I love your understanding of this album! and I agree that some tracks tend to be too short. It really has that nostalgic childhood feeling and it's very psychedelic. Definitely check out "The Campfire Headphase" by them. It is a lot more guitar based than synth based. Another album I recommend is "Moon Safari" by Air.
ROYGBIV is my fav song of all time. Boards if my fav music group of all time. They just wrote songs for all parts of my life on how I was feeling in those certain moments.
Coming from your Geogaddi reaction, here's a fun fact about aquarius: the numbers from 1 to 36 (when she breaks the pattern) all added together make 666.
Bro my first year with BoC was like your reaction, I liked some tracks but found some others very repetitive. One night I went to bed with Geogaddi on my MP3 player and there was a moment on You Could Feed the Sky that made me extremely emotional, from then on their music became an obsession for me, even after 20 years! I agree with @pablito that you would enjoy In a Beautiful Place out in the Country. Also don't miss out on their remixes: Poppy Seed, Poppy Seed Reprise and Dead Dogs Two are really good!
I can tell you're a hip-hop head not only because of the album covers in the background, but because you were trying to find meaning behind tracks such as Kaini Industries. That made me laugh a lot. Great reaction.
If you like ambient electronica you should give a listen to the man who defined the genre, Brian Eno. While still technically a rock album, "Another Green World" is a masterpiece and contains a number of instrumental, ambient tracks. His most famous ambient work "Ambient 1: Music for Airports" (1978) is probably too minimalistic for a decent reaction but is worth checking out.
I am so deeply in love with BoC's music and so starved for more of their output that I now look for enjoyment in other people hearing their stuff for the first time
Very cool video and very cool reaction. It's ok to feel sleepy listening to Boards Of Canada, it's definitely a band that i use to relax a lot. Fun fact: the track "One Very Important Thought" is a manipulated audio from a porn movie, were they just added "boards of canada" in the speech(also, a lot of very innocent samples from their tracks come from porn movies lol) If you are going to hear another BoC album i would suggest "The Campfire Headphase", that is mostly regarded(and frowned upon by elitist "fans") as their most acessible album. A album outside of BoC and IDM sphere i would suggest is "I'll try living like this" by Death Dynamics Shroud. It's a mix of experimental music, pop,vaporwave,plunderphonics and glitch that doesn't sound like anything i heard outside of this band.
It was an exciting time in electronic music when MHtRtC released. Arguably Downtempo was king with Ninja Tune and Mo'Wax setting the tone, but Boards of Canada really made waves with their debut. It was so esoteric and murky, but specific in that way, like you referred to, "nostalgic" and intriguing. People's ears were really open to experimentation and variations of the post-rave, electronic music movement, and so much of the music in that era really thrived on pushing boundaries. Give Squarepusher's "Feed Me Weird Things", Luke Vibert's "Big Soup", or the masterful megamix "Journeys By DJ Coldcut" a consideration for review. Loving your videos and your takes.
Watching these videos makes me realise I haven’t listened to these albums in waaaaay too long and they are a top 3 artist for me. Thanks for the trip down memory lane
"What?!.... a seagull?... why?!" Why indeed! Love this reaction! Please react to some older records by Oneohtrix point never. Since you seem to like the art of putting together an album, I would recommend listening to and researching the marketing ploy for his 2015 album "Garden of Delete" His older stuff relies heavily on arpeggiated synths and weird patterns but his never stuff is more cinematic and breathy but just as intense. Garden of Delete signifies his first real departure and exploration in style and it made for a damn listenable album even if a litte bit out there at times.
BRIAN BENNETT - VOYAGE 1978 is a Masterpiece of Classic Electronic Futuristic Cosmic Funk right from the very first track you're in for an amazing journey in to Space and Time with some very creative and funky tunes lots of awsome drumming and bass lines and talk about the ingenious use of the Synthesizers and other incredible Sci Fi soulful sound effects that were incorporated in to this amazing Album it's all organic sounds no computerized effects it's all done by pure talented musicians I highly recommend it for you to react to the whole album it's super fun classics.
I'm so happy that Open The Light seemed like your favorite track of the album. It definitely feels like waking up to breaking dawn shimmering mist dew on flower petals. But sir, let me just tell you: The Campfire Headphase is an incontestable chef-d'oeuvre and in my regards the absolute album from BoC (I'm ranking it #1 of all time, all music included. It's just that good.) I'm pleading you to give it an ear and make a review about it. This is THE album that makes you nostalgic about a past you probably never lived, and you cannot help but long for it as you're riding this rollercoaster of album.
I really like how sixtyten starts off kinda grovvy but like near the end it just gets really creppy sounding boards of canada arent really known for is randomly switching the feel and i really like how it does that
With Sixtyten I feel the words being said are weapon, no way, look out, oh my god, oh no and I’m not sure what else is being said. It’s either get off of me, they’re after me or what is happening and a name being called out and that is Johnny
there actually is an unreleased leaked alternate mix of roygbiv that sees the track clock in at 6 minutes. here’s the link! th-cam.com/video/2gUpmeRaih4/w-d-xo.html
@@smags1082 thanks man, keep reacting to boards albums and ur sure to get views since nobody reacts to their albums on TH-cam lol, I'll watch them all!
I can't with you bruh 🤨 You don't get to talk like this about one of the most important bands in the last 30 years You have no frame of reference to these sounds so they mean nothing to you
it's always boards of canada fans being the most pretentious when it comes to music like sit yo ass the fuck down and let people enjoy in their own way

