I just revisited their discography yesterday. They’re not usually my favourite type of music, but they have something special going on. Nothing else hits the spot when I’m in a BOC mood which happens pretty often. The pitched vocal sample in Music is Math that goes “eeeeee-onnnnngh” just appears in my head randomly all the time, and same with the one that says “the past inside the present”. They’re masterful with their use of samples.
I recently came across this video of ixi listening to Geogaddi for the first time and breaking it down. It was a pleasure to see someone’s first reaction and with such a depth of music knowledge. Worth a watch imo - https://youtu.be/rQTPgDT1L14
Some of my all-time favorite music. They are a massive influence in my taste in music…It had never occurred to me that nostalgia could be induced by ‘foreign’ (unfamiliar may be the better word) music, and for a place/time that may never have even existed or may be misremembered or jumbled with other memories. It’s strange what music can do, how it can make you feel, think, see… They also showed me how ominous electronic music can sound, how much of a landscape can be painted with sound. I love all their albums, and getting to experience the release of Tomorrow’s Harvest was a treat.
This is the second time I’ve seen BoC pop up in the past 2 days day (edit, lol). I swear, the one good thing that’s come about in the past couple years has been this place. Thank you all for being here and participating!
Can we talk about Boards of Canada for a sec? Such surreal music. It has a special place in my mind.
