Latest revision as of 16:44, 6 October 2026

An overview of registered works & songs. This calendar shows the anniversaries of Boards of Canada's albums and eps.


Official Releases[edit]

Albums[edit]

EPs and 12"s[edit]

Digital[edit]

Rare/Early Releases[edit]

The Difference[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.

Pre-Twoism[edit]

Post-Twoism[edit]

Unofficial[edit]

Mixtapes[edit]

Live Bootlegs[edit]

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.
  • Sixtyniner : July 1998. 7". Limited 500 copies. DISKONO001X.
  • Seven Forty Seven : 5 October 2009. CD + 10". WARPCD20³ + 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.

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.


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.

Web Loops[edit]

A number of short snippets of music were featured as loops on Boards of Canada's old website, which was taken down in 2000. These loops ranged from 5 to 84 seconds in length. Many of these loops are extracts from known longer tracks, including some tracks from Geogaddi, which was not released at the time, as well as much older tracks, such as "Circle" from Boards of Canada's unheard 1994 album Hooper Bay. Some of these loops contain completely unreleased music not available anywhere else, and these are presumed to also be taken from longer complete tracks. A 15 minute video containing all of the web loops on was uploaded to YouTube on August 1st 2011.

List of All Loops[edit]

Loops also found on interactive webpage:

Fakes[edit]

Main page: Fakes, Bootlegs, and Bad Tags


Fake tracks purported to be by Boards of Canada have been prevalent in online spaces related to the band since the early 2000s. Initially most of these fake tracks were simply mislabelled tracks by other artists such as Múm, but in more recent years there has been an increasing prevalence of intentionally-made fake Boards of Canada tracks. The quality of these tracks and their similarity to authentic Boards of Canada varies widely, with many more recent fakes becoming ever more sophisticated in their approach.


Fakes have been labelled in a variety of ways; some use the titles of known early Boards of Canada tracks that are publicly unheard, others use made-up 'BoC-esque' titles, and others are presented as having unknown titles, the latter often as compilations similar to the authentic Random 35 Tracks Tape. As a general rule, any purported Boards of Canada track claimed to be from the unheard pre-1995 releases (see above) is most likely fake, as is any track not included on any of the releases listed on this page.
