* One possible meaning of the title: [http://www.realdictionary.com/S/dir/soixanteneuf.asp sixty-nine or soixante-neuf], in relation to the fact that the lyrics are from a porn film; credit, [sixtytenth]. But it may also be significant that there are tracks called "[[Sixtyniner]]", "[[1969]]", and "[[June 9th]]" (6/9). [DC]
* The melody strongly resembles that of "[[Music Is Math]]" from [[Boards of Canada]]'s second officially released LP, ''[[Geogaddi]]''.
*A manipulated segment of the recorder sample used from 2:35 to 2:56 can be heard in "[[A Is To B As B Is To C]]", also from ''[[Geogaddi]]''.
*The background music during the monologue sample of "Summer of '72" is eerily similar to the melody of "[[The Color of the Fire]]" / "[[I Love U]]".

==Samples / Lyrics==
* At approximately 2:16, there is a vocal sample of a monologue taken (the sample has been sped up) @1:06:35 from the adult film [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128647/ "Summer of '72"]. The exact same section of the film was also sampled in "[[Sir Prancelot Brainfire]]" from ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 2]]''.

That tiny room at the beach was absolutely the perfect place for my first time. When we came together, I could feel the hairs growing on my chest. I saw my future. I saw my past. For a few minutes it was like being alive and they live happily ever after. All my questions had been answered. And all my fears disappeared. All that was left was... the kiss. Every move we made was a kiss.<ref>{{#widget:YouTube|id= wGKhFfMUTwc |start=120}}</ref>

An edited version of [[Sixtyniner]] (labelled as "Sixty Niner") was included on ''[https://www.discogs.com/release/35219299-Various-Sampler-4-Forthcoming-Releases| Sampler 4, Forthcoming Releases]'', a 1996 compilation by record label [https://www.discogs.com/label/979555-Chain-With-No-Name| Chain With No Name].

=== Diskono ===
[[Image:Diskono001x.jpg|none|thumb|200px| [https://www.discogs.com/Various-Psychogeographic-X/release/20858 DISKONO001X] artwork]]

The version on "Psychogeographic X" is a slightly different cut from the original.

Discogs user Onanon [https://www.discogs.com/Various-Psychogeographic-X/release/20858#comment296372 describes] this version best by saying:
<blockquote>
"This version of "[[Sixtyniner]]" is different from the one as released on ''[[Twoism_(release)|Twoism]]''. The Diskono version is a little bit faster, the nostalgic main melody is more at the front, the intermezzo breaks are more detailed and the 'first kiss' story is easier to understand. The bass is not as deep as on ''[[Twoism_(release)|Twoism]]''. After 4.14 the main melody is gone and won't return as the higher melody continues over the beat. The ''[[Twoism_(release)|Twoism]]'' version continues to play the melody 'till the end but the beats disappear earlier. Overall this version sounds clearer. The ''[[Twoism_(release)|Twoism]]'' version sounds more sad in a way."
</blockquote>

== Trivia ==
*On August 15th, 2025, A short remixed version of the track was posted on Boards Of Canada's various social media pages, accompanied by video, in celebration of ''[[Twoism (release)|Twoism's]]'' 30th anniversary.
* [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128647/ "Summer of '72"] is also the source of the background music sample used in "[[Niagara]]" and "[[P:C:]]".

Random 35 Tracks Tape

{{Infobox Release|
| name=Random 35 Tracks Tape
| release_date=1995?
| format=Cassette

}}

[[Random 35 Tracks Tape]] refers to a collection of 35 tracks leaked on P2P networks in 2000 and 2001, with it reaching the majority of fans around September of 2004.
Unlike the "[[Old Tunes]]" tapes, the tracks are completely unlabeled; however, a few match known tracks from other sources, including commercial releases. No liner notes or tape scan have ever surfaced.

Despite its uncertain provenance, the tape is believed to be authentic.

==Background==
*''[[Random 35 Tracks Tape]]'' is sourced from a cassette compiled by an unknown individual or individuals with access to rare material. These tracks were compiled from one or more CDrs produced by Boards Of Canada and acquired by the compiler by some unknown means. The music itself is consistent with their mid-90s output (with some exceptions), likely representing a period prior to 1995/96. The widespread leaking of these tracks to P2P networks ([http://www.slsknet.org Soulseek], originally) provided much drama on [[WATMM]].
* During or around 2000, prior to any widely available leak, the cassette was ripped twice in a seemingly short time span, likely due to a perceived issue with the initial rip. These two rips were shared in trading circles via private servers during the period of 2000 through about 2004. The two rips were continuously degraded by the processes of file compression, poorly executed noise reduction, and disc rot (from many people ripping the album to and from CDr). Due to a lack of any information, there was considerable confusion and misidentification of several of the tracks.
* In 2004, various versions of these tracks became widely available via peer-to-peer networks. As this roughly coincided with the leak of the old tunes tapes, there was no general consensus on what exactly the Random 35 Tracks Tape was or if they represented genuine Boards Of Canada material. As a result of the nature of early file sharing, the only available rips were heavily degraded, with a significant loss of fidelity across all versions.
* For a long time, it was assumed that this tape was the missing ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 1]]'' (since ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'' and ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 2]]'' were already known), although this was never confirmed. This was finally proven false when, on the 8th of August, 2009, the [[Twoism forum]] member, dealer, posted new photos of a cassette and liner notes showing that ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'' and ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 1]]'' were, in fact, the same release.
*On September 3rd, 2009, band associate [[MDG]] stated that it was not known who compiled the tracks.<ref>http://bocpages.org/wiki/Statements_from_Hexagon_Sun#September_2009</ref>
<blockquote>
"I've seen comments a few times about a mystery "35 track" tape which itself is a mystery to us too, sorry" 
"No I'm not saying they're not BOC, but the compilation itself is a mystery, just a mixture."
</blockquote>
*In the 2020s, renewed interest and investigative effort on the part of several members of the community, notably Niski, revealed several details about the compilation. Firstly, it was long believed the tape originated in 2004; however, it is now known that leaks of the tape were circulating as far back as 2000 and perhaps earlier. This period of activity revealed the existence of the second tape rip, the tape's compilation from BOC CDrs, numerous found samples, and various pieces of gear used throughout the compilation. Specifically, the Ensoniq VFX keyboard (1989) was found, thanks to the efforts of OliveOil, to feature on at least 12 of the 35 tracks, with the Casio CZ-101 (1984) on at least 5. Garx and Personman, among others, have identified several drum shots used on many of the tracks. These ongoing discoveries continue to reveal a more concrete composition and timeline for the Random 35 Tracks Tape.
*In 2026, the two original lossless rips were made available online thanks to the combined efforts of Niski and Samamdj.

