One time when I was a kid I was watching PBS, for five minutes a digital background, square green lines, with roller-coaster tracks, one mining cart just continuously going in circles around the track and glitches in-between every few seconds appeared a face saying something I couldn't understand. I was mesmerized and couldn't look away, I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen on TV at that age.
Back before ebay ruined Goodwill I used to buy 35mm cameras that sometimes had half-exposed rolls of film in them. Getting them developed revealed pictures of what sometimes were ghosts of people past.
@@davidrobert2007 Same! A month ago I found a Canon SX700 HS at Value Village with the 32gig micro card still in it for $10!!! There were tons of family photos and videos of a trip to Africa (looked like a Safari tour)... Wow! Sadly, there was no way of returning the card to the family, I have no clue who they are! But, now I know why these are showing up at thrift stores... I took it along for a recent trip and found it was easier to use my Samsung cellphone for pictures and video than carrying the bulky camera ...
I wish I could go back to the 90’s when technology was slowly becoming a part of our lives, and low quality picture/sound in videos was still a thing. Something about it is just so comforting to me.
@@sirkayda7205 I’m not saying this is low quality. The sound of this reminds me of a time when low quality audio recordings were still common when listening to some music on a computer or a digital device
@@bandolierboy1908 I feel where you’re coming from and yes this stuff is lo-fi quality. I’m old enough to remember the ‘80s and ‘90s and this stuff does feel like lo-fi underground music of yesteryear.
Phony nostaglia kills! I grew up in the 80's and when the music sounded like this it meant the car stereo was eating your expensive tape. This was followed by CD players that skipped every time someone sneezed. People would break into your car just to steal your music! Low tech is bad tech - nothing comforting about stuff that doesn't work right. I am extremely grateful for modern tech and love the fact that I can put hundreds of lossless albums on a USB stick which hides in my armrest.
@@tpink3792 Phony nostalgia? No. Considering I was a young boy when I heard music on tapes and on low quality videos that had sound quality nearly identical to this video, I find it quite comforting despite it being low tech. Different perspectives my friend. When making my original comment I was making it a bit half assed and didn’t quite explain in depth, and was mainly referring to the very first song in this video as my main reference point for the sound quality I was reminiscing on. Sorry for any confusion
I'm pretty sure this is just a "visual mixtape" from a huge BoC fan, which combined his own work (or maybe from others), including two covers of the duo. Having said that, it's pretty damn good and I'm glad you reuploaded it, so thank you. For all we know, there could be a bandcamp page with all the tracks from this video.
duh. are you that gullible? but one day we will make fake 80s and 90s news and bumpers and entrie commercials for products that didnte xist but which have toie ins to shit that DID exist making peopel wonder what alternate reality we got it from tyhen peopel will manifest it lol
I agree, the main reason being that of it were just a ripped recording from a VHS, it probably wouldnt still say Play at the beginning. Either way though its sick
Was the visuals on the tape? if not it will be a ADAT or VHS tape being used in place of an official ADAT. ADAT's are the Alesis Digital Audio Tape, which is a magnetic tape format used for the recording of eight digital audio tracks onto the same S-VHS tape used by consumer VCRs. Would be interesting to see if the tracks, separate audio channels, could be stemmed out.
Would it? Cuz this is the most boring thing I’ve ever seen. Horrible music, to a backdrop of clouds and sky? Yea, hope we never lose this footage for sure. What would we become as a society?
@@alexistrebexis3195 i honestly don't see why you need to complain, i like the music because i feel like it has a nostalgic factor to it, but you trying to bash my interests is kind of pathetic really. you're hating for no reason honestly.

My friken heart just jumped a beat there when track 16 "See Ya Later" came on. That tune was my very first introduction to BOC when I stumbled upon listening to them back in 2005
Done. I have just downloaded this video and will upload it when I'm eighty years old, so that someone can download it again, record it into a space-nuclear-mutant VHS and continue a never-ending cycle until the end of human civilization.
Boards of Canada is not the only artist that makes music like this….. there’s many that never got famous, it’s hard to blow up like they did when you’re an instrumental artist for the obvious reason you can’t search for the lyrics to identify instrumental pieces…
If the Boards of Canada tracks weren't included I might've believed it really was some long lost BoC style music, but throwing those in makes it seem like a hoaxer is trying a bit too hard to nudge us into thinking that. There's still some nice stuff on here though.
do you never look for bluffs and double bluffs? Why wouldn't BOC throw old BOC in to throw us. To get you saying this, so that I'm saying this. To start discussion. I love all this. Don't you?
