Boards Of Canada - Geogaddi - 09-Sep-03 04:59 PM
This album is a work of art, and anyone who can say anything negative about it (besides nightmares or an odd sense of despair and nostalgia) needs to have their head examined. Meat? Meat? This is meat!!! What do you want Warp to do, go back and start releasing those obnoxious old school LFO and Sabres of Paradise albums? NEVER!!! Warp can never expect to be as pretentious as its fans. I would put Geogaddi on my list of best albums ever (the same list with like.....dark side of the moon and sgt peppers lonely hearts club and so on). just listen to the damn thing and you'll know why

Autechre - Radio Mix - 09-Sep-03 04:54 PM
there's some part in the middle that sounds like an old radio show. does anyone know what the hell that is?
this could easily be my favorite autechre release ever which makes it all the more obnoxious how hard to find it is

Autechre - Draft 7.30 - 20-Apr-03 06:48 PM
It's as if Confield and Gantz Graf took ep7 pills and listened to LP5 while tripping. Autechre have finally brought their sick vision to life. Draft 7.30 actually feels like it's alive. After several important seconds of silence, we wake up in the "Xylin Room." After knocking about, we fall down an elevator shaft in the moronically titled "IV VV IV VV VIII," which ends in gorgeous explosions of sound and drifts into "6IE.CR." We've now fallen out onto the city streets of Autechreville. We walk slowly away from the city, and can only see the dimly lit orange lights in "Tapr." Darkness takes over and the album's menacing centrepiece, "Surripere" begins. This track could be seen as the portal that we pass through for the rest of the album. We are in some sort of asteroid field in "Theme of Sudden Roundabout." Then comes a trio of more beat oriented songs, ending with "V-Proc," an insane hip hop/Autechre mashup. Finally, the beginning of "Reniform Puls" takes the entire Draft 7.30 organism and pours it into our brain before exploding into the track's signature Autechre clicks and computer monologues. In the end, Autechre have gone to the point where they are more of a concept than an artist anymore. Only the true geniuses wind up in that status.

Boards Of Canada - Twoism - 09-Mar-03 08:10 PM
contrary to popular belief, "twoism" is rotten, horrible, not good and just plain bad. well maybe it's not that bad but it's certainly not worth the insane amounts of money people were paying for it before it was rereleased. their later work is much, much better. this sounds like boards of canada, but without the feeling of their later works. same technique, different frame of mind i guess.

Boards Of Canada - Hi Scores - 03-Mar-03 06:20 PM
Seriously, this is the best thing Boards of Canada ever put out, so why such small quantities? The first and last tracks are amazing, and playing them is probably the best way to explain Boards of Canada. Very nostalgic, emotional, oddly named songs. I'd love to know where they came up with "Everything You Do Is A Balloon"