== Discovery ==
These tracks appear to have first surfaced on [http://www.slsknet.org Soulseek] under various names, such as "random 35 tracks tape (rarities and the best of - not old tunes v1 or v2)" and "A Few Older Tunes Disc 1/Disc 2", reflecting the uncertainty of the collection's provenance. Early sightings include:

Random 35 Tracks Tape

[[Random 35 Tracks Tape]] refers to a collection of 35 tracks leaked on P2P networks in 2000 and 2001, with it reaching the majority of fans around September of 2004.
Unlike the "[[Old Tunes]]" tapes, the tracks are completely unlabeled; however, a few match known tracks from other sources, including commercial releases. No liner notes or tape scan have ever surfaced.

Despite its uncertain provenance, the tape is believed to be authentic.

==Background==
*''[[Random 35 Tracks Tape]]'' seems to have been sourced from a cassette containing pre-[[BoC Maxima]] tracks given to friends and family of the group. The leaking of these tracks to P2P networks ([http://www.slsknet.org Soulseek], originally) provided much drama on [[WATMM]].
**All files are encoded as 320kbps MP3.
* For a long time, it was assumed that this tape was the missing ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 1]]'' (since ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'' and ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 2]]'' were already known), although this was never confirmed. This was finally proven false when, on 8th August 2009, [[Twoism forum]] member dealer posted new photos of a cassette and liner notes showing that ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'' and ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 1]]'' were, in fact, the same release.
*[[MDG]] has said that it is not known who compiled the tracks, calling it "a mystery, just a mixture".<ref>http://bocpages.org/wiki/Statements_from_Hexagon_Sun#September_2009</ref>
*Zoetrope, a user on radiomute.com, referred to not only the commonly known ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'' and ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 2]]'', but also a third volume, which he appeared to refer to this leaked release as. Some also seem to believe that this is a 'Closes Vol. 2'.
*In 2026, two lossless rips were made available online thanks to the combined efforts of Niski and Samamdj.

| appearson=[[Random 35 Tracks Tape]]
| next=[[R35TT A05]]
| prev=[[R35TT A03]]}}

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* This track has been theorized to be "[[Remmy Kid]]" from ''[[Play by Numbers]]'' due to similar runtime between both tracks and likeness to "[[Wouldn't You Like To Be Free]]" from ''[[Play by Numbers]]''.
* This track has also been speculated to be "[[Close1]]" from ''[[Closes Vol. 1]]'' due to a matching runtime.
* The background voices and laughter in this song might originate from a band member flicking through TV channels to create an atmospheric ambience for the song.
** If this is the case then it could be an early version of the vocal splicing technique they would later develop in tracks like "[[Telephasic Workshop]]" and "[[Sunshine Recorder]]".

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* The track begins with a sped up laugh which is sampled (from A04 itself) in [[Warp10-08]], the 8th track played at Warp's 1999 tenth anniversary party.
* The song ends with what sounds like a male voice saying "that's a big one" before being cut off by the end of the track.
* No other vocal samples are known or are decipherable enough to make out.

Romer: +a04 sample

{{Infobox Song|
| name=Warp10-08
| runtime=11:27
| appearson=[[Live @ Warp10]]}}

[[Warp10-08]] is an unreleased track by [[Boards of Canada]] that was performed as part of their [[Live @ Warp10| set at Warp Records' 10th Anniversary Party]] on November 5th 1999, and subsequently distributed widely on bootleg recordings of the performance. As of 2025, the track's actual title remains unknown, and no studio or soundboard recording of the track has surfaced.

== Comments ==
* At over 10 minutes in length, the track is the longest [[Boards of Canada]] track to have been heard publicly.
* The track is notable for being [[Boards of Canada]]'s earliest known use of a vocoder. [[Boards of Canada]] would later use vocoders on "[[In a Beautiful Place out in the Country (song)|In a Beautiful Place out in the Country]]" (from the [[In a Beautiful Place out in the Country (release)|EP of the same name]]) in 2000, and on numerous tracks on ''[[Geogaddi]]'' in 2002.