@@rfcalm The possibilities are 1) BoC decided to put out music which doesn't particularly sound like their style on an obscure VHS tape, and didn't release that music anywhere else or 2) some nobody of a music producer wanted to get their music more exposure so they threw in a couple of BoC tracks among theirs and invented a backstory. I won't say this *definitely* isn't BoC but I find possibility 2) much more likely.
Can whoever created this fake story for clickbait just make their music available rather than fabricating some lost media story and slotting in BOC's name for added mystery? Great music don't care for the fiction.
Back in the late 60's (ancient history to most of you) a host of College FM radio stations across the US popped up as part of the schools curriculum for Communication Degrees, this gave a window of opportunity for artistic audio experimentation to many people of all walks of life. They would often create, weird, strange and sometimes amazing collages of sound using fragments from many recordings as well as live performances of music most often by unknown composers and by "people just fucking around". At times combined with the spoken word, sound effects and ambient sounds. Sometimes the "Music" was recorded to be played and or distributed to be sold OR at times it was preformed "live" in the studio as part of a collective Art Project (Think Laurie Anderson here). This tradition still continues to this day on College Campuses world wide. They're usually broadcasted very late night, when most of the world is asleep. I often set my Reel 2 Reel to record during those hours back then. The following mornings I discovered rare gems of magic on those tapes. After 60 years, I still have some of them.
I remember those days. It was extremely exciting because at that time there was and never had been anything like it broadcast on radio before. It was a whole new world. College stations also played records that you would never hear on radio normally. Like to hear Pink Floyd’s Ummagumma selection The Narrow Way or obscure tracks from Donovan albums. This was stuff that was never played on radio so it was jaw dropping to hear it. Radio should be that free again and not just on college stations. There’s something about a broadcast with possibly thousands listening simultaneously that is totally different than hearing something like a stream or a RU-vid playlist.
UTEP was still hosting great indie radio back in the 70's. Ho Baron's show Howorld was really popular among local punk bands at the time. The Headstand on Dyer would get some of the most experimental indie music back then thanks to weird tastes among Fort Bliss people. I had an album that was actually covered in a sheet of tin.
I forgot to add the following. The original uploader was called 'The Thrift Store Anomaly'. They also posted the place they found the thrifted VHS: The Red White and Blue Thrift Store at 935 Ohio River Blvd., Avalon, Pennsylvania That gives some credibility to the fact that they may have actually just found it. I still think the original VHS was not made by Boards of Canada though and just a random person. Anyway, thought I'd give you the entire context if you want to believe this is a Boards of Canada VHS tape :P Edit: more information has come to light about the original VHS. People on twoism.org have found that there was information about the original tracklist in a google cache. The tracklist from that cache: 1. Intro 2. Eureka 3. Tilt-a-whirl 4. Lunardreamz 5. Cytosine 6. Kaleidoscope 7. Fractal 8. Raindancer 9. 9teen70 10. Untitled

I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was a tape loop at some hip clothing store in the area, something that the owner created themselves to provide a 'shopping experience' for their customers. I remember going to stores now and then that would have televisions playing random stuff in the corners of the store, so that would be my guess as to this tape's origin and why some of the music is known and some isn't; if they were into the local music scene, there could be local acts on it and that's why it's hard to ID the tracks. Just my unsolicited theory.
@@connor48880 They had one other video explaining more about the tape. I unfortunately didn't watch the video. Shortly after that they deleted the channel. Sorry, I don't have any more information about that second video
im quite sure this is BoC, very early BOC. It can be a demo tape of some kind that got lost and ended up in the thrift store. It happens. The amount of matching samples and sounds, motives that are to be recognized in older and newer work really makes me think this is BOC made demo tape post old tunes but pre official album releases. Similar drum patterens, sampling, textuers, ... For me its to uncanny. Definitely because you have the precursor of more recent racks on there, which is something you can also notice on their other unreleased tapes.
