No one?!
Me and Perks are disgusted at the lack of people here with good taste!
FOR SHAME!

Never heard of 'em. Sorry.


Watch the vid (Fanmade, but I prefer it to the original video) and then harass either me or Perks via AIM to send stuff :p

AMAZING band.

Boards of Canada are pretty good btw. Nice and relaxing the sample you asked me to try.

You realise this is not the kind of forum where you'd find lots of people who have heard of misc underground bands like this. Most of the people here are more game/anime fans than they are music fans.

They're from Scotland, they're one of the biggest/important electronic groups in the world, despite their lack of advertising and interviews.
They've been making albums since 1987.

Just because you haven't heard of them doesn't mean they aint huge.

And it's fun to force musical knowledge on other people! And it gets you attention from the opposite\same genders! As do Natalie Dee t-shirts...

(seriously, my site's a bit popular at college nowadays, which is lovely and odd at the same time.)

Surely "huge" is when you menction the name on the street and people know who your talking about. Sorry I don't follow the electronic music scene like you guys do! :g-Rolleyes:

I'm with Gaga on this one. When you talk about the most important electronic groups in the world the first thing that comes to mind is 'Kraftwerk'. Which I enjoy hugely.

This? Drink Canada dry or whatever they are called. It's not fantastic by any means. Yet it's not crap.

I don't have a very big album collection anyway. Hmph!

Hmm, not bad. Though I do prefer a more upbeat rhythm.

The Geogaddi album is more upbeat. Campfire Headphase is really trippy and melow.
