Day 9: A song I can dance to—Alpha and Omega
30 days of music, but exclusively Boards of Canada: day 9.
I don't dance any more. It's for the best. BoC aren't remotely dance-y anyway. But they do veer into the vaguely uptempo here and there. XYZ is tempting, but no, let's go with Alpha and Omega, another from Geogaddi. (That's Geogaddi's sleeve art up top. Let's do more pictures.)
I've been looking for an excuse to include this. It's one of my favourites, but as I said, only in more recent years. That's one of the joys of BoC, or perhaps just loving a band for a very long time: the back catalogue keeps giving.
Not one of BoC's signature melodies—I'd describe this more as pagan techno—but still unmistakably and mesmerisingly them.
