geogaddi

[kungfoo]

damn.. i've heard this album now for a 10000000 times and it still gets me excited. i don't know, but is this album probably the best electronic music album ever? at least for me it's one of the main influcences made on my understanding of music at all. i don't wanna hype or anything. it's just so much perfection in this LP...

[KaOz]

i love em.... they have a truly original sound. better then FSOL now

[Theindigo]

yes, verry good disk! surely one of the best listening-elektro albums ever. i like even the tresor.196, but its more to dance..

[Ruben A]

hehe funny, i am listening now.. and then I saw this thread. Yes, love this album aswell! Really a unique compilation of tracks that reminds me of my childhood - probably like it was meant to?

[Weishaupt]

hehe...i remember when we heard the album on the day after nye..
this album is fantastic....
i know what it means to ya..

what are you talking about? isn't this about boards of canada? last time i checked they didn't do anything on tresor or even electro for that matter...

I think he was just comparing the greatness of geogaddi to tresor 196 which incidentally is shifted phases: the cosmic memoirs of the late great rupert j. rosinthrope (by drexciya). kungfoo had asked is goegaddi the greatest electronic album ever and that is where the comparison came from.



geogaddi is a great album, but personally I finding bola: gnayse to be a bit off BOC killer.

They are nowhere near as good as FSOL.

They've had a few nice moments, on High Scores and Music has the right, but most of their tracks all sound the same and Geogaddi I thought was a complete let down.

Geodaddi is an excellent electronic music album.

[nikrem]

geogaddi was one of the albums that formed the soundtrack to the birth of our daughter. i therefore have quite a soft spot for it (and it's predecessors).

i don't however see the point in comparing it in terms of quality to drexciya/bola/whoever. it's not a competition. it exists and will continue to do so in it's own right, in the ears and mind of the beholder.

A very valid point.

have the same feeling, although their tracks are quite similar i can listen to it all the time...

[MUX]

i gre up of the mentioned 'boards of canada' documentaries as well..

[Paddy]

'the beach at redpoint' is my favourite track on geodaddi.

[JE:5]

Dawn chorus, the devil is in the details and gyroscope are my faves. I'm sure Gyroscope uses a sample of a numbers station and I love the pitch drift in dawn chorus.

[kungfoo]

i also count "the beach of redpoint" to my favourites.. you can litteraly feel the fresh breeze from the ocean :)
anyway, i rarely listen to only one track of this album.. for me it's more like one whole sinfonia.

word!
i love this album....

[johnny]

i prefered music has the rights myself, but yeh it's an awesome album.

[Hagbard]

I don't really listen to BOC but they get some lovely melancholy sounds out of their synths.

[Lady E]

i have to admit, im not that keen on 'music...' i got there a bit late maybe.

geogaddi i dont think i have actually ever heard. i like the cover though.

:D

you must check it out emma. it is a fantastic piece of music.

[kungfoo]

yea.. sit back in your most comfortable armchair and enjoy :>

[Hagbard]

I like some of their really short tracks, but I find it starts to get Elevator Muzak really quick.

I've got a few things by BOC (including Geogaddi), but I must say I tend to agree with Steev on this one..... Very nice music a lot of the time, but not as ground breaking as a lot of the hype would suggest.

I do love that EP on Skam though.

thank you, youre right

[goone]

its ok

[Bobby Cleaver]

Yea geodaddi, is pretty good but aint listened to it as much as 'music has a right...' But my favourite BOC track is definately the hip hop track on the high scores ep.

Their Hell interface tracks on the MASK comps are crazy good, especially the 1 on MASK 200 which samples Trapped by Colonel Abrams.

[gunjack]

i have never heard anything by boc.

[JE:5]

Well, i've converted my dad to BOC now! lol

yea i'd like a copy as well but it would be super expensive, thats if you can even find one to buy.

[gunjack]

the thing is, that there was so much hype about them, for so long, that it was a real turn off for me and i never had any desire to be one of those "idm" kinds, you know? everybody i hang out with listens to jazz and gangsta rap lol

but yea i guess i will try to DL something to peep from them right now....

[KaOz]
