<br />
<br>A good knowledge of North American TV shows of the late seventies helps in an understanding of the ideas and sounds of [[Boards of Canada]]. As children, Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin taught themselves to play various musical instruments whilst soaking up the American cathode-tube culture of the likes of [[wikipedia:The Six Million Dollar Man|The Six million Dollar Man]] and [[wikipedia:Sesame street|Sesame Street]], as well as the bleak vision of movies like [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066769/ The Andromeda Strain], [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074812/ Logan's Run] and [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067756/ Silent Running]. The duo was also picking up influences from the more synthetic exponents of new-wave pop of the time, in particular Devote and [http://www.discogs.com/artist/Human+League,+The The Human League]. For a few years Mike focused on creating a band, to keep himself anchored whilst his family relocated several times between northern Scotland, London in England and Alberta in Canada. By the age of ten, now based back in Scotland, Mike was making his own home recordings on old worn-out BASF cassettes. <br />
<br />
The sci-fi paranoia and flawed TV soundtracks of that era were a big influence on the duo, as were the early arcade videogames of the time. At the beginning of the 1980's Mike and Marcus had begun writing tracks that imitated the warbling, damaged sounding music found on the soundtracks of 16mm educational documentaries made by the [[National Film Board of Canada]], and they later named their band as a nod to this early influence. <br />
<br />
The band spent the early eighties near the beaches of north-east Scotland making crude multi-track recordings with friends, using borrowed tape machines, analogue synths and live drums. Around 1981 they had begun producing home-made movies on Super-8 cine film, and were creating the films' soundtracks by themselves. By 1984, aged thirteen, Mike was already visiting a local recording studio and making rough demos. Mike and Marcus were by now producing more structured songs with any instruments they could lay their hands on, as well as completely abstract tape collages of found sounds from radio and TV. <br />
<br />
In the mid-eighties, now based near Edinburgh in Scotland, Mike recruited a few friends to form the first of several incarnations of a 'proper' band. Marcus Eoin was drafted in, initially as a bass player, but he soon emerged as co-writer and co-conspirator for what the band was later to become. At this point the band had a fairly traditional live set-up; guitars, bass, keyboards, drummer and occasional vocals, but the emphasis was on minimal, atonal electronic songs, a sound that easily stood out amongst the abundance of traditional rock and hair-metal bands the audiences in their local area were used to. The line-up of the group changed frequently, and Marcus was later quoted as saying that they had gone through at least fourteen other musicians during this period, a statistic Mark E. Smith would be proud of. <br />
<br />
During the late 1980's whilst working on a series of film and photographic projects, the group decided to create a studio of their own. Unrewarding day-jobs funded the purchase of audio gear and a variety of exotic acoustic musical instruments, and with the acquisition of samplers the band began producing do-it-yourself garage demos on their own label [http://www.music70.com/ Music70] which they distributed mainly amongst friends. Soon the band was producing cassette EP's and even entire albums of demo material, some of which have since gone on to become legendary collectors' items. It was during this period that the name [[Boards of Canada]], initially an EP project title, became the name of the band. <br />
<br />
Around 1990 Mike and Marcus, frustrated by the traditional line-up and the lack of commitment of other band members, started to mould the band's performances into something altogether more bizarre. Every summer Mike and Marcus collaborated with friends under the name [http://www.hexagonsun.com/ Hexagon Sun] to throw late-night outdoor parties in the countryside near their studio in Scotland, where bonfires were accompanied by electronic music, processed television themes, films, projections and reversed speech tapes to create an exciting, if slightly threatening, atmosphere. These nights, which the band still occasionally organise to this day, became known as 'Redmoon' nights after an early event which was dramatically backdropped by a blood-red full moon. <br />
<br />