== Samples/Lyrics ==
* 0:11 onward - Vocoded voice repeating throughout the track, possibly saying "Marcus singing", "Funky singing"<ref>https://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=46782#p46782</ref>, "Love is in me"<ref>https://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=152502#p152502</ref>, or "Focus in me"<ref>https://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=46740#p46740</ref>
* 5:35 onward - Another vocoded voice which repeats throughout the track, which can be heard on its own at the end, saying "[That's] the one! Oh this [is fun!]", sampled from the intro of "Colby's Song" from "[https://www.discogs.com/release/4952806-Various-Make-A-Joyful-Noise-Introducing-Colby Make A Joyful Noise: Introducing Colby]"<ref>{{#ev:youtube|XlF6dcgMqig|480||||start=673|false}}</ref><ref>https://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=320225#p320225</ref>
* 7:10 - A woman saying "One, two, three and four" in an American/Canadian accent, possibly from a vintage children's educational tape or retro domestic appliance advert
* 7:24 - A sample of children laughing similar to [[In a Beautiful Place out in the Country (song)|In a Beautiful Place out in the Country]] drenched in reverb
* 7:50 onward - Various samples chopped up in a similar fashion to [[Telephasic Workshop (song)|Telephasic Workshop]], [[Spiro]], and the ATP version of [[Sunshine Recorder]]
* 9:54 onward - The laugh from the beginning of "[[R35TT A04]]" can be heard, though with a rhythmic gate applied. It is most audible at the very end of the track, around 10:32, when the drums cut out.

== Notes ==
* You can hear a 'reproduction' by [http://soundcloud.com/machinedrum/boc-untitled-machinedrum-edit Machinedrum on SoundCloud], which has new drum programming and bassline

Random 35 Tracks Tape

2026-05-27T10:04:08Z

Romer: +niski Goat 2

{{Infobox Release|
| name=Random 35 Tracks Tape
| release_date=1995?
| format=Cassette
| label=(unknown)
| catno=N/A
| runtime=84:00
}}

[[Random 35 Tracks Tape]] (real name unknown) refers to a collection of 35 tracks leaked on P2P networks from 2000-2001, with it reaching the majority of fans around September of 2004.
Unlike other "[[Old Tunes]]" tapes, the tracks are completely unlabeled; however, a few match known tracks from other sources, including commercial releases. No liner notes or tape scan have ever surfaced.

Despite its uncertain provenance, the tape is generally believed to be authentic.

==Background==
*''[[Random 35 Tracks Tape]]'' seems to be sourced from a cassette tape containing a (presumably) hand-selected set of pre-[[BoC Maxima]] tracks. The leaking of these tracks to P2P networks ([http://www.slsknet.org Soulseek], originally) provided much drama on [[WATMM]].
**All files are encoded as 320kbps MP3.
* For a long time, it was assumed that this tape was the missing ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 1]]'' (since ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'' and ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 2]]'' were already known), although this was never confirmed. This was finally proven false when, on 8th August 2009, [[Twoism forum]] member dealer posted new photos of a cassette and liner notes showing that ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'' and ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 1]]'' were, in fact, the same release.
*[[MDG]] has said that it is not known who compiled the tracks, calling it "a mystery, just a mixture".<ref>http://bocpages.org/wiki/Statements_from_Hexagon_Sun#September_2009</ref>
*Zoetrope, a user on radiomute.com, referred to not only the commonly known ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'' and ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 2]]'', but also a third volume, which he appeared to refer to this leaked release as. Some also seem to believe that this is a 'Closes Vol. 2'.

== Discovery ==
These tracks appear to have first surfaced on [http://www.slsknet.org Soulseek] under various names, such as "random 35 tracks tape (rarities and the best of - not old tunes v1 or v2)" and "A Few Older Tunes Disc 1/Disc 2", reflecting the uncertainty of the collection's provenance. Early sightings include:
* 9 Sep 2004 - [http://community.livejournal.com/boardsofcanada/28808.html LiveJournal post]
* 3 Oct 2004 - [http://xltronic.com/mb/topic.php3?topic=65661 xltronic messageboard topic]
* 8 Oct 2004 - [http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/idm@hyperreal.org/42958.html idm-l post]

[[Random 35 Tracks Tape]] (real name unknown) refers to a collection of 35 tracks leaked on P2P networks around September 2004, with some tracks being leaked as far back as 2000.
Unlike other "[[Old Tunes]]" tapes, the tracks are completely unlabeled; however, a few match known tracks from other sources, including commercial releases. No liner notes or tape scan have ever surfaced.

Despite its uncertain provenance, the tape is generally believed to be authentic.

==Background==
*''[[Random 35 Tracks Tape]]'' seems to be sourced from a cassette tape containing a (presumably) hand-selected set of pre-[[BoC Maxima]] tracks. The leaking of these tracks to P2P networks ([http://www.slsknet.org Soulseek], originally) provided much drama on [[WATMM]].
**All files are encoded as 320kbps MP3.
* For a long time, it was assumed that this tape was the missing ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 1]]'' (since ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'' and ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 2]]'' were already known), although this was never confirmed. This was finally proven false when, on 8th August 2009, [[Twoism forum]] member dealer posted new photos of a cassette and liner notes showing that ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'' and ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 1]]'' were, in fact, the same release.
*[[MDG]] has said that it is not known who compiled the tracks, calling it "a mystery, just a mixture".<ref>http://bocpages.org/wiki/Statements_from_Hexagon_Sun#September_2009</ref>
*Zoetrope, a user on radiomute.com, referred to not only the commonly known ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'' and ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 2]]'', but also a third volume, which he appeared to refer to this leaked release as. Some also seem to believe that this is a 'Closes Vol. 2'.

