Geogaddi [Digipak] [Limited Edition]

Amazon.com
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

Best of Boards.......2007-04-25

I found Boards of Canada on pandora.com, when creating a song list based on the music of Brian Eno.

I was immediately astonished by 'Satellite Anthem Icarus', one of many superb tracks off of the Boards' latest LP, 'The Campfire Headphase.' Campfire is a milestone for modern music, featuring layered samples, synths, reverb, acoustic and electric guitars. 'Dayvan Cowboy' from Campfire is one of the greatest single pieces of electronic music ever recorded (and the video found for this track found on the band's website).

After some months of plumbing the pleasures of Campfire, I delved into Board's first LP, 'Music has the Right to Children.' No complaints here - this is another tasty set of electronic delights. At times, though, Children drifts a little too far in the direction of house, a tad too meaty on the beat and bass, with the sublime complexity one craves from Boards to be somewhat lacking, especially with the latter tracks.

As luck would have it, my Volvo CD Changer ate Children, and I had to ship the whole unit (w/ the CD in there) to the manufacturer. The dealer promised I would eventually get the CD back but, in the meantime, my brain was bugging me to get on with more Boards.

Really having no choice, Geogaddi found its way into my neural net and - sans doute - this is the Board's consistent best LP to date. The shear creativity that went into creating Geogaddi inspires awe. And, no, this is not machine music. It has warmth, and weirdness - including bizarre samples (including Leslie Nielsen's (?) voice on the track 'Dandelions'), and infant voices.

'Sunshine Recorder' features a shuffling beat, recorded loops, and multiplying synthesizers which culminate in a child's voice, insisting that the listener "give us the place." The context of this sample makes one's skin crawl. It is utterly weird, yet tuneful and, somehow (after a few listens), accessible.

Other reviewers have noted other standout tracks, such as 'Julie and Candy', '1969', 'Beach at Redpoint', 'Alpha & Omega.'

'The Devil is in the Details' features a distorted sample of some sort of self-help guru, whose voice seems to bubble up through mud, juxtaposed against an infant's plaintive wailing. Another oddly compelling, totally original, composition.

There are 23 tracks here but the odd numbered tracks, for the most part, are little bridge songs. Most of these are decent. There are a few throwaways ('Dandelion' being among them). But the shear number of great tracks makes this CD a 'must have' for anyone who digs electronic music.

After just a few years, Boards of Canada has established a catalogue of some of the best produced electronic music ever made.

Geogaddi stands as their current masterpiece.

5 Stars all the way.

Great Album.......2007-02-03

Geogaddi is a great album but pales in comparison to the glorious "Music has the Right to Children." Maybe it's the indie kids who gave bad reviews with statements about how they didn't evolve enough, or possibly the fact that it's predecessor meant so much to me, but I think I just expected more from this album. It has some great moments like "Julie and Candy," "1969," and "Alpha and Omega," packaged with some dark imagery with backmasking, subliminal sounds, and references to David Koresh (weird). Overall this album, though darker, is a warm album. The colors aren't as vivid as "Music has the Right to Children," but they're still utterly beautiful.

good, i think.......2007-01-27

I actually like this album better than the other ones, some say it's dark but i like it , it's ok.

Mystical. Mythical. Whatever u call it. This album is just 2 Phenominal!!.......2007-01-11

I got this cd bout 4 0r 5 months ago and its my first album from the 'Boards of Canada'. After reading a few reviews by other customers, I was surprised of what I read. Some say the the album was good and others said it was bad. But what surprise me was that half of them (if not most of them)said that this album is creepy, scary, very dark, and stangely enough, Satanism! I was like 'whoa and what the hell'. One customer had pointed it out that it has 666 megabytes, the album is 66mins and 6secs, and that it fefers to a god with hooves and hornes! Jeeez! Well,overall I like this album. I like all the songs. But I do have 4 favorite ones so far. '1969' was the reason why I had to get this cd. But after hearing 'Julie & Candy', 'The Beach at Redpoint', and 'Alpha & Omega, I becamed even more hooked on this glorious cd. But The Beach at Redpoint is my winner so far. U can picture a lot of things when u listen to it. Right now, its like just relaxing, cruising, thinking, and for some reason, seems like it fits well for fights!! Anyways, I really like this album and plan on checking out their other albums. But I will try to see if I can find out more info about the creepiness and santanism others are saying. But it just hasent sinked in me right now. Oh well.

The most moving eletronic album I have ever heard.......2006-12-23

I hated this album the first time I heard it, as it was my first Boards of Canada album, and I was just getting into electronic music. However, I eventually grew to love certain tracks like "The Beach At Redpoint" and "Alpha and Omega". Now, after countless more listens, I have learned to appreciate all of this fantastic album. It flows so naturally, and moves me like no other electronic recording I have ever (and probably ever will) heard.

It is repetitive and deceptively simple, like many other electronic albums, but it's also layered, lush and complex. I won't say that Music Has the Right to Children is a lesser album. In fact, I think MHTRTC is more consistent, but it does not strike as as beautiful as Geogaddi. You simply cannot go wrong with this album. A must-buy.

A lot of money for one extra song.......2005-04-01

Yes I know this is an import. but come on! I have the extra track "From One Source All Things Depend" which is not on the regular Geogadi album, but wich is on the Japanese version. It is a song of a bunch of kids praying to God. They say "in the name of the father, sun, holy spirit..../Hail Mary full of grace..../Now I lay me down to sleep/ Forgive us..../God is somebody that rules the world.../God can see us what ever we do..../ What would happen if he wasn't nice?..../If he was a bad man he would make everything bad, we wouldn't have electricity, He wouldn't make people, thats would happen if God wasn't nice....." I found this wierd. While all this is being said by 5 year old kids, they have a droning organ like always..hehe playing in backround, nor worth the 45 bucks used on e-bay or on amazon... but a cute, wierd filler/outro.
