Boards of Canada - Sleep Mix 

for the last time, i did not put the ads here or on any of the mixes myself. they contain copyrighted music, meaning youtube puts ads on them automatically to give the revenue to the label owners.

I'm thoroughly convinced that BoC and Aphex Twin are some of the greatest artists of all time.

If you're choosing just one BoC compilation - make it this one.

I love their music like a dear friend

These guys are absolute magic. They're like a reminder of why we are alive.

really nice to see all these wonderful comments, thanks everyone

Kiteracer 2 is outrageous.

I've been listening to their music for almost a decade and all I can say is that Boards Of Canada reached something that goes beyond art and music, they're a state of conciousness for me and the reason why I say this is.. you can have all of their gear, their sound engineering techniques and you can even compose melodies that match theirs but there's something beyond the music that no one else can match.. if there's really a greater wisdom and understanding about existence then Marcus and Mike had a grasp of it. I've listened to dozens of artists that were inspired by their music (and even tribute albums), artists that most people consider similar to BOC but no one else can capture the mystique of their music. To me it feels like there's some kind of spirit(s) behind their music that inspires all kinds of emotions, memories and thoughts.. spirits from nature/existence that whisper into your conciousness through the melodies and rhythms that Marcus & Mike create and somehow they're the only ones who can have access to them (the only one that is on par with them only sometimes is Aphex Twin imo, he's the other one who has access to this). I think this is the closest I've been to describe how unique their music is no matter what. There won't be enough words to describe how life changing was their music to me. There's incredibly good artists out there and you can have all of them but BOC is truly one of a kind for me and their impact in modern music is probably the greatest of the past 20 years... they alone created the idea of ​​nostalgia for past times in music that everyone is using now from Underground scenes to Pop music. They alone cemented both sonically and visually this idea since the mid 90's to mid 2000's and then everyone else came after. While everyone was looking to the future at that time Marcus & Mike were looking to the opposite side getting inspiration from what it was, what would have been and what could not be.

There is something about Boards of Canada that is ... hard to explain. Almost some sort of a religious experience concerning music.

this mix helped me face some monsters I had on a bad trip cheers

Boards of Canada's music, especially pieces like these, is so humbling. At the same time as making you think about the world, space, universe and how insignificant you are within it. It can also make you feel so important, so lucky to have the chance to live for your period of time. Knowing I am with all of you here, listening to all these beauteous sounds and enjoying them, makes me a happy person! Thank you BoC

Imagine if our comments will still be visible in 100 years. imagine boards of canada in 100 years. i would want to be rememberd as living in the pre automic war era to this playlist

if the universe could make music this is what it would sound like

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm a therapist and I often play this mix for patients, many of whom have remarked on the calming quality of the music and sounds...you've helped a lot of people by putting this together!

This is by far the best BoC ambient mix I've ever heard. If I ever have the chance to meet the Sandison brothers, I would like to shake their hands and thank them for everything they've done. I'm sure the guy who created this mix, would want to do the same.

Still listening , over 5 years , thx

This music makes me sad, but I like it.

Their music is medicine for the tormented and broken soul.

Kiteracer 2 is their saddest, most haunting ambient piece in my opinion. It has always reminded me of death and stillness, and the impossibly unavoidable attachment that we have to the world inside and out of our minds. It sounds like a representation of our inability to disconnect from the world we find ourselves in, and the naivety within each attempt we make to understand what life and death really is. It's like the sound of being in awe over our child like state as the human race. Amazement, confusion, love, courage and fear, all swirling in our liquid electric dream states.

Boards of Canada...Their music is just a mystery in itself. A sense of nostalgia - even if those feelings are for something that never happened to begin with. On top of it, you can't help but relax, or become..entirely sullen. As a few comments have said, it can make youfeel one way or the other. It's always a mystery in every piece, there's always more to their music every time you listen. For me, this is my friend. BOC Music is always my friend. The friend that doesn't go away. It's always there...

I can't fall asleep without this mix anymore. Hearing 1986 Summer Fire just makes me sleepy now.

This is my smoke, meditate, relax, escape, and repeat medicine.

I listened to this on my phone in bed, really put me in the dreamy mood. I love it on fullmoon nights; when the moon is so pure white, and it's at the right angle, I can see it from my bedroom window and the shapes it casts through my curtains in my room. It stirs night-time imagination as I melt into my thoughts, and thoughts entangle into dreams.

27:26 Dandelion is so mesmerizing in this; almost feels like reaching a higher state of being for a minute there. Everything on here, though, is spectacular!

Boards of Canada have the most beautiful music I have ever heard.

"tears from the compund eye" Is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard from BoC. Sounds especially good in this mix

It's literally like getting high off of space. Amazing.

This shit is definitely going to help me through this break up. Boards of Canada is pure magic from concentrate.

