Anyone able to identify any of these hiphop / triphop / ambient tunes? There's nothing in the credits

@ 27:29
@ 36:43 <- sounds like aphex twin?
@ 44:50

How bizarre, I've just watched this on iPlayer and wondered what the ambient tune was.

It sounds very like "The Boards of Canada" but I'm not sure if it is.

Yeah want to hunt that one down (second one, as above)

Sounds very aphex twin, maybe it's brian eno, boards of canada... someone's bound to recognise it.

Number two is definitely Boards of Canada but I can't place it

Spyhop · 1 Dec 2008 at 23:49

Number one is "Boards of Canada - Everything You Do Is A Balloon" starting @ ~1:30

All 3 are definitely Boards tracks, funny you should ask this I was determined to remind myself which ones they are after watching the docu! Can't work it out though

Thanks - I'll have a dig through youtube and the usual.

Strange though because a few years ago, someone recommended I try Boards of Canada - I went out and bought 'Music Has the Right to Children' but I didn't enjoy it at the time. Time to find that CD and give it another listen!

Sounds more like Boards of Canada than Aphex to me

Don't remember the song title tho... :/

Number two is 'Olson', on their Peel Session - all of their stuff is available DRM free 320kbs on bleep.com

Fantastic show, really well made and explored some great issues. A real-life version of The Wire.

Not sure what the third one is, certain it isn't BoC though.

Thought this programme was excellent, will have to check out Boards of Canada some more.

Does anyone know the hip hop track at around 19:57?

Couldn't agree more - last night's episode on Johannesburg was equally as good, particularly when he walked into an 'overrun' block with his paranoid security posse to interview some pretty destitute but nonplussed homeless people.

Thanks to those who replied re: music

Afraid not - but it starts out with the BoC tune as mentioned by retribution - Peel Sessions Olson v3. I'm guessing the hip hop that blends in is a local philly tune.

Good show, definitely boards though, sounds nothing like aphex.
