Reviews
Edited one year agoI've got a first pressing copy where an A4 insert depicts two guys (no girls, peelsesh13) having a laugh in some sort of studio. Anyone else?- If you are new to BOC, just listen to the track Hi Scores. It'll synchronise your innards to the ways of the Lallans. Feel free to move on from there.
- A great selection of BOC tracks. To any new listeners, this is the release I recommend you listen to. "Everything You Do Is A Balloon" was the first track I ever hear by these guys. Amazing, haunting melodies put to a laidback acoustic drum beat.
- I thought I remembered this being a lot more valuable than $30.
- Edited 13 years ago"June 9th" rates high as an all time great piece of music.
But "Nlogax" is the secret space disco piece! A very rich EP.
"Everything You Do Is Balloon" washes you right out with lush beauty.
Tons to love from this EP. Right down to the elegant jacket concepts. - Edited 19 years ago"Nlogax" is one of my favourite Boards tracks ever, despite being a bit more up-beat than normal. Really spacey acidey techno on this track, which along with the brooding and the darkly beautiful "Everything you do is a ballon" make Hi-Scores an essential purchase.
- Timeless EP, with the last track Everything you do is a ballon being one of my all time favourite tracks, sounds really old, like music you would play after world war 11, or after a hard nights clubbing......Music to get lost inside. Had to score a copy of this on CD as well for long car journey's. Released before the label starting going pear shaped
