Boards of Canada - 84 Pontiac Dream
This is one of my favourite songs off the Campfire Headphase record, and I saw all these patched-together BoC fan videos, so I figgered I’d make my own! Got the footage from archive.org and edited it up with Vegas.

0:27 would never happen in a million years
holyshit… this song lifts me up high above everything. its all so clear.
also, nostalgia!
mate you exist otherwise i dont exist
There are many ways to get really warm sounds, like BoC does. They choose to use analog synths and play around with the actual wiring. An easier way is to use a non-destructive DAW and effect a sampled organ and then re-amp it through a tube amp or re-wire through a tube emulator. Then just add some effects to the sound, maybe some reverb, flange, delay etc… Then you add a little white or pink noise to dirty the sound up. Those are just some easy tricks to make sounds sound better.
this song makes me want to exist so bad. Damm, I wish I could exist.
Very good comment, sir.
This video is beautiul, and the same time, sad and meaningful. One of the best BoC clips I’ve ever seen. Successful juxtaposition of music and videos. Really.
way better than royksopp!! cheers
does anyone else in here with fl or some other program know where i can get samples of that organ sound they allways have? or create it some how? i want that sound!
Their stuff reminds me of royksopp a little.
Hm, well put, but could it also be that BoC also wishes to show that time is cyclical and that nostalgia serves a purpose? Their music itself can prove this, being made of bits of history, rearranged into something new.
Maybe I’m just talking out the side of my neck, but its a thought. To clarify, not arguing, just tossing in my two cents.
+rating for you sir
BOC is not for everyone but I really enjoy whatever they put out….it takes me to another place
This song/track mesmerizes me….
Those images of modern life from another era juxtaposed with this BoC track evoke a feeling of sadness and serve as a haunting reminder of how time itself renders everything obsolete. The 2000s are almost over and it went by so much quicker than the 90s….
I dont know why but every time I hear this song I immediately think of Mass Effect….. weird
Boards Of Canada are my all time favorite band
you should check out… all of their music. I don’t think any other band has come close to having the kind of effect on me that BoC does.
WOW! I have no idea who this band is but the music is so hypnotizing and relaxing…it opens your mind to the endless boundaries of your own imagination….extraordinary music
the guitar at the end… gets me every time
man….this song…wow. That weezying noise at the end has ALWAYS reminded me of a dog i used to have. it sounds just like him when he was wimpering for attention. BOC is seriously…they’re so amazing. I love ALL there music. A new album would be nice….but if it was over now, i’d still be thankful for the GREAT music!!!!!
paradise !
i love it when nostalgia is brought infront of my eye other than being in a 30 second dream or a feeling..
Amazing and sensitive..
Nice job! You really captured the essence of the song IMO
My favorite Boards of Canada song.Simply amazing.
