BOARDS OF CANADA: TWOISM RE-RELEASED ON 25TH NOVEMBER
The twenty fifth of November 2002 sees Warp release Boards of Canada?s
seminal ?Twoism?. Remastered and recut, this nine track mini album will
be available on CD for the first time, seven years after it?s original,
semi-mythical pressing on Boards of Canada?s own label Music70. Their
esoteric release, limited to an exclusive hundred copies on vinyl, made
it a most sought after contemporary item, copies being known to change
hands for 800 pounds on-line.
Marcus Eoin and Mike Sandison, the elusive duo that operate as Boards of
Canada from their remote studio (Turquoise Hexagon Sun) in Scotland,
have sanctioned a re-release to reach their exasperated audience, on
condition it was lo-key, in line with their belief ?"we?d rather that
people find our music by themselves, so that it?s something that feels
like it belongs to them".
A subtle precursor to the ground-breaking ?Music Has the Right to
Children?, ?Twoism? gently maps BOC?s twilight territory, exploring the
themes that would later become unquestionably their own: bittersweet
evocations of childhood, haunted pastoral spaces, contriving a detached
perspective, or drift, through their grainy organic electronics.
Demonstrating their range of styles, an evolution can be seen, from the
formalist tumble of ?Basefree?, the wistful ?Melissa Juice? and the
skewed pop of ?Iced Cooly?, through to ?Seeya Later?s analogue groove
and the brooding ?Smokes Quantity? (both of which appeared on subsequent
releases.)
Twoism has a simple muted elegance, like watching the past ebb away in
the rear view mirror.
Boards of Canada ?Twoism? is available as 12" vinyl (WARPLP70) and a CD
(WARPCD70) ?
