Boards of Canada In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country Released in 2000 8.8/10 Styles Ambient Minimalist Electronica Trip Hop Song Highlights Kid for Today |
Boards of Canada filled the 4 year gap between their first and second albums with several EPs and bootlegs. The most widely released of these was In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country. The EP is 4 tracks long. There's 2 average songs, 1 really good one and one earth shatteringly brilliant display of minimalist electronica, which is worth the $15 alone. "Kid for Today," the opener, is simply amazing. A big, swirling cosmic trip, laced with slow, staggered beats and a gorgeous ambient melody. The rest of the EP is great, but make no mistake, the only real reason to buy this EP is for this song. If they'd waited a year or two, and tacked it onto Geogaddi, that album would score 11/10. |