== Discovery ==
These tracks appear to have first surfaced on [http://www.slsknet.org Soulseek] under various names, such as "random 35 tracks tape (rarities and the best of - not old tunes v1 or v2)" and "A Few Older Tunes Disc 1/Disc 2", reflecting the uncertainty of the collection's provenance. Early sightings include:
* 9 Sep 2004 - [http://community.livejournal.com/boardsofcanada/28808.html LiveJournal post]
* 3 Oct 2004 - [http://xltronic.com/mb/topic.php3?topic=65661 xltronic messageboard topic]
* 8 Oct 2004 - [http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/idm@hyperreal.org/42958.html idm-l post]

* On 26 May 2026, two new lossless rips appeared on YouTube, courtesy of Niski and [[Samamdj]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnFKkqPctwU</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9hkUMVLYnI</ref>

** v2 ([https://archive.org/details/a-01_20260526/ lossless download]) is the source for nearly every other leak of [[R35TT]], but obviously lossless and without any post-processing like NR

Turquoise Hexagon Sun

Romer: +les alchimistes

{{Infobox Song|
| name=Turquoise Hexagon Sun
| runtime=5:07
| appearson=[[BoC Maxima]] [[Hi Scores]] [[MHTRTC]]}}

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* [Evan Snyder] gave me this interesting link - http://jonathanclark.com/diary/flare/ - on the subject on lens flares. The number of blades making up the aperture of the lens influences the shape of the lens flare produced, so that a six-bladed aperture, for example, would produce a hexagonal sun flare effect. Evan suggests the possibility that the name was inspired by a documentary, or even one of Hexagon Sun's own films, with special meaning to [[Boards of Canada|BoC]], featuring a prominent turquoise hexagonal sun flare. An intriguing possibility, and a very interesting link. (You can also find photos fitting this description at [[Warp Records|WarpRecords]] - go to Artists, [[Boards of Canada|BoC]], and look at the Gallery photos).
* Not specifically in relation to this track, but in a wider sense (Hexagon Sun, the kaleidoscopic images on Geogaddi, etc), here are comments from the [[Interviews#2002-02-23:_NME|NME Interview]]:
<blockquote>
"What's the significance of hexagons to you?" 
"[[Marcus]]: "The hexagon theme represents that whole idea of being able to see reality for what it is, the raw maths or patterns that make everything. We've always been interested in science and maths. Sometimes music or art or drugs can pull back the curtain for you and reveal the Wizard of Oz, so to speak, busy pushing the levers and pressing buttons. That's what maths is, the wizard. It sounds like nonsense but I'm sure a lot of people know what I'm talking about."
</blockquote>

* Saturn. Saturday. Saturn-day. Sun. Some speculate that Saturn used to be our sun. Or that it’s some sort of supercomputer projecting our reality via its rings, maybe with the signal bounced off the moon? Saturn = Satan? There is a turquoise hexagon at one of the poles of Saturn. Maybe this is what they are referencing? https://www.businessinsider.com/saturn-hexagon-storm-images-2017-5

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* Shares a drum sample almost completely with "[[Orange_Hexagon_Sun|Orange Hexagon Sun]]".
* Various bits of speech, repeated elsewhere in the track. It's hard to make out much, but here's [DC]'s guess at some of it:
<blockquote>
"there's been a [release/leak]"? [female voice near start] - 0:36, 1:58 
"Oh, ... I know" [Scottish girl] - 1:14, 2:35 
"Just slightly" [different Scottish girl] - 4:29 
"... just [come in at the] end, right?" [English man] - 4:19 
"fan - tastic" [same man?] - at about 4:38. 
</blockquote>
* The girl speaking at about 1:22 and 2:44 sounds (to me) like the same one who speaks all the way through all 3 live recordings of BoC at ATP, Lighthouse, and Warp - which adds to suspicions that these are recordings of people talking at the the Hexagon Sun studio, as the title of the track would suggest.

== Trivia ==
*The synth melody that appears at 3 min & 14 sec into this track is similar to the synth melody that appears at 2 min & 49 sec into the track "[[Sunshine Recorder]]" from ''[[Geogaddi]]''.
*'Hexagon Sun' refers to the studio of [[Boards of Canada]] in East Scotland, but also to the collective of musicians and friends of [[Michael_Sandison|Michael]] and [[Marcus_Eoin|Marcus]].
*This song has been speculated to contain samples from inside the Hexagon Sun studios. These samples have also been said to match up to voices in the recordings of some live shows backing up the claim that they are from the inside.
* "[[Turquoise Hexagon Sun]]" might be a reference to the [[Hexagon Sun]] "collective" of musicians and artists who work at [[Boards of Canada|BoC]]'s Hexagon Sun Studio in the east of [[wikipedia:Scotland|Scotland]].
*In 1998, Michael revealed that the melody in this track comes from a tape created several years prior. From [Les Alchimistes]:
<blockquote>
...the melody of Turquoise Hexagon Sun, for example, comes from an old tape recording made several years ago.

Happy Cycling (A Few Old Tunes)

2026-01-16T15:50:27Z

Romer: +frazer clarke

''Not to be confused with the separate composition entitled "[[Happy Cycling]]" which appears on [[Music Has the Right to Children]] and the [[Peel Session]] EP.''

{{Infobox Song|
| name=Happy Cycling (A Few Old Tunes)
| runtime=1:49 [[Old Tunes Vol. 1]]
| appearson=[[Old Tunes Vol. 1|AFOT/OTV1]]}}

"[[Happy Cycling (A Few Old Tunes)|Happy Cycling]]" is a track by [[Boards of Canada]] which appears on the 1996 privately distributed compilation ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 1]]''. Despite sharing the same title as a [[Happy Cycling|later composition]], there do not appear to be any musical similarities between the two tracks. It seems likely that [[Boards of Canada]] simply liked the title of the earlier composition and re-used it for the later one, and it is important to note that the earlier composition has never been officially released and was not intended to be publicly available.