Heard about this today from a DJ on wirelessfm. It certainly sounds like Boards of Canada in parts but the question is why would they do a mix to VHS with a barely moving video and lose it in the USA. Its seems they rarely do gigs so my theory of them messing with tape editing on a tour bus is out. If the found tape part of the story is real then great, someone has done a mix tape and put it on VHS with ambient footage to watch whilst stoned. It's just the sort of thing I would do. Most likely explanation is that someone has created an internet mystery to see how many people bite. Lots of these found VHS tapes are obviously fake.
It's also a perfectly feasible explanation that a record company was looking to put out a BoC video and acquired a mixtape from the band that was knocked up and forgotten about over a weekend and then added some quick visuals as a demo and then the project was abandoned. The tape from the office clearout went home in a box, got mixed up with some crap 80's movies and ended up at a thrift store.
I love your theories, thanks for sharing them. I would agree that the hoax theory seems most feasible. People have been talking about it in Discord servers and seem to be mostly questioning the production value. I think that it fits with the 'a few old tunes' vibe. I just don't see why something like this would be found in the USA. Another thing is that the video got a copyright claim for 'Seeya later'. Assuming the original uploader got the same claim, it is weird that they wrote the description as if they didn't know any of the music on there. I did not think that they could've lost it on tour. If anyone has any connection between BoC and the state this was found in, it could at least be somewhat believable that this is an old BoC tape. That's mostly why I think it's fake. There's no reason for it to be found in a random thrift store in Pennsylvania. Still, nonetheless, I love the entire collection of music and I think it's a real shame the original uploader deleted their whole channel. I might as well sample the tracks that nobody seems to know in the future :P
@@DanFingermanOctopus Well let's not forget how they announced information for Tomorrow's Harvest with their cryptic advertising campaign which began on Record Store Day 2013.
Aha! Wow! I have been listening to the thrift store anomaly since day 1 and just noticed this. There seems to be a lot of tracks that sound like they are early workings of boc tracks.
Weird , that version of Boqurant sounds very rough to the other one I've heard. Like when the saturated Rhodes/synth comes in it's playing that phrase differently. Kinda adds credit to the unreleased Boards theory , as well as these tunes sounding VERY familiar when compared with A Few Old Tunes ... weird af.
You recon the tape was supposed to be played at an event of some kind? Like a video wall in the 80’s/90’s or something? I have a strong feeling it could be someone re-creating BoC, but could be a mish-mash of different Hexagon Sun collective works. Like covering each other’s work. Who knows?
@@DanFingermanOctopus I guess the funny part of us BoC fanboys is that it wouldn't be that far fetched for someone to go to that length. I do that for my drums lol , I've spent years studying their prod techniques , I guess my point is it's still leaving me guessing haha
@@MillywiggZ definitely could see it being a Hexagon Sun collab , the thing is I remember in an interview them saying that it was a collective of different mediums of artists. With not that many musicians if I remember right. The only one I can remember is Chris Horne and he dipped after Twoism. Either way I definitely support your theory for it being someone recreating boards for a project or something.
i recommend you should listen to the entire Boards of Canada discography if you want more their entire musical style can be summed up to proto-vaporwave or vaporwave for the 60s and 70s, maybe some early 80s in some places
You might know a song from the album Geogaddi already, if you know the webseries Salad Fingers. It's my favorite electronic duo, so I would highly recommend listening to them :)
@@DanFingermanOctopus that was the first time I heard BoC too, lol. It's weird because it gave me this impression that they were like a spooky weird ambient soundscape kinda act. It's true their music can be a little unsettling/uncanny in places, but very different vibes overall. It was an unusual track on an unusual album(Geogaddi is still their most "experimental" I'd argue).

Thinking this is a ADAT or VHS tape being used in place of an official ADAT. Not sure if you can store visuals alongside audio tracks but worth finding out, were the visuals on the tape also? If they were am still thinking the master was recorded with the visuals as there would be no change in audio quality as it was likely recorded on ADAT. ADATS came out in 92 and were a staple of project recording studio's by the mid 90's and still in common use in the early 2000's, I used them in a recording studio myself in the early 2000's. ADAT's are the Alesis Digital Audio Tape, which is a magnetic tape format used for the recording of eight digital audio tracks onto the same S-VHS tape used by consumer VCRs. Would be interesting to see if the tracks, separate audio channels, could be stemmed out.
