Geogaddi by Boards of Canada (WarpCD101)

text

'Music has a right to children' was a grower and Geogaddi didnt live up to it at first, because its a grower too. Its some testimony when you're hardest criticism is your own gold standard. Keep listening, its one of those rare buys. A safe bet. An album you can enjoy as much as their last release. For the newcomer or intrigued listener: I was a little put off at first because its so mechanical but its like the first time you're introduced to any new style or genre; what at first seems off putting eventually becomes the reason you cant stop listening. In time it sounds so natural, like life and nature distilled through technology. So bare and beautiful. I cant imagining dancing to it, but occasional head-bopping and chair grooving is inevitable. Its like taking control of the noise around you and giving it melody.
