The relevant paragraph:

  Quote

As mentioned in our feature on Warp’s twentieth anniversary, the label considers the design ethic of their releases to be incredibly important; a view that HudMo shares. He worked closely with a designer to achieve the striking, dayglo images on the cover of Butter, which recall classic 80s hair-metal band t-shirts: “The design for the album was done by my friend Tom, who is known as Konx-Om-Pax. He’s Glaswegian, he went to the art school here, and he’s done a lot of stuff before – videos for Boards of Canada and Jamie Lidell, and he’s also done stuff for Errors and other Scottish bands. We had a big folder of influences and stuff we wanted to incorporate. He would work a bit, then I would give him some feedback. It took quite a while. The first EP, the design came together for that in a couple of days, it was really spur of the moment. With the album, because it was much more thought out, it took much longer. It wasn’t as much of an instinctive thing, it was much more methodical. We worked it out in the end, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I think it’s the kind of thing where you either think it’s fucking horrible or you love it.”

So, what videos has he done? The only two "official" BoC videos are Dayvan Cowboy and Invocation... I looked at my Dayvan Cowboy DVD, and saw no mention of his name anywhere...

Konx-Om-Pax is also the name of an Alastair Crowley book...

Here's his video for Liddel:

I emailed him when I saw this interview and he says he's never worked with BoC. A mistake on Hudson's part, I geuss.

Well, that solves that! Good work!
