I as well was in grade 6, kicking ass at soccer-baseball. A friend of my brothers showed me sixtyten, roygbiv and aquarius in the beginning of summer time that year. He had already showed me Everything You Do is a Balloon and I loved them, but I didn't get their albums just yet, as I was a kid without money. And ya, I was into Weezer, Rage Against the Machine and Smashing Pumpkins. I hated Limp Bizket and most of the popular crap at the time.

Good memories.

I celebrated by playing a gig with my band last night. Of course I didn't realize it was the album's tenth anniversary at the time... but the spirit was still there

OH MAN! I just remembered I plugged the SHIT out of the album to a friend of our guitarist who happened to be into electronic music! What are the fucking odds...

Ten years ago I was 14. Just started getting into more electronic music as opposed to metal. Started with Depeche Mode and Nine Inch Nails. I also started making audio compositions of my own using found sounds and improv.

Hehe, well that count for me too.

Isn't it great that a messageboard like this totally eliminates age differences? We judge people on what they say/think instead of how they look or how they behave. Something I still find very hard to not do in my everyday life. I'm getting better at putting aside my prejudices but it's still hard as it's almost a second nature.

no kidding. I was 23, working at my first shit job after college and discovering this strange new group called Boards of Canada.

I was 11. I'd rather not think about what it was like back then. Everything was awkward and embarrasing.

I was seven, all I listened to was the 80s new wave radio station. God rest their soul, they are now a shitty 'soft rock' station.

Yay for the 10th anniversary! The legacy from this album lives on ...esp. on my itunes player every couple of days or so

Hmmm... I think I was a Korn fan when they released this lol

I was 11 about to turn 12, playing Pokemon in 5th grade and wearing khaki cargo pants with button down plaid shirts, braces, and a huuuuge G-shock watch.

10 years ago I was nearly 13 and unfortunately had no idea who Boards of Canada were. I was listening to Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers, early Crystal Method.. I remember loving Vegas. I luckily grew up with an older brother who had good taste in music.

Back then I was very strange and awkward and would cry at the drop of a pin.

I was such a wuss. >_>
