i like it less than mhrtc, but i must admit that if it was released by more anonymous pair of bedroom producers, people would coo and purr over it. it just had titanic expectations invested in it.

i agree with 'happy cycling'. i'd say it's not up to BOC's best, but if it was released by an unknown band it would be raved about.
in fact, i'd go one step further, and (controversially) state that if Aphex had released Geogaddi instead of the collection of tuneless snares and clicks that is Drukqs, everyone wouldv'e gone on about how great it was and how much genius was in the music.
i don't know why Rephlex thought Warp were ecplising Global Goon's album with hype. if anything there's a lack of info about BOC releases. maybe Global Goon's album was eclipsed because it was simply not very memorable.

Although not a follower of hseroK divaD, she's a devoted Branch Davidian.
Still one of the best damn Boards of Canada songs.
Also Gyroscope.

warp weren't eclipsing vatican nitez on purpose off course, the problem was that because of the hype no one was interested in vatican nitez and it didn't got the reception it could have...
has stated before in this thread, if it was really the best album to buy that year it would have sold itself out all alone, BoC was already in everyone mouth at the time, they didn't need all that hype IMO.

"aphex hates geogaddy" - that's rubbish. he tried to sign Boards to Rephlex, but Warp got there first.

that probably just goes to show that some Boards material has set such a high standard that some of the rest of it doesn't live up to it! but as someone said above, if it was released by some other unkown band it would get loads of credit. i agree that BOC Maxima is brilliant.

music70 is run by them, so all their stuff is co-licensed to warp.

i liked geogaddi a lot, personally. i think BoC are a bit overhyped, but that's only because i don't think a lot of people will 'get' their music. i 'get' it, and i don't think i've heard anything from them that i've disliked.
