[MUSIC] Boards of Canada - 24bit Vinyl Rips (1995-2013) (Electronic/Ambient/Downtempo) [FLAC, 6.65GB] | Megalinks MegaDB [MUSIC] Boards of Canada - 24bit Vinyl Rips (1995-2013) (Electronic/Ambient/Downtempo) [FLAC, 6.65GB]

Spooky electronic sounds and textures from the incomparable Scottish duo. Lots of vintage synths, rundown VHS-style warbling, hip-hop beats, and paranoia. I don't listen to these guys all the time, but sometimes they are the only thing that I want to hear. This is music that will get under your skin, if you let it. Best enjoyed with headphones, but also great while driving alone late at night.

Near complete discography of vinyl releases in high quality 24bit recording (most at 24/96, but some are 24/48). There are a couple of official releases missing, but all full length albums are here as well as most EPs. I can also upload a more complete FLAC discography that is sourced from CD.

Contents:

1995 - Twoism (2002 remastered reissue)
1996 - Hi Scores 12" EP (2002 repress)
1998 - Aquarius 7" single
1998 - Music Has the Right to Children LP
2000 - In A Beautiful Place Out In the Country EP
2002 - Geogaddi LP
2005 - The Campfire Headphase LP
2013 - Tomorrow's Harvest LP

All artwork is included as well. Text files for each release including source & lineage included, if known (not my rips, I just pass along what I've been blessed to find).

One of the best ambient groups

Agree. If you like BoC give TRS-80 a go.

I was going to comment that the last track of Geogaddi is missing but then discovered that it is "one minute and forty-six seconds of pure silence".

Anyway, I really appreciate the upload!

Haha, yes they did that so that the album length would be 66:06!

I'm actually bummed that the total size of this post was 6.65 | Megalinks MegaDB 5GB instead of 6.66 - just barely missed it!

Oh, I will, my friend, thank you very much!

Just last week I got the confirmation to DJ on the Chill Floor at two psychedelic festivals. Guess which band just received a prime spot into the setlist.

May I ask how you recorded that? I have a setup to digitize, just running from USB to Audacity, I feel that's pedestrian.

Also, thanks!

Almost all of my uploads were ripped by others, I do not have a decent enough setup to rip vinyl right now (cheapass turntable). But most of the album folders in this post contain a text file that lists the lineage and any programs used.

Awesome post! Thanks! Do you happen to know which are 96kHz and 48kHz?

[-] CounterintuitiveBody | 2 points | Jan 11 2018 16:21:43

A know for sure that the Aquarius 7" is 48khz, but I'm pretty sure the rest are 96khz.

amazing and unique music these guys made. I first heard them in a independent music shop on Hatton Gardens in London. I walked in to just browse, and they were playing the Geogaddi album. i'd only taken a dozen steps into the shop and then had to go straight to the counter and ask "what IS this that you're playing?" and bought it straight away. Over the years I've gotten the rest and they're all amazing! If you haven't heard them before, give them a listen. It might not be for you, but if do like the ambient style, you won't regret it
