one very important thought
  • It would be wise to remember that the same people who would stop you from listening to Boards of Canada may be back next year to complain about a book or even a tv program. If you can be told what you can see or read then it follows that you can be told what to say or think. Defend your constitutionally protected rights, no one else will do it for you. sopastrike.com

Elements of these films have been incorporated in Boards of Canada's visuals.

Each film ended with a short animated logo sequence. The music for this ident is an eerie synthesized tune, not unlike some of band's early work.
