Twoism
1995 EP by Boards of Canada
Twoism is the debut EP by Scottish electronic duo Boards of Canada, released through their own Music70 label in August 1995 as a limited run of approximately 100 copies.
The EP was out of print until it was re-issued by Warp Records on November 25, 2002.
Background
The EP was initially pressed by Boards of Canada's own Music70 label on cassette and vinyl in 1995.
Before Twoism was re-pressed in 2002, it was a highly sought-after item, being pressed in an edition of approximately 100 copies. It would often be exchanged from one person to the next for up to £800 (2001) (equivalent to £1,430.23 or US$1,827.97 in 2024).
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 at his own request. According to credits from Canadian Musical Reproduction Rights Agency he only co-wrote "Melissa Juice".
Content
There are differences between "Sixtyniner" on this EP and other releases, as Boards of Canada have often re-released early songs on later, more popular releases, sometimes with changes. On the original Music70 pressing of the record, "Sixtyniner" lasted 5:40, while reissues shortened it to 5:14.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Twoism” as 1995 EP by Boards of Canada. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 1995 EP by Boards of Canada. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1951695. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1995, 2002, 2001 and 2024.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
