Customer Reviews
Still whishing...
Nice, BoC style, interesting, neo-hippy, psychedelic, now I would wish they could overgrow their concept of having a beat that has some similarity to drums, esp. TRish sound we know for so long... and also quite classic slow clubbish beats...
Give us real ambient without the annoying beats... Provide rhythmic structures with other elements, not with electro drums - that would be something really new and exciting from them.
Anyway - ok album.
But there are many less known artists that more mature than BoC and would deserve even more recognition - like Keith Fullerton Whitman, Tim Hecker, Fennesz and many more.
Extended Play for Extended Drives
Spaced out day trips for real life road trips. Surreality meets quiet scenery on Boards of Canada's EP release. Reminiscent of their last EP release (In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country), one can almost feel like they are on the Trans-Canada highway, awash with white and the silent stillness of a land which the warmth of the sun has forsaken.
Makes for a good introduction
This is my first Boards of Canada purchase and it instantly hooked me on these guys! Most of you Boards aficionados would probably point a newbie to their first 2 full-length albums, but this is a great choice as well.
In fact when I went to my local record shop, all they had was this one, "In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country" and "Twoism". Strange selection, I know! This EP had the coolest artwork though.
It only took one day of repeated listening to send me back to pick up "In a Beautiful Place...". How these 2 Scotsmen manage to channel the paradox of natural beauty and modernity that is Canada, I'll never know.
It's rare for me to get excited about electronic music, but Boards of Canada and this EP in particular are that wonderful exception. Recommended especially to fans of "post-rock" and ambient music.
