Man, i love me them Boards Of Canada
 
Let's talk about them. Their material to me is happy, yet kinda depressing, at the same time; the way they intertwine their melodies. I bought Campfire Headphase years ago and it didn't hit me back then. So about 9 months ago I was hooked and bought all their stuff. does anyone know what they're up to at the moment? or know anything interesting about them?

They're fantastic. Awesome. Mindblowingly beautiful. One of my favorite bands. And pure geniuses.
They have so many great melodies, they give me shivers everytime I hear them. Geogaddi is by far my favorite album

I hope they'll release something sometime in 2009

I got Campfire Headphase for Christmas and it's great! I love Peacock Tail, Dayvan Coyboy, Satellite Anthem Icarus and pretty much every track.

Music Has the Right to Children is easily their best though, every song there is just perfect. BoC Maxima is also a really great listen.

Geogaddi is good until it gets to 1969. After that, I skip ahead to Dawn Chorus. It's way overrated by fans, I just don't get it.

My favorite is Music Has a Right to Children. I like em' all. Yeah, i skip around too on some albums, but for the most part all of their stuff is great. I don't know Maxima, will check that out.

It's really Lo-fi, man. But you can hear where MHTRTC came from while listening to it.

music has the right to children is a modern day classic.. the rest of their output is mediocre at best....

from geogaddi onwards they started going down hill, but prior to that almost everything they did was excellent.

I remember not being impressed by the campfire headphase.

I wouldn't say Geogaddi was mediocre. It definately is well constructed and has some amazing tracks, just not as good as MHTRTC.

I think it is far better than Music... The atmosphere is darker, and it's more difficult to get into I guess, but I don't know, I like albums that get me into an ambience, and this one definitely does so - more than Music. The tracks themselves might not be as good, but the overall ambience is stronger which is why I like it so much.

I would so not want to be on acid while listening to Geogaddi.
