		Geogaddi, like Boards of Canada's 1998 debut album, Music Has the Right to Children, drifts its way into consciousness, rolling a fog of dark-hued psychedelia over slow-burning, lullaby melodies.
		Geogaddi is sort of torn between two natures - psychadelic, otherwordly rhythms (see "Gyroscope") and warm, melodic progressions.
		Geogaddi is a great album but pales in comparison to the glorious "Music has the Right to Children." Maybe it's the indie kids who gave bad reviews with statements about how they...

	Geogaddi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Geogaddi is a 2002 album by electronic music duo Boards of Canada.
		Geogaddi is a record for some sort of trial-by-fire, a claustrophobic, twisting journey that takes you into some pretty dark experiences before you reach the open air again.
		His reasoning behind it was to joke around with the listeners and make them believe that the Devil had created the album.

	* Dusted Reviews - Boards of Canada *
		In fact, Geogaddi falls somewhere in between these two possibilities, and we were fools for ever having doubted them because this is a god damned great album.
		While Geogaddi is fairly low-key, all of the qualities with which Boards of Canada are identified are still present.
		Syncopation and clipping are not as prominent on Geogaddi as they were on Children but their subtle and frequent presence is crucial to each song's character and presence.

	spaceboss.net :: recenze :: Boards Of Canada - Geogaddi
		Geogaddi ovšem není jenom album složené z táhlých zvukových ploch a pomalých rytmů, které se slévají v jeden kompaktní celek, ale z desky vystupuje hned několik výrazných nahrávek, které mají svůj vlastní život a mohou dokonale fungovat i v samostatné, dejme tomu singlové podobě.
		Geogaddi je deska, kterou lze opravdu jen těžko nějak zaškatulkovat, přichází s prvky ambientu, triphopu, new age, hiphopu a psychedelie, ale myslím si, že nějaké zařazování nemá ani cenu - je to zkrátka deska, která vám na více jak hodinu nabízí jedinečný výlet do neznámých galaxií, nových dimenzí a jiných stupňů vědomí.
		Album Geogaddi je rozhodně tím nejlepším, co Boards of Canada až dosud vyprodukovali a byla by velká škoda, kdybyste tuto lahůdku ignorovali.

		Geogaddi - the feast - is a ten-course meal interspersed with twelve sonic sorbets and concluding with a very flat after-dinner joke (see below).
		In Geogaddi, they contextualise the more substantial tracks in a properly palate-cleansing kind of way, but their generic tiny strangenesses command the kind of respect reserved only for the Nicholas Hillyards of the miniaturists conclave.
		Geogaddi is truly a feast - as varied, tasty, entertaining, and nourishing as you could wish for.

		Not only is Geogaddi an innovative, creative, and extraordinarily recorded ambient electronic/IDM/psychedelic album, but the amount of different layers of simultaneous expression and stimuli reveal underlying themes which pontificate to an audience willing to read between the lines.
		Geogaddi, essentially, is a work about the relationship between man and spirituality, the supernatural and the pragmatic, and nature and technology - each citing the different reactions humans have toward the surrounding phenomena.
		Geogaddi contains 23 songs - ten traditional duration songs (three to five minutes), with the remaining tracks serving as sonic experiments or segues between movements.

	Boards Of Canada: Geogaddi (2002): Reviews
		Geogaddi is even more stripped-down and beautiful than Music Has..., BOC using simple circular rhythms and eerie samples to create an airless, ethereal ultraworld.
		Geogaddi is marvelously vague, as unconcerned with the real world as gangsta rap is obsessed with it.
		Just like KID A two years before it, GEOGADDI is an electronica masterpiece, not because you can instantly pluck a handful of classics out of its tracklisting, but instead because it is an album in its truest form; it reveals its many layers with each listen.

		The song “In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country” features the repeated vocals "Come out, and live in a religious community in a beautiful place out in the country." Another, “Amo Bishop Roden”, is named after the Branch Davidian member of the same name.
		Geogaddi's development involved the creation of 400 song fragments and 64 complete songs, of which 23 were selected, one of which is silence.
		This piece is not commercially available but a portion of this track seems to be sampled on A is to B as B is to C from the Geogaddi album.

