Pitchfork

While some will complain about Boards of Canada's failure to cover new territory, the rest of us will delight in what we see as a very accomplished album packed with great music. ...more

Pitch Fork Media

It's a bit of a stretch, but a while ago I compared Boards of Canada's seminal Music Has the Right to Children with Miles Davis' Kind of Blue . I wasn't saying anything about the similarity or relative quality of the actual music, of course; I ...more

ShakingThrough.net

Boards of Canada (comprised of Scottish cut and paste duo Marcus Eoin and Michael Sandison) stay the course with Geogaddi , the follow-up to 1998's electronica landmark Music Has the Right to Children . Themes of kids at play and sinister, ...more

Drowned In Sound

In terms of anticipated releases for the year 2002, Geogaddi probably ranks up near the top of the list in terms of electronic music. After dropping their Music Has The Right To Children damn near four years ago, the duo of Marcus Eoin and ...more

Trouser Press

Whereas Music Has the Right to Children's pastoral atmospherics were airy and open, Geogaddi is faintly claustrophobic and tense. ...more

Armchair DJ

"Geogaddi" improves on "Music Has the Right to Children" by taking the Boards of Canada sound into darker, more disturbing and fragmented directions. ...more

Almost Cool

People wishing the group would change up their style a little more might find themselves a bit disappointed, but everyone else should be happy to know that they've again put forth a very solid effort, and one of the best electronic releases yet this year. ...more

Playlouder

sample: Dandelion Sorry, but it has to be said: Boards Of Canada have a major over-rating issue going on and 'Geogaddi', their second album, does nothing to dispel it. Its predecessor, 1998's 'Music Has The Right To Children' was a masterpiece ...more

Playlouder

Too much of 'Geogaddi' just rests on the Boards' well established tricks. ...more

The Onion (A.V. Club)

The results can be overwhelmingly moving, but also overbearing after 66 minutes of breathless wonder. ...more

Neumu

Boards of Canada, for me, have always been about landscapes. I bought the Scottish duo's 1998 album Music Has the Right to Children a year ago, and it simultaneously colored my world and acquired a certain significance from my own environment. ...more
