JAroen Guest Posted: Sun Nov 28, 2004 12:18 pm Post subject: anyone ever hear this great band called 'boards of canada' ? shiiit, you could've at least tried to put an original twist to your website and the artwork. of course there's emulating good sounds, but looking at your site made me cringe. shameless ripoff.hah oh and the track names are just too much Back to top Arnie Guest Posted: Sun Nov 28, 2004 12:28 pm Post subject: yeah, I just got this sample from their new album...

One of the posts (search for "BOC"): tycho Site Admin Joined: 18 Sep 2002 Posts: 51 PostPosted: Sat Dec 06, 2003 10:22 am Post subject: Reply with quote I have been listening to a lot of Jeff Buckley and Elliot Smith lately.... But my favorite electronic stuff would include Manitoba, Four Tet, Arovane, Brothomstates, BOC, , casino vs. japan, broker / dealer and some nautilus. Yeah, LTJ is nice too, I used to really be into the logical progression stuff. I outght to pull some of it out, been a while since I listened....... thanks. - scott Evidently he knows of BOC (no shit you say). I mean, respect to the guy for replicating BOC's sounds, but fuck being such a ripoff and then acting like it's your original music style. Damn. |

I'm betting his next release is gonna be titled "music has the right to Tycho" |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
shouldn't that be "Tycho has the right to music"? |

Maybe its just me, but other than the artwork (and font), I don't really think of BOC. This is a lot less... melancholy and has a lot more traditional melodies. I'm positive its influenced by BOC, but doesn't sound like the style is as completely ripped as you say it is. I've only listened to a few songs, though. |

It's just you. |

blech, are you blind to for example the fonts, rainbows, numbers and sky / countryside like album cover? |

Musicians think they have to imitate their heroes to learn their craft, but it's a lie. They become mere imitators 99% of the time, unable to break free from the constraints that guided their artistic evolution. Far better to be completely untutored and reinvent the wheel as a triangle or a sandwich. |

life would be easier if boc didn't exist at all. why didn't someone copy the incredible string band,for christs sake. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this could simply mean that that 99% wouldn't be able to come up with anything interesting anyway, whichever route they took. not everyone can be a great artist, after all. |

Maybe BOC if you mixed it with elevator music. |
||||||||
|

pretty bad |

I figger if they weren't trying to do grate art at least maybe they'd do something quaint. |

Music has the right to homages. I have created , perhaps representatives of other nations could do their own Boards of... and we could have an IDM United Nations type BOCouncil. |

|
|
no |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the beats are trite the melodies are practically the same on each track (higher synth line with a simpler, lower synth line) the songs all sound the same |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fuck the xlt codex |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, and it takes advantage of the same or incredibly similar synth sounds in every song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hahaha! Credible! Since I'm already in Canada I guess I have to be Boards of Scotland. How to get started... ehrm... do the Scots have TV shows about wildlife..? |
||||||||
|
|

|

let's attac the tycho MB |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah I didn't think about that, yes it's your right to be Boards of Scotland then, or Bawds a' Scawtlan' maybe, I can't do the accent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it SORT OF has been attacked, I couldn't really help myself |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
me neither... lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it's a bit weak to go and attack his mb. proves how mature people are here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I tried to offer constructive criticism. Maybe he won't kill himself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
common! there are some things in life you just can't ignore! this is pretty bad, tycho is not in reality, maybe thanks to our "constructive criticism" he will come back in a year with an original album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true...afteral he did music for us,not for himself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that doesnt really qualify as an attack. Vestron said it best "maybe thanks to our "constructive criticism" he will come back in a year with an original album." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I've been listening to this guy for ages now, hes a really good designer as well. Its different to BoC, slightly, its feels more upbeat |
||||||||
|

thats mad, just went to this guys site and the tune dictaphones lament started playing over autechre "eggshell" which is playing on my computer anyway and they kinda fitted!!!! |

oh my god |
||||||||
|
|

that's INSANE |

I believe the proper expression you guys are looking for is: O.o |

OMG :O |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

It's a clone yeah, but it's still excellent music says I. Same deal as Clifford Gilberto I guess. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

Listened to the album today; some of the songs aren't too bad, but damn, it's more than BOC "influenced". The guy owes his entire damn existence to BOC. The music doesn't quite have the depth and awesome quality that BOC has, though, although it sounds damn similar. That said, as somebody else pointed out, it does have more of an "upbeat" feel to it; this probably leads to the fact that I can see this music getting a lot more "mainstream" (sic) exposure. I don't know what's worse; that the guy won't admit his music style isn't unique but copies BOC, or the fact that this guy, if he plays his cards right, might get quite well known. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Quite well known for his "unique music style", I mean. Yipes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That must set a world record for boring: A Really Good Boards of Canada Clone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
RE: more upbeat: Yes, the breaks are more mainstream too. Not all the tracks sound like BoC clones in themselves, but enough do that it's fairly blatant. Some of the distorted "real instruments" make me think of Four Tet too. Odds on that at least one track off it will be on TV before the end of next year? |
||||||||
|
|

|

I recognised it as yours- the beats gave it away. Good work though. Let me know if you finish it, I'd be interested in hearing the finished thing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like it so far. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
odds are you're right. that said, it's not unusual to hear boc, plaid or many other better known idm artists on tv; typically backgrounds in arty farty home improvement shows or something. |
