== FAQ ==
* Will there be a followup LP to ''[[Tomorrow's Harvest]]''?
<blockquote>
Yes, according to the informal online BoC representative [[MDG]]. <ref>https://bocpages.org/wiki/Statements_from_Hexagon_Sun#June_2022</ref>
</blockquote>

* I downloaded [[Catalog 3]] / [[Acid Memories]] / [[Closes Vol. 1]] / [[Play by Numbers]] / [[Hooper Bay]] on [[wikipedia:Soulseek|Soulseek]]. Legit?
<blockquote>
No, they aren't. Please read the first paragraph of the discography. Also, copies of these albums were only given to friends and family of the band which implies that it is not possible to acquire them on the Internet.
</blockquote>

* I downloaded a collection of [[Boards of Canada|BoC]] tracks labeled as A Few Old Tunes Volume 2. Legit?
<blockquote>
There is no such thing as A Few Old Tunes Volume 2. The tracks you downloaded however are most likely a collection of tracks from genuine BoC compilations; probably compiled from the following authentic BoC material: [[A Few Old Tunes]], [[Old_Tunes_Vol._1|Old Tunes Volume 01]] and/or [[Old_Tunes_Vol._2|Old Tunes Volume 02]].
</blockquote>

* I downloaded a [[Boards of Canada|BoC]] track labeled [[Eno_Test_%26_Parson|Eno Test / Parson]] / Trillions / Treeline / Nskino / Gridlock / [[Lavender_Trapezoids_EP|Lavender Trapezoids]] / Golden Hinterland / Rhomboid. Legit?
<blockquote>
No, they are just a bunch of mislabeled mp3s floating around the internet. Please see the [[Discography#Fakes|Discography]] for more information.
</blockquote>

* Are [[Boards of Canada|BoC]] pagans / Satanists / [various other strange suggestions]?
<blockquote>
No, they are just normal lads like you and me. Please read the [[Interviews]] for more insights.
