BOC really are a class act

I have to say they really are a class act. They level of
tunes and quality of notes really does surpase so much else.
They really are top of the tree. No one really makes music
as strong and as consistently as they do. And there music is
always serious very little goofing around. If you want
serious arse killer atmospheric good vibe trax they hit the
spot.

Boards of Canada are excellent. They have created a totally
unique sound, using snippets of old classical elements, Tv
programs, childlike imagery, Ice cream vans, sounds of
animals and trees, the willowing wisp of a wind that makes
up the synths. They make beautiful timeless music. And I say
this without any pretension at all. This is really what i
think.

they are very good, but also quite repetitive.

BOC are almost God-like. musically.

The best music (for me) has always been the stuff that you
can listen too in the most troubling, sick, awful times and
not want to turn it off. Most afx,ae,µ-ziq,sqpusher I cant
stand when I'm in a picky mood, but BOC always outlasts them
all. So does Gridlock's album Trace. I'm so confusing when I
write... I 'm going to get high now.

They seem to have that power to mutate to fit whatever mood
you are in, that why i have been listening to them so much
recently.

They've been a shining beacon of musical satisfaction for me
for years. Somehow, they produce great music without
SOUNDING produced...

Future "IDM" artists would do well to learn their lessons...

I love them... they're one of my favorite groups, and them
and Autechre are definitely my two favorite electronic
groups...

actually they're probably better then autechre imo, cause I
can always listen to BoC and enjoy it... Autechre I usually
have to be in a certain mood for a lot of their stuff...

all their tunes are really top quality, but it seems like
they have been doing the same things for so long that i have
lost a little respect for them.

to me it seems like if you rated their albums or tracks on a
scale from 0 to 10 and aranged them in a line it would be
like:

9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9

really consistant quality, and with other artist like afx or
autechre the number would be really scattered about and
probably just a little lower on average, but every so often
you get a 10 that is just amazing:

8 7 9 7 7 8 6 10 9 8

haha that probably made absolutely no sense at all! well
thats just how i see it or something.

Richie J takes a lot of chances and shoots for the moon a
lot, so he's gonna get more misses... BOC, they set out to
do pretty much the same thing every album. But yeah, they're
pretty consistent... no Smojphaces in their catalog, to be
sure.

I prefer AFX and AE in terms of the ''Big 4'' or 5 or 6 or
whatever we're up to now. We giveth and we taketh away.
