listen to it 20 more times is my advice
Laugh-Out-Loud. If it takes 20 or more times to get into an album, then it's probably best to move on to something else.

It doesn't. After 20 you might still hear new details you didn't notice before though, there's a lot of that.

Wrong on so many levels. I've had albums that have taken me years to fully appreciate (predominantly jazz records admittedly).

Damn right.

I'd rather have a record I'm still getting to know and getting stuff from after 20 listens than one I'm done with after 20 listens.
Difficult to listen to any of the tracks out of context. Have to listen to this as one long piece or at least broken out into chunks.

Who wants some Boards of Canada vinyl?
http://boardsofcanada.com/vinyl-reissues/#geogaddi
I bet those people that have just paid hundreds of pounds for the original records are going to be pissed off.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 15 August 2013 15:05 (ten years ago) link
That's good news.
Were the original albums on 140g vinyl?
― van smack, Thursday, 15 August 2013 15:13 (ten years ago) link
Geogaddi sounds like a different album on vinyl. Good god! Sounds I hadn't noticed before and the warmth and bass is next level.

Have you heard Sir Prancelot Brainfire? God their band oriented are fucking sick. I pine for the moment these will ever see a proper release.

Yeah! I just dloaded Random 35 Tracks Tape/ripped it to my phone today (thanks to epicharmus) and it's amazing stuff, obv around 2004 they were working w electric guitar but I never expected anything as psych/whatever as this

Off topic: The last album left me stone cold. Very disappointing.

"Skam Records are very proud to announce the re-release of theBoards of Canada - Hi Scores EP on the 13th October 2014.
The new edition has been re-recorded and re-mastered from the original DAT tapes and has been re-cut onto heavyweight collector’s edition vinyl. The CD will be placed in a Digi-Pak sleeve with some extra art & the vinyl will have a double-sided 12” poster.
The original image on the back of the sleeve will now be in colour. There will be a spot varnish finish on the images & text alongside the usual Skam Braille sticker to give the whole package new depth and a refreshing look and feel."

oh no, i'm not saying it's not real.. sorry, i was just in a cynical mood this morning.

i know what you mean though, won't seem real until the cover is spray-painted on a rock in some desert somewhere and the co-ordinates broadcast using teletext during the next full moon.

BOARDS OF CANADAVINYL REPRESSES 2013
Responding to popular demand, Warp Records is repressing its seminal Boards of Canada catalogue on vinyl for the first time in over five years.
On 21st October the albums Music Has The Right To Children (originally released in 1998), Geogaddi (2002) and The Campfire Headphase (2006) will be reissued. These will be followed on 18th November by the mini-album Twoism (1995) and EPs In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country (2000) and Trans Canada Highway (2006).
Also, look out for a vinyl reissue of Hi Scores EP (1996) through Skam later this year.
i guess that last bit slipped...

DJ Food - O Is For Orange (BOC video mix, tracklist at the Vimeo page)

I know it's old but I only just found out he did this and it's BOC quiet so why not
feels like it's been a while since Tomorrow's Harvest. Would be great if they followed it up with something soon rather than waiting another 7 or 8 years.

never realised dj food = PC and Strictly
― Unheimlich Manouevre (dog latin), Friday, 6 March 2015 09:35 (nine years ago) link
Okay, I didn't know about PC quitting, Stan was right.
DL, I think Coldcut were originally involved with DJ Food, but later on it became PC and Strictly Kev duo, and apparently now it's just Strictly.

just occurred to me that I've always thought of their albums like this:
MHTRTC: SkyGeogaddi: Core Campfire: SeaTomorrow: City
That's probably abetted by their album covers, but that's always how I've heard them.
― Shat Parp (dog latin), Thursday, 17 August 2017 10:08 (six years ago) link
Campfire esp. Dayvan Cowboy has always been about outer space for me, that must have to do with the video but it rings very true even without watching it.
