album of the issue: boards of canada geogaddi (warp) "self-plagiarism is style." - alfred hitchcock "yellow!" - boards of canada, 'alpha & omega' the seemingly endless parade of boc-wannabes that have surfaced since 1998's landmark music has the right to children have obviously left us all clamoring for the real thing. as such, (and with the possible exception of drukqs duly noted) it's not unreasonable to suggest that geogaddi is the most highly-anticipated electronic record of all time. does it live up to the promise? depends. whether or not you consider this 65-minute stunner a success will largely depend on what you might've been expecting from geogaddi. the harsh truth is that no track here will immediately sound as utterly mind-bending as, say, 'aquarius' or 'roygbiv' might have on first blush, but that is merely a crime of context. if you find this record disappointing, it will only be because you've tasted this recipe (children's voices, seaside washes, analog basslines) once before. and make no mistake about it: with its mangled samples, filtered synths and somnolent interludes, geogaddi is undeniably cut from the same cloth as its predecessor. fortunately, there's enough genius and innovation here to warrant the wait. 'music is math' delivers a typically clever chord progression before yielding to some mulched-up beats and an eerie vocoded coda; 'julie and candy' morphs instantaneously from a carnivalesque dream piece to a psychedelic stomper; the brilliant '1969' braids about six ideas into one track, culminating in a torrid bliss of some analog whirlygigging, a young girl's atonal refrain and the best exhortation this side of "yeah... that's right!" - "1969 in the sunshine." we could go on from there, but in the interest of brevity... suffiice to say that there are many treasures to be gleaned from this glorious record. much like in a beautiful place out in the country, geogaddi yields its most substantial rewards after lengthy consideration. that m |

hmm. im not going to read all that, but i might have a listen to those "BOC" guys. |

part two:that means it'll take at least five full listens for this record to properly seep in; once it does, it'll co-exist with your subconscious in that same, curious way that boards of canada records tend to do. and you'll love it. until then, go easy on them; they clearly know what they're doing.

|
|

|

Ah, someone told me that Bola was Boards of Canada... hmm, Bola is dope anyway! |
||||||||
|
|

Yeah I agree, Boards are the greatest! Twoism, and Boc Maxima (put togheter on one CD) was my summer theme in 2001 :) BOC are so nostalgic it aint even funny ;) I heard Arovanes Tides album......I liked it but some tracks was just straight BOC rips. Geogaddi is my fav album at the moment. |

I think one of BOCs strength is the longevity of their releases, its just so hard to get tired of their albums. They just grow and grow and grow...... I mean I got MHTRTC in 98 and I just cant get enought of it. |

Yeah...."Music has the right...." still is in constant rotation. |

"They want their music to be listenable, to be a pleasurable experience, but one in which, if you choose to delve deeper, the rewards are there to be had." |

From a BOC interview - "For us the aim is to try and make something that you like instantly, but the important thing is actually the hidden mystery hypnotism that happens after ten listens." |

"Its almost like bait," Sandison joins in. "You disguise a track as a nice big juicy worm, and then put a hook inside it! There is almost a critical point, a threshold, and if you get past that, then you are going to be completely immersed in what we are doing musically. We always assume that the listener is the most intelligent person imaginable. If you always think like that, you never insult the listener, and someone wanting to analyse what we do will always get something out of it." :) |
