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. |
||||||||

Altho Aphex twin is my favorite of all IDM, BOARD OF CANADA ARE AWESOME!!! I just discovered them last night and I've downloaded like 50 mp3s since and I can't get enough. peace |

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. |
||||||||

i just got into them last night...or a couple nights ago i dunno...they're awesome but i could only get about 5 mp3's b4 i had to leave. so w/e...i wanna get theyre new album is it expensive?? on a totally different matter, this probly sounds really stupid but, what is IDM??? |
||||||||

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. |

yah...thanks:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

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..... |
||||||||

Have BoC only done the two albums then? I have Music has the Right to Childre. How come there are so many tracks about? Do the singles have about 8 B sides? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Twois EP, ABPOITC EP, High Scores EP, BOC MAXIMA LP etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They are VERY prolific |

This is a really good one also....: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Boards_Of_Canada |

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. |

ooh man-has anyone out there got any earliely stuff they fancy burnin onto cd for us? im sure we could do some tradin'...any takers??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The "earliest official release" I have is the "Hi Scores" ep. All other stuff, released after that I have downloaded or have burned. YES, anyone who has the releases before that on cd....Please show yourself....we need your help. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
am i the only one here that don't like their new album? Or should I say, who finds Geogaddi a bit dissapointing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah Phresch you are the only one ;) What did u expect? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Really, you didn't like it? Was it anything specific that you didn't like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A doubter?..... A non-believer? We must save him!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh. dunno, i thought it was a bit too chill-out. I'll prob. give it a good listen next time. I'm confused. Go away. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
word. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its a lovely album, nice with a warm fire and your lover/cat on your knee |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. ...to the mutha. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wasnt disappointed with Geogaddi. Ive been listening to Music Is Math quite a bit today. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ps- is anyone coming to the soul weekender in caister this wknd? it promises to be fun, say hello if you can recognise me from my photo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no. dedbeat is THE place to be this weekend. bring it on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry, thats the same thing lizzard!!- you going? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry, my mistake too. i've heard it called haywire and dedbeat but not soulweekender. yep can't wait. the line up is phenomenal - are you the real GG, coz you'll be there, looking forward to seeing you (if it is you)? its at caistor is it - i thought it was in gt yarmouth. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont know... I dont really thnk it sounds over produced. Then again I cant really look at it objectively, if BoC farted in a bag I would buy it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep caister, nr gt yarmouth |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I've been listening to it all day on my headphones. It is truely the best album of the year. Its a great departure from drukqs' full on sonic rugby tackle. |
||||||||

Hey I reached 100 points on a Boards Of Canada topic..... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well done. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats sunday sorted then. heard some good reviews of your new lp, by the way, piccadilly records (manchester) reckon its ace. i'll have to buy one as soon as. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who are you global goon? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He's Chino Moreno, Im convinced! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyone thinkd about Nr.19, Dawn Chorus ? At the evening, i listen it over 10 times, i like the crying girl in the background, when the tic begin, beautiful! what does the others say in the middle of the track ? something "mary" ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah map that track is ace! I love tyhe way they speed up and slowdown the melody to change its pitch, its like wanting a piece of gum and getting the whole damn ice cream truck. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whos chino moreno? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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 ? |
