Twoism is the debut EP by Scottish electronic duo Boards of Canada, released through their own Music70 label in August 1995 as a limited run of approximately 100 copies.
Andy Beta of Pitchfork describes how the EP features prescient, beanie-nodding beats and highlights the complexity of certain tracks like "Basefree," with a surging bass throb and intense hyper-beat.
[3] AllMusic said of the reissue, "Excepting only the rigid drum monster "Basefree" (which sounds a bit like Aphex Twin circa 1992), Twoism features the same exquisitely spooky, textured emotronica that fans will want to hear, all at as high a level as the brilliant Music Has the Right to Children to boot.
"[1] Benjamin Bland writing for Drowned in Sound describes the EP as a charming and youthful record consisting of eight tracks of ambient techno, showcasing the band's early musical vision.
Noting how the EP is seen as a sonically incomplete yet fascinating glimpse into Boards of Canada's early style, shedding light on their musical evolution over time.
