As you can hear the only difference between this and "Sir Prancelot Brainfire" is an additional synth line and the monologue from "sixty niner"


fantastic, love to find old boc sources. thanks!

Thanks for the info Sasquatch, but I was wondering if you knew if this came out on vinyl back in the 70's or 80's? By the sounds of the sample used by BOC, it's from a fairly crackly record, anybody have any idea what LP/single this version is originally from? I'm big into my film/TV soundtracks, and I have the 1970's BBC record of 'The Adventures Of Sir Prancelot', but the version on the BBC record is the one from the original series(I think) with less bass and more of a sitar sound than guitar. Would love to get my hands on the original vinyl version of The Piccadilly Players version.

do you agree?
what is one of boc's songs which inspires a sense happiness in you (not just because you are enjoying or relating to the music. i mean an unnatural happiness, one without dismal undertones)?


wicked bassline

Finding out this melody was from a sample really bummed me out, the same way as the main Aquarius melody did. It has knocked their musical genius down a notch in a way. Could you imagine the pure awesomeness if they had created these 70s style jingles themselves? Drums, bass, guitar and all? Composer/musician Adrian Younge, who did the black dynamite soundtrack, comes to mind here. Man, now that would be quite the collaboration.

Curiosity:

A youtube user called Oskachu uploaded a video of Boards of Canada's Sir Prancelot Brainfire song to youtube

If you check minute 02:50 you can find the password we had to use in Boards of Canada's cosechatransmisiones misterious website, also, during the video this user leaves clues, like subliminal messages (min. 0:07, for instance).

This video was uploaded on the 4th of May, a few days after the password was discovered, so there is no new or relevant information provided in his video, but it is still cool that this user edited the video and even wrote the names of the brothers in the closing credits of the TV show.
