a ripoff of Boards of Canada's "Roygbiv"

so CH, would you believe that back in the early 00s some kid was doing a high school project and somehow up and contacted/e-mailed BOC (prolly through music70) like "hey i want to use roygbiv for this project but it's not long enough do you have an extended version?" and they responjded like "sure" and gave him this and their whole legacy continued.

Holy shit, 3:33! I wish this made the album, would've taken a 10/10 album to a 10.5/10. Thanks for making me aware of this!

Off the top of my head, here are some album of the albums that I really couldn't wait for:

Uncle Tupelo, Anodyne (awesome)
New Pornographers, Electric Version (very good)
Rancid, Life Won't Wait (very good)
Son Volt, Straightaways (disappointing)
Midnight Oil, Blue Sky Mining (disappointing but good)
INXS, Kick (mediocre)

It really is a good album. Way too rare that albums are as good as anticipated these days.

Agreed. Especially a sophomore album with weighty expectations like this.

i like that it's a challenge in some respects, not to dredge up The Knife, but Shaking the Habitual was like that...a 90 minute or so album with some difficult sections....but those are the kind of albums that reward you in the end as you might notice something on the 104th listen that you never heard before . constantly unfolding, and requires your complete attention

Well said

have you ever heard of hell interface? that's BOC's alter ego when they do remixes like this one. one day at a record store i was like "WTF???" when i saw a little whitelabel record for $4 called BOARDS OF CANADA UNRELEASED TRAX and it was all of the hell interface tracks (midas touch, trapped, korona, and uhhh old colonel abrams trapped off of a few old tunes) on one 12" for 3.99. fuck yeah!

looking it up on discogs it seems like "someone" just up and slapped some mp3s to vinyl and that was bootleg as shit, but still, having all the hell interface stuff on one slab of vinyl = my [can't say that] territory!

Btw we used to fuck with BOC good on the watmm days. Someone made up a shoop for "Musicians have the right to little children" and claimed alongside their whole LOL WE'RE A CULT [branch Davidian / heavens gate samples like in "in a beautiful place out in the country"] that they were pedophiles.

This pissed them off so much they contacted the gut who ran watmm and got a moderator-level account called "cob" pretty much just to go around and delete things said about them that they didn't like.

Can't be arsed, huh?

I agree with SD - SunVolt Straightaways is great. Love it.

Not sure how anybody with a pulse says "Kick" is mediocre. I get it, it's outdated and overplayed, but holy crap that thing was great back in the day.

You guys must be a few years older than I thought. I was 7 when Kick came out.

I love it to this day though.

Straightaways was my first and last exposure to Sun Volt. Did nothing for me.

Son Volt is tricky. Like I know I've said before, Jay Farrar's voice and lyrics have this funny way of going in one ear and out the other if you're not really engaged with the music. A song on, say, Summerteeth will grab you no matter what you're doing. Here, you have to be locked in, but if you are, it's terrific.
