Top Gear's use of BOC tracks.

[Flory]

Yes a thread made by me that is not about lost boc stuff.

[SamuraiDrifter]

Yeah, someone working on the show obviously is a fan. Probably my favorite instance of this was them playing Gemini when Jeremy was driving around Chernobyl. Obviously fits the post-apocalyptic feel.

The music for that show in general is pretty damn good.

I love those 3 guys together. Wish theyd keep making shows forever, even if its not about cars and adventures.

I believe in the indestructible Toyota segment about the truck damaging bristle there plays a boc track from the campfire head phase.

The track is Sunshine Recorder and it was on Geogaddi.

I dunno what kind of copy of Campfire Headphase you've got mate, but I'm pretty sure that Sunshine Recorder is supposed to be on Geogaddi!

But seriously though, my face always brightens when I hear BoC playing in the background of Top Gear. They seem to show up in quite a few BBC TV shows (I distinctly recall hearing them many times in The Real Hustle), probably because the BBC can afford the rights to basically any music they want lol

BOC used to appear a lot on Mind, Body and Kick Ass Moves. I think pretty much every episode. That was on the BBC too if I remember correctly.

You dare call yourself a Boards of Canada fan?!

[Flory]

Well it was the only 2 tracks in the album that sounded out of place like they were meant for a other album.
I just forgot the name of the track.

Sure this track is from The campfire headphase.
Also Top Gear seems to use allot of 8 film scenes.

[Valotonin]

Really liked the usage of New Seeds. I think it was also in the episode about Chernobyl?

That's Hey Saturday Sun! (-:

Pitch altered, though, because the uploader probably had to get the episode past the copyright filter.

44:00 Is that a boc helmet?

[Sherbet Head]

Yep, heard plenty of BoC and other Warp stuff on Top Gear.

Also, slightly off-topic, but I was watching the latest season of Nirvanna The Band The Show (incredibly underrated Canadian comedy series) the other day, and heard a couple of familiar tunes in one episode...

anybody any idea what this is all about - did they provide music specifically for TG?

I think it is just the middle group that certain television shows can go through to obtain licenses to media distribution of certain tracks. It likely makes the process infinitely easier than constantly directly writing to different labels for permission. It also makes it more lucrative for the label. Provide tracks for the list, set different default pricing based on the type of media they want to use said track for and offer the company a commission on all tracks that have their media copyright contracts sourced through them.

Wait, I apologise for not fully checking that out and assuming that it was just referring to their presence on the site in general.

The fact that 'Top Gear Cues' is listed with every other track in their collection is interesting to say the least.

What part of the audio or sound design would 'cues' encompass?

It is too late to delete the original response I made now, so I apologise for not checking it out fully before writing and, once again, coming across as condescending. You were likely aware of everything I stated.

I am guessing this literally means that some of the suspenseful or ambience building music used in Top Gear that isn't ascribed to a particular artist could well be the work of Boards of Canada. Marcus is credited with some interesting sound design on a car advert that I recall, so this isn't unusual.

Sorry to bump an old thread.

I just noticed also as Techboy and Valotonin did that Boards of Canada have "Top Gear Cues" registered as a work by them: https://www.ascap.com/repertory#ace/wri ... EL%20PETER

I don't see any other post about this.

It's true Top Gear have used Gemini and some other BoC music, but could this mean they composed a cue especially for Top Gear not yet known to be by them?

[Moloch]

I first read the title of the topic as "top gear used by BOC" or sth along those lines. I need some sleep...
