Had a listen on the band camp page, and it's the playback speed that makes the difference. The older vinyl rips I've heard are recorded faster (and about 2/3 semitone higher in pitch).

Not only that, the actual digital release (ie - the non-vinyl version available on the Skam website store in the ...

Nice to see some Claude Denjean tracks on this playlist. My parents had his "Moog!" album on vinyl and I played it constantly as a kid during the early to mid 80s. I'm convinced it single-handedly prepped my brain for weird electronic music and set my musical taste in stone for the rest of my life.

"the Scottish duo has just released their debut album Music Has The Right To Children on Warp Records. The first of five on the Sheffield label"

so, assuming the author here has their facts straight, and also assuming that EPs don't ...

the Banff family line drawing design is great and probably the first tshirt of theirs I actually want to wear.

a nice tribute from Neil Krug:

Both the Pitchfork and A/V Club articles are great, though I found it a little unfortunate that both felt the need to use the word "dated" when mentioning the 90s. This has, to me, always been one of the most short-sighted criticisms of any cultural product that is too old to be considered current ...

I actually quite enjoy the foreign language interviews, so thanks Valotonin for your work on those. The translation process often renders things more curious & profound than probably was originally intended. Like this passage from "The Last Unexplored Area of Boards of Canada"

When you are a child ...

The earlier interviews are inevitably going to be the most interesting and revealing. Reading all their interviews, chronologically, all at once (which you can do very easily here: http://bocpages.org/wiki/Interviews-all - I read them all in a single afternoon recently when I was home sick ...

"It's the longest track and fastest track that we've done in probably the last two years" is the exact quote.

of course!

chronical wrote:breadmaker if you mean the skam bandcamp that was a total rip off, someone uploaded a bunch of vinyl rips as "digitals" and got caught a few days in.

no, I do not mean that. I'm talking about the official Skam store from the mid-2000s, before bandcamp existed.

Neither of the files in that Mega link are the digital version that the Skam store was selling. They are both sourced from vinyl. The digital version I bought doesn't have any vinyl pops / surface noise.

an extremely under-rated remix. this to me is a perfect template for a specific kind of BOC sound from that era. I love the way the mood shifts midway through and becomes more dark and chilly before phasing into that sublime arpeggiated ending. Despite not being as "well-produced" as the more recent ...

Also, does this mean that digital versions of Red Moss, Carcan, and Whitewater are realistic possibilities in this universe?

An older version of the official BOC website did list a cd version of Maxima (opothecary already posted this link https://web.archive.org/web/20010619011708fw ...

Still doesn't explain 2001 Poppy Seed and this being "released" in 1999.

The original Poppy Seed track was released in 1998 though. It could have been remixed that year and then not given a public release until 2001.

According to Discogs, Poppy Seed was released in 2001. https://www&#46 ...