I thought the same thing -- had a friend who had a recording studio and did some tracks on ADAT with him in the late 90's. If memory serves the cassettes looked just like VHS tapes. But like you, not sure about having video on ADAT. If there is a recording engineer following this he/she might know.
It's interesting to hear how things have changed and where thing have developed. I've always been into synth and that type of sound, and all the creativity that went into it. Thank you for the music.
I’m digging this too, it reminds me of some of the tapes I used to listen to way back, chilling in my room at my foster parents completely ignoring the whole ‘no smoking weed indoors’ thing, lol, fun times 🤝
Sounds like an ARP or Roland or Sequential Circuts Sequencer or Yamaha Dx7. Ahh the beauty of mod.bending pitch wheels, ufo & Lfo envelopes, true sine wavelengths utilzing overtone series using 2 VHS decks to manually overlay audio video . And yes it's a pain in the booty but the dedication has given the click dragndrop generation.
I don't care if it's fake or not. I love the music and the lore adds a lot to it. It's just a really nice piece of art saved thanks to you Dan Fingerman.
If this is an attempted BOC impression, it has to be one of the most goddamn impressive BOC impressions i've ever heard. genuinely. This is an almost perfect recreation of the pre-mhrtc BOC sound. I give props to whoever made this because goddamn you're good. I will say though that I know for a fact that some of the drums on the seeya later cover come from a lofi drum sample kit posted in 2015. I will say that it does end up convincing me that this isn't BOC, but god this is so fucking good.

18:06 has me convinced this is absolutely a real BoC mixtape, how it wound up on a VHS cassette is going to be one of those eternal mysteries of the music industry
even in the 1990s it was common to put music on VHS as the sound format was actually really good. VHS sound was replaced by Digital Audio Tape and then CDs. Both rorts and actually shitter formats than the older VHS. It was only once wav files became more manageable that we got something better and accessible.
This is great, sounds more like Cult 48 than BoC. To me it just sounds too pristine in parts. Sounds like it is coming from the Phonec 2 VST and not a massive collection of analogue synths housed in a compound just outside Edinburgh. Love it though, thanks for uploading it.
they said in an interview that they dont have nearly as many synthesizers as people think they do and that a lot of the synth sounds that people think are actually synthesizers are just processed guitars.
Yeah i could be more convinced except that the 7th & 8th tracks specifically (but also a few others) sound nothing like Boc to me and way to modern at that
Ah man, I hope that guy didn't delete his channel on account of the comments. I expressed doubt before reading the entire description...now I feel bad. Thanks for the reupload! This kicks a lot of ass, whatever it's supposed to be
The rest of the tape. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b-3sqi2OjuE.html The video contains music from the Channel Onesixtyfive video, which provided the GPS coordinates for the thrift store where the tape was said to have been found, and which was accessed with the coded URL from the first channel 4226 video. That video's music and footage also appear in the video above, and also what looks like the source footage for the Seeburdz Tumblr page screenshots. I can't say for sure but I think the voice at 0:17 in the Eleven Missing Tracks video sounds like the voice at 2:17 on the first Old Tunes tape. More is said to follow. I think this is likely Boards of Canada.
I have been following as it unfolds as well! I'm ecstatic! The channel with the Random 23 Tracks Tape disappeared and I'm upset because I didn't get to download the awesome film. The Eleven Missing Tracks Tape is interesting I hear early versions of Dayvan Cowboy and Skyliner and some tracks sound so familiar, like early versions of tracks we know.
@@gravijiga If you click sort by, select newest comments and scroll down until you see a comment which starts "Now that some time has passed..." you'll see that the channel that that video was uploaded to was deleted. The video was reuploaded here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZvFIipaxwXo.html There was also this video, uploaded a short time after. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QLNKYwDhDRI.html I no longer believe this was Boards of Canada.
