-This was indeed the case with ''[[Music Has The Right To Children]]'' ('98). The official debut came quietly, began to grow slowly, and has now reached almost mythical proportions. It is a modern classic, timeless and genreless. Pure beauty, nostalgia, and mystique captured in abstract beats, warm synthesizers, comforting melodies, and alienating children's voices: distorted, cut up, and played backward. Music for a fairy tale that ends badly. Playful, innocent, but with a dark undertone. Bit by bit, the mystery around the creators also unfolded. [[Mike Sandison]] and [[Marcus Eoin]] supposedly. Two recluses from Scotland, it soon became clear. As children, they both emigrated to [[wikipedia:Alberta|Alberta]], where they spent hours glued to the TV, mesmerized by the images and music of the [[wikipedia:National Film Board Of Canada|National Film Board Of Canada]] nature documentaries. The background music of these films still serves as a significant influence on their own work. Via a stopover in southern England, the two (no family relation) returned to the east coast of Scotland in the early '80s. They have been playing together in a band since '86. Between '92 and '94, they organized [[Redmoon|Redmoon parties]], which were actually happenings, in a ruin in the wilderness of the [[wikipedia:Pentland Hills|Pentland Hills]], near [[wikipedia:Edinburgh|Edinburgh]]. Attractions: Super-8 films from their youth, old children's songs mixed over electronic beats, a large campfire, and a red moon. In their own Hexagon Sun studio, located in a bunker in the hills near the ruin, they recorded their first LP, ''[[Twoism (release)|Twoism]]'' ('95), which found its way to [[Skam]] through [[Autechre]]'s [[Autechre|Sean Booth]] a year later. The Manchester label immediately contacted the [[Boards of Canada|Scots]] and released the mini-LP ''[[Hi Scores|Hi Scores (release)]]'' ('96). [[Warp]] then signed them, and the story with ''[[Music Has The Right To Children]]'' truly began. Four years later, a genuine cult has erupted around the duo - a recent auction on eBay saw one of the hundred LPs of ''[[Twoism|Twoism (release)]]'' sell for 710 pounds - and ''[[Geogaddi]]'' is already one of the most anticipated albums of 2002.

 GEOGADDI LOST ALLE HOOGGESPANNEN VERWACHTINGEN IN. Opnieuw creëert 'Boards' zijn eigen sprookjeswereld vol echo's uit een onbekend verleden - een universum ver weg van het hier en nu.
 '''Mike''' reageert instemmend. {{boc|We proberen zo weinig mogelijk aanknopingspunten met het heden te hebben. Ik hoop dat onze muziek over dertig jaar nog steeds gewaardeerd wordt zonder een bepaalde tijd of trend of scene in herinnering te roepen. Onze favoriete muziek is altijd melancholisch en droevig geweest, en ook een beetje beschadigd - als het geluid van een verroeste film. Dat effect maakt het voor veel mensen nostalgisch. Onze intentie is om de mensen iets vertrouwds te geven en ze tegelijkertijd te vervreemden van de wereld die zij kennen.}} {{boc|Een deel van ons wil dat alles perfect is,}} vult '''Marcus''' aan, {{boc|een ander deel probeert alles wat we zorgvuldig opgebouwd hebben weer kapot te maken, maar wel op een briljante manier.}} Elektronische muziek wordt steevast geassocieerd met sciencefiction, futurisme, cyberspace, een wereld van robots en machinerie. Een cliché, meent '''Mike'''. {{boc|In de jaren '70, toen Kraftwerk op zijn hoogtepunt was, was dit misschien nog wel origineel, nu getuigt het van weinig originaliteit en verbeeldingsvermogen.}} In de muziek van Boards Of Canada weerklinkt de onschuld van een kind, het wonder der natuur, het eeuwenoude land van onze voorvaderen. Hier wordt geen toekomst geschetst, maar een herinnering uit het collectieve onderbewustzijn opgegraven. Het terughalen van een verloren jeugd bijvoorbeeld. {{boc|Een terugkerend thema in onze muziek,}} aldus '''Mike''', {{boc|omdat het mij persoonlijk erg bezighoudt. Ik word verdrietig als ik aan mijn kindertijd terugdenk en verdriet is de beste inspiratiebron die er is.}}
-Welke herinnering ligt ten grondslag aan 1969, het enige vocale nummer op Geogaddi, vraag ik. '''Mike''' cryptisch: {{boc|1969 in the sunshine verwijst naar een bepaalde periode in het bestaan van een religieuze groepering en tegelijkertijd naar die tijd in het algemeen. Het ademt de hoop van een optimistische generatie die zich niet bewust is van het onheil dat haar te wachten staat.}} De muziek van Boards Of Canada zit vol met dit soort geheimzinnige boodschappen en verwijzinkjes. {{boc|Ze geven de muziek een context,}} legt '''Marcus''' uit, {{boc}en in sommige gevallen een heel specifieke betekenis.}} Nummers als Music Is Math, A Is To B As B Is To C en The Smallest Weird Number ('70' volgens Mike) verraden een bovenmatige interesse voor wiskunde. Een interesse die als een rode draad over Geogaddi heenloopt, bekent Mike. '''Marcus''' bevestigt zelfs het gerucht dat het duo zo nu en dan de cijferreeks van Fibonacci (1, 2, 3, 5, 8,13 enzovoort) in zijn composities verwerkt. {{boc|En ook wel andere vergelijkingen en quotaties,}} meldt hij, {{boc|maar meestal maken we gewoon muziek zoals ieder ander.}}

 Even voorstellen: Boards Of Canada. Enigmatisch elektronicaduo uit Schotland. Makers van de sprookjesachtig mooie CD's Music Has The Right To Children en Geogaddi. Beatfreaks met een voorliefde voor folkies Joni Mitchell en The Incredible Stringband. Inspiratiebron voor Radiohead en vele anderen. Middelpunt van een heuse cultus. Ambitie: onzichtbaar blijven.
