Boards of Canada Moody Mixtape

A few friends don’t quite understand my obsession with Boards of Canada, so I’ve quickly put together a mixtape of some of my favourite Boards of Canada tracks (more on the moody side of things). This is the group that really kick-started my obsession with minimal/ ambient electro, amazing layered loops, the use of samplings and some kind of appreciation for noise with emotion you really can’t get elsewhere.

I did a post ages ago with a Boards of Canada mash-up also worthy of attention.

I quite like the Soft Moon; kind of an unapologetic post-industrial, shoegazer sound (that is probably as far as my music tastebuds take me). When I heard on FBI they were doing a remix of a song from Trent Rezner’s projects, I thought damn.

Here’s the result. And turn up your volume dial.
