are Boards of Canada kind of like Autechre, or is a completely different sound? |

different in my opinion. BoC are more experimental w/ sounds. just go to cdnow.com and sample some tracks off thier album w/ windows media player. |

completely different sound its repetitive like Ae but its more soothing, like warm nostalgic synths rather than crackly beats.. Buy music has the right to children, its a fantastic album. |

Boards of canada is not more experimental than autechre or aphex or squarepusher. baords of canada is actually more accessible than autechre and most aphex, and far more accessible than squarepusher. boards of canada is basically their own twist on trip-hop, with some influence from aphex and autechre. the new promo track sounds like they are adding some tribal house type style, which is hardly new and was done to death in the early 90's. that doesnt mean it is bad thou. |

Any human being with a pulse will fall in love with boards of canada the second you hear them. these two bastards will comandeer your audio system. In fact, you might as well buy everything you can find by them now, as it will save you the trip later on. and while your at it, get cylob's cylobian sunset. makes you feel all warm inside, just like boc. |

Music is not a matter of original, experimental, technical. It is a matter of personal feeling (imo). Download some tracks and decide whether or not you like them. I love Boards of Canada. |

BOC....man its not even worth arguing about....They are on a whole different level....They are NOTHING like Autechre, Tom Or Rich..... Get anything and everything you can....steal it, dowload it, hell even if it comes to it, buy it.... |

Nah, don't buy it... the SOUNDS are what's important... you can hear what you need to hear via MP3. Save your money for a helicopter or hovercraft, that's what I'm doing! :-D |

I totally agree Ophecks....I also have not paid one penny for BOC, yet have almost all of their stuff and cannot stop listening to it.... There's no doubt, those guys rule..... |

don't you guys miss having the album artwork? also, i'm sure you realize, mp3 compression gets rid of so-called "unnecessary" sounds - so it's not true cd quality, there is distortion. personally i don't like having an encoder tell me what is and isn't important in a song. i DO notice the difference... don't you? |

Speaking of artwork, doesn´t the cover of Geogaddi and the one on the new Chemical Brothers record look an awful lot like each other? (yes they do) |

yes, i was also a bit dissapointed of the geogaddi cover... after that beautiful beautiful place ep cover (and the artwork of the vinyl is great, too), and i really hope, that the new album is as good as this ep. (if it would, it would be an incredible album). listened to excerpts from the hi scores ep. - wow. the track hi scores has the same feel (and almost same beginning) of philip glass' organic from koyaanisqatsi (a kind of an urban or suburban melancholy). beautiful. hope i will be able to get the cd somehow (because of it's artwork, and if i love some music i want it on an album, and not in mp3s). hi scores sounds a bit like the suburban equivalent to the countryside beautiful place ep. my suggestion for a first buy of boc would be the ep. in a beautiful place out in the country. it seems it is not loved by anyone, which is surprising to me - i loved it instantly. it's essential and the price of it is great. |

Titsworth- I know MP3s are lower quality... but it's not an issue with me... it sounds great regardless. I have the official Drukqs and a burned Drukqs with my fave tracks, and on headphones, I'm hard pressed to tell the difference. As long as it's not some 64 or 96kbs crap file, it sounds great. As for the artwork... I'd prefer it... but no fucking way am I shelling out 20 or more dollars for something ISN'T music. Not having pictures of Rich's nose and his brother's grave doesn't exactly make me lose sleep. :-) (just an example, matter of fact, Drukqs and the RDJA are the ONLY official IDM albums I have.) |

The cover art for Geogaddi is so great. I don't understand the disapointment. I am so sick of my mp3 quality albums! I've been buying more music lately, which is good and bad. |

digidogheadlock: I don't know how you can get more experimental than Confield. I think Confield is far more experimental than anything Boards of Canada has done; but don't get me wrong. Boards of Canada is wonderful. |

>different in my opinion. BoC are more experimental w/ sounds. That just kinda made me gasp... cause I think that Ae is more experimental in both sounds, and song structure. But BoC seem to have some strange recording technique that no one else has. |

_music_for_children_'s first chords are very analog-y and moog-y, which turned me off at first. that what you mean by 'strange recording techniques'? it wasn't until i heard songs like _an_eagle_in_your_mind_ and _telephasic_workshop_ that i really started to like the album. i would recommend it to any IDM or ambient fan, but it's definitely different from the style of the aphex twin / square pusher / autechre holy trinity. |
