I first read that as Warp signed Boards of the basis of EYD... being your favourite track off Hi Scores.
i am an idiot.
What was the job at Warp?
yeah I just popped my head round the door and said "I like this track, you should sign them on my recomendation". The job was as a talent scout. They said that if I'd had a driving licence I'd have got it too, but then a few weeks later I was chatting to someone who's mate worked for them for a bit and apparently they're shits to work for (or were at least) so it was probz for the best.
everything you do is a balloon is most definitely one of my favourite boards of canada tracks, i always find it odd that they chose to release it on hi scores, this being my least favourite release of theirs...anyhow, i think this, kid for today and amo bishop roden are my most personal songs of boards of canada...quite simply beautiful.

And it's a good film too.
To my opinion that fragment of EYDIAB in Morvern Callar marks a turning point in the protagonist's life. It's as if the whole movie spins around the few seconds that EYDIAB (suicide song) is being played on her walkman.
I recommend watching the movie for those who haven't seen it yet and the above mentioned sounds a bit enigmatic.

Welkom Jelle!
I watched this movie a couple of years ago and have to admit that I don't know much about the story anymore, all I know is the killer soundtrack and the pretty harsh/dark atmosphere it has. The movie was hard to get when it was released so I remember watching a crappy copy on my PC. So it's time to watch it again on a decent home theatre system!
