Do you not know what I mean? The place BoC takes me to at first seems like a futuristic utopia, a place where we've become one with technology and there isn't any war, hunger or disease (I've always pictured Wildlife Analysis being the blissful "everything is alright folks" theme to the tv news station in this utopia). But on further inspection this place feels really cold and inhuman, like the childlike laughter you hear on some songs isn't genuine laughter, it's all automated and the result of what those cloned futuristic android kids were programmed to do in response to certain stimuli. I picture The Colour Of The Fire being what one of these androkids playing in a sandbox on his own and singing to himself would sound like, seemingly happy as larry but he actually lacks that human spark that would make this happiness at all genuine or meaningful
I don't know where I'm going with this

sometimes I think it'll grow off me, but then it never happens. Instead my favorite tracks just shift around. Like right now I'm most drawn to their ambient stuff like Corsair and Over the Horizon Radar and Tears from the Compound Eye.

agreed man
but i've always preferred their ambient tracks like Olsson and Open the Light etc. if the new album is in that style i might just faint

Now that the show is over
And we have jointly exercised our constitutional rights
We would like to leave you with one very important thought
Sometime in the future, you may have the opportunity
To serve as a juror in a censorship case or a so-called obscenity case
It would be wise to remember that the same people
Who'd stop you from listening to Boards Of Canada
May be back next year to complain about a book, or even a TV program
If you could be told of what you can see or read
Then it follows that you can be told what to say or think
Defend your constitutionally protected rights
No one else will do it for you, thank you

everything boards of canada does is based around nostalgia, this album is warm, pleasant nostalgia whereas geogaddi is more somber, contemplative nostalgia
really? that reminds me of a friend of mine who thinks the colour of the fire 'sounds so cute'. i legit don't see how anyone could hear it as anything other than creepy as hell. overall i think the atmosphere in most of their music is pretty dark

To me it's about mustering the courage to say it, or in the context of "An Eagle in Your Mind" it's about reflecting on the words and drawing them out after the sudden realisation at 2:50.