* This song title was alluded to during the [[Record Store Day incident#YouTube|Record Store Day incident]] when a clue uploaded to the official hellinterface YouTube account was titled "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDKGVd7B7Sk nuevas semillas]," which is "new seeds" in Spanish. <ref>http://translate.google.com/#es/en/nuevas%20semillas</ref>

3:50 - "I like you", Repeated until the end in the back layers. Highly combined with the melody and difficult to catch.
At 5:17-5:18 you can hear the sample isolated in the left channel, but very quiet.

== Trivia ==
* The end of this song contains the "Cosecha" jingle, as heard on the original 6 records, as well as the other number transmissions. <ref>[[:Category:------_/_------_/_------_/_XXXXXX_/_------_/_------_artwork]]</ref>
* The song has a motif that also occurs in "[[R35TT A14]]" of the [[Random_35_Tracks_Tape|Random 35 Tracks Tape]].

Romer: a03 drum

{{Infobox Song|
| name=June 9th

| appearson=[[Hi_Scores_(release)|Hi Scores]] [[Boc Maxima]]}}

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* "[[June 9th]]" is thought to be a reference to the date in which the report on the Challenger disaster was released. This date is also the ninth day of the sixth month, a reference to the "69" theme throughout some of [[BoC]]'s other music.
* More interestingly, "[[June 9th]]" is the date the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) opened its investigation into the WACO compound following the purchase of a significant number of firearms. according to the report " it was classified as sensitive, "thereby calling for a high degree of oversight" from both Houston and headquarters." There are many references to the WACO compound and branch davidians like in the song ''[[1969]]'' or ''[[In a Beautiful Place out in the Country (release)]]''.
* In numerous interviews, Boards of Canada have referred to "[[Red_Moon_incident|Red Moon]] nights", free-form outdoor gatherings with friends, music, movies and bonfires that Hexagon Sun has celebrated for years. The [[Red Moon incident]] appeared to reference an event on June 10th, 2006. Also, the album ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]'' was released on June 10th, 2013. It's possible that the Red Moon party is held around this time each year. Assuming the event is held on a Saturday, the latest time June 9th falls on a Saturday before this song was released would be in 1990.

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* This track shares a drum sample/loop with "[[R35TT A03]]" and "[[R35TT A08]]" from the ''[[Random_35_Tracks_Tape|Random 35 Tracks Tape]]''.

== Trivia ==
* The video shown below is the runner up of the [[An Eagle In Your Mind Video Contest|WATMM video contest]], judged by [[Boards of Canada]] in late 2002.

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* Occasionally referred to as "[[5d]]" despite there being little basis for this assumption other than the length of the track being similar to that of a known track length of an unreleased song.
* The video below for "[[5d]]" is a part of the official [[BoC]] playlist selected by BoC which does give credence to track "[[R35TT A06]]" being "[[5d]]".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/user/boardsofcanada/playlists</ref>

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* The initial sample in this track, lasting the duration of the piece, is a pitch/speed-altered version of the base sample for the track "[[Seven Forty Seven|Seven Forty Seven]]" released as part of the [https://www.discogs.com/release/2024532 Warp20 (Unheared)] compilation.
* It also plays a very light sample, around 3 minutes 20 seconds in, of a woman with a southern American accent apparently pulling up to a drive-through fast food ordering microphone and asking "Yes, what comes with, uh, chicken fingers?"

Closes Vol. 1

Romer: +repress

{{Infobox Release|
| name=Closes Volume 1
| cover=BOC-album-18.jpg

| label=Music70

[[Closes Vol. 1]] is [[Boards of Canada]]'s third known release.

The album has not been heard by those outside of the band's family and friends. MP3s labeled "Godever" (1:46), "Treeline" (1:12), and "Trillions" (3:31) are not the tracks from ''Closes Vol. 1''; the latter two are definitely not by [[Boards of Canada]].

4 tracks have the title [[Close1]] through [[Close4]]. Some track titles have mathematical connotations: [[Tends Towards]] (from analysis, limits, etc.), [[Numerator]] (fractions), [[Trillions]], [[5d]] (5-dimensional).

It was originally a cassette, but has been repressed on CD in 1997 <ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20010619002758/http://www.boardsofcanada.com/discog_closes1.html</ref> <ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20010606220519/http://www.boardsofcanada.com/records.html</ref>.

In 2014 on [[PIC]]'s own photography website, under a category called "In Life And In Song" he posted a high-resolution scan of what could be the origin of the cover without the "b.o.c closes vol. 1" marking in the top-right picture which was surely edited before the album's release.

The fact that in the time-stamp present in both the original source and artwork of the album, the year 1997 is present which matches the year in which the album was re-pressed on CD, could mean that the original 1992 cassette release has a totally different artwork. <ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20170826030640/https://www.peteriaincampbell.co.uk/wp/?skills=in-life-and-in-song</ref> <ref>https://imgur.com/a/gT2ir</ref>

Old Tunes Vol. 1

Romer: +summer o' 72!