I think there are several aspects speaking for an old mixtape by Boards Of Canada and others don't. Let's debate! Pro BoC: 1. Tonal matches There are some sounds that appear on later BoC songs. First one I recognised is the sequenced synth that fades in at 3:53 which has a very similar tone character to the sequencer synth in Finity. Than there is this drone track starting at 18:06 which has the LFO Noise in it which is close to the LFO Noise on Diving Station. The "covers" of Boquarant and Seeya Later seem for many of you be THE reason that this tape is fan made. In the Boquarant "cover" the lead synth sounds less detailed than Boquarant but the resonating rhodes have almost the same tonal character. The Seeya Later "cover" is incredible close to the original. The Subbass sounds exactly like the Subbass on Seeya Later. Than there comes in this highly significant detuned resonating pad/lead synth. This sound is so specific, it's extremely unlikely that someone else is able to recreate this sound and hitting the tonal character so close. It's not hard to make a synth that acts like this, I'm a music producer with lot of experience, I think I know what I'm talking about but it will sound slightly different. You can hear this when you listen to covers like the Roygbiv Cover by Peter Carpenter. It's detailed and comes close to the original. He's hitting every note but the tonal character of his instruments still is quite different to the original Roygbiv by BoC. I'm not that super familiar with all Old Tune Tapes by BoC as I'm with their full length albums but I'm sure there are more examples hidden on this VHS tape of sounds with a similar tonal character to sounds and instruments from BoCs Old Tunes. 2. The whole sketchy style of this tape fits their style used on their Old Tunes. There are similar cuts and use of samples from ads or TV shows. With their Old Tunes they showed that as teenagers they made this kind of music. There are probably hundreds of sketchy tunes lying around someone's basement on an old cassette which they got as a close friend by BoC before BoC started to officially release albums on Warp Records. 3. Someone posted this before and it's more of a gut feel argument than an objective consideration but I feel the same and I think it's an important one. This person said that these tunes here give him a feeling that only Boards Of Canada is able to make him feel. I have the same. On this VHS tape are some tracks that are resonating deeply with my soul and triggering weird feelings in my subconscious which only Boards Of Canada is able to. 4. Not much people are able to copy the unique sound by Boards Of Canada. There are simply not many people who could copy their music coming so close to their sound and those tonal characters. I know there are some people like Christ., µ-Ziq, Tycho, Casino Versus Japan, Loess or the Cult 48 guess by another comment who make music similar to BoC but it's just similar. They have very own sub-styles and if it was one of them you'd hear! Cult 48s style comes closest to this tape but not close enough. Their beats are more layered, with a much heavier use of glitch effects. Their melodies are more complicated. The melodies on this tape are much more direct. It's just really improbable that out there is an unknown talent that is able to create a vhs tape like this. It's simply more probable that this tape is by Boards Of Canada themselves. Contra BoC: 1. Lot of these tracks sounds like BoC but other parts just doesn't sound like them at all. 1.a. This organ sound starting at 11:26 and the way it's played, the rhythm is very untypical for BoC. Also the drums have an impactful element in them which sounds too heavy for a BoC tune. On the other hand almost every other instrument in this track sounds a lot like BoC. 1.b. This whole guitar track starting at 20:18 sounds nothing like BoC. They didn't used guitars back than, certainly not in such a pop-song style. Also this sequenced poly synth has a filter automation which sounds too advanced. And this whole song has some pop-styled transitions which doesn't sound like BoC at all. In my opinion this track is the most suspect, not the "covers". Only way I could think of BoC making such an untypical track is them being teenagers in love with the unreachable, popular girl on their high school and trying to make a less weird and more pop-styled track to impress her. ;D Neutral arguments: 1. Some comment it's unlikely that an old VHS tape by our favourite Scottish brothers appears in the US. Why not. They gave cassette tapes to family and friends. Of course it's possible one of their family members or friends lived in the US and over the years this VHS tape found it's way to a thrift store cause someone decided to tidy up his attic. In my opinion a mere geographical argument has no weight. 2. Some argue that this is a fanmade scam trying to build up a mystery so that his fanmade music gains a lot of attention. What a shitty promotion would that be. If you want attention for your own project, it's dump to copy the sound of another famous band just to make everyone think it could be them. You would want the whole world to know it's you making those tracks. Yes maybe in some weeks someone is disclosing the secret saying it all was his work with a devilish laugh but I really doubt that someone is trying to promote his own stuff in such a devious way nowadays. I might be wrong but at the end of my analysis I think the pro arguments predominant the contra arguments. I think this VHS tape has some real Boards Of Canada stuff on it but still I have some doubts left. If you liked my analysis I would like to ask you to check out my own music. I released an album highly inspired by BoC, Aphex Twins Selected Ambient Works and some clearly hearable Shoegaze influences a year ago called "tales of a beautiful life" but it got lost in the depths of the Internet and gained no attention which was quite frustrating. So I would be grateful if some BoC fans would check it out cause I think people who love Boards Of Canada would appreciate my music.