In the summer of 1995 [[Boards of Canada]] recorded and self-financed a vinyl-only limited-edition album called [[Twoism (release)|Twoism]]. It was essentially a well-produced demo, and the intention was to mail it out to record companies and artists that the group were listening to at that point. The album was a breath of fresh air to those who had grown tired of the frantic and polished sci-fi studio acrobatics of jungle and drum&amp;bass which were the predominant trends in electronic music of the time. [[Twoism (release)|Twoism]] was a collection of spacious, gnarled and glacial tones and dissonant, melancholy melodies over sparse hip-hop beats, but with a curiously deliberate 'broken-ness' to the production. Every melody had been created to wobble and flutter slightly, like damaged music from an old worn-out cassette. In an era of clean, digital music, and with compact discs having largely replaced vinyl as the primary format for commercial music, this nostalgic, imperfect sound was to earn [[Boards of Canada]] huge respect as innovators in subsequent years. <br />
<br />
At the beginning of 1996 a copy of [[Twoism (release)|Twoism]] arrived at the headquarters of [http://www.discogs.com/label/Skam Skam Records] in Manchester, England, and within a day of hearing it, [http://www.discogs.com/artist/Autechre Autechre]'s Sean Booth had contacted [[Boards of Canada]]. Mike and Marcus recorded the [[Hi Scores (release)|Hi Scores]] EP for Skam and it was released later that year. A string of live dates followed, notably including an appearance at the 1997 Phoenix Festival, where BOC brought their anachronistic sounds and Super-8 visuals to play alongside various luminaries of the electronic music scene. <br />
<br />
In February 1998, amid much speculation, the announcement came that [[Boards of Canada]] had signed to [http://www.warprecords.com/ Warp Records], and after a few remixes and single appearances, the band completed the album [[Music Has the Right to Children]] which was jointly released between Warp Records and Skam Records in April 1998. <br />
<br />
[[Music Has the Right to Children]] combined beautiful sparse melodies with off-pitch analogue synths and moments of unsettling fragmented speech, all produced with the band's trademark 'damaged' sound. The record closes with the very wry anti-censorship message [[One Very Important Thought]], which pastiches the messages usually found at the end of 1980's porno videos: a very 'BOC' moment. <br />
<br />
[[Music Has the Right to Children]] received rave reviews in the international music press, and after landing a licensing deal with Matador Records in the USA it went on to become one of the most highly acclaimed records of 1998 and received multiple end-of-year awards. "Album of the Issue" - Jockey Slut, April/May 1998, "Album of the Month" - Wax magazine, May 1998. "No.16" - NME Albums of the Year 198, "No.3" - Jockey Slut Albums of the Year 1998, "No.5" - The Wire Albums of the Year 1998, "No.8" - DJ Magazine Albums of the Year 1998, "No.19" - Muzik Albums of the Year 1998. <br />
<br />
[[Boards of Canada]] recorded an exclusive session for the [[wikipedia:John Peel|John Peel]] Show on the UK's Radio 1 in June 1998, and performed live on the show during the recording of the session. Peel described it on air as an "excellent session." Warp later released the session as a single. <br />
<br />
[[Music Has the Right to Children]] returned to the UK Independent Chart top 20 in February 1999, and after staying around for three weeks it peaked at number 7. Simultaneously the [[Peel Session|Peel Session single]] hung around the Top 10 of the Independent Singles Chart for several weeks. [[Boards of Canada]] soon found themselves in demand for remix work and obliged with a handful of mixes for various artists, including the hugely influential [http://www.discogs.com/artist/Meat+Beat+Manifesto Meat Beat Manifesto]. <br />
<br />
In May 1999 NME included [[Boards of Canada]] in its "Top Ten Nu-Psychedelic Bands," alongside Mercury Rev &amp; The Beta Band. In the same issue NME ranked [[Boards of Canada]]'s debut album 'Music Has the Right to Children' in its "Top 25 Psychedelic Records of All Time". <br />
<br />
From 1999 onward various tracks from the BOC back-catalogue were being licensed for compilation albums, TV synchronisation and film soundtracks all over the world. In the summer of 1999 [[Boards of Canada]] commenced work on their second full-length album for [http://www.warprecords.com/ Warp Records]. Meanwhile they contributed two exclusive tracks to Warp's 10th birthday celebration albums which were released later that year. <br />
<br />
In November 2000, after a few more live dates in the UK, the band released a four-track EP called [[wikipedia:In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country|In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country]]. It was a deceptively optimistic title for a collection of beautifully sad, melancholy tunes, especially as closer inspection revealed references in the artwork and titles to the 1993 killings by FBI agents of [[wikipedia:David Koresh|David Koresh]]'s [[wikipedia:Branch Davidian|Branch Davidian]] cult at Waco in Texas. <br />
<br />
In april 2001 BOC headlined at [[wikipedia:All Tomorrow's Parties (music festival)|All Tomorrow's Parties]], a festival on the south coast of England with an esoteric line-up including Lambchop, Television, Yo La Tengo, Tortoise, Broadcast, Sun Ra Arkestra, and many others. <br />
<br />
