Hooper Bay is the name of Boards of Canada's fifth known release. Hooper Bay introduced the use of children's voices^[1], a technique which would remain a staple of the band's style through the release of Geogaddi. It has been said that the three longest tracks on the EP mark the beginning of the band's "mature phase".^[2]

Of the EP's five tracks, only a 35-second excerpt of "Circle" (posted on the EHX website in the late 1990s) has been heard by those outside of the band's friends and family.^[3] A set of MP3s labeled Hooper Bay but with significantly shorter track times than the actual EP can be found on P2P networks; however, this set is mis-labeled and is not music by Boards of Canada.

Tracks

"Seward Leaf" – 7:02
"Geiser" – 5:15
"Circle" – 2:38
"Noatak" – 8:41
