Info

• Welcome to the redesigned fredd-e.narfum.org wiki created around and about Boards of Canada. Here you will find information and analyses on the brothers various creations and themselves.

• This wiki has become the new unofficial boc pages. All the info from the former boc pages has been migrated. This implies that the former boc pages are as of now redundant. --Fredd-E 02:44, 26 August 2008 (CEST)

• Feel free to add/edit content as you please. The Bunker is a great place to start reading about some guidelines on doing so. Also the mediawiki reference card is a one page summary of important MediaWiki editing commands, intended to be printed out and used next to the computer.

• You don't have to be a registered user to edit, but it would be nice if you do register. A great place to start editing: the list of articles that need expansion or you could browse the article list.

Frequently Asked Questions

• I downloaded Catalog 3 / Acid Memories / Closes Vol.1 / Play by Numbers / Hooper Bay on Soulseek. Legit?

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's not possible to acquire them on the internet.

• I downloaded a collection of BoC tracks labeled as A Few Old Tunes Volume 2. Are these tracks legit?

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 Volume 01 and/or Old Tunes Volume 02.

• I downloaded a BoC track labeled Eno Test / Parson / Trillions / Treeline / Nskino / Gridlock / Lavender Trapezoids / Golden Hinterland / Rhomboid. Are they legit?

No, they are just a bunch of mislabeled mp3s floating around the internet. Please see the discography for more information.

No, they are just normal lads like you and me. Please read the interviews for more insights.
