Public availability of original copies of this work were largely thanks to the efforts of early BoC webmaster [[The Cosmic Crofter]], who received permission to distribute back copies to interested fans through the [[EHX]] website and the [[IDM mailing list]].

+ | Effectively representing the earliest known official output from the duo (and almost totally unavailable until its repressing in 2002), the original Twoism release has been highly sought after and has been known to sell for over $1,000 in online auctions. When asked by HMV about the obscenely high prices the record was going for, Marcus Sandison replied wryly that "[s]ome people have clearly got too much money on their hands" ([http://fredd-e.narfum.org/boc/interviews/#hmv HMV Interview, 2002]). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Some of the allure surrounding the release (and perhaps contributing to its high selling price) stems from the inclusion of a credit to an early third member of Boards of Canada, [[Christopher Horne]] (credited as Chris H.) on the original release. This credit was removed from the artwork of the subsequent 2002 reissue on [http://www.warprecords.com Warp Records]. | ||
β | + | Stylistically, the album foreshadows what was to come on subsequent [[Wikipedia:Boards of Canada|Boards of Canada]] releases, with two of the tracks ("Seeya Later" and "Smokes Quantity") being re-released on later records. One artistic deviation of note, however, is found in the track "Basefree," representing one of Boards of Canada's few forays into industrial territory. | |