	The Oberlin Review Online
		Geogaddi, their anticipated new release, showcases the group’s attention to sound quality, pitch control and harmonization in order to create exceptional electronic textures.
		The pieces on Geogaddi stand out in the genre mostly because of their focus on melody and the bittersweet tonal patterns they create.
		Geogaddi is probably the best work by Boards of Canada and one of the better electronic music releases this year.

	Boards of Canada: Geogaddi: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		As similar as this album is to the rest of the band's catalog, it seems a safe speculation that the concept of "reinvention" is not part of the Boards of Canada M.O. Their exceptionally distinctive and oft-imitated sound emerged fully formed on the early EPs, and for now, at least, they're sticking with it.
		On Geogaddi, Boards of Canada have replaced silence with the drone, and the master tapes are saturated with the sounds of the duo's customized machinery.
		In its place, we find the swirling claustrophobic winds of "Julie and Candy," menacing swells of feedback anchoring the rhythm of "Dawn Chorus," and the lonely, isolated Nuno Cannavaro-isms of "The Devil Is in the Details," whose two sampled voices are a crying baby and a monolog given by a woman who might be drowning.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Boards of Canada: Geogaddi
		As a result, Geogaddi is one of the most eagerly anticipated electronic albums of 2002.
		Geogaddi, however, offers no grand payoff in the weirdness stakes; it wants to be pretty.
		BoC's extensive use of found vocals gives the music an extra layer of complexity; beyond the rhythm and melody, both of which beg for appropriate deconstruction, there's that supplemental burst of information, crying out to be deciphered and contextualized.

		An excited buzz filled my head and the air around me as I picked up the CD and my trusty headphones and began to walk, exploring new neighborhoods, seeking those familiar feelings that had tugged at me one year before.
		The experience was not disagreeable; Geogaddi proved to be a fitting soundtrack to my journey.
		As I slowly began to deconstruct Geogaddi, it began to do the same to me. Letting go of expectations was necessary, and vaguely painful.

	Geogaddi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Geogaddi (released February 2002) is the second album release from the enigmatic Boards Of Canada.
		Although initially receiving mixed reviews in its opening year, (critics were unimpressed by the lack of "development" since 1998's Music Has The Right To Children) Geogaddi has grown as a strong fan favorite due to the hidden depth of the record.
		As supported by the band, the theme of this album continues on from the innocent, child-like bliss of the debut into darker territory; concering itself with haunting references to horned gods ("You Could Feel The Sky") and cultism ("1969").

	EARLASH : Album Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Writing a review on Geogaddi is a task that I reluctantly took up, not because I don't want to write about it, but because I have so much to say about the Scottish duo of Marcus Eoin and Michael Sandison, and their newest creation, that I don't know where to begin.
		The word "Geogaddi" is created from the Latin roots of "geo" (earth), "gad" (to run wild, uncontrolled), and "di" (two).
		Geogaddi may be a little more static than BoC's past releases, but it's just as effective and powerful, and it's a million times more conceptually and musically complex.

		Here finally is Geogaddi, the long awaited full length from one of the most original names on the Warp roster.
		Geogaddi is another step in the direction BoC are heading; it does not challenge expectations or "break new ground" in that popular sense, it is part of the whole flow that is BoC music, and urges one to look at that whole instead of the parts in it.
		Now that there's Geogaddi, BoC as a phenomenon is something else, something different, and that's where to look now.

	BBC - Experimental Review - Boards of Canada, The Campfire Headphase
		Geogaddi certainly took the longest time to sink in for me of all their material.
		I think when I first got Geogaddi I was hoping for it to be more like MHTRTC (or even Campfire Headphase) which carry a more nostalgic tone for me. Didn't 'get it' for at least a few months, until it snuck its way to my iTunes rotation countless late evenings.
		Geogaddi severely lacked in all those components, serving up flat references to the band's own cult instead.