In February 2002 [[Boards of Canada]] released [[Geogaddi]], the long-awaited follow-up to [[Music Has the Right to Children]]. Described as a darker partner to the previous album, with its swirling psychedelic melodies and layers of dense ephemeral detail, it managed to be both beautiful and disturbing. [[Geogaddi]] immediately entered the Top 20 Album Chart and stayed there for several weeks. In interviews, Mike and Marcus revealed that the album had included many so-called 'easter eggs', and that some of the music had been developed using number theory and equations such as the Fibonacci Ratio. This led to some of the band's fans setting up entire websites devoted to decryption of the 'back-masking' and other hidden details on the record. Ultimately, BOC's true intentions were written there clearly all along; in typical sardonic style they had even included a track on the album entitled [[The Devil Is In The Details]], as a kind of knowing wink to the astute listener. <br />
<br />
In September 2002 [[Boards of Canada]] produced a lush remix of US artist [http://www.discogs.com/artist/Boom+Bip Boom Bip]'s track 'Last Walk around Mirror Lake' for a single taken from his 'Seed to Sun' LP, and in February 2004 BOC created a giddy reworking of the song 'Dead Dogs Two' by US band [http://www.discogs.com/artist/cLOUDDEAD cLOUDDEAD] from Oakland. The BOC version brought in the whole gamut of retro psychedelic elements including reversed guitars, flutes, sitars and strings, and culminated in a wigged-out Beatles-esque climax reminiscent of 'A Day In The Life'. <br />
<br />
In the summer of 2004 Mike became a father. His daughter was born during the writing sessions of the band's forthcoming third studio album for Warp. <br />
<br />
At the end of 2004 US artist [http://www.discogs.com/artist/Beck Beck] asked [[Boards of Canada]] to remix a song from his upcoming album 'Guero'. BOC took the vocal lines of his beautifully wistful track [http://lyricwiki.org/Beck:Broken_Drum Broken Drum] and created a whole new melody around them, with an epic, heavily layered crescendo. In an interview with Clash magazine in the spring of 2005, Beck described the remix as "my favourite remix I've ever had done, they brought out something that was there but then they just added a whole new dimension. I guess it's quite an emotional song and they brought out something bittersweet in it that was kinda hippyish, but it doesn't maim you with saccharin. It kinda gets you right in the chest." <br />
<br />
In summer 2005 [[Boards of Canada]] completed work on their third album for [http://wwww.warprecords.com/ Warp Records]. [[The Campfire Headphase]] is set for worldwide release in October 2005. <br />

<br />
<br>Boards of Canada originate around 1976 when Michael and Marcus were children. Both learned to play various musical instruments while moving and relocating between northern Scotland, southern England and Alberta in Canada. Around 1980 on the north-east coast of Scotland the first version of the band was formed, not yet including Marcus Eoin in the line-up. For the next few years Mike and cohorts created experimental music using borrowed synths, drums and tape machines. <br />
<br />
Around this time the band were starting to create home movies with a Super-8 camera. Educational television documentaries and film soundtracks were becoming a big influence on the group and the crossover between their musical creations and their film creations was becoming more blurred. The documentaries of the National Film Board of Canada were regular viewing for the young collective, and they were later to name their band as a nod to this early influence. <br />
<br />
By Spring 1984 Mike had produced various multi-tracked works at a professional recording studio by his home on the coast. Mike, Marcus and other friends spent the early eighties making music near the beaches of north-east Scotland. They blended real instruments and voices with the sounds of home computers and found sounds from radio and television. <br />
<br />
In 1986 Marcus joined Mike's band, as a bassist. They were the only live band in their area performing hard, minimal electronic music; (showcase gigs in their rural hometown saw them billed alongside an endless procession of glam-rock covers bands who played New York Dolls and Poison). With frequent line-up changes, by the end of the eighties Boards of Canada eventually had comprised as many as fourteen different members. <br />
<br />
In the late eighties the band and their surrounding collective were making longer films and extensive photographic projects. The films were soundtracked by Boards of Canada. The group's work utilised brooding imagery and cryptic, psychedelic pictures and texts to achieve feelings of nostalgia, confusion, and loss. <br />
<br />
By 1989 Boards of Canada had embarked on the creation of their own studio. The band began putting on occasional outdoor happenings. They used projections, films, monitors, and played tapes of bizarre recordings including television themes with reversed vocal messages mixed over the music. <br />
<br />
