Boards of Canada ::
The Campfire Headphase (Warp, CD/2LP)

"...Less like chemists in a lab than like
carpenters in a workshop, or gardeners living
amongst what they have designed, grown,
and cultivated, this album showcases Marcus
and Michael at their best, creating a soundtrack
to life in the countryside the likes of which has
not been heard before..."

"Melodic elements and percussion are melded in a way that
lends a sort of new-age irony to the work as a whole."


HA HA!! these are the kind of reviews pitchforkmedia
reviewers can point at and laugh.

95% of reviews ive read in my life are either absolutely
shite, or they dis whatever band it is, for a band to have a
crappy review in a magazine is depressing (top 40 aside)

Early in the listening process, I formulated a sort of
vision of the duo at work, in which I saw them through an
early morning haze making sounds via methods that can't
quite be articulated, a kind of stony process requiring more
intuition than knowledge, where chords are correctly placed
but aren't quite chords, and the importance of formal
training is elided by sheer talent and virtuosity.


Did they take a degree in sounding like a tosser or does it
come naturally?

The amount of cocksucking that goes on in threads like this
would embarrass the most debauched Roman orgiasts.

Woooah, back up back up " Immediately upon receipt of The
Campfire Headphase, Boards of Canada's latest opus, I got
right to work. The iPod was loaded, groceries
procured..."
The iPod??? So they didn't listen to it on
180g vinyl in a sound proof chamber? How dare they review an
mp3????? THEY'VE HEARD NOTHING!!!!!

My review: A step in the wrong direction for sure. The devil
is no longer in the details in BOC's music. I was hoping for
a more experimental album, but BOC makes their contribution
to the genre "Cappuchino Chill Out". Even my ganny can play
this record as background music, without knowing it.
Anyway.Some nice melodies makes this album fairly good, but
wtf, this IS Boards of Canada, and I expected more.

6.7 on the Pitchfork scale.
