release date - january 5th
neither of these tracks will appear on their forthcoming album which is a
joint project between skam & warp records.
boards of canada originate from the north east coast of scotland, where they
begun recording on a home hi-fi set up around 1983. various xtra band
members have come & gone since 1986, but the main duo of mike & marcus have
always stuck to the original home made sound. their first vinyl release was
_twoism_ an eight track LP limited to 100 copies which they produced &
financed themselves in 1995. h aving supported Ae, panasonic & cylob in july
of 1996, they released the _high scores_ e.p. through skam records.
1997 saw their second support slot with Ae and a headline @ versivo [the
skam club] in manchester. their live show soon became a talking point,
highlighted by their continued use of video footage
derived from 8mm film. after a string of remix work, the summer of 1997 saw
them play alongside Ae @ the phoenix festival & mike paradinas @ the
sunflower festival in munich. this was their followed by an autumn mini tour
and dates in ireland, germany & switzerland, and the band also played live @
the opening night of warp's blech night in london. along with their
forthcoming album due out through skam/warp, the band will also start work
on an album for mike paradinas' new label, planet mu.
