Best Album?

For me, the best work of this two guys has to be Geogaddi its my absolutely favorite album, its so much weirder and darker than Music Has The Right To Children (wich i love very much too), but when i listen to Geogaddi with the lights off and just the earphones i get this mental images that are so weird and beatiful... only a few albums have done that for me in my life... i just love alfa and omega! it makes me think of an island and a group of people making tribal music.

I havent got Hi Scores! ... but after reading your post its now ordered from Amazon. Thanks for the recommendation!

All their stuff is great but my fave track is The Beach At Redpoint from Geogaddi.

I don't know, but Amo Bishop Roden is my favorite BoC song right now.

Amo Bishop Roden appears on 'In a Beautiful Place out in the Country'.
A great album, which also features 'Kid for Today', one of my favourite BoC tracks.
Although this album has just 4 tracks, so I don't think it would really count as one.
So I'll go with Music has the Right to Children. It was my first BoC album, and I think it had a significant influence in my musical taste.

Directine is such a great track.

I think I would have to go with A Beautiful Place Out in the Country, too. For me, it represents some of their most ambient and hypnotic work, which I love. However, I've yet to own Twoism or High Scores, so I'll reserve judgement on those for the time being.

'Everything you do is a balloon' is indeed an awesome, fantastic track! Everyone who hasnt got it should definitely get 'Hi Scores'... thanks again for the recommendation.
I realised I really need to listen to 'A beautiful place out in the country' again as well- that is definitely up there with MHTRTC in my opinion.

I think my favourite album changes from listen to listen, In a Beautiful Place out in the Country would probably be my current choice. Each track has its own distinctive beauty, yet the songs work well as a whole as well.
If I had to choose a full length, I reckon its Geogaddi for the moment...

Directine is such a great track.

btw the track is called Oirectine, with an "O" instead of "D"
and yes, Oirectine is one of BoC's greatest songs

i personally fave geogaddi and MHTRTC most, though i have their complete discography and i think all their songs are uniqie and worthy listening

Boards of Canada is religion! :P :)

i'd go for geogaddi, no doubt, the darkish, hypnotising sounds on that release are just great, MHTRTC is great too but Geogaddi is more my thing

when you listen to a track like The Devil is in the Details you simply get high without the herbs ^^

I'm really getting into BOC Maxima having got hold of it recently... its incredible of course, and seems somehow the archetypical Boards of Canada album, even more than MHTRTC (though it will be hard for any album to replace that as my favourite, and Geogaddi is a VERY close 2nd)... its really interesting hearing some of their older stuff, discovering new and classic BOC tracks is very exciting :-)

Geogaddi is my fav album, although it has its flaws (Gyroscope is just annoying). 1969 sounds like a hit tune from another galaxy and is prob the only song in the world i'll never get tired of hearing. I'm surprised so many people here also have Geogaddi as their fav, as most ppl i've spoken to tend to prefer MHTRTC. I really like everything BOC did before Campfire, including Hell Interface and the early demos.

I fully agree with coalescence that in a beautiful place in the country is flawless. But it's not a full album.