From 1992 to 1994 various small musical and visual projects took place, whilst the band's collective Hexagon Sun began regular Redmoon nights at a ruin near their own studio in Scotland. Large bonfires were lit and guests found themselves listening to, among other things, old children's songs being mixed over steady electronic pulses. In the summer of 1995 the band and their friends officially christened their studio in the Pentland Hills Hexagon Sun, and the collective have continued their work on recordings, films and gatherings from this location. (Every year in the spring and summer Hexagon Sun hosts various small rural music gatherings, which attract many local heads.) <br />
<br />
For some time Boards of Canada had been recording EP's and "albums" by financing the manufacture themselves, on their own label Music70, but the first of these to be released outside the band's own circle of friends was Twoism, a limited-edition collection of grainy, melancholy melodies over slow, dry electronic rhythms. <br />
<br />
In early 1996 a copy of Twoism reached the headquarters of the electronic label Skam in Manchester, England, and within a day Autechre's Sean Booth had contacted the duo. Mike &amp; Marcus recorded the Hi Scores EP for Skam Records. BOC brought their full live show including Super-8 and video visuals when they played alongside Autechre, Panasonic &amp; Cylob in London in July 1996. <br />
<br />
Skam Records and Munich's Musik Aus Strom teamed up in 1997 to release a series of very limited compilation EP's under the name MASK, the first of which included an exclusive track by Boards of Canada. The second MASK instalment contained a track by one of the band's alter-egos, "Hell Interface." From now on Boards of Canada's music was being licensed for appearances on compilation albums all over the world. <br />
<br />
At this time Boards of Canada gave a few performances around the UK, notably including a performance at the Phoenix Festival in July 1997, using onstage video visuals which cut from Super-8 movies to "blipvert"-style subliminal messaging. BOC once again supported labelmates Autechre in Scotland, and Seefeel in London, as well as headlining for Skam in Manchester. Meanwhile they released new music under the pseudonym Hell Interface, and obliged with remixes for a handful of artists. <br />
<br />
In February 1998, much speculation preceded the announcement that Boards of Canada had signed to Sheffield's Warp Records. In the spring of 1998, after a remix for Mira Calix on Warp Records, and a limited edition 7" release of Aquarius on Skam Records, the duo completed an album for a joint release between Skam &amp; Warp Records. Music Has the Right to Children was released on 20th April 1998. <br />
<br />
The BOC debut album received excellent reviews in many music publications in the UK and Europe. "Album of the Issue" - Jockey Slut, April/May 1998, "Album of the Month" - Wax magazine, May 1998. <br />
<br />
Boards of Canada recorded an exclusive session for the John Peel Show on Radio One in June 1998, and performed live on the John Peel Show, during the recording of the session. Peel described it on air as an "excellent session." <br />
<br />
In July 1998 BOC landed a licensing deal in the USA with New York's Matador Records. Music Has the Right to Children was set for a September 1998 US release. That summer BOC commenced work on their second album for Warp Records, while Music Has the Right to Children was released in the USA. Jack Dangers of Meat Beat Manifesto approached the band, and BOC remixed his single Prime Audio Soup. <br />
<br />
In January 1999 the BOC album Music Has The Right To Children became one of the most highly acclaimed albums of 1998 in magazine end-of-year polls; "No.16" - NME, "No.3" - Jockey Slut, "No.5" - The Wire, "No.8" - DJ Magazine, "No.19" - Muzik. In the same month Warp Records released a single of the BOC Peel Session that had aired the previous year on the UK's Radio 1. <br />

From 1999 onward various tracks from the BOC back-catalogue were being licensed for compilation albums, TV synchronisation and film soundtracks all over the world. <br />
<br />
Throughout the summer of 1999 Boards of Canada continued to work on their second album, and in August 1999 they contributed two tracks to Warp Records' 10th Birthday celebration albums, for release later in the year. <br />
<br />
In November 1999 Boards of Canada performed live at Warp Records' 10th Birthday Party in London alongside Autechre, Squarepusher, Aphex Twin and Mira Calix. The BOC live visual show, produced by the band themselves along with contributions from Hexagon Sun collaborators, was by now incorporating more finely-honed experimentation with subliminal text and imagery. <br />
<br />
In October 2000 Boards of Canada performed live at The Incredible Warp Lighthouse Party, an electronic showcase event at a lighthouse on the River Thames in London, alongside various luminaries of the electronic music world including Autechre, Plaid, Aphex Twin, Skam artists, Schematic artists from the USA, Prefuse 73, and various others. <br />
<br />
In November 2000 Boards of Canada released a four-track EP In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country. <br />

*Biographical details by PIC, S. Goderich, 2000. (pre-Lighthouse)<br />
<br />
