I've always been a massive fan of Boards of Canada, if its not obvious already!  10-11 years ago I stumbled upon a bootleg recording of one of their extremely rare live performances at the Warp 10 Birthday party in 1999.  The closing tune at this show has always remained a mystery to me.  As far as I know it has no title and has never been released.  It's quite possibly one of my favorite things they have done and really is a shame it never came out.  You can hear the original bootleg recording (quite bad quality) here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYEZueAelKc

Fast forward to Summer 2012...  Since I am a huge nerd I decided to take this bootleg recording and re-produce it for fun.  Using the recording I laid new drums over the existing drum patterns (almost 100% accurate to original), replayed some synth parts and the bassline.  The only thing I didn't try to re-create was the original vocoder parts and some random samples so I used the bootleg recording for that.  I was tempted to make a shorter 4-5 minute version but I figured I should preserve the piece in its intended length (although the length was most likely due to it being a live jam).

Downloads limited to 100 (sorry I still haven't upgraded my account).  I do not claim rights to the original nor do I intend to ever sell this.  Not sure if I'm violating anything or not with Soundcloud so grab it quick!

Update : Ha! Somehow the 100 download limit thing got bypassed, so download freely!
Updated Update : This should work! http://soundcloud.com/selftitledmag/boards-of-canada-untitled/download

BoC - Untitled (Machinedrum Edit)

Around 2002 Boards of Canada created a microsite with some interactive motion graphics which were accompanied by short loops.  I made this (unofficial) remix back then with some of the samples from the site. 

Boards of Canada - Sevenfortyseven (Helios Remix)

Boards of Canada - Kaini Industries (Karmedic Remix)

An extended re-edit of Boards of Canada's 'Reach For The Dead' - because it's so incredible and way too short. Hope you like, might only be up for a short time.

Please go and pre-order the album 'Tomorrow's Harvest' if you enjoy this http://www.boardsofcanada.com/

BOC RFTD DJFOOD 10min Extension

An unofficial expansion of Boards Of Canada's "Left Side Drive" from their 2006 EP "Trans Canada Highway" by an anonymous fan who wanted the song to continue. No outside audio material or effects applied - just edits, volume adjustments and overdubs. Remix / Extension begins around the five minute mark. Absolutely no affiliation with Boards Of Canada - and no claims of ownership or authorship - are implied or intended.
