Boards of Canada (or BoC as they're often abbreviated to as) is a band formed by Scottish brothers Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin. While their music is classified as electronic almost, all the samples they use are purely acoustic with many sources from nature documentaries, scientific devices, and frequency modulation.

I decided to do a deconstructed review of my favorite album of theirs: Geogaddi. I didn't realize what sort of insane project I was getting myself into when I started this. However, I must certainly be thankful for the kind folks at BoC Pages for help in explaining some of these tracks. I must warn you that this music is not for everyone. Many of the more skittish listeners will be turned off by the unfamiliar sounds, and those who are concerned about "demonic influences" may be scared away entirely before even getting halfway through the album. I sincerely doubt the band members are evil or devil-worshipers. They're just very inquisitive, intellectual, and beautifully strange on a level all their own.

I have included videos for all of the longer tracks, and just put in links for the shorter ones. Originally I was going to have videos for each track on this album. Then I realized that putting 23 videos on one page was really going to bog down some of the slower connections.

And with that, let's begin.
