Also, The last LFO record had about 5 tracks that were way better than anything BoC did, and in the exact same vain.

good choice Disco Nihilist, The title song on Geometry gets me hard. Their new lp is excellent 2, first track is nuts, like to see prefuse crap that out.

Christs metamorphic reproduction lp is beter than anything the boards did, still love the boards though. In fact, metamorphic RM is the best lp ever made in the history of the world, according to www.wikipedia.org

It also occurs to me that this girl _NEEDS_ a copy of Dots by Atom Heart. It isn't in the exact same vein but I think it's minimal, pointilistic analogue sequencer vibe will appeal to anybody looking for mellow electronic going to bed music.

I am totally loving New World Observer by Deadbeat. It is totally OT tho...

A lot of the new (but rather poor IMO) Black Dog - Silenced album is rather Boards-like to my ears. But then I'm not a big BOC fan. Take opinion with salt...

i second the above for Casino vs. Japan! the second lp (i think)--"Whole Numbers Play the Basics", is great, plus there are good tracks on the split ep w/ Freescha.

Justin Walter's Unseen Forces

Well... a little bit. It's the electronic valve instrument sound that reminds me of it. Either way this is a great LP.

*nerd voice* Most BoC worship sounds garish and point-missing, imo... not monochrome enough! the ambient interludes machinedrum had on his early glitch-hop stuff really succeeded in taking off from that one of a kind BoC eerie/warm smeared sound/vibe...

tyrants by dawn richards sounds a lot like Boards

Week of Wonders (Ross), Saturday, 21 October 2017 19:39 (six years ago) link

boulderdash - we never went to koxut island

https://boulderdash.bandcamp.com/album/we-never-went-to-koxut-island

i was really into this one back in the day, it's from 2000 and very BoC-alike. has finally showed up on bandcamp, i couldn't find it anywhere for ages.

ciderpress, Saturday, 21 October 2017 20:13 (six years ago) link

I've often thought that about that Dawn track.

Doran, Sunday, 22 October 2017 00:20 (six years ago) link

good stuff. Id say this was probably BoC influenced or at least mines some similarly hazy atmospherics.

LNRDCROY - Much Less Normal

You could argue that this walks over the line between 'sounds like' and 'somewhat beholden to...' but I really like it just the same.
