They've never talked with a Dutch journalist. In any case, they don't talk at all. Performed since their entry in 1998 an average of once every three years. Keeping that same tempo with their albums. They live and work, self-contained in the woods of the Scottish Pentland Hills. Boards of Canada: Music's last mystery. They've just added another chapter to their myth, ''The Campfire Headphase''. Koen Poolman travelled to Scotland to meet his heroes...

Let's begin at the end: The Radiohead question. Without Boards of Canada's ''Music Has The Right To Children [MHTRTC]'' (1998), ''Kid A'' (2000) would have sounded completely different, according to reports. Mike and Marcus hesitate - "I'd never dare say that", "as if they haven't made other fantastic albums", "maybe they'd been listening to Aphex and Autechre." No, that success they refuse to claim. That Thom Yorke is an admirer of their warm, brooding electronica is enough. They think that ''Kid A'' and ''Amnesiac'' are beautiful records. However, U2 also appear to be fans. That leaves them cold. They couldn't care less about fame. Fact is, ''MHTRTC'' and its follow-up ''Geogaddi'' - both sold more than 200,000 copies - after Aphex Twin and Nightmares On Wax, the best-sellers in Warp's experimental catalogue - countless bands and producers have been inspired.

The new record. It doesn't disappoint. 'A genuine Boards of Canada lp', they think themselves, with elements of ''Twoism'' and including subtle guitar loops. Dreamt road-trip through the old America. A lot less darker than ''Geogaddi''. Never have sounded so cheerful, as on "Peacock Tail", their 'Stevie Wonder' tune' (Marcus). Be careful of the last tunes: A heavy depression awaits.
