| − | + | Trans Canada Highway is an EP by [[Boards of Canada]]. As described by [http://www.warprecords.com/ Warp Records], the EP "visits a darker place, “a glacial place” as [[Boards of Canada]] put it, away from the warmth and light of [[The Campfire Headphase]]." Those who ordered the EP directly from Warp also received a sticker and a free copy of the [["Dayvan Cowboy" music video.]] | |
| − | + | Originally scheduled for release on 06/06/06 (perhaps to further their occult mythos), the release date was bumped up to 29 May 2006 (a day later in the US), due to what was described on the Warp website as "unanticipated satanic activity." The nature of this activity, whether it was directly related to Boards of Canada or not, has never been explained. | |
| − | + | The EP garnered relatively lukewarm reception by critics and by many in the idm community, the latter of whom were suspicious about the commercial ambitions suggested by the re-release of [[Dayvan Cowboy]] as a single. Nevertheless, tracks such as "Left Side Drive" remain classics with the general [[Boards of Canada]] fanbase. | |
| + | |||
| + | The ep was released on both CD and 12" formats. The latter was pressed on white vinyl. | ||
