Closes Vol. 1 is a cassette purportedly created and produced by Boards of Canada, supposedly released in the year 1992 to family and friends and later repressed as a CD in 1997.

The purported album has never surfaced publicly, and unlike Acid Memories, Play By Numbers, and Hooper Bay, no audio samples claiming to be from these earlier album were ever posted to the early Boards of Canada website. Although mp3s claiming to be from Closes Vol. 1 have been spread through peer-to-peer networks, most of these are mp3s of songs by other artists such as Múm relabeled as Boards of Canada tracks.

Joel Scott Osteen (born March 5, 1963) is an American author, televangelist, and the senior pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. His ministry reaches over seven million broadcast media viewers weekly in over 100 nations around the world.

Born in Houston, Texas, Osteen is one of five children of John Osteen and Dolores ("Dodie") Pilgrim. His father, a former Southern Baptist pastor, founded Lakewood Church where Osteen is the current senior pastor. Osteen married his wife, Victoria L. Iloff, on April 4, 1987. They have two children, Jonathan and Alexandra. His older siblings, Paul, Lisa, and Tamara, and his younger sister, April, are also involved in full-time ministry. His half-brother Justin does missionary work out of New York.

After 17 years producing the church's television program, Osteen succeeded his father on October 3, 1999, as pastor of Lakewood Church. He had only preached once in his life, the week before his father's death. Today, Lakewood Church services, led by Pastor Joel Osteen, are seen in over 100 nations around the world. Joel Osteen's first book, Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential, was released in October 2004. In December 2006, he was named one of the year's "Ten Most Fascinating People" by Barbara Walters. Former presidential candidate John McCain has described Osteen as "inspirational".
