STREAM: Boards Of Canada - Untitled (Machinedrum Edit)
Fandom inevitably precedes stardom, and there’s a certain sweetness in the sincerity of seeing artists pay homage to the music that’s moved them. Machinedrum, aka Brooklyn’s Travis Stewart, endeavored to restore and reproduce a bootleg recording of a rare performance from Boards Of Canada at the Warp 10 birthday party in 1999. In his edit, Stewart preserves the dark romanticism of the original's hypnotic vocoder drones and pulsating drums in a gesture that emphasizes BoC’s obvious influence on his nascent sound a decade ago.
