Music70
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Music70 is a record label run by Boards of Canada. Boards of Canada used Music70 as a front to release many of their very early works. These albums were mostly distributed among friends and relatives and are, therefore, extremely rare. Also, Music70 was the record label Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin were producing their material on when they first adopted the name Boards of Canada. The name, taken from the National Film Board of Canada, was to be used as an EP title but was quickly switched to their official name.
It has released only Boards of Canada's music, which is believed to be only the works of Marcus Eoin and Michael Sandison, who front the band. The label's web site currently acts as an information and news source for Boards of Canada.
Incidentally, 70 is the smallest weird number; a track on their Geogaddi release is titled "The Smallest Weird Number."
"Music70 makes short films and creates images, paintings and other art. It's done purely for ourselves and our friends, and it has no commercial aims at all. Most Music70 work is like D.I.Y., but it's always emotional."
