I always wanted to make a stereotypical Boards video with old footage. Didn't come out as great as it was going in the beginning, think I added too much and it got all muddy, but I wanna work on something else so I'll post it.

Someone ostensibly found a HQ rip (320 CBR) of A Few Old Tunes on Soulseek. Download here.

My god what were they on when BoC made this track? It’s transcendental, I have a hard time believing this came of of the 90s. Ahead of its time. And the live version is almost better! This is the track that opened my mind and allowed me to “get” Boards of Canada. I love it so, so much. Drinking my morning coffee, reading The Economist, and giving MHTRTC a spin. Felt like this track deserves its own thread (couldn’t find one in search, anyways!) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, y’all. Cheers!

Anyone remember this that floated up among the fakes just before TH arrived? I used to know the artist responsible for this. I'm pretty sure he was Italian. He also wrote another track called 'Snowy Night' or something. I tried Shazam and other usual suspects.

"the devil is in the details "Just relax, and enjoy this pleasant adventure. Here you are, secure and protected, in this, your special place, letting my voice flow into your mind. There's no need to concentrate. Just gently as you go. Suggestions are going into your unconscious mind. Open yourself up to the greater wisdom and understanding. So, now, letting the sound of my voice reach the inner, healthy, receptive centre of yourself. See yourself now in your imagination; and you are being tranformed in a positive healthy way, so you are programming your unconscious mind, gaining new insight into your directions, in the future. Allow yourself to be more aware of your pat…

Yes I’m aware similar threads have been started and exist. I felt like starting a new one since it’s been a while and times are tough lately so lay off! Jk What’s your current favorite all time BoC track? It’s allowed to change from time to time hence the new thread. In the past I’ve always had a hard time not saying 5-9-78. Honestly, and I know the album it’s on is divisive, I think Tears From The Compound Eye might be the most beautiful piece they've ever done and right now it’s the track I need. It’s psychedelic, comforting, serene, and nostalgic all at the same time. The times feel literally like Tomorrows Harvest but I could honestly use another TCH-es…

Please excuse my naiveté, the question is genuine: At what point did BoC transform from being simply one of the Warp Big Three to obsessed over love child of the great unwashed? A brief history, from my perspective: BoC release MHTRTC in 1998 and I hear the band for the first time. Great stuff, I approve and buy anything from them that I can. (stuff) BoC release TCH. I personally think it their best work to date but most of the rest of the BoC knowledgeable world seems to disagree. 2010-2012ish, my brother mentions a friend of his listens to BoC, (first indication I have BoC have crossed into the wider consciousness of the world) …

Remember when Mike was going to sell off one of the old boc tapes and some peeps got all flustered about it, and Mike ended up posting a video of him smashing it with a hammer. I loved that.

Back in 2000 Worm Interface (Ambient Soho’s label) released a compilation - Electric Chicken Volume One. There’s a track on that comp by an artist called Hexagon Sun. Is that just a coincidence or is there a connection? https://www.discogs.com/Various-Electric-Chicken-Volume-One/release/1395 Man I miss record shopping at Ambient Soho, happy days.

Probably some kind of retrospective on TH in light of the current climate but bit weird for them to be mentioned on the front cover just for that...

Turns 25 sometime this year, doesn't it? For whatever reason, I decided to give it another listen on my evening walk today, and I had a real moment. Like porno dude in Sixtyniner. When the name Twoism comes up here it's more often in reference to the eponymous forum than to the EP itself (or mini-album, or whatever it is). Could it be that this one is a little underrated? It's an incredible record and I'll love it forever. That is all.
