Boards of Canada Sparkle Motion - The Borderland State

Kind of an update to One Voice In The Cosmic Fugue, this mix features nostalgic synth music that evokes images of the hypercolor retro future of the early 1980s. Mostly new tracks that deliver a twisted approach on neon glowing, tape hiss laden new age. Dedicated to the borderland state of sleep and wakefulness, this one is for those hypnagogic states where you're half dreaming.

 

Yes, that's right, Enya is on this mix and it is going to blow your mind.

Thanks for listening guys, hope you like it! This was a fun theme to work with and have a feeling this is going to eventually enter my list of mixes to happily drift off to.

 

Been feeling very creative lately and am working on 5 new mixes right now, all different styles. Hoping to release one a month, so stay tuned for more Sparkle Motion. Very excited about the next one, all I can say is that it'll be very different from the usual!

lovely mix

Cheers guys!
