Boards of Canada - Dayvan Cowboy (Warp, 2005)

In April 2006, a music video for the song “Dayvan Cowboy” (Boards of Canada) was released on the Warp Records website. The video consists of footage from Joe Kittinger’s famous parachute jump from 19.5 miles (31.4 km) altitude, and later slow-motion footage of big-wave surfer Laird Hamilton. The final scene of the music video showing a sunset or sunrise is from the film Crystal Voyager. (+)
