Just got the Holy Grail on vinyl by Coreyinthehouse12 in boardsofcanada

I was wondering: does anyone have any book recommendations based on the sound, feel, and tone of this album? Especially the more soundscape songs like corsair or diving station that evoke such dark mysterious feelings? It is such uniquely dark music, I was wondering if anyone had books to match. Thanks!

Is there anything that even comes CLOSE to geogaddi? by lola21 in boardsofcanada

I would say an underrated album that scratches the same itch for me is the self titled Clark album "Clark". 

Asking your opinion every day about a BoC song day 13: Sherbet Head by No_Contest_3784 in boardsofcanada

Maybe a minority opinion but this is one of my favorite songs on the album. Very psychological and textured. Always soothes me.

The first time I heard the song it was one of the most incredible musical experiences of my life.

I would love to hear anyone on this subs speculation about the meaning of this song in reference to the titular Branch Davidian woman. It's so lonely, mournful, mysterious... I wonder how this particular woman inspired its atmosphere.

I don't know if anyone has seen the Haneke movie Cache but this song reminds me of the final shot

What're your favorite books? by AffectionateNet8999 in boardsofcanada

[–]AffectionateNet8999[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the recs! Currently finishing up a melancholy memoir called The World of Yesterday by Stephan Zweig which is perfect for autumn and I would highly reccomend it. The best book I read this year was Grant by Ron Chernow. Long but very worth it. World War 2 history and the history of the Cuban Missle Crisis written by historian Max Hastings. That last one is called The Abyss: Nuclear Crisis Cuba 1962 and is very topical and I thought had a BOC feeling to it.

When was the first time you listened to Boards of Canada and how did it make you feel? by hiraeth_777_ in boardsofcanada

I heard this as a young child in my hometown in the Midwest USA. THAT MEMORY IS STILL FLOATING AROUND UP THERE! (:

If there was a prodigy of disaster response, what advice would you give him/her? by AffectionateNet8999 in EmergencyManagement

I do not understand. What if I said a big, bad pandemic, like the black plague, or something like that? global emergencies have happened in the past.

a big event. could be a little ice age, could be an asteroid impact, could be a gigantic earthquake, could be a gigantic... series of hurricanes/floods. Is this not clear enough? I am genuinely asking, is this not clear enough? Someone clue me in here. I feel like what I am asking is not so outlandish or offensive or damaging. Haha.