	+++ neumu [ needle drops ]
		During the past four years, Boards of Canada have released one EP for Warp and made a handful of compilation appearances, but for the most part they've left rabid fans salivating for another fix of their mournful, synaesthetic downtempo.
		And of course, the likeliest path to that kind of transcendence is almost always found in an undiscovered artist, or better yet an unheard genre, when the sounds seem to have arrived fully formed from some intergalactic broadcast.
		Geogaddi continues the obsession with tone color and marries it to a more extensive psychedelic edge (hence titles like "Sunshine Recorder," "Dandelion," "Dawn Chorus," "Magic Window," and the Lucy-in-the-sky literalism of the refrain, "1969 in the sunshine").

		Marcus Eoin and Michael Sandison have inspired a rare dedication, but, granted the unstable, unique beauty of BOC's output (1998's Music Has The Right To Children is an ambient scatter-beats classic everyone should hear at least once before they die), it's understandable.
		So in some ways, the long-awaited Geogaddi comes with a set of expectations almost impossible to live up to.
		Echoing Music's format, numerous short slivers of composition surround epics (seven of the 23 tracks are more than five minutes long, and many others are under 1:30), with analog keyboards, romantic post-hip-hop beats, samples of innocent infant speak and nature-show narration dominating.

	the wood : Boards of Canada - Geogaddi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Geogaddi, like 1998’s Music Has the Right to Children before it, relishes in this sort of emotional and aesthetic limbo, always laying somewhere between blissful happiness and melancholy (if not total paranoia).
		Hearing this, it doesn’t seem much of a stretch to declare Geogaddi the beginning of a Pop-Surrealism movement.
		Let this be said, hopefully before you’ve purchased the album: Geogaddi is incredibly addicting, mostly for the reason that its sound is absolutely like nothing you’ve likely ever heard before (except, perhaps earlier work by Boards of Canada, and this might be the only complaint one could really level against the duo at this point).

	Amazon.ca: Geogaddi: Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		But more than anything, Geogaddi is about the feelings that linger when the music fades out--a surprisingly vivid sense of warm melancholy that puts an intriguing spin on the currently fashionable chill-out sound.
		They have been developing their sound for over 20 years(believe it or not, Marcus And Mike were about 10 when they made their first attempts to compose music in a primitive form of what they are doing now).
		Geogaddi is a well-made record, but somehow in the reverse way.

		Personally, I think "Geogaddi" sounds exactly like what it is: the successor to "Music has the Right to Children".
		Obsessive is still the word for their style of musical progression, and the character of their sound is as cohesive as much as it is (at times, overly) processed.
		Several new elements in the duo's songs finally emerge, such as a vocoder and even a track which has double-time samples in it verging on drum & bass, but overall the tracks are surprisingly familiar, which helps add to the near-visceral appeal of the album.

	Boards Of Canada - Geogaddi (Limited Edition)
		There is only one version of "geogaddi" I can really recommend: the Japanese Import Edition featuring "from one source all things depend." a 2:10 track featuring kids praying to and telling us about their individual "God" (the source...).
		Sometimes I'll play Geogaddi on a different set of speakers and hear a new melody or sample that has previously been buried.
		Geogaddi scares me but I can't stop listening to it.

	BOARDS OF CANADA - Geogaddi
		Brilliant though that album was, you still felt Boards Of Canada had alot more to offer, however, after the release of Geogaddi, one is left with exactly the same feeling as before.
		This is not a bad thing, because, like its predecessor, Geogaddi does not disappoint and pretty much continues to provide more of the same intelligent, mysterious electronica as previously.
		Throw in a handful of ambient-style minature compisitions and you fast realise that whilst Geogaddi takes a little more time to grow on you that 'Music Has The Right To Children', its every bit as good, if not better.

	Boards of Canada: Geogaddi - PopMatters Music Review
		Eoin and Sandison, fresh with the warm shower of critical approval, then released a couple of EPs in 1999 and 2000, but disappeared for two years to their reclusive commune lifestyle.
		But after the first 10 minutes, it becomes apparent that Geogaddi has a naturalism that the duo had previously attempted to find but was unable to fully grasp.
		Boards of Canada's unique style of composition blends the psychedelic with the electronic, the organic with the heavily processed, the (seemingly) analog with the digital to form an undeniable beauty.
