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

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

Geogaddi is even more stripped-down and beautiful than Music Has..., BOC using simple circular rhythms and eerie samples to create an airless, ethereal ultraworld. ...more
Splendid
Geogaddi isn't a classic.... Disappointing, however, it is not. ...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

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
