Music reviews of Geogaddi
Music Review: I like Boards of Canada
Rating: 5 Stars
I like Boards of Canada. I was introduced to the group in Seattle where a visiting dj from Portland was picking up vinyl at Beats Int'l. This was late spring of 2000, and Music Has the Right to Children was the most current of their albums, and this guy helped me pick out a few items. I told him I really enjoyed "the K&D Sessions" and he just kind of fingered a few different things this being one of them.
As it was told to me, the artists are brothers who grew up in Canada, then later moved to Scotland, and their music consists of sampled, treated "sound boards" from old Canadian nature programming.
Their music slowly grew on me over time to the point where I think it is all great. Music Has the Right... used to be my favorite of their three current, main albums, but I revised that notion to identify Geogaddi as probably their strongest statement. But I would give each of these albums five stars.
The music is brooding, moody, and profound, almost exclusively without words. Richly layered sonic shapes of nalstagic coloring.
Highly recommended.
Description of Geogaddi
Special edition CD with hardbound cover and 12 page booklet.Geogaddi, like Boards of Canada's 1998 debut album, Music Has the Right to Children, drifts its way into consciousness, rolling a fog of dark-hued psychedelia over slow-burning, lullaby melodies. Having led a reclusive existence in their Hexagon Sun studio, shunning interviews and live shows in an effort to escape the shrill, loud praise that accompanied Children's release, the enigmatic Scottish duo has stayed focused, creating another tour de force in the process. Geogaddi opens with no fanfare, with the bare hum of "Ready Lets Go" blossoming into the soporific, hypnotic chimes of "Music Is Math". But for the next 65 minutes, it's clear that while BOC move slow, they do so with the power of shifting glaciers. All their old influences--the noise-as-melody drone of My Bloody Valentine, the brave futuristic synths of Neu!--remain, but more than anything, Geogaddi is about the vivid sense of warm melancholy that lingers when the music fades out. It's another slow-burner, but Geogaddi is as utterly essential as its predecessor. --Louis Pattison
