Stunning to this day.

Wow didn't know there was an instrumental of this. Thanks! Never cared much for the lyrics in any of their remixes, tbh.

personally, imho, their choice of vocals os exactly what I have ever wanted from them... weird, obscure and definitely abstract... I don’t think I would like it if they went more traditional or even serious with vocals. Mr. Mistake is one of my favorite songs ever and the fact Mike Patton was involved was a dream come true for me... My favorite rock band next to Nirvana is Tomahawk and not to mention Fantomas.
I do enjoy the instrumental versions of the remixes better though, and this is absolutely fantastic...
would love to hear instrumental versions of Broken Drum and Sometimes as well as Good Friday!

That's fair. I actually forgot about the Midas Touch remix and I seriously love that one beyond belief. The Broken Drum one is another that I like a lot. I appreciate their choice of vocals in some songs, but for me it is hard to shake the idea that it's hard to do the music justice, like it almost takes away from the music in some sense. But I should stop thinking like that because they are remixes! I don't mind a lot of the remixes with vocals, but I definitely can't get into WHY? for some reason.

Odd Nosdam, Doseone, and Why? all developed their own original sound without compromise and their music resonates with me in a way that's similar to BoC even though they all sound different on the surface. Why? are a great live band too.

Hear, hear! BoC, cLOUDDEAD, Nosdam, and Why? were my transcendental-teens soundtrack, and their unique perspectives on music & life were invaluable spirit-food for this existential highschooler...

Yes! Makes me happy to hear that you were moved in a similar way by their work. I reckon this is a good time to quote Doseone's story of meeting BoC. An apt representation of what the band's music means to me.

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!"

Wow, absolutely love the instrumental version. There's such an organic and playful nature to it. On the surface it seems somewhat simple, but the subtle textures and rhythms has just made this one of my very favourite recordings from the brothers.

This has made my day, thanks for posting 2020... I need this whole instrumental album on vinyl, will it happen?

No problem! I hope it comes out on a platform other than Youtube soon.

Really great interview! Meeting the brothers and then getting to work with them must have been incredible.

Edit: That remix is very nice too!

This instrumental is almost like getting an entire new track, it's a trip

Yo this is good! Where can one acquire a good digital copy of this? Has this been readily available for some time and I've missed it??

dannnnnnnng this is great

I love it! Always great getting a new instrumental version of a remix, it's almost like having an all new track.

Thought this sounded very similar
