First of all, I have to say that I have never taken this for granted, I wasn't able to contribute but I was able to listen on repeat almost religiously.

Coming back to this forum is amazing and I hope Twoism Records continue.

Do let me know where I can listen to the early mixes, 1 and 2.

Bandcamp!

Oh my word my brain has heard some amazing things since returning to this place. That opening intro on Volume 1 has just taken me right back to my happy place. I love you all dearly.

Being a part of these was such a joy. And such an amazing moment for me as a virtually unknown artist, to be alongside so much talent. These are still the only places you can listen to the Boreal Network tracks I contributed!

Really was a fantastic time being apart of getting these up and running. Was only ever able to contribute to the first two volumes. I am so happy to see they carried on. The past month leading up to the new BoC release and visiting this forum has been such a joy. So many good memories attached to this message board. I am ashamed that I was away for so long. I think I will stick around this time.

One of my happiest memories was on the last one (still the best imo), in the run up to release, a box of the CDs arrived to test. So exciting seeing the artwork etc for real.

Ae still has the white label vinyl I believe, even though we never went ahead with it in the end.

I also have wonderful memories of putting together and mixing the compilations. With most of the volumes, I paid less attention to the quality during the process. Partly because you listen to the music over and over again, and it only really comes together as a whole in the end. It was only years later that I was able to hear it more as ‘One on Twoism’. Don't have a real favorite tbh, all have their own unique atmosphere. Production wise version 6 sounds more advanced though.

Lovely to read all the memories!

Looks great, sounds absolutely awful!!!!
It was printed as a test on laquer to produce a limited edition, but at the time there were few options for very small runs. These days there are more options available, with much bette r mastering.

As I recall we worked out the unit cost and everyone would have been stumping up almost £50 a go, back long before £40 was normal for vinyl. And yeah, I recall you were less than enamoured with the audio. Shame really. Like you say, these days it would likely be achievable. Could we go back...? #justsayin

I'd buy em on wax for sure.

We can give it a go, but a limited-edition double vinyl will still cost at least €60.

Urgh. I forgot it's a double..

this reminds me! I've got the first 5 volumes on CD.. going to have to go back and listen after giving Infero its first few runs!

Another Bad Dream is one of my Boreal favorites! Deliciously crunchy and woozy!