@smags you're going to love Moon Safari
happy cycling is actually a bonus track, one very important thought is the “actual” closer.
gotta do dots and loops by stereolab!
Will do bro I got a lot on my plate rn lol so probably with in the next 3 videos
ROYGBIV is my fav song of all time. Boards if my fav music group of all time. They just wrote songs for all parts of my life on how I was feeling in those certain moments.

I think you're gonna like their EP, In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country, very beautiful, highly recommend it
Will definitely check it out
Yeah thats a great one. Definitely a "lights out, close your eyes" kind of EP.
Definitely a great choice…. More an intense short story than novels like this album. Yes a beautiful track for sure. 👌🏼🔥

Sesame Street never sounded so good!!
What? 😂
@@nour2146 BoC sampled Sesame Street on a few tracks of MHTRTC
@@KCNYC I know that now, I found a video compilation showing all the different samples used by Boards of Canada and where they came from

Yeah, I second the "Another Green World" suggestion. Think you would enjoy it.

please do the rest of their discography and EPs and all that :)
Roygbiv was the first BOC song I ever heard, it's so special to me. Rodox video gives me similar vibes, such a good song as well
I finally have a video to eat food to!
Love to hear thag
I've never heard of thag@@smags1082 .
i looove your analysis.. the funk you heard on aquarius was the bass line which is sampled from a hair song by the same name
Watching these videos makes me realise I haven’t listened to these albums in waaaaay too long and they are a top 3 artist for me. Thanks for the trip down memory lane
"What?!.... a seagull?... why?!" Why indeed! Love this reaction!

Replica is one of the coolest albums I’ve ever heard, def check it out

Love open the light
YOu were way more mellow this time around ahah, did you smoke a big'ol doink?
Nah but I wish
It’s a much more mellow album to be fair
If you loved the Roygbiv, there is an extended Alphaquest remix where there are an extended segment and an Alphaquest voice sample included.
Pete Standing Alone is actually the guy’s name.
12:31 homie was feeling the rhythm
I really like how sixtyten starts off kinda grovvy but like near the end it just gets really creppy sounding boards of canada arent really known for is randomly switching the feel and i really like how it does that
hey listen to Mezzanine by Massive Attack if you haven't already it's fucking incredible
Definitely will get to it at some point thanks for the recommendation!
I second that. Amazing album.
Third! He would love it.
With Sixtyten I feel the words being said are weapon, no way, look out, oh my god, oh no and I’m not sure what else is being said. It’s either get off of me, they’re after me or what is happening and a name being called out and that is Johnny
There actually is a song on the boards of canada ep in a beautiful place out in the country called kid for today which is an extended rework of olson
dude, I just love your Boards Of Canada videos
It doesnt need to switch, its ambient music
Album of the year 1998
There’s a mix I listen to, it’s BoC Half Awake Mix, one of my favourite is Poppy Seed
10:46 “I wish this one was 5 minutes” hoo boy do I got some news for you
I dont know if boc were taking inspiration from it but olson sounds alot like the sonic 3d blast theme specifically the youre my hero version
Hey dude, you should check "In a Beautiful Place Out In The Country" by BoC
Straight up art! If anyone were to ask me what art is... BOC
You might like Mogwai, worth investigating and plenty of albums.
I’d also suggest Authechre, Four Tet, and, Faex Optim
Enjoy your music journey
TH-camr seesong has an analysis video on their channel: "Why I love 'Music Has The Right To Children'" which I highly recommend.
Totally glossed over ending of Sixtyten.
You should do μ-Ziq Lunatic Harness and Royal Astronomy
aww u used to have 10 subs and now u have 5k :)
A few old tunes is their best work imo, highly reccomend. 5.9.78 is best track ever by boards
I have no idea how one can listen to 30 seconds of any BOC track and make a decision upon.
That's not how their music works.
there actually is an unreleased leaked alternate mix of roygbiv that sees the track clock in at 6 minutes. here’s the link! th-cam.com/video/2gUpmeRaih4/w-d-xo.html
Thanks bro this is awesome
Can I suggest an album reaction?
Yes absolutely what is it
@@smags1082 Escape from Noise by Negativland. Also just started watching your videos they are great
Thanks for the kind words bro. I promise I’ll check it out soon I got a lot of stuff to cover
Now for your next play through you'll need some🍄
Hey if you're looking for some more info about boards of canada I made an hour long video about this album lol
Beautiful video bro
@@smags1082 thanks man, keep reacting to boards albums and ur sure to get views since nobody reacts to their albums on TH-cam lol, I'll watch them all!
@@iamacookie6 i literally just watched your video then found this channel lmao
