"Boris Archive" is a three disc compilation of live material by Japanese band, Boris. The first disc is comprised of various live renditions of older songs and material from "Amplifier Worship" and the "Boris/Barebones" split EP. The second disc is three drumless drone songs. The third disc is a live set consisting of the 65-minute "Absolutego" and the 70-minute "Flood" played back-to-back in 37 minutes. Altogether, 600 copies of each disc were pressed with the intention of being sold individually, however due to strong demand for all three, a set comprising of an obi-style horizontal slipcase enclosing the three discs was created and limited to 320 copies.
