Day 26 #FiveAlive Tomorrow sees the release of the first Boards Of Canada album in 13 years. But where should a newcomer start - create a short 5-track playlist of your favourite BOC moments.

1972

Focus on the songs she wrote herself / No songs from Chelsea Girl : Janitor of Lunacy (Desertshore, 1970) You Forget To Answer (The End..., 1974) Afraid (Desertshore, 1970) My Only Child (Desertshore, 1970) One More Chance (Drama Of Exile, 1981)

And now this…Sean’s a genius in my eyes. Probably most played album in my collection.

Beach Boys weather. Feel Flows and Cool Cool Water break through the thick atmosphere like balm on an open wound. Ended up in tears listening to the last three on Surfs Up - A Day In the Life Of A Tree, ‘Til I Die and Surfs Up. I remembered why for so many years, the BBs were my absolute fave band.

In selecting 5 Nico solo tracks for someone who has only heard The Velvet Underground’s first album, I'm focussing on early songs from on her catalogue. I'm Not Sayin' Fairest Of The Seasons I'll Keep It With Mine These Days Chelsea Girls

My National Pride (Knowledge of Beauty) This is What She’s Like Nowhere Is Home Let's Make This Precious Plan B It will change though!

#NowPlaying This album is a revelation. I know some people that think No Other is a bit overcooked (not me), but hearing the songs completely stripped back is a real treat. Sid Griffen & John Wood have done such great work on these mixes.
