I think this is where we might see a divide in fans between those who just generally like the music and the genuine die hard fans who not only enjoy the music but enjoy the cult mystique of the hexagon benzene ring sun

Knowing a computer came up with a cool track effortlessly and instantly isn't ...

Who cares? If you enjoy the output, why do you care how it came to be?

This seems parallel to the concerns that people used to levy against electronic music that was generated by instruments that were "not real."

I'm not sure if you're familiar with Topdown Dialectic, but if you are, do you think ...

Slow this bird down.

I don't think it's terribly hard to come by. I picked up a copy around 2005 or 2006 because of the different packaging. Here's a link to the sales data at discogs:

Some guy on discogs is selling a copy of the original Twoism LP that includes the hexagon. http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?release_id=15288&ev=rb

I saw that, too. Unreal.

I tried to snipe it at the last minute for $120, but it was bid way past that by then. I wonder if people put crazy high bids into some snipe app thinking that it'd definitely win it for them, and they got screwed when someone else did the same.

It's probably just a false memory. I've had almost exactly the same thing happen to me several times. When I was ...

Trying to buy copies of the old releases would somehow feel wrong


This.

Especially for a large sum of money, which meant that the person who got rid of it did it not because they felt the fans should hear it or something like that, but merely because their material desire outweighs their value ...

Well it does have a spraying or release of steam sound in it. I have always maintained that the only real reason the band does not want to acknowledge the old releases is because of how much they most likely plagiarized their own old work on new releases. I have also maintained that if I ever win ...

"Pitchfork hate", "official statement", think whatever you guys want to think. It's apparent that everybody seems to want to pick sides anyways.

It's really simple. Let's say you heard an "official statement" from the government that went directly to Fox News (or dailymail for UK users), didn't ...

I hapened to stumble upon Piero Scaruffi's review of Boards of Canada at m for the first time in a long time tonight. I guess I never noticed it before, but the first couple paragraphs of the review mention the pre-Twoism releases. What he writes makes it sound like he's actually heard them, as he ...
