Boards Of Canada…

[V1nce Fox]

Anyone?

[cherryowen]

This lot?





Never heard of them before, but based on ^ those I'm liking their work plenty.

[Super Sonic]

Likey. Actually Scottish iirc. On Warp, same label as Autechre. "Nothing is Real" is a top tune.

[V1nce Fox]

Bloody love them. Watched great documentary past night about them, genuinely impressive how much thought they’ve put into every aspect of their work.

[Iamnotkloot]

Been listening to Dayvan Cowboy for, oh I dunno, about 15 years now. Love it.

Weirdly, didn't know they were Scottish.....

[blindspot]

Yes. Also Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky.

[Deranged Rover]

"Orange......."

Yep, can clearly hear that.

Was amazed how many easter eggs and layered nuanced stuff is behind their work.

[Stick Legs]

Amazing.

Love their stuff.

I have a couple of their albums. I think I admire, rather than like them.

My son loves roygbiv.

I only found out that was named after the colours of the rainbow last week.

Ah well.

[Gweeds]

Love them - Telephasic Workshop on headphones is sublime

Loved the first two albums. Great soundtrack as a train passenger and seeing the world go by. Not too keen on the third album.

I recently learned that the vocal sample in Roygbiv is a kid saying "Lake", rather than "Elaine", as it has been in my head for about 20 years

[rodericb]

Yeah they're great. I've got most of the stuff they've released.

If you're a fan of this sort of stuff then also check out 65 Days of Static and M83

Tycho is my summer motorbike commuting soundtrack.

This is turning into a synth/electronica thread

Scrolled down to say this. Been listening to Tycho for years, man is a genius. He also does good DJ sets which are all on soundcloud. I didn't much like the effort from a couple of years ago with the female singer but they do an instrumental version too!
