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.

Pros: An excellent collection of background music. Ranks with Eno's ambient best. Cons: Sometimes I want foreground music.

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...
Pros: hits the sweet spot when in the mood... Cons: too thin for a drum 'n bass head
Boards of Canada is a duo (Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin) out of Scotland that has been around since the early eighties. Music has the Right to Children was put out on Matador Records (Modest Mouse, Pizzicato Five, Belle and Sebastian,...) in late...
Pros: Consistantly grows on you,brings out emotions that are impossible to describe Cons: May be somewaht repetetive at times and not repetetive enough at other times.
I came across this cd in the "used CD's" section of our local music store,I bought it because I'd he ...
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...
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.

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...
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...
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...
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...
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. ...