<br>The origins of Boards of Canada date from around 1976 when Michael and Marcus were young children. They both learned to play various instruments while moving and relocating between northern Scotland, southern England and Alberta in Canada. Around 1980 on the north-east coast of Scotland the first version of the band was formed, not yet including Marcus Eoin in the line-up. For the next few years Mike and his friends created experimental music using borrowed synths, drums and tape machines. <br />
<br />
Around this time the band were starting to create home movies with a Super-8 camera. Educational television documentaries and film soundtracks were becoming a big influence on the group and the crossover between their musical creations and their film creations was becoming more blurred. The documentaries of the National Film Board of Canada were regular viewing for the young collective, and they were later to name their band as a nod to this early influence. <br />
<br />
By Spring 1984 Mike had produced various multitracked works at a professional recording studio by his home on the coast. Mike, Marcus and other friends spent the early eighties making music near the beaches of north-east Scotland. They blended real instruments and voices with the sounds of home computers and found sounds from radio and television. <br />
<br />
In 1986 Marcus joined Mike’s band, as a bassist. They were the only live band in their area performing hard, minimal electronic music; (Showcase gigs in their rural hometown saw them billed alongside an endless procession of glam-rock covers bands who played New York Dolls and Poison). With frequent line-up changes, Boards of Canada eventually had comprised as many as fourteen different members. <br />
<br />
In the late eighties the band and their surrounding collective were making longer films and extensive photographic projects. The films were soundtracked by Boards of Canada. The group’s work utilised brooding imagery and cryptic pictures and texts to achieve feelings of nostalgia, confusion, and loss. <br />
<br />
By 1989 Boards of Canada had reduced itself to three core members, Mike, Marcus and Chris. With various collaborators they embarked on the creation of their own studio. The trio began putting on occasional outdoor happenings. They used projections, films, monitors, and played tapes of bizarre recordings including television themes with reversed vocal messages mixed over the music. <br />
<br />
From 1992 to 1994 various small musical and visual projects took place, whilst the band’s collective “Hexagon Sun” began regular “Redmoon” nights at a ruin near their own studio in Scotland. Large bonfires were lit and guests found themselves listening to, among other things, old children’s songs being mixed over steady electronic pulses. In the summer of 1995 the band and their friends officially christened their studio in the Pentland Hills “Hexagon Sun,” and the collective have continued their work on recordings, films and gatherings from this location. (Every year in the spring and summer Hexagon Sun hosts various small rural music gatherings, which attract many local heads.) <br />
<br />
For some time Boards of Canada had been recording EP’s and “albums” by financing the manufacture themselves, on their own label Music70, but the first of these to be released outside the band’s own circle of friends was “Twoism,” a limited-edition collection of grainy, melancholy melodies over slow, dry electronic rhythms. <br />
<br />
In early 1996 Chris departed. Some time later a copy of “Twoism” reached the headquarters of the electronic label Skam in Manchester, England, and within a day Autechre’s Sean Booth had contacted the remaining duo. Mike &amp; Marcus recorded the “Hi Scores” EP for Skam Records. BOC brought their full live show including Super-8 and video visuals when they played alongside Autechre, Panasonic &amp; Cylob in London in July 1996. <br />
<br />
Skam Records and Munich’s Musik Aus Strom teamed up in 1997 to release a series of very limited compilation EP’s under the name “MASK,” the first of which included an exclusive track by Boards of Canada. The second MASK installment contained a track by one of the band’s alter-egos, “Hell Interface.” From now on Boards of Canada’s music was being licensed for appearances on compilation albums all over the world. <br />
<br />
At this time Boards of Canada gave a few performances around the UK, notably including a performance at the Phoenix Festival in July 1997, using onstage video visuals which cut from Super-8 movies to “blipvert”-style subliminal messaging. BOC once again supported labelmates Autechre in Scotland, and Seefeel in London, as well as headlining for Skam in Manchester. Meanwhile they released new music under the pseudonym Hell Interface, and obliged with remixes for a handful of artists. <br />
<br />
In February 1998, much speculation preceded the announcement that Boards of Canada had signed to Sheffield’s Warp Records. <br />
<br />
In the spring of 1998, after a remix for Mira Calix on Warp Records, and a limited edition 7" release of “Aquarius” on Skam Records, the duo completed an album for a joint release between Skam &amp; Warp Records. ‘Music Has the Right to Children’ was released on 20th April 1998. <br />