{{Infobox Release|
| cover=Afot.gif
| name=Old Tunes Vol. 1 \ A Few Old Tunes
| release_date=1996
| format=Cassette
| label=Music70
| catno=CANCAS001
| runtime=71:40
}}

[[Old Tunes Vol. 1]], also known as '''A Few Old Tunes''', is one of two known cassette tape compilations produced by [[Boards of Canada]] in 1996. Along with its counterpart ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 2]]'', it was self-released under [[Boards of Canada]]'s [[Music70]] label and distributed to the band's friends and family. Notable recipients of the tapes include Sean Booth of [[Autechre]], and [[Wikipedia:Mike_Paradinas|Mike Paradinas]]. The tapes came to wider attention in the early 2000s when they leaked onto peer-to-peer file-sharing networks such as [[Wikipedia:Soulseek|Soulseek]], and are now widely available on sites like [[Wikipedia:YouTube|YouTube]].

==Background==
*''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'' seems to be sourced from a cassette tape containing a (presumably) hand-selected set of pre-''[[BoC Maxima]]'' tracks. The leaking of these tracks to p2p networks ([[wikipedia:Soulseek|Soulseek]], originally) provided much drama on [[WATMM]].
* Commonly referred to as ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'', due to its label; however, according to the [[Twoism forum]] user dealer, who posted new photos of the cassette and liner notes, it is also the true ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 1]]'' (and not [[Random_35_Tracks_Tape|the tape previously assumed to be OTV1]]). But, on the other hand, the [[WATMM|WATMM forum]] user phaelam posted new scans from a different angle which depict ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'' as the cover and the cassette label. This leads to believe [[Boards of Canada]] used two different labelings for the very same cassette. See the two conflicting [[Old_Tunes_Vol._1#Artwork|scans]] below.

== Availability ==
* A rip can be downloaded at [http://rareboc.org rareboc.org].

==Cover==
* According to KToiBalToi: "the girl on the cover of "a few old tunes" is Louise Campbell, the younger sister of [[Peter Iain Campbell|(Peter) Iain Campbell]] who has worked with them on other art projects. I think it was taken as a still from an old family video."<ref>http://medlibrary.org/medwiki/Talk:Old_Tunes</ref>
** The image is also used on the cover of ''[[Hi Scores (release)|Hi Scores]]''.

==Samples/Lyrics==
*A sample from the adult film [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128647/ "Summer of '72"] in [[P:C:]].
*Large chunks of the [[wikipedia:Colonel Abrams|Colonel Abrams]] song "Trapped" in "[[Trapped]]".
*A sample from an advertisement for a cleaning product in [[Devil]].
*A sample from the British game show [[wikipedia:Blockbusters (game show)|Blockbusters]] in [[Blockbusters|the song of the same name]].
*"[[The Way You Show]]" contains a loop sampled from "[[wikipedia:Celebration (song)|Celebration]]" by [[wikipedia:Kool & the Gang|Kool & the Gang]].

Romer: +birds from otter doc

{{Infobox Song|

==Comments==
* The title could be a reference to a musical by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber called "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat."<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_and_the_Amazing_Technicolor_Dreamcoat</ref>
* "Chroma key" (or color key) is a technique used in video production to swap in a separate signal source over a particular chrominance range across the source video, e.g. in bluescreen cinema effects.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma_key</ref>

== Samples/Lyrics ==
* 0:45, 2:40, 3:10 - A bird call can be heard from the credits of the 1983 nature documentary "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvIneE_fcHM&t=53m45s On The Tracks Of The Wild Otter]". This sample was discovered by [[Twoism (messageboard)|Twoism]] user personman. This same segment of the documentary can be heard at the beginning of "[[The Smallest Weird Number]]".
* 5:16 - A sample from an early 1970's anti-drug social hygiene film "[http://www.archive.org/details/social_seminar_tom Social Seminar: Tom]".<ref>{{#ev:youtube|_abTIS0Lg0I|480||||start=602|false}}</ref><ref>http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=65400</ref> The sample starts at 10:00.
<blockquote>"Woman: ...two weeks ago for the Christmas formal. [laughs] 
Man: For the Christmas formal?! That's a fuckin' sacrament! 
Woman: Just so, you know, 'cause the Christmas formal last year was so funny. I thought well, maybe... I didn't like mescaline before but I had such a good time. [laughs] It was just so funny. [laughs]"</blockquote>
* 0:32, 0:42 - What appears to be a sample of a whispery, male voice saying what sounds like "Seven" throughout the song.
* 4:29 - A piano chord which is reused as a sample in "[['84 Pontiac Dream]]".
* 4:30 - A slowed down voice on the right channel repeating "peanut butter. It's doggone good!" sampled from a [https://youtu.be/Wty8UYT6PGw?t=9 Reese's Peanut Butter Cup commercial]<ref>{{#ev:youtube|Wty8UYT6PGw|480||||start=9|false}}</ref><ref>https://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=287174#p287174</ref>
**[[File:Chromakey Dreamcoat Peanut Butter.mp3]]
* 2:01, 3:01 - Looped faint voices including what sounds like a woman saying "hey".

