No one can beat these guys, they have been my favorite for ages, but ive considered Autechre and some other people to be "better" even though I dont like them as much. All that has changed, Boards of Canada now live in my mind as the greatest musical artists of all time. I am so impressed with Geogaddi the hair on my arms is standing up and has been since I waited outside the recordstore first thing this AM. Archrival you are right, this album is... I cant even describe it. Whoa.

just discovered them last night? nice timing mate, you at least didnt have ot wait 4 years while those lazy bastards made their new album :) It was worth every month though, holy cow was it ever. I have never had such high expectations for a release and been so completely overwhelmed by its SHEER AWESOMENESS.

IDM=Intellegent Dance Music
The name given for a genre including Autechre, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, etc... you got the point.
I beleive the press made up IDM to discribe what kind of music these atrists make.

Yeah!!! Taoist, I totally agree with that.
I had absurd expectations for this release, and what can I say.......THEY DID IT, the perfect album! Not one filler imo. This is my type of album, nice beats and nice melancholy melodies.
And all the subliminal stuff just makes geogaddi better :)

You guys are ALL sooooo right on. I was really holding up some high expectations for Geogaddi, and hell, BOC surpassed ALL of them....
Now that the new info has been posted, I can easily say that YES, this IS the album of 2002.
A new day is rising and the only ones who see it know of Geogaddi.....

Geogaddi is mind blowing. I, like everone else, had really high expectations and BoC gave me more that I hoped for. It's got amazing beats, melodies and depth. I only hope Ae's next release will be as great as this. That would make my year.

I cant believe how good 1969 is, and the 2nd. 3rd, and 4th songs are awesome as well (dont knOW titles, dont have case with me) This albun is interesting, its liek their old sound that we all love, but theres something different... ZI dont knwo if its because the production is so much better or what, it sounds far mroe "lush" then their earlier stuff. A truly fantastic addition to the BoC catalogue!

yeah, but theres no stand out track like on Music.., alpha and omega is great but its not aquarius. don't get me wrong though its a great album just not quite as good as i would have liked.
one thing that annoys me though is that it seems that the journos here are all creaming about it becuase they think they should and because slagging it off would be sacrilege.

I dont know man, I think 1969 is pretty damn stand out. I havent read any reviews yet, but I think any praise these guys get is totally warranted. When I first heard MHTRTC I hated it, (what was I thinking?) maybe it jsut has to grow in you a little more.

yep, agree, they are musical geniuses, but you can spend too long on an album and overproduce it which is what i think they have done a tad. quite unlike the prolific rdj.

it reminds a bit on Smokes Quantity. Jamie and... (can't remember the track) has a very interesting melody, i get cold, just when i think at the melody. BoC let's me think about things i never believed, cuz, it's like you will be born, really born :) the most ppl's of this planet can't see the diffrence, i dunno, have the ears for the real electronic ambient or whatever music ?
