Did you guys know that they spent time in my city and all over Canada? Studying film and advertising and all that? Did you know what inspired them to make the type of eerie songs they do? It was the "National Film Board Of Canada" <----- see those last 3 words! They made weird "Public service announcements" about nature, energy conservation and such things...... thats where they get all these weird ideas and the creepy sounds from! Neat isnt it?... right in my city. |

I LOVE those films! They always showed us them in our science classes years ago, they were great. Nature amazes me. |

the best national film board movies are thoes old really grainy 30 second animal commercial things they show late at night on channel 3. wicked music in thoes. also, project grizzly is a wicked movie. i wanna see pete standing alone! that's what i wanna see! |

Yes I remember when I was really young, in the mid 80's.... im 19 now.... when they played a lot of those videos.... strange stuff. Sounds just like BOC without the nice beats. |

heh, I remember that simpsons episode where they were filming the famous movie of the Big Foot walking through the forest... heh, that's hilarious... hmmm, everything seems to remind me of the simpsons today... |

ya a lot of their music seems to be reminiscent of those old public announcement films.. a lot of thier samples really sound like them too: "energy conservation... (bla bla bla) by the time im a parent, there may not be enough energy to go around" "when hot magma errupts from the earths surface" .......etc.... especially some of those cool vintage (almost detuned sounding) synth sounds... |

yeah...i have a lot of weird memories of tv in the eighties..especially being a nerd who watched pbs documentaries a lot...remember that show with that guy who wore a unitard with internal organs on it? or that commercial with the crying indian? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

You can borrow those old NFB movies from the library, its awesome, all kinds of tripped out "graphic experiments" and documentaries. Man I love that stuff. |
||||||||
|
|

holy smokes i remember that commercial with the indian crying......i love pbs........now i love discovery.....discovery health....TLC....and history channel. i'm not a TV addict but i can watch nature shows till the cows come home =) |

yeah someone in a car threw some garbage on the side of the road near an indian reservation, where an injun was walking alongst the road. the garbage/food splatters all by the injuns foot and the camera pans and zooms in on the injun's face and shows a small tear trickling down. it was for a littering / environmental compaign. ANYWAY, THE GUY IS NOT CRYING BECAUSE YOU DUMPED GARBAGE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HE IS CRYING BECAUSE THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT TOOK AWAY HIS LAND AND RAPED AND KILLED HIS PEOPLE. |
||||||||

|
|
at least that's what i think i'd be crying about if i was injun :| |

wildlife analysis basically IS the music from those nature commercials, but resequenced |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i gotta get my ass down to the library for some nfb! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wayout, the guy with the unitard with the internal organs printed on it was 'Slim Goodbody'. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think they sample a lot from those flix. |
||||||||
|

|
|
can anyone tell me if it is worth buying the new boc album? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Oh my yes. Definitly worth buying the new BoC. It's amazing. |
||||||||
|

Well, I left a CD case at work last night and Geogaddi was in it. I want to cry. I won't be at work again until Sarurday. I've haven't been playing an album this regularly in years and now I've left it for entire week. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Of course you should buy it. |