'''Lyrics'''
<blockquote>"From the height of the highway onramp we saw, 
two dogs, a-dead in a field, 
Glowing on the Oakland colliseum green seats wasteland, 
Dogs, dogs we thought were dead, 
They rose up, rose up when whistled at, 
Their rib cages inflating like 
men on the beach being photographed, 

A guard dog, guard dog, for what? for what? 
Against overzealous penniless athletic fanatics, 
Getting into games through a hole in the fence, 
For the owner of the blue tarp tent, 
Pitched by a creek beneath an onramp, 

In the privacy, of the last three, 
Skin and bony trees, devoid of leaves, 
And us undeceased, and with our new CDs, 
Zippin' on dead east, Oakland 

It's hard to stand the sight of two dogs dead 
under a sky so blue, 
You have to stop the blood to your head, 
to fit the breath in front of you, 

We secretly long to be some part of a car crash, 
Long to see your arms stripped to the tendons, 
The nudity of swelling exposed vein, 
webbing the back of your hand, 
To be a red tendoned dog, 
To be red tendoned dogs, 
Blood breathing by the side of the highway 

I long to be dead, 
center of a curious crowd, 
To be touched, 
sticky like nearly dried paint, 
Their soft silent stare, nursing your face, 
Anticipating the slightest pinch I flinch of pain, 
Everyone blank in accident awe, 
as the car crash fiberglass dust, 
straight up settles on your raw muscle tissue 

It's hard to stand the sight of two dogs dead 
under a sky so blue, 
You have to stop the blood to your head, 
to fit the breath in front of you, 

To be a red tendoned dog, 
To be red tendoned dogs, 
To be red tendoned dogs, 
To be red tendoned dogs, 
To be dead center of a curious crowd 

Against my misery I don't think I've seen my screeching pain, I can now feel what's around us. It is some sort of harmony, the harmony of overwhelming murder"</blockquote>

For instance, on MHTRTC around 1:18, there is a high resonance flanger present in the right channel. This is particularly noticeable at 1:37 when the drums cut out. This is completely absent from the Twoism version of the track. Among more general mixing and mastering differences, the panning of the drums in the two versions is flipped.

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* Contains the same drum beat from "[[Seeya Later]]" panned left on [[Twoism (release)|Twoism]] and right on [[Music Has The Right To Children]].

Old Tunes Vol. 1

2025-06-11T20:33:35Z

Romer: +liner notes

{{Infobox Release|
| cover=Afot.gif
| name=Old Tunes Vol. 1 \ A Few Old Tunes
| release_date=1996
| format=Cassette
| label=Music70
| catno=CANCAS001
| runtime=71:40
}}

[[Old Tunes Vol. 1]], also known as '''A Few Old Tunes''', is one of two known cassette tape compilations produced by [[Boards of Canada]] in 1996. Along with its counterpart ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 2]]'', it was self-released under [[Boards of Canada]]'s [[Music70]] label and distributed to the band's friends and family. Notable recipients of the tapes include Sean Booth of [[Autechre]], and [[Wikipedia:Mike_Paradinas|Mike Paradinas]]. The tapes came to wider attention in the early 2000s when they leaked onto peer-to-peer file-sharing networks such as [[Wikipedia:Soulseek|Soulseek]], and are now widely available on sites like [[Wikipedia:YouTube|YouTube]].

==Background==
*''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'' seems to be sourced from a cassette tape containing a (presumably) hand-selected set of pre-''[[BoC Maxima]]'' tracks. The leaking of these tracks to p2p networks ([[wikipedia:Soulseek|Soulseek]], originally) provided much drama on [[WATMM]].
* Commonly referred to as ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'', due to its label; however, according to the [[Twoism forum]] user dealer, who posted new photos of the cassette and liner notes, it is also the true ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 1]]'' (and not [[Random_35_Tracks_Tape|the tape previously assumed to be OTV1]]). But, on the other hand, the [[WATMM|WATMM forum]] user phaelam posted new scans from a different angle which depict ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'' as the cover and the cassette label. This leads to believe [[Boards of Canada]] used two different labelings for the very same cassette. See the two conflicting [[Old_Tunes_Vol._1#Artwork|scans]] below.

== Availability ==
* A rip can be downloaded at [http://rareboc.org rareboc.org].

==Cover==
* According to KToiBalToi: "the girl on the cover of "a few old tunes" is Louise Campbell, the younger sister of [[Peter Iain Campbell|(Peter) Iain Campbell]] who has worked with them on other art projects. I think it was taken as a still from an old family video."<ref>http://medlibrary.org/medwiki/Talk:Old_Tunes</ref>
** The image is also used on the cover of ''[[Hi Scores (release)|Hi Scores]]''.

==Samples/Lyrics==
*A sample from a [[wikipedia:pornographic movie|porn movie]] in [[P:C:]].
*Large chunks of the [[wikipedia:Colonel Abrams|Colonel Abrams]] song "Trapped" in "[[Trapped]]".
*A sample from an advertisement for a cleaning product in [[Devil]].
*A sample from the British game show [[wikipedia:Blockbusters (game show)|Blockbusters]] in [[Blockbusters|the song of the same name]].
*"[[The Way You Show]]" contains a loop sampled from "[[wikipedia:Celebration (song)|Celebration]]" by [[wikipedia:Kool & the Gang|Kool & the Gang]].

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* [[Twoism forum]] user Sandrail has proposed that the reversed sample in the middle of the track may be a news report regarding the "free the pike" protests that occurred circa 1994-95 in Massachusetts.<ref>https://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=301084#p301084</ref>

== Samples / Lyrics ==
*Transcription of the 37sec reversed sample used 2:36 and 6:45 of this track:
**Voice 1: Organizers say their next step will be building coalitions, drafting the initiative, and planning a petition drive to get the issue on the ballot. The Massachusetts activists say they know what they want and they know they don't trust their legislators to deliver it. Such a direct democracy is typical of initiative states but in both Massachusetts and Connecticut public financing is seen as the most comprehensive solution to an election system dominated by fundraising. Democrats and Republicans appear to share this view.
**Voice 2: I'm a capitalist, I mean, I have my own businesses.
**Voice 1: Dr Phil McCormick is a physician and inventor from Carlisle, Massachusetts.

