Boards Of Canada

[carv]

WOW Boards of Canada is unique and so interesting, so different from everything else in electronic music right now (not that other stuff is bad, Arovane, Autechre, Chris Clark, M83, 65 Days of Static all rockin it ;) ) Listening to Geogaddi for the first time was like the 1st time I ever heard Gong or Saeglopur by Sigur Ros...

 

There is suuuuch depth in the music, it's mesmerizing. It is a lot slower than a lot of electronic music, but it's "moving with the speed and power of flowing glaciers"

 

 

wow, chills down the spine constantly

It all carries such pervasive themes, childrens innocence, paranoia, natural math, birds chirping in so many songs haha flowing with the songs, sounds of the 70's educational and corporate instructional videos, weird but it's pulled off soo well

Awesome Thread. Amazing Group.

 

Geogaddi is definately their best release, followed by Music has the right to children.

 

I agree that everyone should check them out.
