[[Salad Fingers|David Firth]] loves them.
{{discography}}
Pre-Warp releases (generally unavailable unless you really dig after them; the last two are somewhat easier to get a hold of):
Line 34:
* 2005 - ''The Campfire Headphase''
* 2006 - ''Trans Canada Highway'' EP
* 2013 -
{{creatortropes}}
* [[An Aesop]]: "One Very Important Thought".
* [[Arc Number]]: 70. "Sixtyten" is based on how "70" is said in French. ''Geogaddi'' features a song called "The Smallest Weird Number," which happens to be 70. Before being signed to Warp, they were on their own independent label called Music70.
Line 46 ⟶ 45:
* [[Ghibli Hills]]: Boards of Canada is arguably the aural equivalent of this. When they're not being terrifying, that is.
* [[New Sound Album]]: ''The Campfire Headphase'' shifted Boards of Canada's sound into a more guitar, pastoral sound driven direction, mainly to avoid pigeonholing. Fans and critics are divided on whether or not this is for the better.
**This experimentation continued with ''Tomorrow's Harvest,'' which also had mixed reviews.
* [[Non-Appearing Title]]: None of their albums or EPs feature the album title in a song, ''In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country'', ''Twoism'', and ''Boc Maxima'' being exceptions.
* [[Number of the Beast]]: ''Geogaddi'''s last track, "Hidden Window", is 1:46 minutes of silence in order to make the final album length 66:06. [[Word of God]] claims this was done [[For the Lulz]] after a suggestion from Warp Records president Steve Beckett, playing on more gullible listeners' worries about the [[Subliminal Seduction]] and scary stuff in their material.
