Currently i only own their 'music has the right to children album'... and i would almost say i am obsessed with it! It's an amazing record... one of the best ever made. It's not even in the same league as all the other warp-artists. Boards of Canada speaks to me on a subconscious level. I listen to it every night as i fall asleep... and also many times during the day ofcourse. I can hardly imagine life without this record anymore. The dilemma is that i'm not really sure if i should also buy the beautiful place EP and/or geogaddi. Part of me wishes they would have just made this one album and then split up... one unique masterpiece. I fear that when i listen to their other albums it will somehow make the magic dissapear. There was a thread the other day about how MHTRTC contained something undefinable (magic if you will) that geogaddi lacks. What are your experiences with this? I am now still in the position that i've only heard MHTRTC and nothing else... should i keep it that way? Or doesn't it loose it's magic, even if i should find i don't like geogaddi as much? I can only make this decission once... after i've heard geogaddi there's no going back, i can't erase the experience from my memory. I'm really being serious here! BOC is very special to me, it's not like i "quite like" their album... it's one of the most important albums i've ever had the privilige of buying! So i'm seriously worried about it... everytime i listen to mhtrtc i think: "how could they possibly follow this up? It's perfect as it is!" |

You're weird. |

that's how most, including BoC themsleves felt about My Bloody Valentine and 'Loveless', of course that *was* their last album wasn't it? :-) As far as your dilemme goes, I'm not sure what to say. Geogaddi didn't diminish the first for me .. I felt it was a little inferior, but don't let our opinions sway you.. some people thought Geogaddi was the brilliant one. MHTRTC is like an entity of its own that will exist forever in its own universe.. nothing can tough it or even resemble it.. |

surrounded- im feeling the same, i dont want to make the mistake of gettting geogaddi and having it "let down" my thoughts of boards of canada. i think you should get the peel sessions disk and beautiful place e.p., the e.p. is WONDERFUL. ive listened to geogaddi and im sure i will get it, just dont want to see the lame side of boc, but then again there are some aphex twin songs, that seem do dissapoint me also but if i do get geogaddi now, im thinking that when twoism comes out it will bring back the images of proper boc ~!@#$%^&*()_+|pops in hi scores|+_)(*&^%$#@!~ g0od luck with your descision !! |

music has the right to children = yippy and yeah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd definately say stick with in a beautiful place... it's purty |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Every action is a positive action, even if it has a negative result. Get Geogaddi dude. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You will not be disappointed by Geogaddi - or any of their other releases. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree - you're a bit weird. Get Geogaddi, I like it even better than MHTRTC. That SKAM thingie is also terrific. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Think of it like this: Music has the right to children is a breakfast cereal that holds up to twenty cigarettes, inflates into a dinghy and can only be operated by a trained professional. But, Geogaddi is a robot that detects police sonar! So the moral of the story is.. MHTRTC may get you into the water, but Geogaddi is whats going to keep you from getting arrested. |
||||||||

Normally I'd suggest you stick with blissful ignorance, but in this case you'd seriously be missing out on some great music if you choose not to listen to it. If you do decide to take the risk, make sure you get the version that includes 'from one source all things depend' at the end. I personally like Boc Maxima and Geogaddi more than MHTRTC. Boc Maxima sounds like a more rough, homegrown version of MHTRTC while Geogaddi sounds like it perfected the sound of MHTRTC and took it even further. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is where people get tripped up geogaddi is made with the same formula as MHTRTC... and so people where just like "its more of the same" but if you actually listen... they are worlds apart. while MHTRTC is like a blissful dream... geogaddi is like a nightmare... but the differences are subtle and subconcious.. so on the surface, it sounds not as good... but its just because its not giving you feelings of bliss... but feelings of darkness and evil. i look at them like ying and yang |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like the dream/nightmare analogy. BoC doesn't seem complete unless you have both albums. They complement each other beautifully. I don't see why everyone puts down Geogaddi. It's an incredible album. You won't be disppointed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you're really in love with MHTRTC and can't see music as just music, you should stop there and never buy anymore BoC. it is the best release of theirs, me thinks. I love MHTRTC. hi scores is good too.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
geogaddi is ok. i think it's pretty over rated. there's just too many tracks i always want to skip past. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well I for one like A Beautiful Place and Geogaddi better the MHTRC... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not the only one! yes, finally someone who fully appreciates that ep. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
MHTRTC was (and still is) amazing when I first got it, and totally blew me away... but since, I've gotten ABPOITC and Geogaddi, and both of these albums just have a fuller and richer sound... they sound better, and have better songs... imo... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i agree on ABPOITC (weird looking abbreviation), but i still think geogaddi is weak. 'cept for 1969, that song is the best thing they've ever done. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, The Beach at Redpoint is!! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
buy geogaddi and beutiful place..... i dont see why youl wouldnt love both. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah no 1969 is boring.. its so predictable.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
twoism is my favorite, i cant wait for the re-release |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think boards is heading out of the gate strong, i say dont fear their other releases, they are ALL very distinct and very good, .... i havent heard any filler so far (the 2 albums and 2 eps i HAVE heard) cant WAIT for twoism reissue... its gonna be SICK |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i found twoism in very good quality on soulseek. 320 kbps, easily the best quality out there. if the remaster sounds better than this i'll be very happy. |

