Boards of Canada Music like Boards of Canada

BoC often makes me realize that there is more beauty in the everyday, whether I'm looking out a train window at a distant skyline or across green fields and open skies. (I have several playlists that I used whenever I returned to my childhome, too, so there's a nostalgia aspect as well in some cases.)

For that kind of experience, I recommend:

Michael Rother (Flammende Herzen, Katzenmusik)

Memory Tapes (esp. the song "Run Out," though I'm whisked away to proto-1993 rather than '73)

Washed Out ("Good Luck", etc)

Brian Eno & Harold Budd (Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirror)

Others have mentioned what I would've (Bibio - "Fi"; Freescha - "Kids Fill the Floor"; Christ.; etc), but none of them successfully emulate BoC in any meaningful way.

Happy hunting.

I disagree greatly.

I also dislike Tycho so much.

and wowholyfuck, that clubroot track someone dropped on the other page. seeking for that right now!

Idk if it was suggested, but Odd Nosdam's later albums are down-tempo-y. Level Live Wires is nice, Burner is really droney, and Pretty Swell Explode has two remixes of Dayvan Cowboy + other good tracks.

Also, grab the Hell Interface track off of the Whine and Missingtoe album on V/vm test records, I'm sure you can get it for free off of there.
