Very well done. I think text and video snippets stitched together as you’ve done is the best approach For BoC’s music. People would undoubtedly seize upon narration / audible discussion because of personal biases / varying levels of education on any / all manner of subjects related. I think that’s the main reason they’ve been so reluctant to do live interviews. The mob are a fickle bunch.

I just clicked and fast-forwarded through it. Saving for later - I want the watch the whole thing uninterrupted. It looks really nicely done. Thank you!

What an awesome project! Is it done by you?

Really excellent job on the audio transitions! Also the use of footage, it might be cliche but it fits so well :) Must have been a time consuming job to match all of it too.

I'll feature this video on the forum for a while because this deserves more views.

Thank you for the response, and no, it’s not done by me (I wish...)
Found it somewhere on reddit.

Watched this yesterday, and I thought it was really well put together! It would be really tempting to just stick to a really strict chronology of the music, and as far as the story goes it does that, but they've really pulled in stuff from all over the timeline and worked it together well. And found some really good visuals to go with!

Finally watched this last night. The editor in me couldn't help but notice some obvious spelling and grammatical errors in the text, but nonetheless I enjoyed it immensely, and admired the scope and ambition of the work.

The video brings up an interesting topic that I've always wondered about. The video (very well done btw) uses the Wikipedia birthdates of the brothers (1 June 1970  21 July 1971) where the old EHX site and many of the interviews support 14 July 1971  27 May 1973, or at the least, support a 2 year age difference.
(Also Mike being born in 1971 is supported by  Matador Records biography, which was Warp approved and based on info from PIC & Goderich, 2000.)
Is this all a red herring?
I apologize for bringing it up if they want their birthdates to remain ambiguous to keep personal info personal. But if the brothers don't care or this is just a case of bad information, then it ought to be confirmed just for genuine informational purposes. I mean, think of the poor astrologists too. Who's the Cancer and who's the Gemini?

Great work and I can see why it took so long to get it together. Got the itch when I saw Trans Canada Highway mentioned as a LP though ;-)

Looks like it's picked up some traction.

Great work. Hopefully BoC doesn't release any new songs or mixtapes any time soon. It would suck to have to edit the whole video again just a few months after you published it...
