Boards of Chinook


I've been diving into Aphex Twin rarities mixes on YouTube over the past year, so it was inevitable I'd slide over to Boards of Canada eventually...


So to Boards of Canada - Rare Releases Mixtape, as compiled by Lilly's Domain. There's a lot of real interesting stuff here and the pick of the bunch is the spooky, slightly acid, Autechre-like workout of Chinook:


This version of Chinook is on the b-side of Aquarius, a limited release (like 500 7"s) that was the only single from Music Has the Right to Children. A shorter edit appeared on the even more limited release Boc Maxima (like 50 cassettes). So pretty rare, but pretty good.
