Ambient trip-hop meets Carol-Ann meets Big Bird and the Gang

by sarah_knipper , Mar 26 '04
Pros: Wonderful use of different vocal samples, almost consistently listenable, excellent for yoga/meditation/concentration music
Cons: The creepiness in a few parts breaks it up
Oh, I'm sorry, did you say trip-hop? Why yes, yes I did. Trip-hop is, like, sooooo pasee. Massive Attack...yawn...Tricky. ..spare me. Trip-hop is a relic that belongs firmly in the 90's. Well, too bad. Boards of ...

Trip-Hoppin' Through Your Past (The Pitchfork Perfect 10's: Part 3)

by knowncutter , Jun 16 '08
Pros: An excellent collection of background music. Ranks with Eno's ambient best.
Cons: Sometimes I want foreground music.
For a brief introduction to the series: Cli ck Here If at any point in your life you’ve considered yourself a music aficionado or a fan of the album as a whole, cohesive unit, it’s fairly likely that ...

Music For Collective Memory

by Smoople , May 08 '01
Pros: mysterious and lovely electronic melodies and atmospheres that tap our collective childhood memories
Cons: the consistent mellowness may bore some, the sometimes ominous undercurrents may frighten others
I have no idea how they pull it off, but the music of the Scottish duo Boards Of Canada somehow manages to be completely alien, yet subconsciously familiar. It's as if they somehow tapped into a collective Western consciousness, extracted snippets of...

by prince_rillian , Aug 22 '03

Most excellent album

by fozzbix , Nov 12 '00
Pros: Good tunes, varied, intelligent
Cons: A bit cheese in parts
I first heard this album in the summer of 2000, and it has been the favourite I have returned to time and time again. Atmospheric, moving, intriguing, different: this album has it all. If you were to call it names, I suppose you could call it...

Happy Thoughts

by moonlitsun , Dec 15 '02
Pros: Perfect segways as you take a trip to childhood.
Cons: The world forgot to pay attention to these boys.
This is my first review on epinions, so please forgive the apparent lack of descriptive decoration.

However, I listened to BOC's "Roygbiv", which is like taking a stroll down public television avenue as you wave to happy children singing about...

Aquatic Soundscapes

by stolenwind , Apr 14 '01
Pros: Atmospheric, without abrasive beats, layered sound, very moving and serene at the same time.
Cons: Songs too similar times, causing the album to fly by in a homogenous blur.
Boards of Canada exercise a certain minimalism and subtlety that their peers could greatly benefit from. The rich, moving soundscapes beckon the listener into serenity, setting the mind at ease, while perplexing it with the layered compositions. B.O.C....

Life Changing

by rooots , Nov 23 '00
Pros: Beautiful, lush music that loves you back.
Cons: None
This album was purely a chance by as result of reading a small article about these two men from Scotland known as "The Boards of Canada". Little did I know that this album would have such a profound effect on me and the direction I went in...

ambient intelligence

by extra_medium , Dec 15 '00
Pros: good to the last note
Cons: it comes too soon
I bought this because my friend was playing it non stop in the car one day, we have experimented before with electronic stuff, mostly to just appreciate what other musicians can accomplish. This was perfect for the time, I taped it and listened to it in...

Music has the right to BoC

by joyrex5 , Jan 09 '01
Pros: Beautifully melodic
Cons: None whatsoever
I don't know where to start. All I can really say is that this album literally changed the way I listen to music. It is everything and anything I have ever looked for, and I don't know where they came from. After listening to all of their other work...

pristine beats

by meanslipper , Dec 24 '00
Pros: original
Cons: Might be too experimental for top 40 heads
I wanna make this short, but they won't let me-Futuristic blissful beats of meditation. Bladerunner in the country. Stuff I would like to watch a laser show too with a picnic and some wine. Intelligent hip-hop. I enjoy B.O.C.'s perspective. Its...

Amazing

by anogueira , Mar 02 '00
Pros: One of the best electronic groups today.
Cons: Has not released a lot of material.
Forget all you know about ambient music and techno. Board of Canada (BoC) is actually a duo from the UK that puts out electronic music injected with beauty and fun. This is feel-good electronica like no one else is capable of producing these days.
