Boards Of Canada In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country CD

 Quality
Four quality tracks. They may not be breaking any new ground here but who cares because BOC show a consistency that is as good as anyone. If a few more EPs were released that would be great as we wouldn't have to wait so long between LPs.

 The Perfect Bedtime Story
I Love This Album Too Death. It's Sad But Truly Beautiful, And By Far Their Best Album (Better Than "Music.."). It's Part Of My Nightly Routine (Along With Sigur Ros And God Speed..).

 Simply Amazing Minimal Bliss!!!!
This is a darker minimal effort from the Scottish duo Boards Of Canada, and probely one of the most beutiful releases ever. It opens with Kid For Today which is breathtakingly smooth with little jazzy analougish synths filtering here and there..... It has a childish appeal and will draw you into it's simple minimal stucture. Amo Bishop Roden is also really nice with a simple little pop bass that almost has a spy movie feel. The track keeps itself so low-key, yet will remain with you in your subcocious. A Beautiful Place Out In The Country is probely one of the most special BOC moments to me with a haunting synth melody, neat breakbeat, little child laughs, and a wonderfully vocoded voice that calls you to "Come out and live in a religious community in a beautiful place out in the country." This is pure minimal bliss and will have an effect on you. Good or bad is up too you. Zoetrope- Personally, I thought this track was kind of boring, however I still gave the E.P. 5 stars as the other tracks more than make up for what Zoetrope wasn't able to deliver. Trust me on this one, next to Music Has The Right To Children this one is a must own!!!!
