This release is an unofficial bootleg vinyl repress of four obscure Boards of Canada tracks, three of which were recorded under the name "Hell Interface". Essentially it's an unofficial compilation of some rare BoC tracks cut to vinyl. As such, the origins of this record are obscure. Like most bootleg records the mastering is a bit lacking when compared to the original pressings (though it still sounds far better than the MP3s floating around on the Internet).

The Hell Interface tracks are themselves bootleg remixes of Trapped by Colonel Abrams and Midas Touch by Midnight Star. Korona is an original BoC composition.

When this record was released there was speculation that the tracks were in fact MP3s that had been remastered and pressed to vinyl. This was never proven.

This admittedly isn't the greatest manufacture ever (the labels are on the wrong sides/a ropey print), but I would have to say nor is it a SHOCKINGLY BAD pressing. It's a good loud cut, and sounds WAAAY better than any mp3 I have ever heard of these tracks. I'm not an advocate of counterfeits per se, but it does bother me when self-righteous bootleg-haters are so quick to disregard a record that for most is very much (bearing in mind these tracks are rare as hell and unlikely to ever be re-released) worth owning.

Shockingly bad US pressing of four very rare BOC tracks, three of which taken from the ultra obscure MASK series.
The tracks are cut from MP3s and really offer no justice to the slick production techniques used by Sandison and Sandison on these wicked tracks.
So in short a lazy bootleg, with the labels printed on the wrong sides. But great music nonetheless.
