Rating: - Chilled, relaxing, and endlessly beautiful.
The songs on the In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country EP were taken from the Geogaddi sessions, which yielded the dark, schizophrenic final product of said album. However, the songs on the Beautiful Place EP are slightly more listenable than the songs on Geogaddi, although they do have their fair share of unsettling details. The title track features a sample from a religious recruitment recording, and the second track's name is a play off of Branch Davidian leader Amos Poe Rodan (thanks for that info, Shawn). But these subtle hints of perversity do not hinder the aural beauty of this EP. All four songs are crafted simply wonderfully. As the first track, Kid For Today, suggests, listening to the disk is like taking a time machine in two different directions. All of the songs sound innocent in their underlying melodies, yet still have a curious undercurrent of mysteriousness. Also present is a balance between nature ... Read More
Rating: - Just an EP, but crucial BOC
I got this cd upon reading reviews here on Amazon and being a fan of much of what BOC has done in the past. It seemed like just a small risk but boy did it pay off. I agree with what most of the posters have said of this album an its certainly a crucial offering if you're a fan or even a beginner wanting to try them out but not a take a full leap into a whole album. The first 3 songs are magnificent, each one being incredibly relaxed and repetetive but never boring. Its amazing how tracks that seem so simple can draw you in and hold on so tightly throughout the songs. The only negative is the 4th track which is why I can't give it the full 5 stars. I just found that one uninspired. BUT, the other tracks are some of the best they've ever released.
Rating: - 21st century update on 1970s "Berlin School" electronica
This 2000 release by Scottish electronica duo Boards of Canada is simply excellent. As a fan of 1970s electronica (Tangerine Dream; Klaus Schulze etc) and other styles including minimalism, I was delighted by the spacey, brooding musical landscapes and the analog sound of their music.
The instrumentation on the album includes synthesizers; a drum machine and other electronic effects/processing, along with the occasional found sound e.g. laughing children, and a heavily altered vocal snippet on the title track (this music is predominantly instrumental). The synth tone colors that these guys select are very warm and organic sounding - even the drum machine sounds natural and not at all mechanical.
Although this EP is a bit short at 24:00 minutes in total length, it packs a lot of gloomy texture and mood into that short time and as such seems to last a lot longer (sometimes I will simply just ... Read More
Rating: - Wow!!!
Having sampled this through listen samples only and being encouraged to order this album by positive reviews by others, I went ahead and ordered this CD. Let's just say it's smooth, jazzy, jungley, spacey, so many other juicy happy beats I could think of but won't take up the whole page to list. It's really fun with feel good beats. I love an album that you can put on and let it repeat a few times from start to finish and you don't mind....... it's that good.
