Buy IDM Music

Softer, subtler and more organic-sounding than Autechre and Squarepusher, this production by Boards of Canada provides the perfect blend for some nice background music to chill out to. Staying away from anything remotely similar to an ambient...

Well I thought the CD rocked at first. Extremely interesting music. I liked most of the songs on there. But the legal note in the song "One very important thought" talks about censorship and protecting our constitutional rights. It got me curious...

My introduction to Boards of Canada was through their "Campfire Headphase" release in 2005. This 1998 release, "Music Has The Right To Children" is a really good album, if you keep playing it for awhile. While there are a few tracks that grabbed...

THE CAMPFIRE HEADPHASE is a return from the darkness of GEOGADDI to a different kind of inspired brilliance which one can call "simply beautiful." You won't find references to Waco or Discordianism or hear darkly disturbing, convoluted voices....

The distinctive thing about BoC has always been the samples of movies, TV, children's tapes, and the like: Orange!
Where are the voices now? The new sound is less original, less surreal, and less interesting. Not bad, but it might as...

Having been a big fan of Mike Paradinas' label Planet-Mu for years, it's always nice to hear an up and cummer in the electronic scene. This album reminds me of the techniques used by a lot of IDM luminaries, such as Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, and...

Boards of Canada have taken a lot of heat (unjustly) for last year's release, the Campfire Headphase. Many fans were very disappointed with unexpected use of analog instruments and minimalist techniques within its songs. I'm sure these are the...

Last fall I wrote about the newest Boards of Canada album, The Campfire Headphase. I was excited when I heard about this new EP, to be released so soon after the previous record. If you've followed Boards of Canada, you've probably come to...

Boards of Canada has turned out 'Trans Canada Highway' as a follow-up to their latest full-length release 'The Campfire Headphase'; the new EP explores a darker place away from the warmth and light of the campfire. Having said that, 'Trans' is...

I know it has nothing to do with Piazzolla's tango, but since its melodies remain there, it's nice to listen. I mean, instead of listening to some poor composed pseudo electronic tango, let's listen to remixes of real "El Troesma" compositions...

Yes, really dessapointed me.

Where is Piazzolla ?, only in his voice.

Hi Perspective, is fine.

Compare with Madredeus Electronico, that one is a gem.

More Hi-Perpective you can listen on the...

These tracks offer glimpses into possible exploratory futures of our kind. Menace from space, or are we the menace, or are we breaking free from such threats entirely?

The beat-heavy tracks of the "Earth Orbit" disc give way to the spacier,...

I bought this on the strength of "Little Fluffy Clouds" and all the rave reviews. For the most part, however, my own scans suggest that the Ultraworld is devoid of life. With synthed out countdowns and mission control crosstalk, the Orb tries...

Having been recently introduced to the music we all listen to, and recieving the CD as a gift from an OE, I found that the first track "Little Fluffy Clouds" was right on track to what I was looking for - however the remainder of the disc, and...

I stumbled upon this album while browsing about on the iTunes store. I ended up downloading one of the tracks because it seemed catchy to me (Forgotten Places), and as it came up in some of my playlists, I realized that I really, really liked...

As we all know, Amon Tobin is the Einstein of intelligent rhythmic electronica hailing from the Ninjatune label. Now when you imagine Mr. Tobin collaborating with other artists, you might think they could only take away from his mind boggling...

With the noted exception of U.F.Orb, their albums can be a bit choppy. Running from the brilliant to the self-indulgent. This distills almost all of the best tracks they have ever done. For fans and new comers alike, this disc is great. If your a...

If you like boring repitive songs this CD is for you.There is only one good song on this CD and even it's not great. Do not wast your money with Orb, go get a Underworld or Fluke CD insted.

As mentioned elsewhere, the choice of tracks range from the obvious releases (Little Fluffy Clouds, Blue Room) to noisy crap that was never released (Mickey Mars). The version of 'Towers of Dub' is noodly and boring, and tracks like PI and DJ...