__TOC__

== Comments ==
* Occasionally referred to as "[[5d]]" despite there being little basis for this assumption other than the length of the track being similar to that of a known track length of an unreleased song.
* The video below for "[[5d]]" is a part of the official [[BoC]] playlist selected by BoC which does give credence to track "[[R35TT A06]]" being "[[5d]]".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/user/boardsofcanada/playlists</ref>

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* The initial sample in this track, lasting the duration of the piece, is a pitch/speed-altered version of the base sample for the track "[[Seven Forty Seven|Seven Forty Seven]]" released as part of the [https://www.discogs.com/release/2024532 Warp20 (Unheared)] compilation.
* It also plays a very light sample, around 3 minutes 20 seconds in, of a woman with a southern American accent apparently pulling up to a drive-through fast food ordering microphone and asking "Yes, what comes with, uh, chicken fingers?" This same sample is played in the background of "[[Dave (I'm A Real Traditionalist)]]".
* At 04:04, a heavily manipulated voice can be heard saying "too good to be true". This was discovered by [[Twoism (messageboard)|Twoism]] user personman to be sampled from [[Wikipedia:The_Dave_Clark_Five|The Dave Clark Five]]'s 1967 song "[[Wikipedia:Everybody_Knows_(Dave_Clark_Five_song)|Everybody Knows]]"<ref> {{#widget:YouTube|id=ZkUpU9OhNtQ|start=61}} </ref>

* At 0:28, an unidentified flute sample can be heard that also appears in "[[Seven Forty Seven]]", "[[An Eagle in Your Mind]]", and "[[Opening The Mouth]]" from [http://www.discogs.com/release/2024532 Warp20 (Unheard)], ''[[Music Has the Right to Children]]'', and ''[[Geogaddi]]'' respectively.<ref>https://on.soundcloud.com/hTyV7RsRDJuwoQNB6</ref>

<blockquote>

That tiny room at the beach was absolutely the perfect place for my first time. When we came together, I could feel the hairs growing on my chest. I saw my future. I saw my past. For a few minutes it was like being alive and they live happily ever after. All my questions had been answered. And all my fears disappeared. All that was left was... the kiss. Every move we made was a kiss.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGKhFfMUTwc&t=120s</ref>

*"[[Sir Prancelot Brainfire]]" uses a full excerpt of the Piccadilly Players version of Sir Prancelot<ref>https://www.discogs.com/Unknown-Artist-Golden-Hour-of-Childrens-TV-Favourites/release/7027071</ref><ref>https://www.allmusic.com/album/release/those-pesky-kids-mr0000562397</ref>, a theme song of the cartoon ''[http://www.toonhound.com/sirprancelot.htm The Adventures of Sir Prancelot]''. According to [[wikipedia:Mike Paradinas|Mike Paradinas]], this specific version of the theme comes from the 1972 vinyl release of [https://www.discogs.com/release/7027071-Unknown-Artist-Golden-Hour-of-Childrens-TV-Favourites Golden Hour of Children's T.V. Favourites].<ref>https://thequietus.com/interviews/bakers-dozen/mike-paradinas-u-ziq-heterotic-favourite-albums/2/</ref> It has an added synth line throughout, and includes a sample of a monologue found in the adult film [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128647/ "Summer of '72"] during the "Camberwick Green"<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTIWWupaaZE</ref> middle eight section of the excerpt<ref>http://forum.watmm.com/index.php?showtopic=18695</ref><ref>https://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3070</ref>. The same monologue sample is used in "[[Sixtyniner]]".

*[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128647/ "Summer of '72"] is also the source of the background music sample used in [[Niagara]] and [[P:C:]], as well as [[Sixtyniner]], which uses the same monologue sample as above.

<blockquote>

"The only track that I can find online from the record is the Boards Of Canada version of the Sir Prancelot theme. They had the same album as me, and it was definitely an influence on them. Mike [Sandison, one half of BoC] told me this years ago, because they sent me demos when they were starting out. That Prancelot tune was on there and I noticed it was just ripped off this record that I had. All they’ve added is some ghostly voices over the middle eight."

Autechre 1997 UK tour

2025-05-26T21:27:51Z

Romer: +some insights from the finity leaker

{{Infobox Live
| name = Unknown
| venue = [https://www.discogs.com/label/763036-The-Venue-Edinburgh The Venue], Edinburgh, Scotland

| date = 20th February 1997

__TOC__

== Flyer ==
'''Edinburgh'''
*'''Autechre''' and '''Bawds Of Canada''' The Venue, Calton Road, 557 3073. 9pm. £5. Weird, tripped-out experimental electronica from Autechre, a duo hailing from Manchester who have released material on Sheffield's pioneering Warp label. Their music exists somewhere between ambient and industrial and if that sounds like a scary prospect then that's about right. With support from DJ Surgeon and local act Think Tank.<ref>https://archive.list.co.uk/the-list/1997-02-07/55/</ref>

== Tracks==
*According to the recollection of a former associate of the band who claims to have attended this event, [[Boards of Canada]] played "most of the ''[[Boc Maxima (release)|Boc Maxima]]'' tracks and some ''[[Music Has the Right to Children]]'' tracks". They also mention "[[Original Nlogax]]" specifically in response to further inquiry into the setlist. It is unclear which tracks from these releases would have been played; however, in response to the suggestion of "[[Nlogax]]", "[[June 9th]]", "[[Chinook]]", and "[[Whitewater]]" they gave a vaguely affirmative "yep".