You need to get your hands on Black Dog Productions - Bytes |

Hey now, there's nothing wrong with being weird! Remember that! And thanks for all your advices people. Especially what Zeus said keeps ringing in my head... that's a really beautiful way to put it! Music... as a beautiful dream, and geogaddi a nightmare. Sort of keeping each other in balance...hm... yeah, i really like that thought! And it's made me even more curious of geogaddi. And since no-one has actually said that they regret buying geogaddi... i've made up my mind, i'm gonna buy it... for better or for worse. "Every action is a positive action, even if it has a negative result." That is so true... it's better to regret something you did, than something you didn't do :-) And all you people have convinced me enough that geogaddi is not simply a lesser version of MHTRTC, but a whole new and different kind of artwork. So even though i can't be sure i'll like it, it probably won't disturb my MHTRTC-experience :-) Thanks again, and i'll let you know what i think of it once i've heard it! And if it by does ruin my image of BOC... well... then i'll always have to live with the thought that qrtr tried to warn me about this, but i wouldn't listen ;-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and since i've never heard of black dog productions - what does that remark have to do with any of this?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because black dog's bytes influenced BoC maybe?, i was disappointed with geogaddi, sounded all wrong for me, but 'music has the' is beautiful and is their masterpiece |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You won't be disapointed... hell, I think ABPOITCountry is even better than MHTRTChildren. Song for song, anyway... of course the length pisses me off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
havent heard 'a beautiful place in the country' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Geogaddi is so much better that MHTRTC. BUT, I think it depends which you hear first. When I heard MHTRTC was much more melodically based I thought: 'Yeah!' and what happened? The melodies are just as hard to grasp, but good nonetheless. Still, Geogaddi is the fuckign daddy because it has The Beach at Redpoint, Dawn Chorus, Over the Horizon Radar, You Could Feel the Sky and A Is to B As B Is to C. Only song I don't like is Alpha and Omega, because that is pants. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i might also pick up beautiful place whilst i'm in the recordstore anyway. Otherwise i'd probably buy it later... and it would suck to make the entire voyage to a decent recordstore just to get a 4-track ep... i'll just buy 'em both at the same time :-) Thanks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you are clearly mistaken. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok i gave mhtrtc another chance the other day and i must admit there are nice tracks on it :O it's very hi scores and twoism indeed, but there are utterly boring tracks as well... and qrter, i never understood the 1969 hype either :) the whole geogaddi album is losing its touch for me since i started listening to the older stuff anyway but surrounded: beautiful place ep is excellent! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah everyone loves In A Beautiful Place, not too keen on the title track though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
MHTRTC and Geogaddi are so different from each other but both really really good. I didn't like Geogaddi as much but then I listened to it REALLY LOUD and after that day, I loved it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
boring tracks? where? :-p i hope plato leiden still stocks the beautiful place ep! It was there last time i looked, but that was already a few weeks ago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
kid for today is amazing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
At least sample a few songs from Geogaddi like Dawn Chorus, Julie and Candy or Sunshine Recorder. See if that doesn't wet your appetite. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i kind of already deceided i would just buy the album altogether (+ the ep) i like that title... dawn chorus... mm... it sounds so poetic. Even without having heard the music. However, what is that different version you talked about? With an extra song? (from one source all things depend)... i knew there was a limited edition-version of geogaddi in a digipack... but i thought the tracklists were the same? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think you should not ever listen to "Geo.." or the rest, as a kind of persoanl experiment... .....oddball! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dawn Chorus is awesome, Castanza. Geogaddi is a decent effort, but it lacks the MHTRTChildren magic... to me, anyway. But still a must have, just not a MUST must have. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now now, there's no need for namecalling. I'm sure we can resolve this is a mature way, isn't that right, Mr. Poopypants? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can't stand ya! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you know, even that post is making me more curious of the album. With every opinion i read in this thread, i get more eager to just listen to the damn thing myself :-p I'm a scorpio, so i have a natural tendency to be extremely curious ;-) That must probably be it. |

george is getting very upset! |

ahh, the George-maister. A whole lushious thread in itself |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Geogaddi,MHTRTC, Twoism, IABPOITC, peel session and the hellinterface tracks are all Masterpieces, i agree with the most of you. but, what's with the older stuff... ? they made a bunch of tracks ... it's so sad, it's impossible to find them ... |
||||||||
|

d/l them. |
