Are you younger than 20 years and 7 months?

[niknak]

If so, before today you would have seen one Boards of Canada album released in your lifetime.

[IronMark]

I'm old enough that all BoC releases have been within my lifetime but sadly I didn't discover them until 2012 so I've only been around for 2 new album cycles. I really wish I'd discovered them sooner.

Me too, although I discovered them just as TCH dropped. Old crew represent!

Sh!t. I own clothes that are older than every BoC release. First heard them in the early naughties but didn't delve into them till about 2008. Health issues rendered me housebound for a while and ambient music was a large part of my therapy (always has been my zen zone). TH was the first release I anticipated & it is still probably my favourite album overall. Controversial I know.

Very much not

I was a fan since I was 14... which was in back in 2015.

That's awesome, I love that BoC helped you through that tough time in your life!

I love TH a lot as well. I had previously heard and downloaded TCH back around 2009, but to be honest it didn't really stick with me that much and I sort of forgot about them, lol.

Then, a few months after the Tomorrow's Harvest release I did a deep dive into all of the YouTube content, including the Lake Dolores listening party.

That was it - I fell in love after that and bought all of their albums after 2013.

Everyone is so young! I discovered them thanks to this CD that came mounted on the cover of the NME in 1999:

I was only a month old when MHtRtC came out. Wild that I only really only started listening to them in high school.

Going off of the album release dates:
MHtRtC - 1 month
Geogaddi - 3 years
Campfire - 7 years
Tomorrow's - 15 years
Inferno - 28 years

[GeoDose]

At the Sonic Boom listening party last night (in Toronto, Canada) most of the audience was under 30 years in age! I saw lots and lots of Gen Z.

Makes me feel more optimistic about the next generation of music nerds.

Ha, i actually have this because i was a massive Mercury Rev fan, eve to the extent of collecting releases they just *appeared* on. I forgot BoC were on it too.

[niknak]

Shortly after MHTRTC for me. Must've heard them on Peel before that. 28 years ago. Jeez

[turquoise70]

I'm an 86er myself! So theoretically all of it.

[DW]

87. Got into BOC around the TCH release.

But which kinda TCHer are ya

[Samplehunter]

I am as old as Play by Numbers and Hooper Bay are supposed to be, so no.

[Widmerpool]

Ten years older. I know younger BoC fans but not the kind to post on an internet forum. Time's a-changing, great music remains.

[angelos_boc]

I was 3 when Catalog 3 was released, 12 when Boc Maxima was released, and 14 when Music has the Right to Children was released.
