well the stuff before 1989 was a "band", and i'm pretty sure sounded nothing at all like the boards of canada we "know and love."

i think it could be argued that maxima was sent around to 'real people', instead of just their friends, and is likely what got them signed on the skam label for "hi scores"

i agree, although i doubt they're going to do that. from the sound of it, mike and marcus are very particular about the music they actually release, which is why the back catalog seems so huge yet the available albums and ep's are so sparse. they have a 5-album (not ep, album) contract to warp, so we're going to hear more from them. i just hope some of it is the really good old stuff, too. cheers, /derek --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
