Twoism was an album released by Boards of Canada on their own Music70 record label in 1995. It was a self-financed cassette and record distributed privately. Major public releases would not happen until 1996's Hi Scores EP on Skam Records. This album was, however, the work which got them noticed by Skam Records. In 2002, this album was reissued on vinyl and CD by Warp Records.
There are differences between Sixtyniner on this album and other releases. Boards of Canada have often re-released early songs on later, more popular releases, sometimes with changes. Note that "Smokes Quantity" has the hidden track "1986 Summer Fire" at the end.
Before Twoism was re-pressed years later, it was a highly sought-after item, being pressed only about 100 times. It would often be exchanged from one person to the next for around £800 (US$1500).[1]
Twoism is the only widely-available Boards of Canada release with early third member Chris Horne, who was credited (as Chris H.) on the original release. However, his name was omitted on the 2002 Warp re-released version, making the nature and extent of his contributions unclear.
