Maybe it's me. Maybe Boards of Canada and me are not compatible, but I saw no reason to continue what was, for me, a disappointing and quite annoying experience.

That's how I felt when duga recommended The Campfire Headphase to me back in 2010 when I had first started actively using this site.

Years later it's one of my favorite albums. Give it time.

Love this album. Jacquard Causeway is my favorite track. 5/5

Have to say I've never been a massive Boards of Canada fan, I've always wanted to like them more than I ever actually did. This album hasn't done much to change it for me, I dunno, I just can't force myself through it. Sometimes music stands out to me better in different situations, if I'm traveling or at the gym or in a car, maybe one of those will help, but right now sitting down it just sends me to sleep.

I feel like "Tomorrow's Harvest" is more condensed, and when all of the layers of a song have been established, it ends. Case in point, the vocal samples coming in on "Palace Posy" almost near the end, the drum layers finally coming together into a danceable jam in "Reach For The Dead in the last 45 seconds only to abruptly end. I don't mean the entire album is like this, but it feels as if pop out tracks are noticeably shorter (only two going over 5 minutes on the whole album), and don't sprawl out.

Good to listen an enjoyable album

Man, these guys can make good beats when they need to
Also this is synth porn of the highest degree.
