind of silly if you ask me. I always thought she'd be the type to just be up for spontaneous exploding psychology. :|

Doesn't anyone want to give credit to Tunde Adebimpe? That dude is artistic as fuck. This remix is such a combination of varying musical perspectives. That is why it is amazing.
It's nice to be seen. We're usually just a nebulous mist.

yes, I wonder if it is their way to just relax and have fun, or sign of somethign like this new to come, I would love it and this is just very rewarding for me, I remember having a chat here with some user name's The Wizard, who basically pointed some very cool things in TH and Split Your Infinities in particular, and then after BOC using that main melody in their new track, too nice, but also yeah a lot different BOC vibes going on here, I liek that jazzy drums beat, reminds me of EYDIAB and it builds on this, love it
