Boards of Canada – A Few Old Tunes Vol.2 [Cassete][MP3][VBR][Very Rare]

A Few Old Tunes Vol. 2

Label: Music70

Format: Cassette

Country: UK

Released: ?

Genre: Electronic

Style: IDM, Downtempo, Ambient, Dark Electronic

That tiny room at the beach was absolutely the perfect place for my first time. When we came together, I could feel the hairs growing on my chest. I saw my future. I saw my past. 

For a few minutes it was like being alive. They lived happily ever after. All my questions had been answered. All my fears disappeared. All that was left was a kiss. Every move we made was a kiss.

Ok, I'm jealous of sharing this with you. This is a ultra rare release that I can't even remember where I got it. It's the real cassete rip of a unreleased album. Still, it's one of my favorite albums ever. The album ambient is dark, low ending music with lots of dark textures and black-and-white feeling, low-frequency background and a nice Boards of Canada feeling.

Tip: listen to Sir Pracelot Brainfire in the morning!

Hope you enjoy it.

Boards of Canada - Geogaddi [MP3][320]

A masterpiece. No doubts. That's all I have to say of this album. This was the first album I heard of Boards of Canada and it just changed my concept of music in a whole. I started paying attention to each detail on every music I heard after it. I recommend you listen to it at once, the full album.

Recommendations:

• Music is Math
• Sunshine Recorder
• A is to B is to C
• Dawn Chorus
• You Could Feel the Sky

Let's Face it, BoC with each release leave that style behind for an updated one, and in this case with 'Geogaddi' they have gotten a little more abstract and experimental. Sure they still have there glitched out beats with there non-organic samples of little childeren and nature documentaries, but they are are a different BoC and the fact that they have challenged themselves to step outside There Own Box, i think with a little time this one will grow on us...like Chemical Brothers and Underworld albums we always seem to nitpick them and state that there previous album was better, well what makes good artists is there constant change and evolution. Geogaddi has plenty of there 'Beaty' and tracks with lots of disturbed and meloncholy melodies such as 'Music is Math' and '1969', but now they have a lot more of this strange ambient sound mixed with an anxious yet different IDM sound 'Gyroscope'--'The Beach At Redpoint'--'You Could Feel The Sky' and 'Alpha and Omega', which was unexpected. 

I truly enjoy this album and I give props out to BoC for not letting the fans get to their heads and redoing a second version of MHtRtC.

Boards of Canada - Random 35 Tracks Tape [Cassete][MP3][320][Ultra Rare]

No oficial cover.

Random 35 Tracks Tape

Label: Music70

Format: Cassette

Country: UK

Released: 1995?

Genre: Electronic

Style: IDM, Downtempo, Ambient

-

Random 35 Tracks Tape (real name unknown) refers to a collection of 35 tracks leaked on P2P networks around September 2004. Unlike other "Old Tunes" tapes, the tracks are completely unlabeled; however, a few match known tracks from other sources, including commercial releases. No liner notes or tape scan have ever surfaced.

Despite its uncertain provenance, the tape is generally believed to be authentic.

Background

Random 35 Tracks Tape seems to be sourced from a cassette tape containing a (presumably) hand-selected set of pre-BoC Maxima tracks. The leaking of these tracks to P2P networks (Soulseek, originally) provided much drama on WATMM.

All files are encoded as 320kbps MP3.

For a long time, it was assumed that this tape was the missing Old Tunes Vol. 1 (since A Few Old Tunes and Old Tunes Vol. 2 were already known), although this was never confirmed. This was finally proven false when, on 08 Aug 2009, Twoism forum member dealer posted new photos of a cassette and liner notes showing the A Few Old Tunes and Old Tunes Vol. 1 were, in fact, the same release.

MDG has said that it is not known who compiled the tracks, calling it "a mystery, just a mixture".

Zoetrope, a user on radiomute.com, refferred to not only the commonly known A few Old Tunes and Old Tunes vol. 2, but also a third volume, which he appeared to reffer to this leaked release as. Some also seem to believe that this is a 'Closes vol. 2'.

