A permanent fixture in my all time top ten albums.
Edited one year agoThe drop off in complexity and intensity that accompanied making room for unremarkable live instrumentation guts the mystique and excitement of their previous two Warp LPs and leaves a disappointing product: A well polished but highly forgettable downtempo record that would not be out of place on any of the ceaseless Youtube chill-out lo-fi streams.
Take more time than others BoC albums to get into. But once, it is as valuable as others ihmo
Probably their most underrated album. How can somebody give this one/two stars with tracks like "85 Pontiac Dream", "Satellite Anthem Icarus", "Sherbet Head" and "Constants Are Changing"??- The argument often goes that this album does not match up with the level of accomplishment of "Music Has the Right..." and "Geogaddi." And my retort is simply this: it's still Boards of Canada. And Boards of Canada are LEVELS above most other producers working with beat-backed electronic music. Everything they've produced since "Music Has the Right..." - this album included - is rich and rewarding. They have one of the most refined aethetics of any electronic music producer or group - ever.
To any fan who feels this album falls short, I suggest this. Imagine this album were the debut by couple of previously unknown people. What would you think?
Campfire Headphase is WELL worth your time.
Definitely my favourite BoC album. For sure the other albums are really good, but this one strikes a nice balance combining their established ‘sound’ together with new elements (real guitars, drums etc) that I am sure will keep me coming back for many years to come.
