Twoism

mid 90's firs album from a Scottish duo - superb

Brilliant mini album worth buying for the track base free alone their most heavy aggressive music ever made plus the rest of the album very strong no bad tracks

The board of Canada are one of my favourite musicians and have been for quite a while, my favourite is this one at the moment but whatever selection they produced you can always find these elements inside of them which covers this album and all their most recent output. 1. Electronic music that actually has personality and charm 2. A semi relaxing array of musical styles focused within electronica but Wont make you want to smash any pieces of your furniture apart due to sounds that make you feel like your being brain washed and paying for the pleasure. 3. You can always tell that you are listening to boards of Canada tune after having their music your collection there are bands that sound similar but nobody does it quite the same. 4. They have a time less nature about them quite nostalgic but quite futuristic at the same time. 5. Not shy of putting in a bangie sounding tune into the albums when I say this I don’t mean its time to get your glow sticks out or anything like that but a medium paced tune that would quite happily upset your neighbours. 6. All the albums sound like they have been lovely put together with skill and attension I would place them up there with Eno with quality of ideas and sound production. Well I could go on but if you are thinking of trying something different and like more relaxed and well-produced electronica you could waste your money on other music but why waste time and money...

Excellent reissue of this early BoC release. The album cover has been reproduced exactly like the original VINYL release. Don't listen to the disappointed moaners who have only seen the CD cover. This is how the vinyl (there were only 100 copies) always looked.

this "mini album" is essential for anyone interested or has been following boc, this used to be fairly difficult to get hold of - (though not as rare as their really old stuff), so id already downloaded this off the internet before i got it. i feel the atmospheres created here are much more thick and textured than anything youll find in mhtrtc and geogaddi, while not being as complex. i found this appealing and found myself actually being drawn into the music and losing touch with the surroundings, this is the thing i like most about boc and this album highlights everything good about them. iced cooly has to be the must catchy tune ever - fsck roygbiv. distant voice samples in sixtyniner - typical boc - this is another good track. infact there isnt a single track here that i dont love. definately the easiest boc listen and most beuatiful. buy it!!

The record itself is great - plays perfectly. I was slightly disappointed with the record cover as its mostly all white with just a small image of the original cover picture in the corner.

The album cover doesn't match the original artwork. It's white label cover with a sticker on top with the image of the album. The rest it's ok.

...like me! After snapping up most of the BoC collection already and hearing the 'people bought copies of this for £780 on Ebay' hype, I jumped at the chance to get this. My initial feeling was that I was left a little cold. I was initially disappointed by this, not quite as polished as 'Music....' and having already got some of the tracks featured on their other releases (since there is some duplication with tracks on this and their later releases). I left it sitting around at home, choosing to head into 'Geogaddi' and 'Music...' once again. On dragging this out recently ... my disappointment has subsided! I now find myself in posession of tracks that compliment the bleak mood of 'Music...' well. Not the place to start if this is your first BoC purchase, but one for those who have it all. The mood is melancholic throughout, Plaid-like synths set to blunted beats (although the rumbling Basefree stands out as not your typical BoC track! Growling percussion that doesn't really make sense until the end of the track when it all comes together and you see the true genius behind it). If you just have the two BoC albums to your name so far though, and you're looking for more. Try heading for the 'A Beautiful Place In The Country' EP, 'The Peel Sessions' (purely for Happy Cycling!). For those wanting more BoC style sounds, perhaps check out Plaid's output.

Nice shipping thank you!

Boards of Canada are all about nostalgia, from the rough analog sounds of their synthesizers to the cover art design, and so it goes without saying that Twoism is a gem unto itself. This is one half hour head trip no electronica nut should be without. The album gives off a kind of duality between childhood nostalgia and chemically enhanced daydreaming like no other. A few of these tracks were later used on other releases, notably the vibrato riding "Smokes Quantity" being recycled for Music Has The Right To Children , and it's understandable; this material deserved another go-round after Twoism all but dropped off the face of the earth before being reissued in 2002. The melodies contained here are so infectious they may catch you off guard. Seemingly at random, in the midst of some mundane chore or daily routine the melody of "Sixtyniner" or "Iced Cooly" may enter your consciousness from out of nowhere. Rest assured that it's a good thing, just so long as you don't begin humming the melodies in falsetto.

Esta bien, solo aclarar que el arte, viene en una etiqueta, el folder del vinil es blanco. Si es de importacion, tengan cuidado que los de aduana lo pueden abrir y sacarle las bolsas de aire que protegen del movimiento y golpes. Desconozco si Amazon tiene alguna opcion, ademas de la garantía, para enfatizar lo delicado del producto.

Le sonorità embrionali del duo scozzese rivelano tutto il loro potenziale e la raffinatezza di cui sono capaci. L'edizione in vinile è silenziosissima, con suoni pastosi e potenti, e un forte effetto presenza. Lo consiglio assolutamente!

Fast delivery, vinyl quality is great
