Boards of Canada release on geological timescales, so the deep cuts and discarded sketches accumulate quietly in places like this — a fan-assembled 55-minute set drawn from B-sides and unreleased material. Kottke surfaced it as the rare ambient-leaning mix that holds up as both work-music and something to sit with. Sustained mood, no jarring transitions; reliably the right answer to "play something."
