Day 7: a song that reminds me of a certain event—Trapped
30 days of music, but only Boards of Canada, day 7. A song that remind me of a certain event. Tough one. Songs definitely remind me of times and places, but not so much events. Not for music I choose to listen to, anyway.
Ah yes! Trapped.
This is a remix of the brilliant Colonel Abrams song of the same name, released under BoC's lesser-known Hell Interface monicker. (Which was bound to come up at some point: too good.)
Trapped is a brilliant remix of a brilliant song, lending a very different, sinister vibe. It's suggestive of a road-not-travelled where BoC choose to work more with vocalists. They have done that via the medium of remixes from time to time. but an album of actual songs paired with BoC's signature melodies would be a very special thing.
I DJ'd at a few friends' weddings and parties in my youth, but it was the one time I DJ'd at a London club (Ginglik, now closed) that I played some Hell Interface. I actually played The Midas Touch, not Trapped that evening, but anything Hell Interface makes me recall that time, and I've come to love Trapped a little more. Fun evening!