Your Contra BoC reasoning may also be a good explanation of why most of these tracks weren't chosen to be on an official album release. If they are in fact the real thing
The brothers have said themselves that they've made music that doesn't fit their main style, it's still on the table for the songs that sound more like AFX or even Autechre. That's a really good analysis.
It would not surprise me if many of our made in china recording devices send our best works in progress overseas where the good ideas get analysed, extracted, bastardized, and released to mainstream artists to make a killing from... Thus bypassing anyone with actual integrity . cha-ching cha-ching --- thee end .
Maybe its like a 'Rosetta stone of music' that BoC discovered by chance, and then, formulated and based their sound of it. Then, the tape mysteriously vanished. 🥺
This is not BoC but its more impressive that it's not, in that someone really did their homework and put together their inspirations of multiple lofi artists into an incredibly cerebral mix! Thanks for the upload there Dan, you found a gem.
Back in the day (late 70s, early 80s), there was "experimental" music, some with nature sounds. Some awesome music came out of that era, like Pat Metheny, or bands like the Art of Noise, even the sound track to Blade Runner (listen to all on RU-vid). This was an awesome time for music. I think people should bring it back, and get rid of a lot of the trash music that only perpetuates negative energy, thoughts, life and frequency.
I came across this while reading some comments off a video I posted on RU-vid 14 years ago with a BoC soundtrack. Only to find this surfaced five days ago. The wind is howling outside, I live alone in the desert now, and this all seems to make sense somehow.
This music is dope. I dig the boc vibes with less dissonance. I love boc because of the dreamy quality their sound has but too much dissonance sometimes. I actually stumbled upon this last when in a slightly altered state and it was perfect thanks for the upload. This is a gem!
As a person who has remade many BOC on my channel, these sounds are very close to BOC, even the music theory seems right on some of them. I have no idea if it is BOC or not but if it is not, it is someone who understands it very well. Maybe the person who did it is in Redondo Beach, California because I hear some radio from there.
There's more out there on this tape. I'll explain. I fallowed this tape when it was posted originally in Jan. I didn't know who boards of canada was until now. I discovered this on a reddit post in a thrift store forum. The guy was posting it to see what other thrift store junkies had to say about it. It sat on youtube for 2 months and had not many views. I found the post in a thrift store facebook group reposted from reddit. wish I would've saved the original post. The reason I say there's more or seems to be, because a day ago a channel emerged with strange coding on it. when you decipher the coding in the first video, it decodes into a link to another video and in that other video is gps coordinates to the said thrift store where the person supposedly found the vhs. It looks like there's more material to come about.
What was the channel name and how did you know how to decipher the code? Why do you say it looks like there's more material to come about? Assuming this is Boards of Canada I reckon the original uploader is in on everything.
@@filmnoirprotagonist1436 The channel name was "The Thrift Store Anomaly". Channel 4226, Forty-Two Twenty-Six and Channel Onesixtyfive are the channels that posted ARG-like comments in this video. We watched it all unfold so it was kind of a group effort. My guess is that the reason this user says there could be more is because one of the comments states "There will be more to come" and in the follow up explanation video to the original upload of this music, the guy said he snagged 4 VHS that day so one would assume there is more to come out of this.
@@snownestling Thanks! The AI Music Experience said a channel emerged a day before writing the comment above, which I assumed to be a channel other than the one the mixtape was originally uploaded to. Do you know what channel that was?
@@filmnoirprotagonist1436 There were 3 of them. Note: the runtime for the VHS music is 42:26. 1. Channel 4226 2. Forty-two Twenty-Six 3. Channel Onesixtyfive
@@snownestling Thanks again! The description for the only public video on Channel 4226 contains what looks like morse code, binary and a dead link. Presumably this is deciphered to get the link to the video of GPS co-ordinates for the thrift store? Is this video unlisted on Channel Forty-Two Twenty-Six? The video on Channel Onesixtyfive seems to suggest that something is going to happen on the 7th of April. Is there an ongoing discussion about this online anywhere?
