Boards of Canada :: Geogaddi (Warp) —24 years later
Boards of Canada didn’t just shape how we hear music — they reshaped how we experience reality, and Geogaddi remains their most unsettling proof: a deliberately disorienting, symbol-laced descent where warmth masks dread and mystery is the message.
