Well, you can rest assured that the limited edition version is sort of
their "made for fans and friends" version, and since only a few people will
end up with that one, it's sort of like our own little family.
I agree on the over exposure thing, and although I wish Boards of Canada
the best, I would also like for people to appreciate music for more pure
reasons, rather than "it's cool." Of course, a lot of people get into more
obscure music because it's cool, and then pursue more of it because of
personal reasons, so it's not all bad. I agree that it sort of irks me
when people list things like "boards of canada" with "land of the loops,"
since they're most likely missing much of the subtlety of Boards of Canada,
but oh well. The more money they make, the more music they can create, and
they certainly haven't compromised their artistry yet.
