Limited to roughly 100 copies and distributed privately by [[Boards of Canada]] themselves via their [[Music70]] label, 1995's [[Twoism]] successfully landed the brothers a recording contract with the highly respected indie-electronica label [[SKAM|SKAM Records]]. Public availability of original copies of this work were largely thanks to the efforts of early [[Boards of Canada|BoC]] webmaster [[The Cosmic Crofter]], who received permission to distribute back copies to interested fans through the [[EHX]] website and the [[IDM mailing list]].

When asked by HMV about the obscenely high prices the record was going for, [[Marcus_Eoin_Sandison|Marcus Sandison]] replied wryly that "[s]ome people have clearly got too much money on their hands" ([[Interviews#2002-02:_HMV|HMV Interview, 2002]]). |

Stylistically, the album foreshadows what was to come on subsequent [[Wikipedia:Boards of Canada|Boards of Canada]] releases, with two of the tracks ([[Seeya Later]] and [[Smokes Quantity]]) being re-released on later records. One artistic deviation of note, however, is found in the track "Basefree," representing one of Boards of Canada's few forays into industrial territory. | Stylistically, the album foreshadows what was to come on subsequent [[Wikipedia:Boards of Canada|Boards of Canada]] releases, with two of the tracks ([[Seeya Later]] and [[Smokes Quantity]]) being re-released on later records.

** The frame is taken from about 5 minutes from the end of the film; Captain Young is on the left, and Dr Saunders (female) on the right; at this point in the film, these are the only 2 left alive. In the film, there are a few sequences where, as seen from the "baddies'" perspective, the astronauts are seen wandering about on the landscape as though viewed through a fish-eye lens. Interestingly, some of [[Boards of Canada|BoC]]'s own photos of themselves are in that style.
