Kathleen tells about the best Boards of Canada albums to start with, and gives us her best albums of the year
Uploaded by the Desert Bus Video Strike Team
Geogaddi came out in early 2002, in an interview they said that after the 9/11 attacks it pushed them towards making a darker record
She is a true fan. I traveled aimlessly around the Southwest camping for months and The Campfire Headphase did not come out of the CD player in the car the entire time. Sleeping on the ground in places where I knew no one- fires nightly and seemingly endless days in nature briefly interrupted by quick trips into town all the while accompanied by BOC. Listening to that album now is like sitting with an old friend. My old dog Bella was with me and she is dead now but hearing Campfire Headphase it's like that memory of her becomes more real somehow.
BOC is my all time favorite. All of their catalog invoke in me, a feeling that nothing else can bring forth from my being. It's difficult to explain in words because although the word nostalgia comes close, the music speaks so much more
Your description of each BOC album is flawless!
I think the influence of MHTRTC (1998) on OK Computer (1997) has been overlooked until now. Kid A / Amnesiac, fair enough.
How could it influence ok computer if it came out a year later?
I am so happy to see another woman that loves BOC. Loved them since 2000, one of the few artists that have never put out a bad album.
BoC are my favourite band also - Tomorrow’s Harvest is my choice album - I hope Mike & Marcus are still making music! It would be amazing for them to suddenly reappear with new material👍
Kathleen mentioned BOC in an old loading time and i am eternally greatfull
Well done Kathleen, I think you nailed the BoC albums.
Damn, that was a pretty concise description of each BoC 'studio' album. Sums them up perfectly.
Geogaddi came out in 2002 lmao
This is badass. Casually giving a wonderful breakdown of legendary music while playing games
I would love to have a conversation with this Kathleen lady, seems very introspective
Music has the right to children, is my favourite album. I’ve listened to electronic music since the late eighties. It’s still one of my favourite albums.
It was a huge influence on kid a I’m pretty sure not ok computer
the campfire headphase is their best, imo. it is the best overall representation of their sound.

1st time here
The Campfire Headphase isn't my favourite B of C album, but when I listen to it, I feel like it's 2005 and I'm back on vacation with my family again.
similar experience with the album
I always thought BoC got better as the years went on. I still think Tomorrow's Harvest was their best.
Favorite song is probably "Left Side Drive" from the Trans Canada Highway EP (it sounds even better on vinyl 😍)
If I could only choose 1 album and 1 EP, it would have to be MHTRTC (An Eagle In Your Mind, Sixtyten, Aquarius), and Hi Scores (June 9th and Everything You Do Is A Balloon). These are tracks in my all time top ten.
she's absolutely right
Geogaddi wasn’t released until 2002 and it would be quite impossible that OK Computer was influenced by Music Has the Right To Children as it came one year before If I’m not wrong… still clear she’s a true fan
1992?
I think she mixed the decade (90s) because MHRTC came out then, but remembered the 2 at the end. i think she knew to some degree that it came out 2002 and just fumbled
The best album is one that is specifically irreplaceable and their whole structure would be incomplete or broken if you remove that brick (Geogaddi...).
Who is this woman?
Twoism is my personal favorite, followed by Music has the right to children, and tomorrow’s harvest
BoC are nothing short of genius. Geogaddi is still my favorite electronic album of all time. It does have a couple creepy tracks but the majority of it is beautiful and warm. Like laying out in the sun on a summer day. Most of it having tribal sounds combined with warm synths. Music has the Right to Children is also a straight-up masterpiece. I often go back and forth between them as to which one I like more. The only thing I don't like about BoC is their satanic references which can be a bit unsettling at times. I've always wondered if Michael and Marcus are satanists or if it's just an artistic direction, or theme, they took with Geogaddi.
Pretty much everything they made was masterpiece quality accept 'Tomorrow's Harvest' which I consider the biggest album letdown of my life. Compared to their other albums and EP's it's utter dog shit. A bland electronic album with no soul. A reputation tarnishing cash grab. Every BoC fan I know absolutely hate it and refuse to acknowledge it when talking about them. She is the first person I've ever heard talk positively of it. However, she stated they're her absolute favorite musicians and it seems like she wouldn't speak negatively about them.
I mean I also don't like Tomorrow's Harvest particularly, but I wouldn't call it utter dog shit or try to wipe it from memory. I think there might have been something going on between behind the scenes (I mean they have children and a family now (with now I mean 2013)).
@@kidkangaroo5213 Yeah, I guess I was a bit harsh but when comparing their earlier work to Tomorrow's Harvest the drop in quality is drastic. I think they just took far too long of a break and lost a lot of what they used to have because of it.
@@MovedbyTruth Yeah, I kinda get that. This band is one of the things I have closest to my heart, and I find it kinda worrying that both of them are turning 50 this and next year. At the frequency that they release music, we might only see one album and maybe another EP before they retire their music career. I hope to God that in the meantime they find their groove again or maybe reinvent themselves.
@@kidkangaroo5213 Cheers to that.
@@MovedbyTruth Cheers 🍻
Uhm, Ok Computer was from 1997, how could a 98 record inspire it?
I believe she meant Kid A, from 2000. Thom Yorke has talked about his love for Boards of Canada many times, along with Aphex Twin, Autechre and the IDM genre as a whole.
Yeah geogaddi was 2002
These dates are fucked.
Yeah no, Geogaddi was not a 90s album but came out in early 2000s.
Do Americans even get this music? It's too weird for them.
these hipsters do