Laying at night listening to this has led to some of the most peaceful moments of my life

It's a BOC kind of day.

this has become my go to playlist lately and has paired extremely well with late night drives on the warm summer nights, windows down, music up. boards of canada makes me feel like im a child again, every song stroking my nostalgic neural pathways like a true artist who's mastered their craft.

I'm mostly quite sceptic about people editing/remixing and even mixing Boards of Canada, but man... This is pure beauty... The way you put these tracks altogether is uttermost stunning, however.. I find the transition between You Could Feel The Sky and Kaini Industries a little bit odd. Their atmosphere doesn't really sound the same to me. But that's just a personal opinion. You made a true piece of art, buddy. Congratulations and thank you so much for making this.

The first thing that I ever heard by BOC was Wildlife Analysis. I'm not kidding when I say that within 10 seconds that I knew that I had discovered greatness.

I gotta thank my chef for introducing me to boc, their pieces are so amazing

"Smallest Weird Number" is fantastic. The chord at 6:00 is.., just wow.

i am currently listening to this on lsd, you make me happy man

sweet mother of god, this is absolutely perfect. i have a hard time falling asleep to BoC normally because i find myself becoming nostalgic whether because the tune reminds me of a childhood memory or to when i first discovered their music and would consume it 24/7. It truly is my soundtrack of my life. Now I can enjoy BoC while I sleep! Kudos.

this music makes time travel possible... it transports me to another place and time

No time, no space Another race of vibrations The sea of the simulation.. Keep your feelings in memory I love you, especially tonight

I used to listen to this mix on the Metro North train headed towards the city from a long day of hiking upstate NY. The summer sun, the blue sky, the smell of the ocean nearby, the Hudson River and the lush greenery above it. I'd be exhausted from the strenuous work and nestle into a seat by the window on the train and watch the world go by. This music made me feel so safe and calm during those trips. Such a relaxed cool down and brief escape from the city.

A year later and I still jam this AT LEAST once a week. I even downloaded both parts from the link and merged them into one continuous hour and 28 minute song and even shaved off a bit to fit it on a blank CD so now I can even listen to it in my truck on long drives. What you did here is a miracle, Naked Flames. Great job on this again!

Olson has to be one of the most relaxing, optimistic, beautiful, serene ambient tracks ever, let alone how it sounds in this mix. It's vibe is so positively uplifting.

Excellent BOC mix for watching the leaves move in the wind.

I’ve listened to this playlist since you made it. My music taste is very diverse. From country, drill rap, pop, rock, pretty much anything. But boards of Canada is different, and it goes beyond art, it’s pure nostalgia. I don’t know how they made these busted tape machines and old keyboards carry so much emotion

I pray this video remains on RU-vid for many years to come. It is far too often that amazing compilations/remixes are snatched away. This particular video I have been watching since 2016, it's done so perfectly and has worked well for me for quite some time.

to this day, I still believe that Over the Horizon Radar, is the most beautiful, emotion-inspiring song on this planet.

The haunting nostalgia of some vague memory you have from a parallel timeline.

Good idea i hate when i'm drifting off then the next track on an album cranks it.

7 years listening to this mix since u uploaded it... again, thank you so much! =)

This is awesome, my favorite tracks by BoC are the ones without drums.

Best mix for relaxing and studying

love this. Downloading it and putting it on my phone for my flight next week. Perfect flying through the clouds music.

This is my favorite collection of any work of art, ever. This video was entirely responsible for the success of me studying back when I was a freshmen in high school along with being able to take me to such a calming and esoteric space with every listen from 2015-2018. Thank you so much for uploading this. You showed me Boards of Canada.

12:36 AMAZING . HONEY FOR MY SOUL.

Welcome to the best.

long, long time ago I felt in endless love with Zoetrope.

It would usually suck to be trying to fall asleep for an hour unless there's pure musical bliss

Dandelion is in reverse and it sounds incredible!! What a track with awesome Leslie Nielsen sample.

Simply perfect. Greetings from Brazil

Great choice of their ambience. I will visit this often. Thanks for sharing!

i gently fell asleep to this last night, thank you

Whatever happens in life, every struggle, ever happy side of it, I will always come back to this part. BoC for Life.

Its like a compilation of my most precious childhood memories. Seriously one of my favourite things on youtube. Weird how a mix of slowed down music can mean so much

kiteracer 2 is one of my favourite songs of all time.

Just a quick thank you for putting this together. I consider BoC essential during the lockdown here in the UK.

Your low-pitch version of Olson is magic. I listen to it when I'm alone, reminding me some good moments, bad moments, girls I used to love, stories that didn't end well.. But I think this is life and this song keeps telling you to go forward and to not look back even if you are suffering there is always light even in the darkest moments. Thank you man for what you did, we need songs like this one to keep going, especially after the tragic events that happened in my country and in my city few days ago.. (Sorry for my bad English, I'm French).

Kiteracer 2.

man oh man i always tear up in the ending of this mix. the songs there are just something else. and who can forget the intro of everything you do is a balloon. simply magic
