Boards of Canada - Hi Scores (Vinyl 12" Gatefold)
12" • Gatefold Sleeve • Four 12" Prints • 30th Anniversary Edition
‘Hi Scores’ opens on a heavy, slowed-down break and a synth line that wobbles like old tape. ‘Turquoise Hexagon Sun’ is the one people come back for, a slow rolling beat under a melody that sags in and out of tune. The middle stretch gets murkier and lower. Six tracks, and not a hard edge anywhere. ‘Everything You Do Is A Balloon’ is the longest piece here, a warm melody left to drift. Warm, worn and out of focus.

About the album.
Hi Scores is a six-track electronic EP from Boards of Canada, first released on Skam Records in 1996 and the Scottish duo’s first widely available release. It captures the sound that would come to define them on Warp: slow hip hop breaks, detuned synths and a hazy, half-remembered ambient warmth.
Its best known pieces, ‘Turquoise Hexagon Sun’ and ‘Everything You Do Is A Balloon’, remain among the most enduring tracks in their catalogue. ‘Turquoise Hexagon Sun’ reappeared two years later on Music Has the Right to Children.
This 30th anniversary edition is the first time Hi Scores has been on vinyl since 2014. It also makes the full Boards of Canada catalogue widely available on vinyl at the same time for the first time. It comes in a new gatefold 12" sleeve with four 12" × 12" prints, on black vinyl in a polylined inner sleeve.
The reissue follows Inferno, released in May 2026, the duo’s first new album since Tomorrow’s Harvest in 2013.
If Hi Scores is your way in, Music Has the Right to Children is the natural next step.
