Remastered re-release of an early, limited Boards Of Canada release, this nine track mini album is available on CD for the first time, seven years after its original vinyl only release. Track nine '1986 Summer Fire' is unlisted on artwork. Includes Boards Of Canada sticker. Digipak. Warp. 2002.

Originally released as an LP on Music70 (board1), 1995.
Recording information: Hexagon Sun (1995).
Initially limited to 100 copies on Boards of Canada's own Music70 label, 1995's Twoism EP set a high standard for future BoC output -- though only the few willing to pay silly money for it were able to hear for themselves until Warp quietly reissued it on CD at the tail end of 2002. For those trying to compare it to the full-length debut (Music Has the Right to Children), it holds up surprisingly well (granted, two tracks here were only slightly reworked for later release). Excepting only the rigid drum monster "Basefree" (which sounds a bit like Aphex Twin circa 1992), Twoism features the same exquisitely spooky, textured emotronica that fans will want to hear, all at as high a level as the brilliant Music Has the Right to Children to boot. ~ John Bush

Q (1/03, p.130) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Almost-mythical....A collection of head-nodding trip-hop doodles and shuffling breakbeats..."
Uncut (12/02, p.158) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...The importance of such a fabled mini album remains incalculable..."
CMJ (12/02, p.50) - "...A rarified kind of soothing electronic music--call it mythical dream-hop for toddlers...

5 stars beautiful
there is so much here to cherish, the way they make music is not just original, it is revolutionary.

4 stars Minimal and Beutiful
Most the E.P. is a little like the minimalistic style you'll hear In A Beutiful Place Out In The Country. However, you must realize that this ep is much older, it does offer a wonderful glimpse into the sound that would eventually evolve to become the BOC we know now. From the simple haunting melodies of Sixtyniner to the lush, childish, synthpop of Iced Cooley to the rad minamal hip-hoppish basslines of See Ya Later to the passive cooing of Mellisa Juice, this E.P. will bring the out the child in anyone who adores the idealism of 70's and 80's Sesame Street or perhaps the simplistic tones behing the lushest of scenery in a nature documentary and that is where BOC will touch your heart. This E.P has also added 1986 Summer Fire to the tracklisting which proves in my oppinion to be a great closing for the e.p. as the girls voice slowly drifts throught the inner depths of you mind's auditory sensors, leaving you breathless...... Garunteed you will hit the repeat button on your cd player for this one.......

The Corrs: Jim Corr (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Sharon Corr (vocals, violin); Andrea Corr (vocals, tin whistle); Caroline Corr (vocals, drums, bodhran, percussion).
Recorded at Ardmore Studios in Dublin, Ireland in January 2002.
You knew the Corrs had made it when they played the final JFK Awards ceremony of the Clinton administration. Playing it would have been achievement enough, but their status as a happening thing was cemented at the end of the ceremony, during the encores, when everybody was taking their final bows. Bill moseyed up over to Andrea, put his arm around her, and when she was looking away, sized her up -- at precisely the same moment Chuck Berry was checking her out. If that doesn't ...

Highly anticipated new album features 23 tracks. Warp Records. Boards Of Canada: Marcus Eoin, Michael Sandison.
Recording information: Hexagon Sun.
Photographers: Marcus Eoin; Michael Sandison.
Geogaddi, the most anticipated sophomore full-length from an IDM act since Aphex Twin's SAW 2 in 1994, certainly looks and feels similar to the 1998 Boards of Canada debut, Music Has the Right to Children. The package design includes artful, bleached-out photos of children playing, ...

"()" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Awards for Best Alternative Music Album and for Best Recording Package.
Set the controls for the heart of the sun: Sigur Rós had another baby and they named it ( ). It's just as excessive in length as its elder siblings, it's just as precious and almost as over-the-top sounding, and it's artfully packaged with next to no information provided -- no photo collage from the triumphant world tour, no acknowledgments of the supportive Reykjavik massive. No track titles are present, either -- the band has made them known, but obviously not through the traditional route. ...

Petra Haden Sings: The Who Sell Out CD  (2005)

Twoism
CD $13.89  2.5 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
Live Recording Personnel: Petra Haden (vocals).
So many times the title of an album is peripheral to what the contents actually hold. In the case of Petra Haden Sings: The Who Sell Out it is perfectly descriptive because, yes, Petra Haden does sing the Who's Who Sell Out album right down to the make-believe ads that link the songs. Not just the vocals but all the instruments too. Working from a suggestion from Mike Watt (who may or may not have remembered the Who's own foray into singing instrumental parts on "A Quick One, While He's Away" when they had to sing "cello, cello, cello" because they couldn't afford to hire the real thing), Haden spent time during the span of three years (2000-2003) re-creating the sound of the Who's pop-art masterpiece using her voice and an old eight-track recorder. The results are pretty amazing. Apart from an occasional rhythmic stumble and the tendency for the drum sounds to sound like synsonic drums, she really nails the layered, flowing and psychedelic in the true sense of the word feel of the original album. She pulls off the feat of being reverent to the original material while also sounding completely out on a limb artistically. Never trying to ...
