Album Rating: 3.5

The 3.5.





I have a vague memory of Boards of Canada knocking about when they first started and being impressed but it was just wallpaper.



I then bought this in 2009 after the good old internet hype kicked in and was dismayed by lack of groove, beat or pushing things forward.

The atmosphere and nostalgia thing is unrivalled though it really is.



I do love this album a lot, I have it on vinyl and CD but it’s background noise. There’s nothing beyond the sense of placement it creates.







As for Geogaddi

It offers the least of what BoC actually offer.

Album Rating: 5.0

'The atmosphere and nostalgia thing is unrivalled though it really is.'



It was always more a new type of ambient than a 'dance album' and judged as an ambient album it is a 5



'Geogaddi' is the most 'science textbook' of the lot and thus the most BOC, not my favourite of theirs but it is the most archetypal.

Album Rating: 3.5

It’s dance the same way as Aphex twin is dance.

‘Electronic’ is the more catch all term I suppose.



And yeah science textbook is absolutely bang on.

Album Rating: 3.5

Get on London Overgrown Bob.

Album Rating: 4.5

My dad has seen THE QUIET MAN (Ford/Wayne film, 1952) twenty times, I think



Will check that album! Never heard of John Foxx

Album Rating: 3.5

John Foxx’s the quiet man is a spoken word ambient album about a fella on his own in a deserted London reflecting on time, youth and the journey of life while having a mental ‘escape’



An essential once a year listen.

kinda nuts how good this is, and I really don't ever listen to it much
