The [[Hell Interface]] side-project seems to be more in the nature of a remix project than [[Boards of Canada]] proper. The works released under the HI name are: remixes of [[Trapped|Colonel Abrams' Trapped]] and of [[Midas Touch|Midnight Star's Midas Touch]], and a strange little speech-only track called [[The Story of Xentrix]]. Can this last track be described as a remix? Most of the speech seems to be synthesized; however, the last few words sound rather different - perhaps from another source (just speculation).

Latest revision as of 19:44, 3 July 2025

An overview of registered works.

General Releases[edit]

Albums[edit]

EPs and 12"s[edit]

Digital[edit]

Early vs. Late Releases[edit]

Boards of Canada's discography essentially falls in two camps.

  • The well-known releases that followed after the duo were signed, first to SKAM and then to Warp Records, which can be purchased in any decent record shop.
  • The releases which precede this, of which original copies are exceptionally rare. Much of the knowledge we have of the latter is due to The Cosmic Crofter's webpage, which is now defunct.
    • The exceptions: copies of Boc Maxima and the "Old Tunes" tapes which are almost certainly legitimate are readily available on the p2p networks.
    • These older items are NOT AVAILABLE; only friends and family of BoC have heard them.
      • In addition, three extracts of genuine old tracks came from a BoC-related website that no longer exists. They are: "Duffy" (0:24), "Wouldn't You Like To Be Free" (0:56), and "Circle" (0:35). "Duffy" is a gentle and innocent track, similar in theme to "Melissa Juice"; "Wouldn't You Like To Be Free" features massed guitars; "Circle" features slowly-changing high-pitched glacial tones, fitting the Alaskan theme of the album it comes from.

Rare/Early Releases[edit]

Fakes[edit]

Many albums which purport to be other rare releases are commonplace too, but almost without exception, these have proven to be fakes of varying qualities so far.

More insights can be read at Fakes, Bootlegs, and Bad Tags.

Mixtapes[edit]

Live Bootlegs[edit]

An overview of Boards of Canada's live set geographical locations can be seen here.

Some of those performances were bootlegged:

Promotional Releases[edit]

Remixes[edit]

Remixes by BoC[edit]

Remixes of BoC[edit]

Notes[edit]
  • Several bootleg remixes of BoC tracks also exist, but are not listed here.
  • ROYGBIV (Alpha Quest Mix) was a custom edit by BoC for an independent film. Not intended to be released, the mix was leaked onto the internet.

Tracks On Compilations[edit]

As Boards of Canada[edit]

  • Korona : Dec 1996. 12". Limited Edition. MASK100.
  • Orange Romeda : 29 June 1998. CD + 12". WAP100CD + WAP100.

  • Seven Forty Seven : 5 October 2009. CD + 10". WARPCD20Β³ + WARP20⁰

As Hell Interface[edit]

The Hell Interface side-project seems to be more in the nature of a remix project than Boards of Canada proper.

Produced by BoC for Others[edit]

Bootleg Releases[edit]

Others[edit]

Radio Shows[edit]

BMI Repertoire search results[edit]

A number of track titles, listed below, returned by a BMI Repertoire search for "Michael Sandison" do not appear in the track listing of any known BoC or Hell Interface release. However, in most cases it is known what they refer to.

BoC Old Website[edit]

Boards of Canada's old website disappeared in 2000. Some fans managed to capture music loops that played on the site, many of which were simply Boards of Canada fiddling around, but some early works later became full songs. A 15 minute YouTube video surfaced on August 1st, 2011, containing all the loops on the site, and is embedded below.
