generalization of BoC

my friend and i have had this long agreement with each
other that Boards of Canada have the most unique sound out
of any electronic artist, simply because i haven't heard any
other act that was as chilled out with the beats vs melody
layout... seriously Plaid is the only other act that comes
close, but they have the raw vibe to em that make their
music sort of more afx'ish... Boards of Canada just can not
be called "rip-offs" of afx or ae or brian eno or whatever
the fuck else is out there... they've got their own sound
and i love it... how does a duo make such good music?

quoth is right, although i never saw the nostalgic element
that the press and fans seem to flock to in their music.

zaphod: get baked and listen to BoC in the dark with
headphones. In fact, the more fucked up your drugs get the
more insane BoC gets!

In my opinion, If it takes drugs for music to sound good, it
must suck, though music that is good usually sounds better
when your on something and music that sucks usually sounds
worse...

it's not my opinion but some magazines say they have been
influenced by autechre...anyway also afx used sounds taken
by the children(arched maid via rdj,polynomial c??)they
create a certain mood that i haven't seen in other artists
that's true...but i prefer plaid thier music is much more
complex and variegated

Duble0Syx: I hope you weren't implying that I take drugs to
enjoy music.

BoC are amazing, and are nothing like Aphex Twin, and
definitely not like Autechre... they have their own sound,
and it's a damn good one!!

the thing with boc is, imo, that they have a unique sound,
but it appears on every cd they make. it all sounds too much
alike, which is also rather nice cause it's a great sound
that they have.

lake in the north of scotland. i brought my ghetto-blaster

I agree with all of you that they have a unique sound but
with a little irony that they just are based on a big
rippoff from the board of canada naturefilms.

from track 9 onwards, you HAVE to hear every beat, sample,
synth. if u dont, you arent listening good enough.
it's like getting hit by a train, that moment you realise
just what these two guys have created.

The closest you get to BOC is Christ...

And, well, you know...

christ is a former member of boc, though. and not quite as
divine as his name implies

Yeah, I know... that was the point. The closest you get to
BOC is BOC! [or ex-BOC :/]

He wasn't a member of BOC, he was a schoolfriend who played
live with them occasionally, and was given a credit on
'Twoism' because he was playing bass and synths with them
for that period. He didn't write any of the BOC material.

Pitchforkmedia.com (a trashy indie rock review site) wrote a
remarkable little review for Geogaddi where they said the
following concerning the importance of Boards of Canada in
the genre.

“It's a bit of a stretch, but a while ago I compared
Boards of Canada's seminal Music Has the Right to Children
with Miles Davis' Kind of Blue. I wasn't saying anything
about the similarity or relative quality of the actual
music, of course; I was just making an observation about how
each album has a remarkably wide appeal that stretches
beyond fans of its respective genre, while simultaneously
carrying great weight with more experienced and discerning
listeners. Because of this dual nature, both records are
considered ideal "first purchases" for those curious about
the musical world they come from. The comparison fails in
other respects, but there's no doubting the consensus of
opinion that has formed around these records, shared among
both newcomers and schooled aesthetes.”

BTW, I know this is slightly off topic but I figured most of
you would be interested.

from what I've heard autechre introduced BoC to Skam, as
they were already signed there as Gescom.

i agree that boc style is somethig unique... it's not
conventional.. .it's unbiased but it borrows elements from
music from other times and places.

I still don't listen to them too much tho
