i strongly reccomend "geodaddi"

Geogaddi

It's well known amongst those that have died, that the passage "Over the horizon radar" accompanies one into the afterlife

i think they're one of my favourite bands. i like both albums equally.

i think this sums up my feelings on them perfectly:

http://pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/b/boards-of-canada/music-has-the-right-to-children-reissue.shtml

"Boards managed to evoke childhood without seeming cute or twee. It's childhood not as it's lived but as we grown-ups remember it, at least those of us with less-than-fond recollections. The shades of darkness and undercurrents of tension (qualities which came further to the fore on 2002's Geogaddi) accurately reflect the confusion of a time that cannot be neatly summed up with any one feeling or emotion."

the weirdest occurance of one of their songs was 'happy cycling' in the background of a scene in six feet under, series 2.

al - is that a photo of gordon cole as your avatar?

...I SAID, IS THAT A PHOTO OF GORDON COLE AS YOUR AVATAR?!! YOU'LL HAVE TO SPEAK UP!!
