    this group have always passed me by. i don't think i ever fully understood them overall from the small amounts i have heard.
    what would be a good suggestion for a starting place?

    i would recommend music has the right to children but you need to kind of be a pothead to really "get it" i think.
    or at least have tripped or smoked enough in the past to have permanently damaged your brain enough for the seepage

    'Music Has A Right To Children' album
  • BeatChemistBeatChemist 1,465 Posts
    My personal favourite is Geogaddi. But I think, but it has more to do with the fact that the first time I listened to it was on a bus ride from Toronto to Sudbury. It was an overnight bus that left Toronto just after midnight and and got to Sudbury around 6am. I was living up there for the summer with my Dad, and had travelled back down to Toronto to visit a girl I was madly in love with, but too scared to tell. So that ride back to Sudbury, half drifting in and out of sleep, listening to Geogaddi, thinking about that girl - all added up to a deep emotional attachment to the album.

    MHTRTC and Twoism are close though.

    I enjoy pretty much everything I've heard from them. It just has an organic, nostalgic feel that is very powerful and evocative, but also comforting and familiar.





    EDIT

    Also... I think I like this album hype campaign better than Daft Punk's!

    I remember when Campfire Headphase came out, it was a time when I was getting most of my music from torrents or Soulseek or something, and there was talk that there was a bootleg and then the real deal. For whatever reason, I never tried to find out if I had the real thing or the 'leg, so I just didn't listen to it.

    But the first two albums - def a fan. This one short little tune on Geogoddi, "Driving Station," I put in this weird trifecta with the album cover of Donald Byrd's Places and Spaces and Miyazaki's Porco Rosso of these things that give me images of person air travel in the most romantic way possible, if that makes any sense. Basically: What kala said.

    Also, strictly from an ad perspective, this and the new Daft Punk taking back some of the mystery of the album release. I dig it.

    Indeed:

    (I was going to post an eBay link, but the Strut won't let me saying it's 'blacklisted'?)

    Search eBay for "Boards Of Canada RSD Promo" to see an $1800 BOC 12"

    Except that this auction is almost certainly bogus at this point and won't be paid.

    It does generate a lot of publicity, though.

    b/w

    After reading his 'description', I think this guy needs less college, not more.

    DJ Food - O Is For Orange from Solid Steel on Vimeo.




    DJ FOOD: "This mix originated because of a night called 'A Few Old Tunes' that I was involved with alongside Posthuman, Tom Central and Mach V. The idea was to build a night of sound and vision around Boards of Canada-inspired music with visuals of a similar aesthetic. It's a loose concept and I've used it to string together a lot of downtempo tracks that usually wouldn't get played in one of my regular club sets.
    'O Is For Orange' is the sound of weathered tape saturation, detuned analogue synthesisers, vinyl crackle and machine hum. It's also the look of flickering, unfocused lenses, mirror image filters and blurry grain embedded into film. Unofficial fan films sit alongside experimental animation, public information shorts and even the odd official video. Material that BoC took inspiration from blends with their own work as well as many that they in turn inspired.
    I make no apologies for the quality of the vision here, some of it is only available via the web at frustratingly small sizes. In a couple of instances I've actually downgraded the look and quality of the image to make it blend in better and in others, even my best attempts at filtering can't disguise the low quality of the source material. No HD or widescreen here, I've gone back to 4:3 for this one even though some of the clips were originally 16:9 or wider."

    edit - DJ Food's words (not mine or my mix sadly enough!), also due to being a dribbler I accidently DL'd the video before I worked out there's an mp3 of the audio on soundcloud, and the video has since been taken down due to copyright, so if anyone wants a copy of it let me know and I'll set up a fileshare for DL.

    oh how lovely Duderonomy
    that's the best thing i've seen/heard in awhile
    massive props!

    It's a great mix, let alone the visual element which is also amazing. Blazing downtempo excellence - you can download the mp3 here:





    Off topic: Solid Steels's 25th anniversary year - a lot of good mixes recently. Definitely check the De La Soul 3 Feet High mix if you haven't - there's a link in the Strut 100 to it http://www.soulstrut.com/index.php/forums/viewthread/75469/P60/

    BoC are just one of those groups I've never got into, and I have tried several times. I always feel that on paper I should love them but there is something about those glitchy plodding downtempo beats that just makes them unlistenable for me.
  • DuderonomyDuderonomy Haut de la Garenne 7,789 Posts
    I think I agree with what you're saying. I've always wanted a copy of Rogybiv (or whatever it's called) but never enough to actually buy it as the 2nd hand price kept rising and rising and rising...
    I'm sure if I plowed through their entire catalogue I'd find other tracks I like, but I'm quite happy to just have this mix instead.
  • kalakala 3,361 Posts
    its certainly not for everyone
    but if you smoke tree and have love for ambient electronica/ analog synths,70's ost's and educational films its kinda hard not to dig their first 2 albums:
    MHTRTC and Geogaddi
