â | The official | + | The official BoC discography doesnât begin with the âHi Scoresâ ep on Skam, but much earlier. The Music70 reference list includes an album before even âMusic Has the Right to Childrenâ - âBoC Maximaâ (96), limited to fifty copies on CD and even fewer on tape, the biggest part of the material was rerecorded and recycled subsequently for the debut on Warp - and a series of eps, of which no one had any notice and whose authenticity - the leaks on the web have always been incomplete, many tracks extracted and stolen from the curtains(?) of the duoâs official web - one could never fully guarantee. Has something titled âCloses Volume 1â ever existed? âThey exist,â assures Sandison. âIn their first incarnation they were cassette tapes, and we re-released some on CD, but the runs were very limited and they only circulated among friends. We make sure to give them to the right people, in whose hands they could be safe; we never gave anything to anyone we didnât know very well. If one of those records has leaked on the internet itâs because we placed too much confidence in someone or because maybe we distributed more cassettes than necessary, there are twenty or thirty copies of some records, but there might be up to a hundred of others.â âIn all these years,â continues Eoin, âonly âBoC Maximaâ and the compilation âOld Tunesâ have circulated widely on the internet. But it wouldnât surprise me if next year âAcid Memoriesâ starts to show up there. Anyway, that tapes of ours remain unreleased is a miracle; when we made them we never imagined that something called MP3 could be invented.â Now, a consolation for the fans: apart from an ep for 2006, Boards of Canadaâs most ambitious plan is to release a box with an ample selection of material from between 1987 and 1995. âMaybe weâll do it with Warp.â Please. |
