By now, you've gotten a fair idea of my musical preferences: a little bit 80s, a little bit electronica/dance, a little bit classic stuff. It’s music I like, certainly, but as [livejournal.com profile] osirius pointed out to me a couple of weeks ago I’ve gotten into a bit of a rut. I got him to recommend me one group of note, and he pointed me to the Scottish electronica duo Boards of Canada, with its dream-like electronica. Am I incorrect to say their music has a lot in common with Tangerine Dream’s?

In my YouTubing, I’ve found more than a few nice tracks, liking particularly the pairing of “MacQuarie Ridge” (a reference to the New Zealand/southwest Pacific fault zone of the same name), a bonus-in-Japan track off of their 2005 The Campfire Headphase with this National Geographic video of the aurora borealis as seen from the Northern Norway community of Salten.

And you? Do you have any more recommendations for me?
