Their best work to date. The world's current crisis filtered through a radio-transmission as received by some lazy gnostic entity who still wants to feel compassion for the plight of gaia.. the way slaves would sing the blues to feel better about their individual lives, boards of canada sings the metaphysical blues to feel better about the course of humanity, or maybe even the poor souls who feel stuck in a time and place that seems antithetical to their heart's desire. We are all in this together, and BoC reminds us that there is a harvest on the horizon.

Matthew Unburdened is still the most siblime peice of music I've ever heard. It was the first time I was introduced in my own mind to the concept or feeling of a peice of music zooming out from itself and observing itself as a slowly rotating sphere of energy. I know that there is a god and she loves us all thanks to that track.

I adore this album. Have you ever driven a car on the highway? This is all the pleasure of that feeling distilled to its most authentic essence. However, replace the car with your body-soul and the highway with your linear-time life, and viola. You got a kind of IMMACULATE GROOVE. It is trying to sweep you into it's momentum, and it does so. The moon is trying to make us all disco dance to our night-time lives, apparently. Thanks, THE ORB, for pointing that out.

Absolutely incredible. The lack of consistent rhythmic pulse to the work adds to its ethereal flavour. It sounds like a Grimm Fairy tale that got electrified with DSP magic. "Velvet Owl" in particular sounds like it's going a certain direction and then suddenly you feel yourself practically leaving your body. I was listening to this in bed for the first time and I got these intense shivers of fear, but a welcome kind.. the kind meant to disrupt your ego from its stagnant patterns with its dark mystical fire. This is going to be on heavy rotation for awhile. Check this album out. The art is a great jumping-off point for the imagination too. Amon is a genius.

Imagine a world where the flowers spoke to you with love, the trees swayed in alliance. This is the sonic equivalent of that feeling. The palace caverns that occupy some of the seemingly 'darker' spaces of this album are also intensely cozy in their own way. The more obviously life affirming sequences also dive into something transcending sentimentalism and yet still emotionally stirring. Some native-american vocal or something akin to it on one of the tracks has remained my favortite thing to share to some one to remind them that they have a soul. A lot of these tracks seem to want to take place in the clouds. "Try Channel Nine" The Orb excels in this kind of semi-ambient texture. Wish they would do more of it. Their Resident Advisor album is on parr with this. Worth checking out.

Butterfly Prowler alone is enough to embed this gem into the akashic records of the eon through sheer hyperfunk flow alone. Peak Magnetic attempts to distill theosophy into a tune. After hoova has traumatized your childhood, the rest of the album collapses into the apocalypse - individual or national, doesn't really matter. If children are our ancestors, it's probably best that we become proper adults.
