When I want to chill out with the bros (but most times by myself), I always recline into some Boards Of Canada. Sometimes I drive to BoC - it’s great. Some of BoC's best material, the Twoism 12" is basically your classic downtempo ambient electronic EP with subtle wibble wobble wind instrument effect on the synth and classic hip-hop beat. It has its light and dark sides, but all in all it’s ambient chillout with some interesting sounds. “Basefree” would have to be the most interesting song of the album. It’s the only one without the familiar characteristics of the other songs. It’s definitely a dark, isolated, and solemn piece composed with a repeating scratchy, similar to Aphex Twin techno beat. The beat also pauses in the middle and changes up. This song might be the only song in your way of taking a nap, haha. My favorite song on the album would have to be “Melissa Juice”. So juicy. Tangy.