Boards of Canada - Peel Session [MP3][320][Rare]

Peel Session

Label: Warp Records

Format: 12", CD

Country: UK

Released: 1999

Genre: Electronic

Style: IDM, Ambient, Downtempo

If you are a BoC fan like me you need to have all albums. Here's one I dare you have in your library. Aquarius had a little add on and Olson is very different. Enjoy.

Files are High quality MP3 320kbps ripped from pure FLAC.

Boards of Canada's Peel Session is a recording of their 21 July 1998 broadcast on BBC Radio 1 forPeel's radio program.

It features significantly different takes of both Aquarius and Olson. The version of Happy Cycling that we see on this release is not the same as what was actually broadcast, here we find the polished version that also appears as an extra track on Music Has The Right To Children and the broadcast version formerly known as Bad Day being dropped.

There is a great deal of misunderstanding about the nature and timing of this recording, in part because of the surfacing of an unreleased track on peer-to-peer networks entitled "XYZ." This track appears to have been a part of the Peel Session but was strangely omitted from the track listing of the official release.

"XYZ" in its full 9:38 cut (shortened versions still circulate) includes an exchange both before and after the track between John Peel and Boards of Canada.

Boards of Canada – A Few Old Tunes Vol.1 [Cassete][MP3][160][Very Rare]

A Few Old Tunes Vol. 1
Label: Music70
Format: Cassette
Country: UK
Released: ?
Genre: Electronic
Style: IDM, Downtempo







Ok, I'm jealous of sharing this with you. This is a ultra rare release that I can't even remember where I got it. It's the real cassete rip of a unreleased album. Still, it's one of my favorite albums ever. It has public-exclusive tracks like Spectrum and P.C.. The album ambient is dark, low ending music with lots of dark textures and black-and-white feeling, low-frequency background and a nice Boards of Canada feeling.
It also includes some remixes like Trapped, originally by Colonel Abrams in mid 80s.
In any way, a incredible and rare piece of sound. I can recommend the tracks:

• I Love U
• Original Nlogax
• 5-9-78

For 5-9-78, I ask you: please listen to this track cerefully. I dare you'll be the same person again.

Hope you enjoy it.

Commonly referred to as A Few Old Tunes, due to its label; however, according the Twoism forum user dealer, who posted new photos of the cassette and liner notes, it is also the true Old Tunes Vol. 1 (and not the tape previously assumed to be OTV1). But, on the other hand, the WATMM forum user phaelam posted new scans from a different angle which depict A Few Old Tunes as the cover and the cassette label.

Boards Of Canada – Boc Maxima [MP3][320]

BoC Maxima
Label: Music70
Format: CD, Mixed
Country: UK
Released: 1996
Genre: Electronic
Style: IDM, Downtempo, Experimental, Ambient








Hello my friends, I've always been obsessed by this fabulous duo. There are some albums that are ultra rare and some that can't even be found on the internet anymore. In any case, this is my first upload and I hope you like it. Here is a very nice album by Boards of Canada, one of my hardest finds. I can identify a Boards of Canada fake mix. This is the real one.

Files are compressed from pure FLAC files that I have access no more. Every file is 320kbps.

-
Limited to fifty copies, pressed on both cassette and cd formats, the tracks on BoC Maxima range from previously released material to songs which to this day have yet to see wide re-release. Many of the tracks featured on this disc would later be chosen for the track listing of Music Has The Right To Children, though with some differences (notably on One Very Important Thought.)

This release was broadcasted in full on France's Helter Skelter's radio programme in 2002.

Wildlife Analysis, Boc Maxima, Roygbiv, Turquoise Hexagon Sun and One Very Important Thought later appeared on Music Has the Right to Children. Everything You Do Is a Balloon, June 9th, Nlogax and Turquoise Hexagon Sun also appear on Hi Scores'. Rodox Video, Nova Scotia Robots, Skimming Stones, Carcan, M9 and Original Nlogax appeared on A Few Old Tunes (albeit in slightly different forms). A longer version of Chinook appears on the Aquarius single.

At 5:17, the version of Sixtyniner that appears is shorter than the version on the original Twoism release. However, when Twoism was publicly released in 2002, this 5:17 version was used instead.
As of 2011, Niagara, Red Moss, Concourse and Whitewater are exclusive to this release.
