my friend and i have had this long agreement with each other that Boards of Canada have the most unique sound out of any electronic artist, simply because i haven't heard any other act that was as chilled out with the beats vs melody layout... seriously Plaid is the only other act that comes close, but they have the raw vibe to em that make their music sort of more afx'ish... Boards of Canada just can not be called "rip-offs" of afx or ae or brian eno or whatever the fuck else is out there... they've got their own sound and i love it... how does a duo make such good music? |

BoC have a unique sound... |

sick but quoth you're absolutely right |
||||||||
|

quoth is right, although i never saw the nostalgic element that the press and fans seem to flock to in their music. |
||||||||

zaphod: get baked and listen to BoC in the dark with headphones. In fact, the more fucked up your drugs get the more insane BoC gets! |

In my opinion, If it takes drugs for music to sound good, it must suck, though music that is good usually sounds better when your on something and music that sucks usually sounds worse... |

it's not my opinion but some magazines say they have been influenced by autechre...anyway also afx used sounds taken by the children(arched maid via rdj,polynomial c??)they create a certain mood that i haven't seen in other artists that's true...but i prefer plaid thier music is much more complex and variegated |

Duble0Syx: I hope you weren't implying that I take drugs to enjoy music. |

BoC are amazing, and are nothing like Aphex Twin, and definitely not like Autechre... they have their own sound, and it's a damn good one!! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Well said |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the thing with boc is, imo, that they have a unique sound, but it appears on every cd they make. it all sounds too much alike, which is also rather nice cause it's a great sound that they have. |

i recently went camping with a few friends to this remote lake in the north of scotland. i brought my ghetto-blaster and "MHTRTC". wow. that's what that shit was built for. |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|
definetly agree, Eagle in your Mind is the best campfire track ever imo |
||||||||
|
|

I agree with all of you that they have a unique sound but with a little irony that they just are based on a big rippoff from the board of canada naturefilms. |

from track 9 onwards, you HAVE to hear every beat, sample, synth. if u dont, you arent listening good enough. it's like getting hit by a train, that moment you realise just what these two guys have created. |

The closest you get to BOC is Christ... And, well, you know... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
christ is a former member of boc, though. and not quite as divine as his name implies |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I know... that was the point. The closest you get to BOC is BOC! [or ex-BOC :/] |

He wasn't a member of BOC, he was a schoolfriend who played live with them occasionally, and was given a credit on 'Twoism' because he was playing bass and synths with them for that period. He didn't write any of the BOC material. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he sure was influenced by them |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yes |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

yep |

Pitchforkmedia.com (a trashy indie rock review site) wrote a remarkable little review for Geogaddi where they said the following concerning the importance of Boards of Canada in the genre. “It's a bit of a stretch, but a while ago I compared Boards of Canada's seminal Music Has the Right to Children with Miles Davis' Kind of Blue. I wasn't saying anything about the similarity or relative quality of the actual music, of course; I was just making an observation about how each album has a remarkably wide appeal that stretches beyond fans of its respective genre, while simultaneously carrying great weight with more experienced and discerning listeners. Because of this dual nature, both records are considered ideal "first purchases" for those curious about the musical world they come from. The comparison fails in other respects, but there's no doubting the consensus of opinion that has formed around these records, shared among both newcomers and schooled aesthetes.” BTW, I know this is slightly off topic but I figured most of you would be interested. .amg |

sound nice!!! i would like to have a same experience like you have. now it's my goal.. |

|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
if i have a opportunity to going trave around the world , i probably bring BOC whole track . and i will listen to boc beautiful music at place where no one is there. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
from what I've heard autechre introduced BoC to Skam, as they were already signed there as Gescom. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah...and as they own the label... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree that boc style is somethig unique... it's not conventional.. .it's unbiased but it borrows elements from music from other times and places. I still don't listen to them too much tho |
