Michael most aptly described the album in a 2002 interview with OOR Magazine:Ī trial-by-fire, a claustrophobic, twisting journey that takes you into some pretty dark experiences before you reach the open air again.Boards of Canada is an electronic duo from Edinburgh, Scotland, consisting of brothers Mike Sandison (b 1 June 1970) and Marcus Eoin (b 21 July 1971) They have released a number of works mainly music has the right to children and Geogaddi with little advertising and few interviews - like many of their label-mates on the pioneering electronic music label Warpīoards of Canada has had an enormous impact on the ambient downtempo and scenes idm They often refers to the warm scratchy artificial sounds of 1970s television fact Sandison Brothers admit that inspired the documentary films of National Film Board of Canada, from where they take their name duo have recorded a few minor works under the name Hell Interface Boards of Canada's music hara been used in several CSI Sectiot and the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim interlude shorts, small pieces of their music has been used in the BBC program Top Gear for transitional music Michael Sandison said in a 2005 interview with Playlouder that the album was deliberately dark, comparing it to “exorcizing demons.”
Standing at 23 tracks in length, summing to 66 minutes and 6 seconds, Geogaddi sprinkles themes of satanism, nature, and mathematics all over the record, the title itself can be translated to “God of the ground.” Despite this, the duo consistently assures that thematic content is simply based on curiosity and interest. The record’s tracklist is more of a toss-up between interludes and full-length tracks than any other BoC album with 10 of its tracks merely short vignettes under 2 minutes long. The vocals are cryptic, the synths texturally enticing, and the percussion violent. Commonly referred to as one the duo’s best efforts, the record released to universal acclaim, immediately recognized for its similar, but noticeably darker profile compared to the band’s previous work.Ī slight deviation from Boards of Canada’s sound on Music Has the Right to Children, Geogaddi is significantly eerier and more atmospheric. A deep thematic plunge for Boards of Canada, Geogaddi, their sophomore studio album, is easily the Sandison brothers' most enigmatic, sinister, and esoteric.
