    One thing I like about BoC is that they're British - it's nice for something so awesome to be something home grown, rather than the usual American or whatever.
    Not British...Scottish!

    Great band, been into 'em for a while.
    Also check out Mogwai, Royksopp and Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

    I was very careful about that, and I was technically correct - but I couldn't say "homegrown" and then say they were Scottish, is I'd have been lying

    Royksopp are a one hit wonder for me with regards to albums. Melody A.M. was brilliant. Then it all fell apart. Saw Mogwai last year on the Atomic tour. Not heard of your last recommendation.

    I'm quite a big fan of electronic music including Boards of Canada. Their Peel sessions EP on Warp Records is particularly nice.
    Ulrich Schnauss Faraway Trains Passing By is a very nice album if you wanted to dip your toe

    I've only listened to the album Signalling The Stars so far, but these guys are very BoC!

    Music has the right to children is their best I'd say, but I do like the campfire headphase (Dayvan cowboy)

    But there are many similar acts like blue states, etc, that are just as good as b of c.

    Boards are OK.

    Check out Dubmission Records on Bandcamp.

    Pitch Black - Filtered Senses and the rest of their stuff is better than The Boards IMHO.

    Today I came across Shulman - ALive and that is interesting and good.

    TIDAL have quite a bit of the Dubmission stuff.

    Neither quite the same as the Boards but not that far off.
