Someone said it was contentious and this isn't my first day having read the things he's expressed here. I thought the person who considered his post that was completely in line with the thread contentious must have missed some of his more... opinionated posts in other threads, as that was nothing ...

Memories are fickle things which tend to warp and meld with stimuli which isn't necessarily from the individuals own experience, which is why I think the appeal and artistic vision of BoC won't be lost on future generations.
Agreed. It's like a planted memory, or a very strong idea of a memory ...

Thanks for your donation lewwat!

Got an email a few days ago with a jaw dropping donation of $100.-!!!!
Jesus, I bloody shat myself when I read that. I was thinking I couldn't possibly have donated that much by mistake! Then I read the next part..

I think as we older guys get older, the younger fans that hear early BoC don't really feel/understand that nostalgic 70s/80s/Early 90s sound. We grew up with that. So when you hear a certain sound, it puts you back in time. You remember being a kid, watching those old TV Shows, hearing those old ...

Trans Canada Highway is forgettable. Apart from Left Side Drive, i couldn't care less about it. I also dont see why they put Dayvan Cowboy there, did we really need another copy?
Nlogax sucks.
Completely agree. Of BoC's more popular songs like Roygbiv, Everything You Do Is a Balloon and Reach for ...

I guess what I'm ultimately trying to say is that I've heard people talk about something along the lines of "oh I wish they went back to making happy stuff again" and have to ask: what the fuck are you talking about?
Completely agree with this, any happiness which comes through in BoC is in the ...

This thread makes me sad and frustrated.
Slow down there, the petition was a joke. Most of this thread is lighthearted in fact.

Anyone entering into the LE ballot? I feel £250 is very steep but I guess for a release from such a huge artist after 13 years does necessitate filtering out those not willing to put down the money. £150 I'd probably do but it's just too much as is for me.

i actually entered

Good luck to you. I ...

Re: Boards of Canada dilemma's

What's your very boring job?

1. I'd sacrifice being able to hear pre-Twoism releases, it's a small sacrifice for all the material they've got out now and for whatever they go on to release.

2. I think that they will play live again and I'm gonna try to be there anyway so I'd have to have lunch ...

Thank you, I did see it listed on bocpages but I was after the original broadcast. However it seems that it's no longer in circulation so this will suffice. XYZ is so much clearer on this version.

Does anyone have the original Peel Session CD (with XYZ)? I'd like to know how much you would want for it

Apparently only five handmade copies were ever distributed. That makes it the rarest BoC release ever so I wouldn't bet on being able to find it, that said it is listed on Discogs with five ...

That answered some of my questions but I still don't know if the broadcasts are still floating around or not.

I have XYZ (my copy is 8:04 and features John Peel introducing the track) without the preceding three tracks, which I can only assume comes from the 16th. I'd like the complete broadcast ...

Peel Session CDs and broadcasts..

So I did a little searching around for information on the Peel Sessions that Boards of Canada did in 1998 and am a little confused as to what material actually exists and what is available.

My understanding right now is that there are three CD releases; Peel Session June 1998 , Peel Session and ...

When I first listened to this album it felt like the black sheep of BoC's discography (along with Trans-Canada Highway to a lesser extent). The soundtrack-like, modernised sound along with an 8 year gap made the album feel alien - like Boards of Canada in an alternative universe. After three or four ...
