I've been doing some (admittedly not very deep) digging and I can't find the Heard From Telegraph Lines video anywhere else, though I saw Ian Sklarsky, a notable artist who's credited with the footage, posted a video of Slow This Bird Down on his YouTube awhile back.

Is it original?

I wondered the same. If it's original, then presumably they/Warp liked the Slow My Bird Down vid and asked him to do something similar. So why release it now, 12 years after he did the other vid?

It's on his Vimeo page, if you scroll down a bit. Just like the Faastwalker video - it was on his Vimeo.

Just like the Faastwalker video was around for years. Seems like they're just posting old stuff that people may have not seen before.

Maybe re-calling the old stuff (posting the old through the telegraph lines video, uploading the same pfp to the HI facebook that was used for the sheol boundary youtube channel to call back attention to that "uuh" video) is a hint to look back through the clues we've already gotten ;)

I wonder if they asked “permission” first before posting these videos. Most likely not.

Crickey, woke up to an extra 5 pages to sift through, haha!

My wife understands the crazy about all of this, teases me well enough, but when "the action" happens, she was right there with me watching TonX in the desert for the TH listening party and had her own listening station set up for Societas!

So we've had the official BoC FB page post a video, is that the big activity for the day? I did a quick check of the websites, still black pages and HI FB page doesn't look any different...

It appears the maker of that video was the one who slowed it down.

Yes, and the fact that Fredd-E said "heard from telegraph lines" in this thread about a day before the video was posted, which shows that they're watching us. (probably)

I was hoping I was following that correct - that makes me giggle, a lot. This whole thing has brightened my week.

I don't care if they (or Warp) gave an intern the keys to the kingdom to do some cleaning up of their socials, it's been fun

Actually, my guess is yes they did. If you watch the original video on Ian Sklarsky's vimeo, there is a blast of noise or feedback at the very beginning of the video that doesn't exist in the copy on the BoC page. So the video's been edited somewhat. Also, the original video doesn't reference the music at all - so the video's basically been renamed on the BoC page from "Shot from the Air: selections of flight footage" to "Boards of Canada - Heard From Telegraph Lines - From the Trans Canada Highway EP on Warp Records (2006)."

They obviously credit Ian, which he did not do for Boards on the original, but I think it's professional courtesy to say "hey, we love your video, do you mind if we post it to our page?"

Another busy day in BoC land. Yay!

Yeah, I made an attempt to explain the recent goings on to my wife, too. At least our cult has a great taste in music!
