The Boards of Canada are incredibly not from Canada.....they are from Scotland and are the genius of the duo of Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin. This electronic duo released their landmark album in 1998 with "Music has the right to children" which was a groundbreaking album that still is copied and mimiced today. Their music is perhaps best described as warm electronica.......and always hugely thought provoking. Their music is picturesque and full of deep imagery.
The campfire headphase was their 3rd full length album and was a bit of a departure from their patented sound and approach. I would say this album is a lot less organic sounding and more produced. The good news is that the electronic grace is all still here and the beauty of their music has not altered.
I would not suggest putting this album on for a dinner party but if want to zone out and chill for an hour you cant go wrong with this album. I am personally a big fan of this band and have all their music in my collection and this album holds a special spot in my heart.
