All Tomorrow's Parties (music Festival)
All Tomorrow's Parties was an organisation based in London that promoted music festivals, concerts and records throughout the world for over ten years. It was founded by Barry Hogan in 2001 in preparation for the first All Tomorrow's Parties Festival, the line-up of which was picked by Mogwai and took place at Pontins, Camber Sands, England. Named after the song "All Tomorrow's Parties" by the Velvet Underground, the festival exhibited a tendency towards post-rock, indie rock, avant-garde music, and underground hip hop, along with more traditional rock fare presented in smaller venues than typical stadium performances. It was at first a sponsorship-free festival where the organisers and artists stay in the same accommodation as the fans. It claimed to set itself apart from festivals like Reading or Glastonbury by staying intimate, non-corporate and fan-friendly. Another difference was the line-ups being chosen by significant bands or artists, resulting in unorthodox events wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Live @ Warp10'' is a collection of songs recorded during the performance of Scottish electronic music duo Boards of Canada at the Warp Records 10th anniversary party. The performance took place at the Chainstore, Trinity Buoy Wharf, London. The WARP 10th birthday live performances were broadcast live on the internet by Gaia Live (''gaialive.com'') and produced on location by Tim Read.

It was originally released on 11 January 1999 as a 12" and CD by Warp Records, with catalogue numbers WAP114 and WAP114CD, respectively. The music was written & produced at the band's Hexagon Sun studio in June 1998.

As with all Peel sessions, four tracks were recorded for it. One of the four, "XYZ", was not included on the 1999 release due to sample licensing issues.

Tomorrow's Harvest
''Tomorrow's Harvest'' is the fourth studio album by Scottish electronic music duo Boards of Canada, released on 10 June 2013 by Warp. The duo began composing and recording the album following the release of ''The Campfire Headphase'' in 2005 and the expansion of their studio at Hexagon Sun near the Pentland Hills. They continued recording intermittently until late 2012, when large parts of the album were recorded. Influenced by film soundtracks from the 1970s and 1980s, ''Tomorrow's Harvest'' features a more menacing and foreboding tone than the duo’s previous works, highlighting themes of isolation and decay. ''Tomorrow's Harvest''s announcement was surrounded by a cryptic marketing campaign that began on Record Store Day 2013, with the release of an unannounced non-album single that featured part of an unidentified code. A further five codes were released interim through various media and culminated in users gaining access to a new website containing information about the upc ...

The Campfire Headphase
''The Campfire Headphase'' is the third studio album by Boards of Canada. Released by Warp Records in October 2005, the album featured the addition of more organic musical elements, including heavily treated acoustic guitars and more conventional song structures. It received generally positive reviews from critics, and reached number 41 on the UK albums chart. Background The duo began recording sketches for the album as early as 2002, but did not work on the project in earnest until 2004. According to Michael Sandison, in comparison to their previous releases they aimed to "simultaneously shift and reduce the sound palette, making it more like a conventional band gone over the edge." This resulted in the presence of fewer sample (music), samples, vocals, and cryptic references in favor of organic instrumentation. Regarding their process, Sandison stated that: We usually imagine our music to have a visual element while we're writing it, so we were picturing this character losing h ...

Geogaddi
''Geogaddi'' is the second studio album by Scottish electronic music duo Boards of Canada. It was released on 13 February 2002 in Japan, then five days later in Europe, by Warp. The album is aesthetically and stylistically darker than the approach established on their previous studio album ''Music Has the Right to Children'' (1998), and it has subsequently been praised as a standout album in the duo's discography. ''Geogaddi'' reached number 21 on the UK album charts and received critical acclaim upon release, in addition to being acclaimed by several publications as one of the year's best albums.