In '87 I bought a then-new Sony v5 8mm camcorder and literally shot thousands of hours of footage with it for the next 15 years. It went everywhere with me - all footage was transferred to VHS just after recording it. Now in 2022 I'm finally getting around to digitizing the footage. Over 900 VHS tapes in total - and it's all still very playable (been stored in a dry cedar-lined room). You never know what yer going to find on old video footage. I'm finding footage of parties that I apparently had a good time...but don't remember, lol. It was the 80s.
Thanks for the upload! I am pretty sure that "Track 5" is a remix of "Expo 2000" by Kraftwerk: at least it has the same harmonies, the same synth etc. (I couldn't find this version on YT, but it might be one done by a fan which could be hidden with 100 views here).
Correction: it might be a small loop used on the Kraftwerk website back in the day (there are some compilations of those on RU-vid but this exact section is not uploaded).
The Boc songs in the mix are covers. The rest is just really cool music by an unknown artist who "donated" the tape to the thrift store so that someone could buy it and upload the music to get publicity. (This has happened before, flash back to the guy who recorded never gonna give you up on a vhs and labled the tape "buy me". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vkbQmH5MPME.html ) I honestly don't have anything wrong with that, I just want to know who real the artist is!!
Interesting. Reminds me of a series of recordings i made on master tape during weekends at the attic of a dear friend doing synth / bass / drums sessions, in the late 1980s early 1990s.
@@DanFingermanOctopus Unfortunately all my master tapes, including the actual recordings of our band, were stored in the wrong fashion, since after i moved in 2003 i found out the magnetic layer on them had vanished ... So i don't have them anymore and of course never made duplicates ... Basically the attic sessions were a lot of noodling, but i'm sure there were a few gems in between ... Sorry about that.
That's fine. I am really enjoying people talking about their own lost recordings/tapes or what they think of listening to the video. Thanks for sharing :)
What an amazing thought that these tunes may have been created by some random dude in the 90's, now forgotten and stored on a tape cartridge destined to slowly rot away undiscovered. But instead, I'm digging it while I work in 2022!
Glad you like it. I am still highly sceptical of the origin of the tape. In that sense, I would've wished to have found it myself. I can tell you though that someone called the store clerk of the thrift store the tape was found at, and a shining VHS was stocked by the person on the phone.
I'll tell you what, whit this Mandela Effect stuff, it's ON THESE TYPES OF TAPES some trippy truth will be found. It's just a matter of somebody finding and noticing. I probably have 30 crates of vhs tapes in storage with who knows WHAT ALL on them. I do know I had a lot of MTV from the 80's though. I love scary movies so I've got tons of those. Jeeze... The answers will be found ON VHS TAPES.
1 is a really nice song, I can’t believe that never got released no matter who made it. I might use it for something. I listened to this at 2 am last night. I’m reporting from waking up at 6 am and I just wanna say I think the song 1 made me have a really wacky dream.
I saw a comment on this video (that was apparently deleted or just lost) that this tape was actually used as hotel TV channel background footage, and the reason it contained Boards of Canada music is that the people who produced these tapes had connections to amateur electronic music artists.The person who wrote the comment claimed to have a few hotel TV background tapes and he or she claimed this was one of them. I don't know how valid this is but it seems likely
was this a PAL or NTSC recording i wonder, if this was a genuine BOC mixtape then it would make sense that this wouldve been a PAL VHS. Had this tape been found in a charity shop in Scotland or England it wouldve been more convincing.
If it was found and played back in the US, then it's super likely it was an NTSC recording cause otherwise you'd need an imported PAL VHS deck or a rare multi-format capable deck, both unlikely to have unless the person who found it was a specialist or enthusiast who works a lot with these tapes on a pro level.
@@DanFingermanOctopus The only way to tell that I know of would be to try and rip the video or tracks from the original VHS. The tapes used to be encoded to prevent VHS copying/selling, but the digital version wouldn't keep any of that if it was already successfully ripped and uploaded to reddit.
Thanks for doing doing the world the service of archiving what would otherwise be lost forever. Doesn't matter who made these sounds, they made them, and now we can hear them, because of you.
revisiting this along with Dotcore today and I just want to say it's a peak oddity we have here. I'm using it for my intro music for streaming now that these fusion jazz radio archives are getting copyright claims and deletions.
