== Early vs. Late Releases ==
+
An overview of [[Registered_works|registered works]] & [[:Category:Song|songs]]. This [[Release Date Anniversary|calendar]] shows the anniversaries of [[Boards of Canada]]'s albums and eps.
−
[[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" (extract) (0:24), [[Wouldn't You Like To Be Free]] (extract) (0:56), [[circle]] (extract) (0:35), [[duffy]] is a gentle and innocent track a little bit similar to [[Melissa Juice]]; "wouldn't you like to be free?" features massed guitars; "circle" has slowly changing high-pitched glacial tones, fitting the Alaskan theme of the album it comes from.
 
  
−
== Fakes ==
 
−
* 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.
 
−
** Among the fakes, the most common are [[eno test]] and [[parson]], wrongly taken to be by [http://www.discogs.com/artist/Marumari Marumari] and [[Boards of Canada|BoC]], whereas they are by [http://www.discogs.com/artist/Marumari Marumari] alone. A few other such mis-labelled tracks go around from time to time.
 
−
*** [[Stry Craty Bya]] (as seen [http://albumart.org/viewall_mp3.php?srchkey=Boards%20Of%20Canada here], for instance) is actually [[eno test]].
 
−
** Other fakes include a longer version of [[circle]] which sounds nothing like the genuine short extract. [[trillions]] (3:31) is a fake, as is [[treeline]] '(1:12).
 
−
** Another set of fake MP3s that went around were called [[nskino]], [[gridlock]], [[lavender trapezoids]], [[golden hinterland]], [[rhomboid]], and maybe some more. We've been told that these are mislabeled tracks by [http://www.discogs.com/artist/CiM CiM] [[nskino]] is really ''disco alta'', [[rhomboid]] is really ''isempty'', and so on (thanks, MCBPete). With any luck, the fakes will eventually stop being labelled as [[Boards of Canada|BoC]].
 
−
** "Slow Bicycle," a song by [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/múm múm], is often mislabeled as [[Seward Leaf]].
 
−
** A recent fake that surfaced is the track ''Sur Round'' [http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4388], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNouwiE8rRA]--[[User:Fredd-E|Fredd-E]] 15:00, 25 August 2008 (CEST)

=== As Hell Interface ===
 
−
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 [[Colonel Abrams - Trapped|Colonel Abrams' Trapped]] and of [[Midnight Star - 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).

There used to be link here to an animated trailer here, for a program called "Zentrix", which was taken down after a while. By request, here it is again (be aware that the trailer is not necessarily related to the Hell Interface track, except by the similarity of names). The trailer can be found at the Zentrix site [http://www.zentrix.tv/].

=== Web Loops ===
 +
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.

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 [[Wikipedia:Múm|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.

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]

  • Korona : Dec 1996. 12". Limited Edition. MASK100.

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.
