I think it can still be picked up on boomkat and sites like that.

I'm actually really enjoying it, it absolutely shits on new album/attention please, which I really was not a big fan of. it's definitely a strange album though, I think its closest reference point would be rainbow in that it has a really psychedelic, light atmosphere. it's got these poppy songs interspersed with heavier stuff with that soaring takeshi vocal (I don't recall any wata-led tracks) and this ambient/atmospheric stuff, not drones (although canvas is very much in the same vein as their early drone doom stuff) but loop collages and stuff like that. so stylistically it's their most diverse album but it's a breeze, a really easy album to digest. by no means perfect, but a fucking great boris record nonetheless.
