HAHAHA!!! I just checked out your original link. Damn! They must have the nerdiest fanbase of any band ever. It made me dizzy to read that crap. I think they’re competing with TOOL for title of biggest wankers.
BoC for some reason attract some really nerdy, entitlement complex assholes. It seems very ironic. The difference between BoC fans and Tool fans is though that the former like a band that makes good music
Whoops! I think I just faux pas’d. The Tools will come at me with their noodly arms
The first Boards of Canada album was an amazing exercise in using modern electronic music to somehow stimulate the nostalgia centers of the brain and create gauzy memories of educational filmstrips and trips to the playground.
I bought the next couple of records, but none of them quite managed to pull the same mental triggers.
I’ll probably think it’s crap anyway (I’m not really into “electronic” stuff), but perhaps you guys can suggest a few tracks for me to listen to and give them a chance.
This is a relatively easy-to-get-into track. Their stuff is not for everybody though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2zKARkpDW4

Thanks. You and the Rev are both on the money. It’s nothing I want to listen to on its own, but it does make good accompaniment to some science film about glaciers or space or underwater jellyfish . . .
Always found Boards of Canada to be a bit boring unless very stoned. Always appreciated them but never embraced them. It’s nice to hear them now and again though, as I am listening to them now and it’s nice…

i love electronic music. i never heard them before, but i’ve read about them numerous times. this song is pretty fucking awesome. the name always threw me off lol.
It is definitely fucking awesome. Especially lossless, played very loud. I never really thought of them as an “electronic band” or a part of “electronic music” honestly. I suppose that’s my own fault though for often assuming “electronic music” = club/dance music.

HAHAHAHA!!! That is awesome.
I’ll tell you one thing . . . if I get a bike it sure won’t have a basket on it. It’s amazing how often children died back then.
Nine Inch Nails used the monkey people to very creepy effect in one of their concert videos years ago.

I thought for sure it was a newly made video just done in the style of the oldies educational films, but I checked it. It really was made in 1963, supposedly as an educational film.

If any of you guys want a fight…I’m rolling my sleeves up as I type this…

Oh great. Tool fans versus Boards of Canada fans. This is gonna be like when Lamb of God does that gay “Wall of Death” crap, but with 5 year old Pokémon champs on one side and the My Little Pony fanclub on the other.

Oh Poncho!!
Could very well be. Could very well be.
But may I just add my two little cents worth? If you went to a Boards Of Canada show…would you witness what Evil Dildo and I witnessed at Rod Laver Arena on Saturday night…
