#GreatAlbums2000s - #BoardsOfCanada – Geodaddi (2002). The second album by this Scottish duo puts a darker shade over the brothers’ hauntological soundscapes, first popularized on 1998’s Music Has the Right to Children. “Gyroscope” and “Sunshine Recorder” are unsettling plunges into the brothers’ audio dreamscape. Snippets of old documentary narration on “Dandelion” and “Energy Warning” infuse the whole set with the dusty varnish of a half-remembered schoolroom.
Selected influences (part 1)
I don't know what documentary I'm currently watching on NASA TV, but it's the most "Boards Of Canada" thing I've ever seen.
Seems to be an early 1970s documentary about the engineering of Apollo 11, but then its aerial views of mountains & rivers, interspersed with close-ups of eagles, sunlight beaming through leaves of trees, Buzz Aldrin buttering a slice of bread floating in space. The reencoding from MPEG2 into 512kbps MP4 is making it a faint lofi transmission.

One of the best pieces of writing I’ve seen on Boards of Canada by Daniel Bromfield in Stereogum for the 10th anniversary of Tomorrow’s Harvest… (archive link to get past Stereogum’s craptastic volcano of ads) https://archive.ph/wc4Ce

The b-side to the Aquarius single, Chinook, is one of those darker, rougher, early Boards of Canada songs that sometimes hits the spot. I particularly love the amazing footage this fan mated it with here:

Today’s Boards of Canada — cLOUDDEAD’s Dead Dogs Two remix (instrumental). Says Marcus: “I had a lot of fun doing that remix, because I was trying to figure out how many interesting, outlandish psychedelic sounds I could add to each verse.”

This evening’s Boards of Canada track… North Sea Arbeit taken from the Old Tunes Vol 2 tape. A simple plunky little tune.

Today’s Boards of Canada — Tears From The Compound Eye off of 2005’s Campfire Headphase LP. This track is so beautiful to me that I rarely listen to it casually, reserving it for moments with the appropriate mental alterations.