<br />
The BOC debut album received excellent reviews in many music publications in the UK and Europe. “Album of the Issue” - Jockey Slut, April/May 1998, “Album of the Month” - Wax magazine, May 1998. <br />
<br />
Boards of Canada recorded an exclusive session for the John Peel Show on Radio One in June 1998, and performed live on the John Peel Show, during the recording of the session. Peel described it on air as an “excellent session.” <br />
<br />
In July 1998 BOC landed a long-term licensing deal in the USA with New York’s Matador Records. ‘Music Has the Right to Children’ was set for a September 1998 US release. That summer BOC commenced work on their second album for Warp Records, while ‘Music Has the Right to Children’ was released in the USA. Jack Dangers of Meat Beat Manifesto approached the band, and BOC remixed his single “Prime Audio Soup.” <br />
<br />
In January 1999 the BOC album ‘Music Has The Right To Children’ became one of the most highly acclaimed albums of 1998 in magazine end-of-year polls; “No.16” - NME, “No.3” - Jockey Slut, “No.5” - The Wire, “No.8” - DJ Magazine, “No.19” - Muzik. In the same month Warp Records released a single of the BOC Peel Session that had aired the previous year on the UK’s Radio One. <br />
<br />
‘Music Has The Right To Children’ returned to the UK Independent Chart Top 20 in February 1999, and after staying around for three weeks it peaked at number 7. Simultaneously the Peel Session single hung around the Top 10 of the Independent singles chart for several weeks. <br />
<br />
On the 22nd of May 1999 NME included Boards of Canada in its “Top Ten Nu-Psychedelic Bands,” alongside Mercury Rev &amp; The Beta Band. <br />
<br />
In the same issue, NME ranked Boards of Canada’s debut album ‘Music Has The Right To Children’ in its Top 25 Psychedelic Records of All Time: <br />
<br />

#The Byrds - Eight Miles High <br />

<br>michael sandison (b.1971) marcus eoin (b.1973) <br />
<br />
1977-1980: both started learning piano and guitar in the late seventies. mike &amp; marcus had lived in London &amp; Calgary as children in the seventies. <br />
<br />
1980: michael's first schoolband (c.1980) comprised live drums, bass and keyboards. sounded like video game tunes repeated to infinity. <br />
<br />
1981-1982: michael and marcus were captivated by the earnest simplicity of documentary filmmaking on television, and the accompanying soundtracks. <br />
<br />
1983: michael made his first super-8 movie with schoolfriends. the film included special lighting effects creted by damaging the film in various ways. <br />
<br />
1984: michael's first visit to a recording studio (arranged by a music teacher) yields three or four multi-tracked synth tunes, which he later performs at school with the aid of a reel-to-reel accompaniment (no sequencers available to him). both michael and marcus were at this time recording found sounds from television and punching them into sequences of a very basic household tape-recorder. the duo began a crude form of multi-tracking by bouncing tracks back and forth between the tape recorder and an old hi-fi. Instruments used included pianos, voices &amp; schoolbags! <br />
<br />
1984: marcus began programming multi-tracked melodies on his BBC Microcomputer. he composed mathematically, once notably writing an entire tune as a mathematical palindrome. <br />
<br />
1985: began making the first of many tapes of experimental tunes, mostly very melodic but instrumental. <br />
<br />
1986: michael formed a new band, this time with a full line-up of drums, bass, guitars, vocals. once played a cover of "L.A." by The Fall, who spookily turned up eleven years later on a Skam compilation "0161", Skam being the first label to release a Boards of Canada EP. <br />

<br />
1987: at another all-weekend music marathon, michael consumed a massive amount of Pro-Plus and performed a six-hour drum solo onstage from 1am to 7am. <br />
<br />
1988: michael bought what he now describes as the band's "secret weapon" synth from a friend for �100 whilst travelling on a bus. <br />
<br />
1988: the collective surrounding the bandbegan making unusual films (later under the name Music70), mostly on super-8 or video. the films were sometimes coherent stories, sometimes fractured messages. the tone of the imagery of the band's filmaking &amp; photography at that time was nostalgic, minimal and electronic; portraits of electric pylons, coupled with music that might have been written by eletric pylons; a sinister story of a road journey into the patterns on a peacock's tail. <br />
<br />
1989: two band members left and the remaining three of michael, marcus and chris decided to carry on by borrowing money to purchase more electronics. <br />
<br />

<br />
1992-1994: various musical and visual projects took place, whilst the band began regular "Redmoon" nights at a ruined monastery stable near their studio in Scotland. people would turn up to several large bonfires at these nights, to listen to old children's television themes being mixed over steady electronic pulses. <br />
