  • Summary: Boards of Canada's very first release--once limited to just 100 self-released vinyl copies in 1995--has finally been reissued on CD. (So if you've been holding on to your 12-inch to sell on eBay, tough luck.)

    Like all of Boards Of Canada's wonderful records, the whole seems to add up to far more than the sum of its parts.
  2. All Music Guide

    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.

    Anyone interested in thoughtful, moody downtempo instrumentals will definitely enjoy this. [Dec 2002, p.76]

    Just wonderful, when i listen to this i find myself somewhere in another world surrounded by this wonderful music. Every track reflects an own special emotion. Most i like the first track called sixtyniner, very melancholic and taking one back into time. This is music which is worth paying money on it, get this one as soon as you can !!!… Expand

    IMO Boards of Canada's best. Probably the ultimate album for a reflective come down. 'Melissa Juice' has the strongest pastoral feel of any piece of art I've ever come across. Most of the rest hit deep in their own way, all of it pretty druggy, with the typical Boards of Canada sound. Don't expect anything particularly new, though 'Basfree', for example, is somewhat different. 'Twoism' is my favorite track. The version of 'Smokes Quantity' has an incredible ending, some of the best stuff they've done. My favorite from my favorite group.… Expand
