OFFICIAL 2013 REPRESS! Here's the 2006 Lab review: New companion EP from Boards Of Canada built around "Dayvan Cowboy," a dreamy standout from their Campfire Headphase album. Removed from the album and allowed to breathe, this track reinvents itself. It's quite a stunning piece, definitely worthy of the spotlight. Mush's Odd Nosdam provides the remix, an abstracted version with rock elements. In addition, to the delight of BOC fans, there are 4 new tracks. Two of those tracks "Left Side Drive" and "Skyliner" are the meaty Boards tracks we love: inventive drum programming and all that delicious etherea. Cut in between those tracks are two ambient tracks that work well to give this EP a sense of completeness. This is much better than I expected.
