Another "electronica" entry in my favorites list, Boards of Canada are a Scottish duo who ply a very unique and interesting sound.

Much of this recording could be fairly described as "ambient", being subtle and introspective. There are many short tracks under 2 minutes. But the best tracks are longer and more fleshed out. "The Beach at Redpoint" sounds like an organic train rolling over you as a melodramatic orchestra plays fanfare. "The Devil is in the Details" sounds like a positive hypnosis suggestion delivered with sinister detachment. Many of these tracks evoke a peaceful tranquil feeling, others a feeling that the peace is about to be shattered.

It was hard to choose a favorite recording from Boards of Canada, each of their LPs and EPs is very good if not great.
